Cat Soup is an extremely abstract, abnormal, and at times, disturbing adventure, from the director of Nadesico. This 30 minute OVA follows two kittens through what seems to be the underworld, as they search for one of their lost souls. Along the way, they encounter new (edible) friends, scary situations, and even the end of the world! Will these felines manage to return unscathed? Or more importantly, avoid becoming the main course for dinner? Confusion abounds in this quirky OVA.
No matter how ridiculous this recommendation may seem to be I could not find any show that was more similar to Cat Soup. Both of these animes are filled with blood and unjustified violence. Despite that, it is possible to consider them as a parable of the human nature and find a deeper meaning in both.

Elfen Lied as well as Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni are both very violent series. For a small pause from the bloodshed and murders, Higurashi special and Elfen Lied OVA offer a little more relaxed depiction of events. The cheery chores and games among good friends are highlighted, although the dark athmosphere is still hovering in the background...
