"Weird" Animes

R2J · (#1 (**permalink**))

Have you ever gone looking for new animes to watch on youtube, cruchyroll or veoh? And when finding the anime and watch it, you can see already in the first five minutes its either odd or fanservice anime. Has that happened to you?

I love 'odd', that's why I watch films by Takashi Miike.
But I'm not really into fan service.
So not quite sure what you're talking about here. Sorry.
But hey, if you want to talk 'odd' I'm your man!

I watched the first episode of Salaryman Kintaro in which he, well erm... sharpened some pencils. Now I wasn't expecting that.

I agree that many people who arent into violance and nudity would still like Elfen Lied. At its core the show is a romance/tragedy. Although violants is an important element, so if you cant handle it, you probably should avoid it. Thats why the first scene is so over the top; they are just trying to weed out the people who cant handle it right away.

The king and queen of wierd anime are Bobobo-Bobo-bobo, and Seto no Hanayome. Both are random, strangely writtten, and above all, hillarious in the way that they can hardly be taken seriously as works of value =P though I do sort of like Seto no Hanayome >_>
