jojos part 4 on top best to ever do it. and on god part 5 is overrated ash

Happy new years to you too!

You're welcome~

lol, I didn't watch Paprika, but I watched couple other of Satoshi Kon's works. Paranoia Agent was really good.

I didn't know it's possible to suck at watching anime lol. Just watch what you find fun. It's not different from movies.

Korean and Chinese anime are still very lacking compared to the giant that is the Japanese animation industry. But once in a while, they come up with something really good like Link Click. There's a lot of potential in the Chinese animation industry, but I don't know much about the Korean one. It's really small because Korea is popular for their dramas instead of anime and dramas is where they earn a lot of money.

The biggest struggle for an anime fan is deciding what to watch XD. GL with that cause it will never end lol.

real pfp you got there

If you're interested in Avant-Garde type animes, here are some of my recommendations:

Tenshi no Tamago is one of my absolute fave animes. Its world is very lonely and there are only two characters who have no names. But it's haunting appeal was oddly comforting to me, and the story can be interpreted in many different ways. (I wrote an essay about it in high school lol)

Cocolors is also a movie. Without spoiling too much, it's about people who live in a world that lacks color.

Fantascope Tylostoma is less of an anime and more of a picture drama. It's illustrated and narrated by Yoshitaka Amano (who did the character designs for Tenshi no Tamago), and it's pretty out there in terms of its delivery. I was bored one day and just randomly decided to watch it, and I was surprised I sat through the whole thing lol. This one has some sexual content tho but it's not for the whole duration, and u can easily skip it or mute ur headphones (cause it's more about the audio than the visuals in this case).

Inaka Isha is another avant-garde anime I saw. It's based on one of Franz Kafka's novels. So if ur familiar with his work, you know what kind of vibe to expect. The visuals are so weird but in a good way lmao.

Kujira no Chouyaku is a short anime about a glass ocean and a whale that jumps through. It's hard to describe but it was enjoyable to me.

Mononoke is the first proper anime on this list, and I highly recommend it. It's supposed to be horror but not really in the scary sense. It was just made in a way that some people might find unsettling. The visuals are 10/10 with this one and the stories are really great.

Tsumiki no Ie is a story about life. It's one of the more famous avant-garde animes. However, it's the creator's other work, Aru Tabibito no Nikki that I love more. Both have the same visual style tho so if u liked one, you're bound to enjoy the other.

Totsukuni no Shoujo is based on a rather popular manga. There's another newer adaptation of this (that I didn't see), but what I think makes this one avant-garde is the fact that there's no dialogue. It takes "show don't tell" on a literal level.

These aren't all the avant-garde animes I saw, but I didn't want to overwhelm u with recommendations cause I feel like I already said a lot lol!

There's a lot more avant-garde animes our there that I didn't see like: Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space, Nekojirou-sou, Night on the Galactic Railroad, Mind Game, Genius Party, etc. Those were some of the more famous ones.

But honestly avant-garde animes are kind of a rabbit hole cause there's so many of them but no one knows about them. That's mostly because many of them are made by Japanese university art students trying to make experimental shorts as their projects. Some of them aren't even anime at that point lol.

Masaki Yuasa is one of the directors that comes to mind if we're thinking avant-garde. He made it into the mainstream with Devilman Crybaby, but if u take a look at his other works such as Kaiba, Ping Pong the Animation, and Kemonozume, the true extent of his experimentalism can be seen.

As for my opinion on Link Click, it's a really great anime that competes well with Japanese animes. The characters are fun, the art is pretty, and the story is really good! Season 1 leaves u on a cliffhanger that made me bite my pillow in anticipation for season 2 (which is gonna be released in the coming months I believe?). So, yeah give it a try!

I know this is a long message lol, but I didn't know how to make it shorter than that! hope u enjoyed reading it~

I see u put Kanashimi no Belladona on ur PTW. This anime is cool with it's avant-garde art, but just a heads up tho, this anime is also very graphic and very sexually explicit. I'm pretty thick skinned with this kind of content, but I did find myself looking away from the screen a lot with this one. (＃＞＜)
