the anime Gantz is really bizarre. It's 26 episodes and its a bit different from the general base of animes out there. there are a lot of violent scenes as well as some nudity/sex. Watch at your own risk and don't expect happy thoughts. It leaves you with the expression, ''wtf?''. Nonetheless I liked it :D

This is a really good show, but I'd say the bizarre factor is just above par as far as anime is concerned.

Wise Blood is a pretty bizarre novel now that I think of it.
keep posting...

If you've never watched Angel's Egg... well, I dunno. I consider it bizarre, but maybe that's just me. I also didn't like it, but apparently some people did so maybe you will, too? (Anime Recommendation Database says you might like these things as well.)

The manga about the spirals (someone mentioned that?) is Uzumaki, I believe (no relation to Naruto, of course). I've never read it, but I've heard it was pretty trippy, very bizarre, and somewhat nightmare-fuelish. You could probably find it at Onemanga.com or something.

Also maybe 20th Century Boys, or if you don't mind a mildly shounen flavor (and some graphic stuff!) perhaps MPD Psycho. And Akira, if you haven't seen that. Tends toward pretty crazy in the last ten minutes or so. I'm probably just mentioning that last one because we had to watch it as part of my class this week (on anime auteurs, haha).

it's definitely somethin different and some parts are kinda bizarre. not bizarre like some of satoshi kon's works tho (which I don't think are as good)

This is one of the most bizarre, and unsettling things I have ever seen.

Also, I know it's kind of "MAIN STREAM" but the only Anime I really like is Paranoia Agent. It's pretty nuts.

did I mention that was one of the favorites off of Aaron Funk's youtube channel

I dunno if I'd consider his stuff bizarre enough for this topic but he did like one slow song ever and it still creeps me out


Edit: Btw that space spy game looks pretty great. Really it doesn't seem far off from early prerendered games I've seen... I could almost imagine somebody making the whole thing up and just using that early prerendered PC game aesthetic

ahaha


was everything for 3DO awesome or what

Just watched that Quite Soulless video, now I really really want to play it.

There's an old PC game that I have yet to find a copy or download of anywhere called Bad Mojo.  It's a point and click game that's very loosely based (I guess INSPIRED is more accurate) on the Metamorphosis (just remembered that Kafka has already come up in this topic!).  So yes, you're playing as a cockroach.  It seems like it would be pretty fun too.


edit: woah nm apparently they've rereleased it and you can download it here!

except $20 is incredibly steep but maybe this at least means there'll be a torrent now
also apparently it's been rereleased for quite a while now so idk why i couldn't find a torrent in the past w/e i found one now

It's directed by Satoshi Kon, who also does some other strange works that you might be interested in. Paprika and maybe Perfect Blue (haven't seen it, but heard it's good). Actually, certain TvTropes might help you out in your search. I say "might" because you never know what you might find with TvTropes.

Also maybe not nearly bizarre enough for this topic, but I Heart Huckabees was pretty what-the-fuck at some moments.

the cremaster cycle, el topo, the holy mountain

the cremaster cycle will barely make any sense at all, especially if you're not american. the other two have some cool imagery and are generally bizarre
I watched El Topo with some friends today. Was it about christianity and his childhood?!
I really had trouble getting what it was about >_>

I've only watched the first part of Cremaster and got convinced that artsie movies about
oppressed sexuality suck (at least that's what I thought it was about).


Most french movies I've seen are pretty bizzare, but really good at the same time (Delicatessen, La Moustache, Children of the Lost City, to name a few).¨

Oh and Naked Lunch. Watch it!
