So what i want here are recomdations for anime that are weird af. What i would consider to be the ‘anime’ anime. Like this weird whatewer tf it actually is in thumbnail link ( my dear friend nokotan for those that dont want to clik on them ). Some other good example would be gintama.
Not sure on the exact flavor of “weird af” that Nokotan or Gintama get into since I haven’t seen them, but here’s some of the weirder shows I’ve watched:
Thinking along a different style of weirdness, there’s also shows like Serial Experiments Lain – but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.
Seconding Penguindrum as “built different”. It’s a classic imo, but it isn’t discussed enough, probably because everyone (like me) is convinced it isn’t a real anime but a fever dream they had after watching too much anime.
be forewarned that if you watch lain (made in 1998) you’ll be like “how the fuck did they know this would happen”
