the list of late 1990s-2000s dark experimental&philosophical shows
Anime
after the genesis of serial experiments lain, written by chiaki konaka, i've noticed a pattern in things being influenced by lain in some aspect. this the list of what it says on the tin. tags also include this is very confusing and things written by this man. outliers of the time period still carry the spirit. i do this by feel. i will not include Evangelion.
qualifiers:
it has to be dark, experimental, have some philosophy and confuse the frick out of people as pretentious people mocked for 'understanding' it. and with the philosophy: i don't mean the shallow anecdotal stuff. I mean sources of inspiration such as kierkegarde, schaupenhueur, religion, existentialism, future technological implications, absurdism and nihilism.
