ITT: Surreal AnimeI find it pretty hard to find any surreal anime out there. Paprika is a pretty trippy movie when it's not trying to be a murder mystery, and Neon Genesis Evangelion has a couple of trippy episodes. Apart from those, I got nothing.

This short Manga:http://brasscockroach.com/h4ll0w33n2007/manga/Amigara-Full/Amigara-1.htmlTL;DR:http://encyclopediadramatica.com/It%27s_slowly_coming_this_way!
Pugyuru is pretty weird. Potemayo ripped it off and was more successful, but Pugyuru is funnier.
At least one episode in every good series is a "trip" episode.i.e. MtH's "Michiko gets a fever" episode, KKN's "loli's sister feeds a giant green monster thingy who is actually her friend's dad", that one mushroom congo thingy..
Popee the performer can get pretty surreal.http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=5E922AE41D1FCDF9
>>73The dated graphics make this about a hundred times more unsettling for some reason.
>>73Huhuhuhu...

>>79Fuck yeah, I love this show.

Hmmm, Mononoke can be pretty trippy. It's just not extremely trippy in the sense of "this is the most random shit ever."It's trippy, but if you think about it hard enough at the end of each arc and interpret it in your own way you can make sense of it all.Also, the Paranoia Agent (same people who did Paprika) is a pretty surreal anime too. It's short, you may wanna check it out.

Jigoku Shoujo has some pretty trippy moments, although the plot of the show is pretty formulaic and episodic from what I've seen so far (5 episodes). Bad things happen to innocent person, innocent person wants revenge, innocent person hears about the Hell Correspondence, innocent person contacts Hell Correspondence, Hell Girl gives innocent person the straw dummy, innocent person pulls the red string on the straw dummy, bad people go to hell.Also, as silly as this sounds, Sailor Moon can be pretty bizarre at times as well. There was this one where they went into this alternate dimension on a cursed bus, and another where evil dolls came to life, and another where Sailor Moon's cat encouraged little girls to be anorexic.

>>115I can't remember specifically what episode it was, unfortunately.And I don't know if it's worth continuing, I'm on episode 8 and the writing quality is really going down the shitter fast. Last edited 09/06/13(Sat)05:03.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YK9N3Nq6sQIs a good example of the show's trippiness, also.. the artwork is exceptionally bad in this episode to make it that way.

Tekkonkinkreet.For the first 2/3s this film is eye-candy, but it turns into a surreal acidtrip near the end.Highly, highly recommendedDead Leaves is another good one. It's probably one of the most ridiculous anime I've ever seen. XD Also, there's a collection of short animated films called "Genius Party" and there's a lot of crazy surreal things in there.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2TA8Pw2WPE&feature=channelhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSRMNrQt3W4&feature=channelActually, anything done by Studio 4°c will suit your surreal needs.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Mind Game yet
No Kuchu Buranko / Trapeze? It's airing now (three episodes out) and it's probably the most surreal show airing at the moment.Really...

Weird, but I'm enjoying it quite a lot. It's so colorful! The animation is all over the place, and sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's intentionally bad or if the animators are just bad, but it works very well in context.
what about soul taker?admitedly i haven't watched allot of it, but it was a kaladioscope on crack i'll tell you that. it gave me headaches, the animation is wonderful.aparently it's one of thoughs things where verything makes sence in the end.

>>2040DOOD!

>>2151I guess that's what drug abusers get reincarnated as :pOn the long-forgotten subject of Hell Girl, I'd say it's more ridiculous then trippy.Watch Cat Soup and Kaiba instead. Last edited 10/01/16(Sat)06:37.

Studio 4°C has pretty awesome short movies. You need to check them out. Most of them are like 15 minutes long.I especially love Dimension Bomb. I was like "OK, wth happened just now" the whole time. Plus, the art is amazing!>>2038 mentioned one of the movies :>
>>2153You've seen Tekkonkinkreet, right?

Don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but, Ghost Hound.The whole show is about a narcoleptic kid that has bizarre dreams related to his tragic past, and, well, they some how surface in reality and interact with our plane of existence. An overall bizarre anime to say the least.

I really reccomend Fooly Cooly for you,it's pretty awesome, but very strange.
yeah, FLCL is more of a hot-blooded, awesome to the max kind of surreal, very unlike Yume Nikki.but still, anyone who hasn't seen it, go see it.but i think pretty much everyone's seen it.pic of haruko cosplayer i took yesterday because i dont have any other FLCL pics.
>>2218Best movie about Shit ever.Now I ask, why did I watch a movie about shit.

Have a list of artsy pretentious fag anime, this should fit the bill. I haven't watched much of anything on here yet, but I personally recommend Cencoroll.
