Perfect blue (1997) Satoshi Kon

So at some point or another I think every anime fan reaches a moment where they watch something and realize “this is pretty weird”. So what I am trying to do here is present a list of anime I consider to be downright weird due to things like story, direction, structure, humor, and so on that are worth a recommendation. This is by no means a personal ranking, these are anime I am suggesting in what is just a random order. Enjoy.
