Aside from age-inappropriate or socially-controversial tags, I wouldn't recommend otaku culture and others that require prior knowledge to get the jokes or the story.

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere.

Good luck having anyone you show it to to understand what the hell is happening. I don’t know what’s happening, but it constantly dumps more lore and literary references to Japanese and western history & folklore. It’s also very dialogue heavy. And the women are all drawn in a very specific way.

I watched two seasons hoping at some point I’d understand what the hell was going on, but I just got more confused. It apparently makes sense as a light novel? But the anime squeezed way too much into each episode.
