I also enjoyed Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze and Planetes. Ghost in the Shell is still the only movie I revisit every now and then (out of all movies ever). They are all slow, I want to take the time to watch them again some day. Very different but I also enjoyed Naruto as I grew up myself. It's long (but you can skip all fillers) but sometimes very deep. I enjoyed Kenshin but never finished it. As mentioned below Samurai Champloo is also nice and Steins Gate (nice, strange atmosphere) and Death Note: very psychological: He thinks that I think that he thinks and I'm smarter so... Love that. And One Punch Man, puts a smile on my face. If you want weird: FLCL. What was that about?

Ergo Proxy seems to suffer from translations/subtitles not conveying details/subtext/terminology sufficiently. I think it gets a bit underrated accordingly.

  As one of the many people who was disappointed by the show when I watched it ages ago (despite its amazing aesthetic and visuals), I can totally believe that. In hindsight it's obvious, but after watching things from different subtitlers, I realized what a difference subtitle quality makes. It's especially annoying when you naturally start to pattern match and pick up certain common words (if you've watched a lot of stuff for years) and see a short subtitle that seems like an extreme simplification or ham-fisted watering down of what a character just said. Subtitle timing and duration can also make a difference. It makes you really appreciate good subtitling, at least.

>If you want weird: FLCL. What was that about? Post-EoE Gainax staff letting off some steam (heh). It is unironically Evangelion through a mirror goofy; a coming-of-age story where fraught filial relationships, older women who come on wa~y too strong, and more robots than you would expect c. 2000 figure in heavily. Just assume that anything you don't immediately understand is a metaphor for pubertal dysfunction and you'll be right 90% of the time. Now, if you really want to be confused, pick up Revolutionary Girl Utena.
