Maybe Boogiepop Phantom if you are a Lain fan. But be warned, however; it is about as cryptic as it gets if you havnt already read the novel, or so I was told. I rewatched some episodes several times to establish my own interpretation in my tiny little brain
Also, see if you can sit through Texnolyze and tell me what you thought of it. I just remember it being weiiiiird
Never got past the first few eps but willing to continue if its worth it
Interlude OVA was sorta interesting, even as the ending was a bit anti climatic for me. Good watch though, I would recommend it.
Finally, there is Melody of Oblivion with a big YMMV factor. Though it was one of my all time favorites, I can see how others may not be so fond of it. If you could just overlook the cheesiness of the outer space act (I actually thought it was funny) you would be fine I guess. It really is one of those shows that gives you creeps, at least the first act most definitely. Ahhh, that background music! (shudders)
I might have mentioned it earlier... I really liked the mech design of gasaraki, but thats about what the show has in it for me. The plot towards the end was totally meh; you could disagree and correct me all you want, that show really reeked of militarism however they intended to present it. So I was told the underlying main theme was love affair between the protagonist, none of which I found that clearly all throughout
Too bad I am not all that much into "trapped ancient superpower" or "willpower to overcome the odds of the real world" type of stuff.

A quick sum-up of anime I've really liked are as follows: 1. Last Exile 2. Serial Experiments Lain 3. Niea_7 Anime I'm more or less neutral on (kinda liked but was kinda disappointing) 1. Haibane Renmei Anime I wanted to like but were ultimately not so hot on: 1. Gasaraki 2. Blue Submarine #6 Wow, I just realized almost all of these were all released by Pioneer. Wasn't intentional -- guess they're usually behind the stuff I'm interested in... How is Ergo Proxy? Best, -Jason |
