It's a shame it never got a complete adaption. The manga's ending left quite an impression. Easily one of my favorite animes of all time.

Joshiraku and and Kakushigoto are also worth watching if you'd like a less traumatic take on Kouji Kumeta's unique sense of humor.

I have. That's also a good one :)

I use MAL-Sync to help extend the function of MAL, but for episode release tracking nothing beats RSS feeds.

Crunchyroll still provides an episode release feed. I selfhost RSSHub to pull data from other websites.

Take my upvote for such top-tier taste

Mononoke and Lupin The IIIrd (Fujiko Mine series and subsequent films) are the first things that come to mind when I think of anime that visually stand out.

I think Parasyte The Maxim was more effective at conveying that kind of terror and existential dread. The Summer Hikaru Died made me empathize too much with the eldritch horror.

This anime has layers

The first two seasons of Hell Girl are excellent.

It's an episodic series about people contracting a supernatural force to get revenge. Lots and lots of tragedy ensues.

It's easier to type than posting a picture of an update button, though.

sudo apt update && apt upgrade

Higurashi When They Cry is the first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of summer heat, nights and screaming cicadas
