Anime/Manga Weirdest Anime?

[gimmepie]

tbh I was confuse by the whole RailDex series and put it on hold. Should I finish it?

It's pretty good, so if you can work it out I'd say so.

Bookseller Honda-san is weird, it's like something you'd find on r/SurrealMemes.

Yurikuma Arashi was... something.

It's heavily surreal but at its core it might be about lesbianism in Japan, to a similar level that Revolutionary Girl Utena is.

The anime doesn't do a great job of explaining many aspects of things going on in the series, because the author was prone to getting unnecessarily wordy in his descriptions in the novels. I still enjoy the series, myself, though, and things do get better explained the deeper in you get for the anime. It also requires employing suspension of disbelief for the way you think religions of the world work (particularly Christianity) because the author takes quite a few creative liberties with them.

food wars literally like any time someone eats some food it goes into this weird fantasy sequence where their clothes come off and basically like. am i allowed to say this on pc like they. o-word????? god idk i regret making this post i'm leaving bye

I love Food Wars dearly but there's no denying it's definitely up there for one of the weirdest animes I've ever watched.

I can definitely see that but there's no denying it's a very weird show.

samurai flamenco... like, what @_@ when I got to the halfway point I was like ???? what be happening this suddenly feels like a weird comical and exaggerated parody

Kakegurui. For some reason I realy like it, though. It's about a school where bets are really important. Oh, and I guess SAO, especially Alfheim Online. I liked it while I was watching it, but looking back, it is a weird show.

Bobobobobobobo for sure. The whole anime is basically a big ass acid trip.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan

Oof.

I don't even know what drove me to watch it.

Oof.

damn, this anime... people claimed it was funny, but when I watched it, I found the gore really stupid and unfunny

(and gore doesn't even bother me but seeing the mc abused by this "angel" was really stupid)

Watching Serial Experiments Lain right now and yeah, it's one of the weirdest things I've seen.
But not in a "haha funny" kind of weird, it's actually unsettling.

It's definitely weird. One of my favourites too.

We've gotten this far and nobody's mentioned Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?

To overly simplify the plot, it's basically like Doctor Who vs. Dracula but everyone's super flamboyant and they beat each other up using their imaginary friends who are named after 80s bands. Go youtube "Jojo without context" or something similar. It's extremely weird but it's also strangely heartfelt (and even heartbreaking) at times.

It's my favorite anime/manga series of all time. Considering that I've been an anime connoisseur for 21+ years and Jojo managed to dethrone my previously-undisputed favorite of many years (Hellsing Ultimate), that really speaks volumes about its quality.

Might be my opinion, but JoJo was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the thread title. Afterall, it's bizarre.

One of the weirdest I've ever seen has been Devilman
