Ergo Proxy and Vampire Hunter D my all time favorite animes.

I've always wanted a in-depth analysis of the 'Mardock Scramble' series.

I really want a remaster, but maybe I understand gate keeping. This is a grest anime.

Man great video, good to see people talking about this show. This anime has on of if not the best soundtracks in anime.

The audio books helps. It got me through the Slog by letting me listen to it while I work.

I laughed at the “collecting Beanie Babies.”

Man bro...trim your low frequency... it's unbearable...

This anime is the reason wolves are my favorite animals of all time. Its also the anime that got me into anime.

Once I got into the second half of the book I could not stop thinking that Cassius would die. Ended up pulling an all-nighter finishing the last quarter of the book in tears. Thought that Hangar 17B would be a stupid place to die in. Literally refused to read on knowing there is no way to take it back. Cried non stop. For 3 hours. Considered writing a revenge horror-fic where a dead character comes back to haunt the author. Went through the 5 stages of grief. Good review. Recommend the audiobooks.

perfect blue was the first one for me, i watched ts when i was liek 13

I don't know if I just want Mind Fuck stories, but I love surrealism as well. Paprika has tons of that of course. I also like Gleipnir or Dorohedoro for the insane world building.

Watch the Devilman series specially Devilman-Crybaby and Devilman-appoclypse

flcl changed me

Finally re-watching this after years and years. Also making my partner watch it with me for the first time, I hope they will forgive me once we finish the last few episodes lmao.

Please keep it up

I understand what you mean but it will path by when your needs will be like "I wanna some stupid school romance". Ergo Proxy alike shows are not in demand because it is not the time for such shows. The most beautiful and enjoying animes in ten years Made in Abyss, Girls last travel (idk if you call it like this in your language) and Sonnyboy.

Great review that reflects exactly how I felt about this book. Subscribed! ^^

Never cried so hard in my life watching Toboe go. Literally brings me to tears just thinking about it now. I watched this show back in the summer of 2004. Think about it at least once a month. Maybe more. Yutaka Nakamura also was an illustrator for this show. ❤

There was a time in the early 2010s, when I was branching out, that I saw Ergo Proxy and Texnolyze, (I had already seen NGE because of how well known it is). Later on I watched Lain, Perfect Blue and Angel's Egg. I never fell into the trap you mentioned, despite watching all those titles. My best guess would be that I was rather lukewarm on Ergo Proxy, despite Dai Sato having written scripts for a lot of shows that I like (Bebop, Stand Alone Complex and Wolf's Rain), even when i re-watched it years later, so I wasn't craving anything else like it. If you want a recommendation for something that's quite out there, try out some Studio 4°C titles from the 90s and 00s.

This video is hilarious 😅

I want Sevro to be the one to cut down Lysander. He is genuinely terrified of the goblin.

Love the recommendations. Some more mindfucks for your indulgence: You didn't mention "Ghost in the Shell", and that's chock-full of mindfuckery, in almost every iteration. "Belladonna of Sadness" Did you know that in the 70s, after being inspired by the Beatles' Yellow Submarine, studio Ghibli made a psychedelic hyper-sexual feminist fairy tale set in medieval france? Did I mention the talking penis devil, or the orgasmically beautiful watercolor art style? Or the fact that half the movie is made of still images? Check it out, trigger warning for sexual assault. "Land of the Lustrous" An anime about androgynous gem people coming to terms with identity and existence. And being hunted by moon people who appear out of psychedelic kaleidoscopes in the sky. "Mind Game" Masaaki Yuasa's breakout movie that is a huge mashup of animation styles, creativity, experimentation, and a little bit of pinocchio in there too. Speaking of Yuasa, "Kaiba" is an insane science-fiction show that mashes an art style similar to Osamu Tezuka with adult themes and absolutely wild bio-mechanical tech. Actually just watch anything by yuasa, you'll enjoy the mindfucks all around. Even MORE: "Flowers of evil"- Mindfuck slice of life, enjoy the insanity. "Shinsekai Yori" A post-apocalypse where you can't tell who's lying or telling the truth. "Haibane Renmei" do you want your mindfucks heartwarming and covered with angel wings? "sonny boy" It's like Lost, but it's a high school class that can hop through dimensions. "Stein's Gate" Do you like time travel? Time travel like you do? "Neo Ranga" often forgotten story about half-naked shrine maidens in body paint trying to fight off evil spirits bent on taking over the world? Doesn't sound weird enough? It is. "Revolutionary Girl Utena" Classic feminist lesbian space epic that is way stranger and thought provoking than you would think at first glance "Trapeze, welcome to Irabu's Office" Psychological sessions in a hyper-colored hallucinogenic office, where 11 patients are talking to a bear... but is it? "The Animatrix" A collection of short anime films done in the matrix universe. Some of them get REAL weird. There are so many, hopefully you've already explored most of these, but hey, why not give you an outlet for your addiction?

Just watched this. Love it. Monster, Psycho Pass,Berserk, Claymore, Parasite, Death Parade are some, if you haven’t already checked out^^

I don't really think it was a war.. it was more of a genocide

Happy 20th anniversary Wolf Rain

Merphy started it with One Piece. Daniel started also reading One Piece. Then Daniel also started Berserk

Cool video, but don't explain what this is the game tha broke me emotionally.

I’m currently going thru this 😂 but i’ll also add Welcome to the NHK although it’s not as grim and ominous as the others Definitely start that chasing the mindfuck series tho bc we need more recs 💯

I'm one of the hardcore yyh fans. Thank you for this. I'll watch to have a good laugh to how bad it is. But F Netflix for this...

"He has a funny accent" That would be Welsh lol

20th Century boys is a masterpiece bro. I recommend you to continue the series, I know it’s kinda weird and I know it has a slow pace in the beginning but you will not regret it bro. Good luck. Ando also very good video I liked your ranking

Sorry, this comment is a bit late, but usually when people like Mat, it's from Book 3 onwards. I'm surprised you stated liking him here. I thought if you didn't like him by book 5 you were never going to. 😂

Your videos are beautiful, I hope you continue. Your follower from Algeria🥰🥰

Watched this as a child and fell in love. Went back and watched it recently at 23 years old (worried that I wouldn’t like it now) and I loved it even more. Maybe there’s sentimentality behind my opinion of it, but to me, it’s the best anime I’ve ever seen. The 4 recap episodes are crap to have in the show, but doesn’t hinder the show for me (can always just skim them anyway). Good review. More people need to hear about this one!

you perfectly described my taste in anime and media in general, didn’t know there was a term for it. great video

I got about halfway through the game and decided I didn’t really like it, this (hilarious) video helped me get closure. Thanks!

I think it truly started with merphy and her dive into one piece 2 years ago actually, as this was partly why daniel started one piece and eventually berserk as well

People calling Lysander a pixie is so funny to me because Lysander is probably the closest we'll ever get to a conquering era gold in terms of ideology and behaviour He considers himself a philosopher king, a benevolent shepherd of humanity, but he's also a ruthless machivellian who will sacrifice everything for power. He's Silenius come again, a predator to the core and he's such a fun character to read, best part of the book imo.

I get your idea here, but for me it is more fun than stress. just recently I watched the eva rebuild movies and ergo proxy and there´s a lot of stuff to unpack. but i can still enjoy my onepunchman and jjk which are more of a classic a to z adventure

Still my number #1 anime of all time ALL TIME

I started my journey through psycho pass and i repeated sooo many timessssss it was and still one of my fav top 5 anime .. knew that ergo proxy has the same studio? Director? Then the system controlling the people line and i finished ittt🤍🤍 ihave the same feeling as u maybe not findin another like-anime as it maybe bcs of the setting of the world its awesome anyway... i have a list of these type of anime im so excited to watch them ... added more of your 's and the people in the comments's suggestions

Underrated classic.

This is such a fun video! Thanks for letting me know you made it. And I would bet my life that the only thing that won’t complete this series would be his untimely death.

nonsensical

I adore this anime so much. 2nd favorite second only to the Monogatari series. It's my favorite single season of a show though. It's just absurdly beautiful in so many ways. (Also pretty aure i see Kings of the Wyld and Sanderson books in the background, good taste my guy)

Sonny boy is another example of this, Not exactly a 'mindfuck' anime, but one that is recent, overlooked and gives the same feeling after you watch it, i didnt understood that much of the show on first viewing, but it quickly became one of my favs as i looked more into it, some broad themes are centered around problems of teenage, love, loss, finding yourself etc while each episode provide an abstract(Very Abstract) and metaphorical look on these themes with just the right amount of feels, great animation, beautiful soundtrack and an ending i will never forget.. everyone who likes these kind of shows should watch it

Yesterday finished watching. Very artfull, visualy and audiou astonishingly, with strong influence of space odyssey and quantum physics, and addfitionaly christinanity, Buddhims, nihilism, absurdism; and with respect to them all of them Can't say that I would putted in my list of the best shows of I've ever seen, neverthless, I want to rewatch it.

this is is so sick <3 love the concept i found this video on reddit (good for promo i use it too)

Cassius should have lived to fight that last battle so him and Darrow and Servo could be the victors and rejoiced in it. But now Darrow will be alone essentially to fight and hopefully win at the end. I love to read the many twists and turns but would like to see more winning out of the good guys. And to live!!!🤔😄
