Looking for some rather obscure, weird or older anime to watch. I've just seen a lot of the more popular stuff but still haven't sunken that deep.

My favorites:
EoE, Utena, Angel's Egg, Kaiba, FLCL, Lain, Casshern Sins, Mushishi, Ergo Proxy, Belladonna, Tatami Galaxy and Stand Alone Complex

Things/tropes I like in general: psychological drama, sexy girls, surrealism/weirdness, unique art styles, cyberpunk, lone wandering drifters and sexy girls.

Watched both of them, in fact I'm watching Sailor Moon bit by bit with a friend as well, to see some of his early work.

Also, basically from the works I mentioned I have seen everything by Anno, Oshii, Ueda, Tsurumaki, Yuasa and Yamamoto, so I don't need recommendations for any of their directorial works or production in the case of Ueda.

Haven't seen Genocyber, Kaze no na wa amnesia, kyuutetsu hime miyu, hack sign, un go and urashiman. How are those similar to the shows from my list, if you mind summarizing?

but out of those I would recommend Black Jack the most, and then Lily Cat. Please save my earth is great to, but has a "read the manga" ending so if that bothers you I'd just skip it

Just downloaded it from bakact and watched the first ep, but I'm wondering. The download has 10 eps, but MAL says the OVA has 12 eps. You know where the difference comes from?

MALs database is shit basically. The first 10 episodes were released in 1993 and was considered the original run.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=525

The final 2 OVAs were released in 2011 after the director died under the title "Black Jack Final." They're in the same cannon, but really should be categorized separately. Honestly they're pretty meh in comparisons. I would only watch them for completions sake

All of them are worth checking out for being based on Kenji Mayazawa's work, you have to decide for yourself if they are actually good. I liked the semi-biographic movie by Shoji Kawamori (read up on his life before watching) and the short Yodaka no Hoshi, based on one of his most famous stories.

You may also be interested in Yoji Kuri's work.

It can be hella problematic at times, the moral messages will trigger anyone, be it /pol/ or Tumblr. You WILL get triggered. But if you can stand a few episodes of the show forcing lessons against everything you support down your throat, you will get a pretty interesting anime, and with great production quality.
You can give it a try.

I also don't get triggered by stuff like this at all. I find the whole anti-tumblr/feminist/leftist fashionn amusing. To me it's important if the message is presented through an interesting narrative.

You can watch it, then.

A little bit spoilers, some of the messages are:
-the meat industry is bad
-modern farming is bad
-starving children in Africa
-abortion is bad
-pollution is bad
-modern medicine is bad (with hints of anti vaccination)
-gender is determined by the chromosomes
-GMO is bad

I loved the first episodes, I am not one of those people who get triggered by the idea that eating meat or fighting pollution is bad, and it was really well made, but eventually the lessons became too problematic for me to properly enjoy it, but I ended up liking the last episodes too, and overall an enjoyable anime if you can deal with the messages
