Check the sig. Amazing plot, and truly unique characters. Fair warning, do not, under any circumstances, look up the 4-Kids dub. It shall feel like God smashed your head open with a Brick. I've seen a couple of episodes. It's godawful. That said, I don't like even good, well-translated One Piece. It's not awful, it's just not my thing.

Too strange in some aspects? A common complaint.

Just never got it. Watched the original with subs and by episode 7 I couldn't take more of it. Dunno why, since it has a lot of things I actually like in anime. I can say the same thing about Togen Toppa Gurren Lagann (sp?) though.

I think my biggest issue with One Piece is, despite being somewhat different, still kinda sticks to a lot of Shonen Jump manga tropes. Just...it doesn't feel as different as it should.

Well it kinda takes awhile for One Piece to get good. Most fans say the great stuff begins on Episode 31, which begins the Arlong arc. But to me I really got into the series by episode 11, which was like well into the Kuro arc.

The only anime I've liked in the past 10 years aside from Paranoia Agent:
About as weird as FLCL and as raunchy as...I don't know. Something really raunchy. I've shown this to non-anime fans and they thought it was hilarious.
There's a guy with a drill for a dick in this movie. Watch it.

If you want weird, Kemonozume should be good. It gets more bizarre by the end, and you'll probably think that you've eaten some weird food.

What, "Ro, ro fight da powa!!!" didn't do it for you? ;D That phrase practically became a real-life meme in my college anime club. That and singing altogether the ending theme to Monster, which we always thought would make an awesome pub song.

Ultimate Muscle/Kinnikuman - It's animated wrestling with some great characters.
