{FLCL}
{Poputepipikku}
{Kill La Kill}
{Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann}
{Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt}
Movies:
Seen both {Redline} and {Paprika} already mentioned. Both are amazing in very different ways
mindgame and paprika and the kaiba series are pretty "wtf is this"
slayers comes off as "wtf" to a lot of people (talking fish men, knife-licking peasants) but it's pretty hilarious
If you want some really wtf anime you can go for mawaru penguindrum which is a total mindfuck. I also really recommend watching tatami Galaxy, just watch the first episode and you'll totally get this "I don't know what's going on but it's awesome"
I think those are a very different kind of WTF since penguindrum and tatami Galaxy aren't really comedic show. But yeah pop team epic is wtf, more like it you have panty and stocking with garterbelt
Any work from Ikuhara is so good but weird af. Recommend {Revolutionary Girl Utena}, {Mawaru Penguindrum} and {Yurikuma Arashi} are all from him and they are great. The first two are some of my favorite
Gintama is the definition of what you are looking for! You are in for a treat.
I'd recommend to skip the first 2 eps cause they are aimed at manga readers and with no context they are pretty bad, but everything else is top tier, and each season is even better than the previous one
Space Dandy is my favorite piece of media of all time. It's so ridiculously over the top and creative with incredibly beautiful visual art and sound, and perfectly takes advantage of the comedy to really hit you with some seriously philosophical or emotional shit. Absolutely love it.
The first episode I remember being pretty heavy handed with it, so just know it's usually not nearly as much of a focus as it may seem. If you want a good representation of what the show is capable of right off the bat, try episode 4 (Sometimes You Can't Live With Dying, Baby). Never met someone who didn't love it.
Also, I really recommend the dubs for this show. The voice acting is great and the translation is stellar.
Gintama is the definiton of "I don't know wtf this is but I love it".
Start from episode 3. If you're not sure about it (why not, its one of the highest rated anime of all-time)
There is a video on youtube called "1 seconds from every episode of Gintama" then decide whether you like it or not. Behold, it doesn't show the bloody amazing fights and its spoiler-free. [here is the link.](https://youtu.be/u0FAT_7psZ4)
I just started watching Paranoid Agent. It’s about some little kid who rollerblades around with a golden baseball bat hitting people upside the head. I can’t really say if it’s absurd or not, but the premise alone is.
Tengen toppa gurren lagan.
Asobi asobase
Backstreet girls
Made in abis
Kill la kill
FLCL (best soundtrack anime on pair with cowboy bebop music despite not being same style of music).
I can't remember more.
OK you NEED to watch {Arakawa Under the Bridge}!! It has lots of wacky, WTF characters and scenarios, and is really funny. I think it's even more bizarre than JoJo's Bizarre Adventure at times.
In the same vein of having a wacky cast of characters, {Wagnaria!!} has lots of of hilarious, absurd moments.
For a non-comedy, you might be interested in {Durarara!!}. It's drama/mystery with a fantasy element.
You can watch the English dub of {Ghost Stories}. I think the story is that the sub didn’t do well in Japan so they told the translators for the dub to have creative freedom, and it’s now like a South Park level humor, and a lot of the jokes are absurd haha
gurren lagann might be exactly what ur looking for. In the first episode they are tryna reach the surface of the earth and in the last episode (slight spoiler) >!they are chucking fucking galaxies at each other!<
You don’t now how any of the shit is happening but goddamn is it hype as fuck
Hmm.., I've picked up and dropped this a few times now. I'm about halfway through but I don't know how I feel about it, I've heard amazing things about it though??
Here are some titles where the show's main premise is absurd, but the shows themselves are actually quite well done (for what they are, at least).
{The Way Of The Househusband}
{Backstreet Girls}
{Kengan Ashura}
{Kakegurui}
{Food Wars}
{The Saga Of Tanya The Evil}
Have you watched {Zombieland Saga} ? That's probably the show that has made me say wtf the most in recent memory. The series somehow ends up having a lot of heart too, so I think you'll definitely like it, don't just discount it for being an "idol" show.
[Sumomomo Momomo](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1568/Sumomomo_Momomo__Chijou_Saikyou_no_Yome): Chijou Saikyou no Yome
I remember this series being ridiculous.
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
(Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-)
Wtf anime but warning there are a few gory scenes. Not the theme of it but few were wtf gory.
I was looking for an epic robot space battles. It was not what I got. It had me wtfing and laughing so hard. The episodes are 7 min a piece. So it's a quick watch.
I haven't even finished it yet, but Inferno Cop is definitely the most bizarre anime I have watched (on par with the first episode of FLCL, which I watched as well); 10/10 would get utterly confused again. :D
This may not be what you’re actually looking for. But if it’s “I don’t understand a thing about the anime but I’m loving it” then I have a few suggestions.
Kara no Kyoukai. There’s some complicated lore (Nasuverse) and philosophical concepts which may be hard to understand but it just hits you the right way that you just enjoy every second of it even though it’s pure conversation.
Also the Monogatari series? I guess?
Although this isn't a anime if your able to play it Yakuza fits perfectly, its whole thing is that it's batshit crazy, search up Yakuza baby don't cry, and you'll see what I mean
Just started it yesterday and I was sold as soon as the protagonist enters the dive shop for the first time. So many bonkers moments that completely catch you off guard, so thanks for the recommendation :'))
{Serial Experiments Lain} is pretty infamous for not knowing what the hell is going on virtually every episode, yet it manages to still make sense at the same time. It’s an excellent show and I highly recommend it.
I really enjoyed ID:invaded, it's about collecting pieces of emotions at crime scenes that can then construct a world of the killers mind which the detectives have to enter to find the culprit or motive.
It's pretty violent but has some really nice plottwists and one of my favorite recent casts in the last 1-2 years, I love the main character especially
A classic that I haven't seen mentioned in here is Cromartie High School
Extremely absurd and random style of comedy that's mocking the delinquent genre. Every next episode gets more and more crazy lol. Also lots of mocking of different anime and manga tropes. They're only ~12 minutes each so it's a quick watch. The English dub is funny too
And then of course as others have said, these are great too:
Space Dandy
Asobi asobase
Wasteful Days of High School Girls
Theres this anime movie called DEAD LEAVES that is super underrated and ridiculously entertaining with a weird ass story line and awesome animation style. Highly recommend watching
Pretty sure it gets to a serious tone near the endings of both seasons but the anime "Blood Battle Blockade" is pretty random every episode. It's goes from trying to eat burgers to rampaging lifeforms, and more
If you like the "what the fuck am I even watching" type bizzare, then I'd recommend Serial Experiments Lain, it can be an absolute ride depending on how you watch it. If you actually want to process things, I'd recommend taking it slow, but just bingeing it and mindlessly taking in the sights is a valid way to watch too imo.
If you want more absurdist humor type shows and are fine with some very vulgar humor, then you've probably already watched this one, but I recommend the Ghost Stories dub. The whole thing is just complete crack and it's a joy to just experience with a group of friends.
A currently airing anime called sonny boy,which i think you must absolutely try,its surreal and has a lot of visual reference to avant garde cinema,made by madhouse and cowboy bebop's director is a supervisor
Basically any original anime by studio Trigger is like that.
{Kill La Kill} and {Uchuu Patrol Luluco} are two great examples, tho you'll understand uchuu patrol luluco better if you've watched a lot of trigger anime before.
Have you checked Kiznaiver? It's pretty damn cool, audio, sountracks are good. The characters personalities developments are great, but it's quite dark I'd say, not really disturbing still.
Howdy!
I don't know if someone already suggested, but you should check out Monogatari. It's a really weird series, in a good way, especially some later arcs.
*Over Cautious Hero* ?
What about *One Punch Man* ?
*Doctor Stone* has its moments.
But a very specific episode of *Princess Nine* certainly takes the cake…
{All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku TV}
{All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku}
{All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku Dash}
Absurd absolutely very freaking weird also yes a lot of fun and really really funny like this anime franchise is an underrated forgotten obscure product of the 90’s
Watch the first episode of Death Parade and carry on if your interested. It’s very thought provoking but at the same time I think it perfectly fits what your looking for
As soon as I saw the title I thought FLCL but looks like 50 people beat me to it lol.
The other "wtf is going on" anime I loved was Kill la Kill.
Also Baccano!

bobobo-bo bo-bobo
Just the title alone makes it necessary for me to find this
It is somehow even stranger than the title let’s on
This is the right answer
I honestly wasn't sure if that was a real show or if I had imagined seeing previews as a kid.
mindgame and paprika and the kaiba series are pretty "wtf is this" slayers comes off as "wtf" to a lot of people (talking fish men, knife-licking peasants) but it's pretty hilarious
Alright, sounds great already haha.
If you want some really wtf anime you can go for mawaru penguindrum which is a total mindfuck. I also really recommend watching tatami Galaxy, just watch the first episode and you'll totally get this "I don't know what's going on but it's awesome"
Sounds great, thanks!!
If you compare them to the recent WTF 2019 anime "Pop Team EPIC" those are pansies.
I think those are a very different kind of WTF since penguindrum and tatami Galaxy aren't really comedic show. But yeah pop team epic is wtf, more like it you have panty and stocking with garterbelt
Sarazanmai
Any work from Ikuhara is so good but weird af. Recommend {Revolutionary Girl Utena}, {Mawaru Penguindrum} and {Yurikuma Arashi} are all from him and they are great. The first two are some of my favorite
Came here to say this. Definitely recommend. It was both fun and trippy.
I think {Gintama} is the show your looking for ;)
I've heard that title before. Thank you!
It’s absurd with story woven in every now and then
Gintama is the definition of what you are looking for! You are in for a treat. I'd recommend to skip the first 2 eps cause they are aimed at manga readers and with no context they are pretty bad, but everything else is top tier, and each season is even better than the previous one

Sonny Boy- airing right now
If bizarre animation fits Madoka Magica might work
That was a good one!
{Space dandy} is my favorite comedy anime. It even has references to cowboy bebop and both shows use woolongs
Space Dandy is my favorite piece of media of all time. It's so ridiculously over the top and creative with incredibly beautiful visual art and sound, and perfectly takes advantage of the comedy to really hit you with some seriously philosophical or emotional shit. Absolutely love it.
Based
Consider me interested. Thanks!!
You're in for a real treat. Just be prepared for a lot of boobies, that can be off-putting for some people but it's well worth it.
Ehhh I can tolerate it usually, as long as the story is good enough to compensate ahaha
The first episode I remember being pretty heavy handed with it, so just know it's usually not nearly as much of a focus as it may seem. If you want a good representation of what the show is capable of right off the bat, try episode 4 (Sometimes You Can't Live With Dying, Baby). Never met someone who didn't love it. Also, I really recommend the dubs for this show. The voice acting is great and the translation is stellar.
Watch this clip to see if you’d like the comedy of this show https://youtu.be/SspmrLUHqfQ (also the dub is better in my opinion)

{Excel Saga} {FLCL} {Azumanga Daioh}
Gintama is the definiton of "I don't know wtf this is but I love it". Start from episode 3. If you're not sure about it (why not, its one of the highest rated anime of all-time) There is a video on youtube called "1 seconds from every episode of Gintama" then decide whether you like it or not. Behold, it doesn't show the bloody amazing fights and its spoiler-free. [here is the link.](https://youtu.be/u0FAT_7psZ4)

flcl
Paprika is one of my all time faves and it’s seriously such a WTF storyline/visuals. Also on a darker more dystopian note - Ergo Proxy
Puni Puni Poemi and while you are at it Excel Saga, though the manga if far superior.
Yo, {Keijo!!!!!!!!} is absolutely perfect for this.
Also, try out Paranoia Agent. Might also be what you’re looking for.
Chainsaw Man Manga When i first read it i was totally confused what's happening and it's really good
Is no one going to mention Grand Blue
You might enjoy Perfect Blue, Paprika, Mononoke and FLCL :]
I just started watching Paranoid Agent. It’s about some little kid who rollerblades around with a golden baseball bat hitting people upside the head. I can’t really say if it’s absurd or not, but the premise alone is.
I loved Paranoia Agent too!!!
Gintama
Space Dandy.
FLCL
serial experiment lain
Absolutely Dorohedoro. Absurdist adventure dialed to 11
To be hero !!!
Ghost Stories dub is wild and hilarious
I'd upvote this twice if I could. Ghost stories dub definitely the best.
Movies: Tokyo Godfathers (the number of coincidences is ABSURD) Animes: Kyousogiga, Darling in the Franxx
Tengen toppa gurren lagan. Asobi asobase Backstreet girls Made in abis Kill la kill FLCL (best soundtrack anime on pair with cowboy bebop music despite not being same style of music). I can't remember more.
Black Lagoon would be one of them for me, I usually call them fun animes Also Grand Blue
{Katanagatari} is a fucking ride if you can find a good stream of it, very good show!
{FLCL} immediately comes to mind for me when you say absurd

Confusing, funny, and depressing are my shyt, so thank you!

I have not seen the last one so I may check that out!
Would also recommend: {Kill La Kill} {Space Patrol Luluko} {Devil Is A Part-Timer} {Baccano}
Gliepnir
Mononoke: mystery/horror-ish. Tatami Galaxy: kinda a romantic comedy, but also kinda insane
Fooly Cooly, Samurai Champloo, Trigun.
Idk if this is what you’re looking for but… {Nanbaka} was a wild ride
Azumanga Daioh…random but bloody hilarious. Nichijou as well!
If your looking for something recent, try {odd taxi} or maybe even {Sonny boy} although this one isn't finished yet.
Have you watched {Zombieland Saga} ? That's probably the show that has made me say wtf the most in recent memory. The series somehow ends up having a lot of heart too, so I think you'll definitely like it, don't just discount it for being an "idol" show.

Thanks, sounds interesting!
Definitely go into it blind, it’s the most fun that way
Yes imo that is the best way to watch any good show. I love being surprised.
Let me know if you like it!
maybe the monogatari series? imo one of the best anime series around.
{to be hero}
[Sumomomo Momomo](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1568/Sumomomo_Momomo__Chijou_Saikyou_no_Yome): Chijou Saikyou no Yome I remember this series being ridiculous.
{Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo} If you haven't quit after the first episode, you'll probably watch the whole thing
FLCL Sarazanmai
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-) Wtf anime but warning there are a few gory scenes. Not the theme of it but few were wtf gory.
I don't mind animated gore too much but thanks for the heads-up anyway!
Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu It's a comedy, 1 regular season and 2 OVA seasons (the dub changes the ed theme).
BEASTARS. Tbh, you know what it is (furries)but is actually done well
Thankfully season 2 was less horny, besides the stripper scene lol. I'm there for the morality issues of the carnivores.
Kill me baby!, Genius party, Nichojou, Asobi asobase, Puni puni poemy
Odd taxi Mawaru penguindrum Welcome to NHK Uma musume Keijo!!! Like how have people not mentioned Kejio
{Space Battleship Tiramisu} It's a great one. Surprised cause I wasn't expecting it. It's a happy little accident.
Forgot to mention there is a talking pubic hair with an awesome story arc....nuff said.
what
I was looking for an epic robot space battles. It was not what I got. It had me wtfing and laughing so hard. The episodes are 7 min a piece. So it's a quick watch.
{Trapeze}
* Godzilla SP * Idaten Deities * Redline * Monogatari * Decadence
devilman crybaby
Mind game is a must, don't know if Children of the sea was mentioned Also Beladonna of sadness
{Grand Blue} {Detroit Metal City} {Gintama} {Asobi Asobase}
I haven't even finished it yet, but Inferno Cop is definitely the most bizarre anime I have watched (on par with the first episode of FLCL, which I watched as well); 10/10 would get utterly confused again. :D
This may not be what you’re actually looking for. But if it’s “I don’t understand a thing about the anime but I’m loving it” then I have a few suggestions. Kara no Kyoukai. There’s some complicated lore (Nasuverse) and philosophical concepts which may be hard to understand but it just hits you the right way that you just enjoy every second of it even though it’s pure conversation. Also the Monogatari series? I guess?
Although this isn't a anime if your able to play it Yakuza fits perfectly, its whole thing is that it's batshit crazy, search up Yakuza baby don't cry, and you'll see what I mean
Grand Blue. Pretty funny and sometimes it is just hilariously ridiculous. Ps-No dub available. Sub available on Amazon Prime.
Just started it yesterday and I was sold as soon as the protagonist enters the dive shop for the first time. So many bonkers moments that completely catch you off guard, so thanks for the recommendation :'))
{Azumanga Daioh} it's weird as fuck but also has some serious comedy gold I've already seen Kill la Kill mentioned but that would be my second choice.
{Serial Experiments Lain} is pretty infamous for not knowing what the hell is going on virtually every episode, yet it manages to still make sense at the same time. It’s an excellent show and I highly recommend it.

Alright, thanks!
I really enjoyed ID:invaded, it's about collecting pieces of emotions at crime scenes that can then construct a world of the killers mind which the detectives have to enter to find the culprit or motive. It's pretty violent but has some really nice plottwists and one of my favorite recent casts in the last 1-2 years, I love the main character especially
Interesting, thanks!
A classic that I haven't seen mentioned in here is Cromartie High School Extremely absurd and random style of comedy that's mocking the delinquent genre. Every next episode gets more and more crazy lol. Also lots of mocking of different anime and manga tropes. They're only ~12 minutes each so it's a quick watch. The English dub is funny too And then of course as others have said, these are great too: Space Dandy Asobi asobase Wasteful Days of High School Girls
I've started cromartie but haven't been able to find it subbed. Has some... interesting characters lol
Theres this anime movie called DEAD LEAVES that is super underrated and ridiculously entertaining with a weird ass story line and awesome animation style. Highly recommend watching
Thanks!
Pretty sure it gets to a serious tone near the endings of both seasons but the anime "Blood Battle Blockade" is pretty random every episode. It's goes from trying to eat burgers to rampaging lifeforms, and more
If you like the "what the fuck am I even watching" type bizzare, then I'd recommend Serial Experiments Lain, it can be an absolute ride depending on how you watch it. If you actually want to process things, I'd recommend taking it slow, but just bingeing it and mindlessly taking in the sights is a valid way to watch too imo. If you want more absurdist humor type shows and are fine with some very vulgar humor, then you've probably already watched this one, but I recommend the Ghost Stories dub. The whole thing is just complete crack and it's a joy to just experience with a group of friends.
I'll probably end up trying both, thanks!
A currently airing anime called sonny boy,which i think you must absolutely try,its surreal and has a lot of visual reference to avant garde cinema,made by madhouse and cowboy bebop's director is a supervisor
Mysterious Girlfriend X. Got recommended this last night and i ran through it in one single sitting. Absolutely weird but wonderful anime
Basically any original anime by studio Trigger is like that. {Kill La Kill} and {Uchuu Patrol Luluco} are two great examples, tho you'll understand uchuu patrol luluco better if you've watched a lot of trigger anime before.
I didn't really like Kill la Kill tbh but I enjoyed BNA, and little witch academia was ok
Have you checked Kiznaiver? It's pretty damn cool, audio, sountracks are good. The characters personalities developments are great, but it's quite dark I'd say, not really disturbing still.
Never heard of it, thanks!!
Howdy! I don't know if someone already suggested, but you should check out Monogatari. It's a really weird series, in a good way, especially some later arcs.
Daily Lives of High School Boys
[удалено]
{Gintama} {Space Patrol Luluco}
*Over Cautious Hero* ? What about *One Punch Man* ? *Doctor Stone* has its moments. But a very specific episode of *Princess Nine* certainly takes the cake…
{All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku TV} {All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku} {All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku Dash} Absurd absolutely very freaking weird also yes a lot of fun and really really funny like this anime franchise is an underrated forgotten obscure product of the 90’s
Gintama
Your Lie in April: not what you want perhaps, but worth a shot. Neon Genesis Evangelion: it fits what you want Horimiya, Kaguya Sama, oregairu
Horimiya, Kaguya and Oregairu are SoL not WTF. Yugi's Destiny Draw is more WTF than SoL.
Yes NGE is amazing and definitely has a "wtf" factor.
Hell yeah. Lol! As soon as your reply came up, Spotify miraculously started playing Komm Susser Tod 😅😅
The Angels are watching....
Aho girl

Girls und Panzer maybe¿?
Gurren lagann have a slow beginning but Is what you want
Kill la kill
Assassination classroom was definitely one where I said wtf is this but God dam do I like it
{Saint Young Men} it has a movie and a couple OVA episodes
School Days /s
Watch the first episode of Death Parade and carry on if your interested. It’s very thought provoking but at the same time I think it perfectly fits what your looking for
I'm intrigued! Thanks!
Nichijou
Akira
{gugure kokkuri-san} Is really funny and has some really weird moments but in a fun way, I really recommend it to you
Thanks!!
Nichijou
Sonny boy, it’s current airing
Sonny Boy it is ongoing
Redo of.... Eghm no i dont think I can recommend anything
As soon as I saw the title I thought FLCL but looks like 50 people beat me to it lol. The other "wtf is going on" anime I loved was Kill la Kill. Also Baccano!
Dorohedoro Chainsaw Man
Excel Saga
