Heybot is probably the weirdest anime you can find and that's exactly why it's so awesome. I made a review and a video about it.

This anime is like Heybot from the 80s. It's insane how similar they are in humour and pacing

2000s cgi mixed with crude humour makes for a surreal and bizarre experience. Popee is definitely a must watch if you like weird things. I wrote a review about this one if you're interested.

much like popee this is fully cgi and has horror elements, but unlike popee a lot of the horror comes from the mystery rather than crude gags/gore

people really like to call this an elitist anime lmfao. but if you're not someone who takes an issue with that, this is a really heartwarming film with some amazing animated sequences.

wacky goofy gag anime. has episodes made by Junichi Satou and Ikuhara. yes, this is one of the first anime they worked on together, and you can see how some of this influences the pacing and humour in Sailor Moon. there are even direct references to Kingyo Chuuihou in Sailor moon. Must watch for shoujo fans

Shichinin no Nana makes mundane school life the weirdest experience ever for the MC and I love that.
