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.
Dorohedoro is fantastically weird but solid world building and funny as fuck too.
Sokushi Cheat…, aka My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered… sounds like a lousy isekai, but was surprisingly meta and funny.
Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction was really hard to watch, but it’s really good. It’s difficult to explain the appeal.
Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku/Where Does the Doomsday Train Go? - Also a little difficult to watch, but really fun world building.
Elusive Samurai/Nige Jouzu No Wakagimi - A fun show that has style and is focused on meta instead of developing characters.
Samurai Flamenco - Both a tribute and parody of tokusatsu shows, that is entertainingly weird.
Hands Off Eizouken!/Eizouken Ni Wa Te Wo Dasu na - A beautiful tribute to the spirit of animators, but meta and funny at the same time. Better than this season’s Zenshuu.
Shuumatsu Train isn’t difficult to watch! It is the most classic of classic plots: a band of heroes sets off to save their village and faces all kinds of trials along the way, making them stronger as individuals and as a group, before defeating the Great Evil and saving the princess. It also has trains.
Hands Off Eizouken! Is my favorite anime of all time but not that weird compared to others.
Yeah, Eizouken’s one of my faves too.
I was specifically thinking of the parts where the girls “go into” their drawings to develop their ideas, as being different from your standard manga/anime narrative story.
IIRC, the town that they live in is strange too…
