Cyber city oedo 808 comes to mind. Dunno how obscure you mean though

>>12369 I've had it on my watchlist forever. I'll check it out. Doesn't have to be extremely obscure, just not the normal user soykaf

>>12376 Seconded. Came for the cybernetic implants, stayed for the crushing loneliness. Oh god that ending, makes me wanna die. Okay other stuff I got: AD Police Files (note it's AD Police FILES, the OVA trilogy, not AD Police the series. The series is ass.) Any of the anthology films produced by Katsuhiro Otomo: Neo Tokyo, Robot Carnival, and Memories Ergo Proxy (again, not sure how obscure this is, but it's incredibly atmospheric IMO) I know you didn't ask for printed media, but check out everything ever made by Tsutomu Nihei. They made a couple CG-laden anime of his work; a series for Knights of Sidonia and a Netflix movie for Blame. There's also some very short old OVA for Blame that are actually animated the old-fashioned way. Oh and have any of y'all heard of this cartoon called Serial Experiments Lain?

>>12377 Will definitely be checking these out thanks
Roger Pollack · 2019-07-31 22:06
>>12378 Whoops, I forgot one. Parasite Dolls is also part of the Bubblegum Crisis universe along with AD Police Files, and that one's pretty good / animated in the gritty old style. I forgot that it was a separate thing.

Key the Metal Idol - 90s curiosity that looks and feels like a shameless ripoff of NGE and Lain... but it came out before either of them. Good music, good art, but the story has a pretty serious case of missed potential. The Silver Case / 25th Ward - Two (technically five) extremely rough Tech Noir stories presented in a very avant-garde style. Lots and lots of characters, vast and borderline incomprehensible conspiracies, a thin line between reality and delusion, all that sprawling postmodern goodness. I/O revision II - Weird ass visual novel about the realness of reality. Full of bizarre mysticism and Jungian psychology. Generally accepted to one of the most complicated stories in visual novels, if not THE most complicated.

Anyone like Aeon Flux around here? The old MTV cartoon, not the newer movie. One of my favorite things to watch stoned.

>>12381 Oh yeah, I love the opening sequence in Key! It's great. Also agree it kind of went wrong in the plot department but hey, what can you do. Haven't seen the other two; I'll check 'em out

Monty Python?

>>12392 Looked it up, that soykaf looks great

Malice@Doll. What happens to the humanity-serving robots of the far distant future, when there are no humans left? What happens to the prostitute-bots when the only intelligent beings, their fellow robots, have absolutely no use for their only skills? And what happens to this robotic society when one of them undergoes a strange transformation that makes her neither robot nor human, and able to infect other robots with a grotesque imperfect variant of her transformation? (It's very early CGI, but I think it kinda words for this, as it gives an uncanny-valley artificiality to the robots.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYN0DFuybe8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_CuRIc_oL0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzSNkCi7k8
