I'm an old that's incredibly out of the loop with anime. I got completely burnt out on it about 20 years ago and pretty much abandoned the whole genre. Haven't seen anything new since, and I'm still not particularly keen on getting back into anything that's got the regular cookie cutter anime stylings going on, but I wouldn't be against checking out something that's a bit different, visually unique and a bit more adult / less kiddie than your regular anime fare.

Last show I remember really liking was Oruchuban Ebichu, which I thought was refreshingly different and weird and hilarious; I'd love to find out if anything in a similar vein has come out in the past, I dunno, decade...

Hit up stuff that Masaaki Yuasa has directed. Tatami Galaxy might be a perfect fit for what you're asking for.

You might be interested in Odd Taxi.

A walrus drives a taxi and gets caught up in a conspiracy eventually involving the Yakuza, an idol group, a wannabe social media superstar, and a comedy duo called the Homosapiens.

Very distinct, clever plot, just finished.

Maybe Tatami Galaxy for something a bit older. A college student groundhog days his education in hopes of finding the perfect rosy college experience. Fast paced dialog, unique art style. Masaaki Yuasa's gotten to be something of a name, and with a show like that one, you can see why.

Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt is a similar kind of sex comedy and has a unique artstyle. Detroit Metal City also, maybe? Nerdy guy accidentally gets recruited into a death metal band, lots of jokes about how hosed up their lyrics are, generally weirdness/double act type stuff, that sort of thing.

Osomatsu requires quite a bit of meta-knowledge to be funny. Especially the opening bits regarding the show's predecessor.

Fruits Basket touches on a lot of trauma and abuse and how people can try their best at overcoming them (whether from within or from the outside as a helping hand).

I've been doing manga exclusively in Japanese to practice and my reading level is... bad. I'll keep those in mind for later though.

Nana is v. good. But skip the last episode and just read the manga from where the previous episode leaves off.

Tachiyomi can search multiple different reader sites simultaneously, and the reader interface itself is great.
