So there’s this show. It’s called “Don’t Leave Me Alone Daisy”. It’s from Japan. Practically every review is negative – and the first episode can be seen as really sucky. A lot of reviewers who’ve commented upon it have actually dropped out after third episode or so.

Here’s the thing though: I love it.

It get’s better and better after the first episode, and becomes expressly divine towards the end. It has really weird stuff too – pink cuddly cute nuclear missiles, sex robots with embedded lasers and guided missiles, a guy whose grandma is also a behavioral readjustment/assassination cyborg, and a girl who’s not kind of sure what her name is.

The reviews? The reviews are almost all negative, calling it ‘crap’ and ‘shoujo for psychopaths’, and stuff like that.

But really, guys. It’s win.

Go. Purchase. Rent. Torrent. Whatever.

Don’t be repelled by the first one or two episodes – watch the entire thing.

It’s made of God, Win, and pinkcuddlycutesentient nuclear missiles.

Makes me feel psychotic.....

oh no they now teenagers

I much prefer Kyou Kara Maou! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyo_Kara_Maoh!). It's good and could be considered psychotic in some groups.

FLCL comes to mind, yet many people think its a gem.

But, yes, there are a a lot of psychotic anime out there :D

Black Lagoon. It's more coherent than most, but it has crazy people with guns, retarded neo-Nazis, incestuous killer lolis, and a whole bunch of really insane crimebosses. (Case in point: Balalaika, the most sympathetic one of the bunch, edits hardcore porn in her spare time.)

Yes, but DOES IT HAVE PINK SENTIENT NUcLEAR MISSILES? DOES IT? DOES IT I ASK YOU?

No, but it has people being transported to another world via a toilet... and 4 magical forbidden boxes.

And does your anime have Morgiff?

I thought not! It doesn't have the ultimate demon sword that can make kissy faces at hot chicks! :p

Psychosis (not to be confused with psychopathy) is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state in which thought and perception are severely impaired. Persons experiencing a psychotic episode may experience hallucinations, hold delusional beliefs (e.g., grandiose or paranoid delusions), demonstrate personality changes and exhibit disorganized thinking. This is often accompanied by lack of insight into the unusual or bizarre nature of such behaviour, difficulties with social interaction and impairments in carrying out the activities of daily living.

Psychopathy (pronounced /ˈsaɪkoʊˌpæθi/ in General American), not to be confused with psychosis ... is defined in psychiatry as a condition characterised by lack of empathy or conscience, and poor impulse control or manipulative behaviors.

If I want my fill of idiot premises and ridiculous stories, I turn on the Sci-Fi channel when they have a movie marathon.

God, those are some terrible movies.

It's not a gem, it's beyond that.

Berserk comes to mind, but I love the shit out of it.

I dunno, I don't have a problem with homosexuality and even demons are ok, but kings, not really.

I think Evangelion and certainly Elfen Lied (my favorites over all) in parts might qualify, by the way.

Evangelion counts as depressing, slight difference.

heh, same here. Of course, I don't enjoy conventional anime (or any other sort) either.

Hang on, is there a type of anime that isn't for psychopaths?

i just went an got out two DVD of that from the video shop, not bad at all

(Case in point: Balalaika, the most sympathetic one of the bunch, edits hardcore porn in her spare time.)

That doesn't sound crazy, that sounds like a fairly normal job. My only question is, why be a crimelord if you already have a decent job?

Because she was a crimelord FIRST and THEN started editing porn. I don't get it either.


Well, I suppose it's partially illegal porn..

I like anime, but...what the fuck?

Excel Saga, much?
ES is even crazier than FLCL. And it has Nabeshin.

Ahem:
