5 Weirdest Anime That Will Make You Think “What Am I Even Watching?”

5 Weirdest Anime That Will Make You Think “What Am I Even Watching?”

This is just part of their charm, though.

Weird doesn’t always equal bad. On the contrary, there were many times when we found ourselves thinking “Okay, this is weird, and I have no idea what’s going on here, but man, do I love it!” And these anime will make you feel the same way (probably).

  1. Undead Unluck

If you haven’t asked “Wait, what?” at least a couple of times while watching Undead Unluck, then we have only one explanation for that: you’ve already read the manga, so it can’t surprise you anymore.

But if you're anime-only, we’re sure there are times when you don’t even understand what’s happening on your screen. A dude that shoots his finger as if they were bullets? A weirdly sexualized guy that keeps speaking Chinese? A Russian girl that lives inside of a robot-like armor? Undead Unluck has all of that, and it’s beautiful.

  1. Arakawa Under the Bridge

Kou comes from a very wealthy family, so being hopeless or struggling is not really his thing. However, everything changes when he has to be saved by a weird girl living under the bridge.

Kou doesn’t like being in debt, so he offers something in return for saving his life. If you’re thinking about money or something expensive, it means you’ve forgotten the topic of our conversation, because the girl asks him to become her boyfriend and “move in” with her under the bridge.

  1. Odd Taxi

This anime has the word “odd” in its title. What did you expect? Just take a quick look at the poster, and you will understand everything: the characters in this series are, well, animals!

Hiroshi’s parents abandoned him when he was very young, which led to him being quite asocial. But his job as a taxi driver will try to change that because it implies that he’ll be meeting a number of unique individuals. What does it have to do with a murder mystery? You’ll have to watch Odd Taxi to find out.

  1. Wonder Egg Priority

Uhh, what egg? How can it be a priority? The title itself is already confusing enough. But the story tries to follow suit and be just as puzzling.

Suicide, mystery, monsters, phycological thriller, wonder eggs — this anime has everything an odd series is supposed to have. But be careful, though, fans say that the ending of Wonder Egg Priority left them frustrated and disappointed to no end, so only watch if you’re ready for something like that.

  1. Sarazanmai

Just try to watch a trailer or preview for the series, and you’ll understand why fans call this anime weird.

Kapa are zombies that plague the world, and are the creations of the Otters and manifestations of people's deepest desires. Three main protagonists are given the ability to turn into kappa, too, and this is where the fun starts.

Fans say they have never seen anything so weird, and yet managed to unironically enjoy the anime, so it’s definitely worth your time if you’re craving something odd.
