    When Lain came out it was pretty weird - but then again I liked it as it reminded me of what David Lynch would maybe of done :-D

    Umm.. DigiCharat is another crack-anime which can be a bit weird for some... :-D

    I guess this all depends on your interpretation of weird?

      I think david lynch would have made something more like the last episode of evangelion.

          FLCL and Dead Leaves -- Magic Shopping Arcade (however it's spelled) is right up there. For erotic weirdness, nothing can beat Wicked City

            Abenobashi.

            Just got through watching the first volume. It is funnier than the covers would have you believe. Even the American voice acting is good.

            The "super magic weapon" used against the "Dark Lord" (who looks like the final boss in Secret of Mana) is in a word. . .genius.

            Oh and watch the scene in the third episode where the "Space Cops" are introduced. Check out what that Man/Woman is doing.

            Never heard of Wicked City. Will have to check that out and beg for the final dvds of ABENOBASHI.

              Wicked City is fun - I also have the live action version of that. THAT'S fun to play at clubs :-D

            haha... but you still have to love FLCL! The standup routines from the cast on the second soundtrack are in a new realm of weird all in themselves.

    FLCL and Boogiepop Phantom come to mind. Lain is also really weird.

    I always thought Pokemon was really weird too but maybe it's just me.

    I'd have to agree with 3 of the previous posts: Cat Soup, FLCL, and Dead Leaves are the strangest anime I've seen.

    Not only was it fairly weird, DL was so fast & furious I had to shut off the subtitles just to keep up with the story.

      I watched dead leaves for free on the day of release. Manga streamed it on the day of release for promotional stuff. Its pretty much non stop action the whole way.

      For those of you who haven't seen or heard of mind game. Goto the official Japan site and check the trailer here

      I'm suing your ass, I've got two people in convulsions here and an ambulance on the way!!!!!

      not really, but to tell you the truth, that wasn't all that weird compared to the actual Asian inspirations (not all of those images were Japanese as evidenced by the Korean writing) and slightly racist...

    Fight! Iczer One was one of the worst anime I have seen - it was bad-horror-sci-fi-weird.

    Azumanga Daioh is nonsensical/no-plot weird in a good way

    but "Puni Puni Poemi" is the weirdest I have seen. It parodies all anime stereotypes in one two-part OVA. It's just insane.

    Azumanga Daioh, Excel Saga, Cat Soup, Lain was pretty weird wasn't it, Paranoia Agent had some weird moments... especially towards the end with the sneezing algebraic equation boy and the driven insane detective.

      Paranoia Agent .. my wife hates it but I thought it was great, weird but great. Azumanga Daioh kills me.. that weird dream sequence where the girl gets new pigtails for xmas and pops off her existing ones.. HA. Lain starts weird and gets weirder but a must watch for any anime fan. FLCL .. weird but amazing at the same time.

    Kenrenko... (sp?) was crafty but demonically weird. Using children to charge the generator that lit the town lights... all in a game of hide and seek.

    "ready or not here I come..."

      That's Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek. I loved it too... very weird. Wish it had been longer!
