Recommended weird anime.

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.

Aesthetically Pleasing Anime Movies

The mentions below are a combination of beautiful visuals animation movies that had captured an immediate attention due to its fresh and appealing color choices and drawing-styles; yet, still intrigued the audience with a unique plot. Before you check out the list, keep in mind that I did not forget any of Studio Ghibli productions. I think every project in Ghibli is so special that I feel I need to make a separate post, don’t you agree? Plus, I want to give a shout-out to other animes. Some are extremely underrated and need much more love and appreciation!  ❤️  this and enjoy~

Forreal. Almost all of these are very accessible to people who don’t even watch anime. Anohana, Your Name, 5 Centimeters/s, Garden of Words, Girl Who Lept Through Time, and A Silent Voice are all just PHENOMENAL movies.
