I read a manga called "God's child".
just two hours ago.
I'm still going "wtf" in my brain.
...
shivers.

If all you're looking for is degenerate madness put to animation, there's more than a few good recommendations. Just off the top of my head:

Cat Soup
Dead Leaves
Puni Puni Poemi

And while I have never seen it myself so I can't guarantee it's quality and can only take the word the reviews I've read about it:

Melody of Oblivion

Puni Puni Poemi

Ohh gawd I hate this one soo much. This is ignoring the implied rape of a small child (and implied sex between two children).

Though if you want to understand most of the jokes you actually have to watch the entire Pretty Cure series.

Puni Puni Poemi

Not  a small feat since Pretty Cure is made up of about five separate continuities. Though I wouldn't say it's necessary, since the entire thing is basically a parody/troll of every magical girl trope ever.

I actually just learned from the wiki page that Puni is banned from New Zealand and Australia for the reasons you mentioned.

Though I can only imagine director Shinichi Watanabe laughing in the distance as they make that decision.

Serial Experiments Lain is pretty good at making no sense.  Same for Ergo Proxy.  Kara no Kyoukai and Denpa teki na Kanojo work too.  (I'm hesitant to suggest Higurashi but whatever).

Spoiler: Higurashi (click to show/hide)

Higurashi actually makes sense at the end though!  Or at least it should, I can't remember if the anime forgot to explain some things.  I guess I can only watch a wtf series if I have some confidence it'll eventually make sense.

Apparently the Bleach anime is going on hold for two or three years. From what I can gather, it sounds like all those fillers they kept spewing out were losing the company a lot of money.

It's sad how much they betrayed the truly brilliant manga.

Possibly especially if you know the implied rape scene.

Those arn't actually the reasons I hate it it is just reasons I can say without getting into an arguement. (Afterall if I just said that it is a load of nonsense that tries to be funny but isn't most of the time, I'd be called out. It feels more like what would happen if someone tried to condense a whole comedy series into a single episode badly. Which is odd given that even Excell Saga managed to condense an entire anime series before into a single episode quite well, and was one of my favorite episodes).

Though I wouldn't say it's necessary, since the entire thing is basically a parody/troll of every magical girl trope ever

Not exactly. It is more of a parody of Magical Girls who are essentially the "Chick"/Girl. The ones who get stuck with purely supportive powers or are just outright useless.

Outside of those it doesn't do a lot to parody magic girls (even if the main character is sort of like Cutey Honey the creator of the magical girl genre). TO ADMIT it could just be because there is too little time to actually properly parody it. I will refrain from examples for spoiler sake.

I almost get the impression it was supposed to be a longer series given its start up (which is such a tease compared that the start could easily be translated to a deep story)

I will admit if it was an outright parody of Magical Girls it would be a bit more interesting. I can just imagine the jokes one can make about uhhhh, that animal one that is really bad... Tokyo Mewmew there we go.

Dang it now I want to watch a Magical Girl Parody... There is just so much that could be done. Oooh or a magical girl anime that puts a whole bunch of different types of magical girls together (Nagima 1000 though is close. It is an anime with EVERY SINGLE TYPE OF ANIME GIRL EVER! though most are unimportant)

Now we're on the same page. One I really liked is Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, which is both a spinoff of Tenchi Muyo and playful jab at Magical Girls everywhere. It also features the best character to never feature in any other Tenchi series, Sasami's Dad. DANDY POWER!

I like Magica Madoka, Toony didn't. Though it isn't as much as a parody, as it is a deconstruction.

If you're willing to go into fan originals, there's Sailor Nothing, which is extremely dark and depressing.

I found out Sengoku Youko had a new chapter released.  Awesome!  Only took 14 months...

I'd watch it.

As I recall, Higurashi did end up making sense at the end of the anime, once you got past all the fake truths.

As best as I can recall, the truth was that it was Miyo and obsession with Hinamizawa Syndrome/screwed up childhood that were the root cause of the events during the time loop. She was trying to prove that it was real to validate the work of the friend of her father who took her in after her parents died. It's been a while, though, so I could be wrong.

This is relevant to my interests.

I don't know, I wouldn't say that Ergo Proxy and Denpa teki na Kanojo made no sense.

Ergo Proxy doesn't fall into place until the end and even then you need to piece together from the conversations what is going on, but you can still figure out what is happening.
And Denpa teki na Kanojo is about insane people, and insane people act (to us) irrationally. The whole point was

the only person who could really understand and manipulate the murderers was Ame, because she is also crazy.

It does by the end, but it throws out a lot of red herrings to keep you guessing. Which is something I liked about it.

Well yeah, that was "rule Y", the thing that caused the same people to die each time on Watanagashi and everyone to die at the end, but there was lots of other weird stuff going on.  The series did rely really heavily on coincidences (for the "red herrings" or to help drive characters insane) but the coincidences went together so beautifully that I can forgive it.
