So, OP wants weird anime. “Anime” anime.
- Odd Taxi
- Ping Pong Club
- Excel Saga
- FLCL
- Gantz
- Otaku No Video
- Way of the Househusband
- Golden Boy
- Colorful (of note, the English dub is heavily adapted to the point where it can’t really be considered accurate. But it is faithful. The format helps. This approach doesn’t often work, but it does here.)
- Cromartie High School
- Paranoia Agent
- Nerima Daikon Brothers
- Puni Puni Poemy
- Great Teacher Onizuka
- Gundam-San
- Oruchuban Ebichu
Depending on which flavor of weird one is going for, not all of these are going to scratch that itch.

I don’t consider this weird at all. The “weirdest” thing about this is just the artstyle. Otherwise its basically a Film Noir / Detective like story except the Taxi Driver is the detective-protagonist who saw the crime (and has a perfect memory of his customer’s faces). So as you go around the cast of characters and see where they want to go + their small talk with the Taxi Driver, you end up figuring out the mystery with the protagonist.
