A great story habit. 22. Freezing. 2065, Earth is in the middle of a war with extra-dimensional aliens called Nova. The military develops and trains Pandoras, girls who are able to use special genetic tissue called Stigmata to manifest superhuman fighting skills and weapons.
Highschool Of The Dead. Highschool of the Dead is set in present-day Japan, beginning as the world is struck by a deadly pandemic that turns humans into zombies, euphemistically referred to by the main characters as "Them.".
During the story, they are interrupted by a mysterious male figure. The person turns out to be Shibuya Kazuya, a 17-year-old who is president of the Shibuya Psychic Research Company. He was called by the principal to investigate the stories surrounding the abandoned school building.
The story follows Satoru Fujinuma, a young man living in Chiba who somehow possesses an ability known as "Revival", which sends him back in time moments before a life-threatening incident, enabling him to prevent it from happening again. When his mother is murdered by an unknown assailant in his own home, Satoru's ability suddenly sends him back eighteen years into the past.
Highschool is often accused of having surface-level characters, but they aren’t that shallow. While it takes some getting used to, each character is unique in their own right and isn’t completely one dimensional. Talk about one of the best soundtracks for an anime.
12 Killua Zoldyck – Hunter X Hunter. Killua was born into a family of assassins, which means his childhood was anything but ordinary. At the age of three, his parents put him in dangerous situations ranging from various forms of torture to seeing if he can dodge lethal attacks.
His father then orders him to be abandoned. Hyakkimaru is later saved and raised by the doctor Jukai, who gives him artificial prosthetics to help him thrive. Forced to suffer for the sake of another man’s ambition, Hyakkimaru is cursed with a fate worse than death.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure follows the story of several generations of the Joestar family, all of which have special abilities and powers, who travel the world to fight villains who have gained spooky vampire-like powers from a mysterious ancient stone mask. Something about the animation style, freakishly masculine flamboyant characters in their fabulous tight-fitting outfits, and rock star themes make the show both enticing and insane all at the same time. If the gratuitous use of weirdly placed English doesn't make JoJo's Bizarre Adventure silly enough, the fight scenes and constantly changing plot and plot rules make it even weirder.
Mononoke is a spin-off series of Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales (a great series to watch, though it is more spooky than bizarre).
The series is very short (only six episodes) but is able to pack themes of surrealism, politics, capitalism, mecha, coming-of-age, science fiction, sex, and comedy into less than two and a half hours of screen time. The soundtrack is amazing too-- check out The Pillows if you get a chance.
In the year 300X, the world is ruled by a tyrant known as Baldy Bald the 4th. His gang of hair hunting soldiers steal innocent citizens' hair, leaving them bald and their towns in war-torn despair.
Despite the polarizing effect the show had on anime fans, Kill la Kill isn't any less outlandishly eccentric and bizarre. The weirdness is mostly in the show's plot: a vagrant schoolgirl named Ryuko is on a path of revenge to kill her father's murderer.
This science fiction comedy anime series is as weird as it gets. But Space Dandy's weirdness isn't its ultimate desirable trait-- the series' humor is so good that it is able to cross cultural barriers and be genuinely funny to Western audiences that may not be particularly interested in anime.
It is an incredibly well-done and beautiful series worth watching at least once.

They take shelter underneath a truck, and Hana tells the whole truth to Alice: Kotaro had been a long time crush of Hana's. Hana would always give him a Kit Kat bar for Valentine's Day, but Kotaro never reciprocated.

An anime series about talking animals running a restaurant sounds like a pretty ordinary anime premise, but what’s bizarre about this is specifically how normal and mundane it is. It’s like Seinfeld, but with endangered species instead of New Yorkers.
Summary: The year is 2015, and half of the Earth's population is dead, victims of the disaster called Second Impact! Answering a summons from his enigmatic father, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari arrives in the rebuilt city of New Tokyo-3 just as a gigantic creature identified as an "Angel" attacks!
