The ones on youtube uploads look pretty good, I just remember when the show was airing there were two or three warring fan sub groups. Which is honestly quite in keeping with the source material.

I don’t see a manga recommendation thread so I’ll ask here. I’m reading Akira for the first time in the beautiful 35th edition. Enjoying the hell out if it. Where can I get more of that level of world building, insane art, and tackling the government themes? Bonus if it’s finished and collected in an amazing package like Akira was. I’ve got all of Jojonium and Bersek Deluxe. I read one piece and chainsawman in the weeklies. And jojolion when it comes out. bonus bonus are there any manga about guys in there 30s tackling existential crisis?

do not ignore otomo's other sci fi works like many unfortunately do and also grab a copy of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind there's bundles of manga about existential crises's , for example: Ore wa Mada Honki Dashitenai dake half of what Inio Asano puts out several of Jiro Taniguchis manga Wanitokagegisu Ressentiment (although its a background theme in most of the artists work really) Hoshi Mamoru Inu

Read a few chapters of "legend of the strongest man kurosawa" and ordered Solanin. Will take Davincie's word and check out more otomo.

Going to ask for a recommendation but keep it wide open this time. Recommend me your weirdest, oddest, most unusual show or movie that most likely made no sense or wasnt even good but you enjoyed anyway. Im even willing to drop the "no horror" stipulation I usually have for this one so go all out on whatever genre you feel like.

Inaka Isha is an adaptation of the Franz Kafka story a Country Doctor given additional surrealism through weird perspective focus throughout the work. Kujira no Chouyaku is a 22 minute movie about a whale very slowly jumping out of the water and falling back in.

Alternativlely, Bagi, The Monster of Mighty Nature. Proto-furry TV movie made by Osamu Tezuka about his fears of the dangers of genetic experimentation? Yes please!

Along these lines, Chargeman Ken--extremely old, done for peanuts, barely even animated at all and condensing so much into five minutes that it's remarkable.

Thirding Mayoiga, and adding Interlude (2003). Dub preferably for the silliest experience, but it's a pile of incredible nonsense in any form.

More just along the lines of just weird and odd, but I really enjoyed Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. In a more somber, ponderous way, Angel's Egg fits the bill in being a movie that you have to find the meaning of it all for yourself. And if we are talking about goofy, odd shows with a lot of charm but questionable quality, Popee the Performer and Popteamepic come to mind.

I enjoy anime the most when it's completely absurd in premise and/or execution: FLCL, Girls und Panzer, Cells at Work!, Panty & Stocking, etc. What are some good, light in tone (or at least obviously comically over the top with dark humor) animes that would fit my clearly discerning pallet? I'm asking you guys because I don't know poo poo about anime. Case in point, I picked up Madoka Magica at one point because it looked like a cute but somber magical girl anime, and welp

There are varying degrees of absurd, from the setting being absurd to the narrative, and there's a difference in high-energy absurd and other-worldly absurd. So these recommendations are likely to be all over the place in terms of what you're trying to find. If you can deal with gore, definitely check out Dorohedoro. Dead Leaves is prototypical Imaishi, about a Prison break on the Moon. Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi is Gainax from the same era as FLCL and like Panty and Stocking shifts genres each episode. Jungle Wa Itsumo Hake Nochi Guu is a comedy set in a Jungle village with one of the main characters being super weird in ways that lead to defying reality. Shimoneta is an ecchi satire on how overzealous censorship affects society. Keijo!!!!!!!! is an ecchi sports anime about girls fighting each other using only their boobs and butts. Popteamepic is a sketch comedy that is unique in various aspects, mostly in a meta sense. Popee the Performer is a cg comedy about these people working at a circus inadvertantly killing and maiming each other SegaHardGirls is a cg comedy about anthropomorphic Sega Consoles going to school and entering actual Sega Video Games to complete tasks and earn medals to graduate. Kaiba Sci-fi set on an alien world where memories and minds can be stored in chips Inferno Cop Flaming Skeketon Cop seeks justice And of course, Princess Tutu.
