Absurdist manga with seemingly nonsensical things happening and lacking a clear narrative. Lots of weird monsters.

If you liked Cyborg 009: The Reopening add

...then you might like 009 Re:Cyborg add

The Reopening is a sort of pilot for Re:Cyborg, many parts from Oshii's short made it into Kamiyama's movie

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG add

Some of concepts that went into the Individual Eleven plot arc as well as the refugee plot arc are somewhat similar to the later part of the movie

...then you might like Koukaku Kidoutai: SAC_2045 Season 2 add

Both mangas utilize organical-mechanical hybrid creatures to create an extremely weird story

If you liked (OO) add

...then you might like Afternoon Class add

Same vibrant animation style by the same creator

If you liked Urusei Yatsura add

...then you might like Ochamegami Monogatari: Korokoro Pollon add

Absurd comedies from the same era. Hera's relationship with Zeus and usage of lightning reminds of Lum's relationship with Ataru and may have been an inspiration, since Pollon manga is older

If you liked Heike Monogatari add

...then you might like Detarame na Sekai no Melodrama add

Character designs in Detarame na Sekai no Melodrama are likely inspired by the work of Fumiko Takano, so if you like them, check out this MV. Its director also worked on Heike, which had original character designs by Takano.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Detarame na Sekai no Melodrama add

Detarame na Sekai no Melodrama makes plenty of homages to the style of Shichiro Kobayashi in its backgrounds and Kunihiko Ikuhara in its direction and themes. Utena is the most obvious parallel, but there're also notable similarities with Penguindrum and Yurikuma

If you liked California Crisis: Tsuigeki no Juuka add

Both of these anime have stylized 80's city pop style reflected in their approach to shading, among other things

If you liked Tachiguishi Retsuden add

Tachiguishi Retsuden and MiniPato, as well as Mamoru Oshii's Avalon and Patlabor PS Portable game, utilize a similar animation technique developed specifically for these projects

If you liked California Crisis: Tsuigeki no Juuka add

The first ending of Taruruuto-kun uses a certain approach to shading that is very unique and hardly present anywhere else, one of examples being California Crisis

If you liked Shanshui Qing add

...then you might like Crater no Naru Ki add

Both animations are made with ink - a very rare style. One is Chinese ink wash, another Japanese sumi-e.

If you liked Sengoku Majin Goushougun: Toki no Etranger add

...then you might like Uchuu Senshi Baldios (Movie) add

Unfairly forgotten movies that are based on a mecha show but are good as standalone pieces (Baldios being partly a recap, Goshogun a completely original movie) and mostly put the "mecha" part aside (especially in the case of Goshogun)

...then you might like Comfortable and Happy add

Both work detail the life and struggle of a poor manga/manhwa artist, both with their job and with the environment surrounding them

Anime inspired by Jules Verne's stories, featuring Captain Nemo and Nautilus. The special is much shorter and faster paced.
