I have to agree with that. I don't know why I watched it in the first place, but I did, and I'm glad. I liked the episode about the business man, where the art style is completely different from the rest of the series.
Since this topic has been revived, I've got a few to recommend.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: A magical girl anime, with a major twist. Unlike most magical girl anime, this one is very dark and serious in nature, while the art style is cute to the point of being off-putting, it creates a nice contrast to the dark and depressing atmosphere of the series. Oh, and that ending was probably one of the best I've seen.
Welcome to the NHK: About a college dropout named Satou who has no job, no friends and never leaves his apartment. He is convinced everything is a conspiracy {It is JG the anime, I know}. Due to some unusual circumstances, he ends up going to tell his neighbor to turn his music down, and finds that it is his old friend, who has become an extreme otaku. They end up making a dating sim to convince a girl that Satou is not as pathetic as he seems. It gets really complicated.
Detroit Metal City: about a young man who's dream is to be a pop singer, but he ends up the frontman of a loud and obnoxious death metal band that sings songs about raping and killing. The band is called Detroit Metal City, this band is the one thing he hates the most in the world. It focuses on his attempted separation of himself and the persona of the frontman of this band.
Cromartie High School: about an average student who ends up in a school for delinquents. He attempts to fit in, but he soon finds that the students of the school are beyond strange. A robot, a gorilla, and a silent man who resembles Freddie Mercury are amongst the students.
Ouran High School Host Club: about a female student who has to pretend to be male to pay off a massive debt from a broken vase. Well, it isn't that simple, she has to join a "host club" where males sell dates with themselves.
Akagi: about a Mahjong prodigy playing high-stakes games of mahjong. Betting everything from his fingers to all of the blood in his body. Definitely recommended for people who enjoyed more psychological drama like Death Note, except this makes Death Note look tame.
Kaiji: about a guy who ends up in debt because he cosigned a loan for a coworker. To pay off his debt, the yakuza allow him to gamble on a ship, where all outside debts are cancelled for those who come out ahead. This lands him in more debt, so he ends up participating in other high-stakes gambles, risking everything. Unlike Akagi, Kaiji sometimes loses, making him a bit easier to relate to as a character.
I have so many I could recommend, but for the time being, this will have to suffice. I might post more later.
