FLCL
Alt titles: Furi Kuri
Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

add recURDA is another recommendation based on the amazing strangeness and difference of style. FLCL also opens a new door in the style aspect. This is a very weird series, but one of my favorites.
Platonic Chain
Platonic Chain consists of short 6 minute episodes completely done with computer graphics. The series explores different facets of human life/interaction through an interesting idea: the presence of a computer program that knows of your most embarassing moments, your likes and dislikes, your ideal diet plan, the routes you take to get places, and more!

add recURDA is another revolution in anime style, as Boogiepop was in its time. It has a few interesting plot twists as well. This anime is short and sweet. If you liked one, give the other a try.

add recEven though these have NOTHING to do with each other, Blood: The Last Vampire has a very distinct revolutionary style, which URDA also has. If you liked that about URDA, you will like Blood. Although URDA seems to be normal, it's all CGI so it takes on a new level of animation. It also has its own distinct style and capabilities.
BLAME!
- OVA (6 eps)
- 2003
BLAME! is a very dark and abstract set of 6 shorts which are based on the manga by Tsutomu Nihei. The "story" (if it can be called that) revolves around a man named Killy: a human living amongst clones and androids. His task, it seems, is to collect things known as "net-genes", and to help find the remaining humans that may or may not exist.
