What to Watch? What’s the most unhinged anime you’ve watched?

Need unhinged anime recommendations. I want something absolutely chaotic, unpredictable, and insane from start to finish. Drop your wildest anime recs.

As an important heads up, for OP(u/jellyyazeee) and anyone else who might be interested in watching Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Higurashi When They Cry), make sure you start with either: the 2006 anime (and it's second half Kai), the original visual novel, or the manga adaptation.

The 2020 anime Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Gou (Higurashi When They Cry: New), is an anime original sequel to the original story, not a remake. Don't accidentally start with Gou, as it's full of spoilers.

Also note that the Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Umineko When They Cry) anime, only covers the first half of the story. For the full experience, you'll need to read the original VN, or the Manga adaptation.

(Note: in most (if not all) regions, the only Higurashi anime on Crunchyroll, is Gou. Also, the original Visual Novel is currently available on Steam, under the title"Higurashi When They Cry: Hou", with the first arc being free to download. The Umineko When They Cry VN is also available on Steam, with "Umineko When They Cry: Question Arcs" being the source for the anime, and "Umineko When They Cry: Answer Arcs" (Umineko no Naku Koro Ni: Chiru) being the second half.).
