Anime Weird or Strange Anime

Is there any anime that you've watched that was weird or strange?

Here's some anime that I've watched that I thought was either weird or strange.

Pugyuru

Ai Mai Mi

Kemeko DX or Kemeko Deluxe

 

[It's Thinking 2]

Gantz, FLCL, Perfect Blue, Paranoid Agent, there's some bizarre stuff out there.

 

[Yousef]

Yuru yuri, needless, girls bravo and a couple more.

 

[Srmistarious]

Excel saga, shin sekai yori, alien nine, witch hunter robin.

 

[afureru]

Chief among them is Excel Saga and it's spinoff, Puni Puni Poemy, but Dokuro-chan is a close second.

There is no shortage of weird shows, but from the top of my head I can think of a couple!

Kuuchuu Buranko is a great one, characters often use live action for the close-up faces, and one of the characters is straight up a real person along side other 2D characters and pretty much everything in that anime's visual is insane. I have no idea how something like that was made, but I'm glad someone did it.

Kaiba is pretty unique, the visuals and the world of the show is weird, but very memorable. It's just a bit funny how horny it can be with that art style.

The whole Jewelpet franchise is a fever dream, but Jewelpet Sunshine is easily the weirdest one out of all seasons, some times I have to check some scenes again to make sure my mind dindn't just make up some fake anime. Not sure how much I would recommend it, though. If you need something weird from that series that is also more enjoyable, Jewelpet Happiness is a better choice.

Paniponi Dash! is a classic. You don't have to do much outside of watching any opening from that show to understand why I'm mentioning it.

I also have to give a special mention to anything Ikuhara worked on, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Sailor Moon S/SuperS, Sarazanmai, Yuri Kuma Arashi... etc. All those shows are extremely memorable for their surreal visuals, but I am particularly a fan of his silly humor.

Cromartie high comes to mind and while the actual anime isn't wierd, the ghost stories dub is notoriously strange as the translation team intentionally just ad-libbed the entire script, making the story completely different to the original.
There's also magical shopping arcade abenobashi but that one is weird even for me.

Paniponi Dashi! is one of my faves and that video you linked says it unavailable, just letting you know.

 

[emotionalskyscraper]

I don't know what could be considered weird by anime standards, but... Tenshi no Tamago (Angel's Egg), Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, Plastic Nee-san, Dream Hunter REM... and maybe Flip Flappers.

 

[Nevendmisy]

The creators of excel were totally 100% on that zaza there is no fucking way someone sober made this show but it's really goddamn fucking fun as shit the only anime I have watched that was funny as it was gintama which can be considered weird too since a lot of the jokes in it are really bizarre

serial experiments lain

I watched that in early 2022 and it was weird but also the powerline buzzing a lot.

 

[RageBurner]

I'd say Lain, despite its cult following and also Nichjou.

 

[CureMofurun]

Weird, it's working fine for me, both here and on youtube. Some country restriction maybe? It's just a funny short clip from Sailor Moon S

 

[Thinaxanel]

Is there any anime that you've watched that was weird or strange?

Here's some anime that I've watched that I thought was either weird or strange.

Pugyuru

Ai Mai Mi

Kemeko DX or Kemeko Deluxe

I would definitely put Needless on the list of strange anime that I've watched.
And apparently, the manga was even crazier.

Yep, probably a country restriction on YouTube, as it says "this video contains content from Viz Media, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

I haven't watched it before, so I didn't add it but thanks for mentioning the anime. Maybe I should've added these two:

Potemayo

Sore dake ga Neck or That is the Bottleneck

 

[RetroLaw]

The Laughing Salesman ?

 

[spectresfrommercury]

sci fi harry is a mind trip so is also dead leaves too

 

[ObscureJigglypuff]

The melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, Kick heart, Kemonozume.

comic was good for a laugh, never knew it got adapted.

Personal favorite out of all the anime [not that much] I've watched. On that note, anime humor is pretty nuts when it wants to be so it's not surprising that a lot of gag anime is cropping up ITT.

Sneedless is legendary.

Can't say anything about its adaptation but the original Dorohedoro comic is really out there. As for actual anime, I'm not sure if I would recommend it but Air Master (2003) had a knack for dropping my jaw to the floor, usually not in the good way though. Also, a thread like this isn't complete without mentioning

It's a modern classic of gag anime.

that’s true

I loved it.

I'd add Paranoia Agents
