Pretty much everything made by Shaft/Akiyuki Shinbou (chief director for every good Shaft anime) is worth watching because of that, while his aesthetic peaks in the 90s with Shin Hurricane Polymar (cancelled after two episodes with no real ending), and in the 2000s with The Soultaker (which has a story generally considered to be really bad, but that has a lot of interesting aspects if you pay enough attention. It's also one of the first anime to feature Takemoto Yasuhiro as a director, who then directs the first 2.5 episodes of the spin-off at Kyoto Animation, and later directs Hyouka, Haruhi's Disappearance).
Nanoha, Cossette, Tsukuyomi, Negima, Katte ni Kaizou, Magia Record are all also "bad", but worth watching.
Requiem from the Darkness looks and feels like an Akiyuki Shinbou anime, even though the character designer is the only who had worked with him. It's an episodic horror show with really bad episodes are really good episodes, usually completely overlooked, but a really interesting experience.
Blood-C is another horror anime from the director of Another and xxxHolic, except half of the show is some very generic slice-of-life, while the other half is a lot of gore, plot-twists and connections to CLAMP manga. It's way more of a CLAMP anime than a Blood spin-off, and very fun at times.
There's also Babylon, which people really seem to hate because the quality drops after the first 3, and then the first 7 episodes, but that is a very well written and well directed mystery show, which has a lot of the same appeal as Zaregoto (though with way more flaws).
(Also I think I found your profile on your Mekakucity Actors review, well written!)
Sorry lol
I was interested with your point of view since I had a really similar view, so I could help but read it all!
no problem, and thank you very much! You too!
