TOP 10 WEIRDEST JAPANESE ANIMATED MOVIES
Something that is bizarre [/bɪˈzɑː/] or weird is ‘‘very strange or unusual’’. Hence some of these Japanese animated movies are dark and possess a surreal and dreamlike facet. Absurdity is a recurring theme here, and in it, psychological thriller pieces and visually stunning twisted and derailed animation can be found in the majority. Let’s hope this list takes you down the rabbit hole of mind-bending movies that whisk together the edges of fiction and reality.
