Anime Long Live the Cult Classics!

Which work (only one allowed) outside of the mainstream appeals to you so much that it surpasses any current or past trends?

This is mine:

 

[Ilathariel]

No beating Sho Fumimura writing nor Ryoichi Ikegami drawings. Very close to perfection

Haven't seen anyone yet mentioning the legendary "The Laughing Salesman" Series from 1989. One of the best dark comedy anime series I've ever watched if not THE best. Fun fact: The original voice actor voiced also Darth Vader in the Japanese Dub of Star Wars, among other characters that I can't recall atm.

This game comes to mind. It's easily one of the scariest and fucked up games I've ever played.
It's got such a strong atmosphere and that alone puts it above most horror games today, to the point where it's really scary even before there's any combat or threat against the player; just being in this game's world is endlessly unnerving. Highly recommended for fans of Lovecraft too, the imagery translates remarkably well in these old 3D graphics.

If you're used to picking up your phone while watching, don't. The dialogue avoids redundancy unlike most anime, so you need to pay attention so you don't miss the character development (and if that highly hyped fight episode still affects you, stay away).

Is it a comedy with horror elements?

It was really cheap on GOG. Thanks!

It is, but the ending has enough silver linings to keep it from being too sad
(I also cried )
