The oblongs, ripping friends, Ren n Stimpy, I r baboon were some of the best. Drawn together was a gem too that came out when i was a teen
The Point!
From Wikipedia: The Point! is a fable that tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses [each] came to [a] point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's [still] a point to it.'"[4]
I’m pretty sure this is why I do drugs today.
“The great mouse detective” had a fight scene at the end that freaked me out as a kid.
I was 12 and just getting into Anime, fresh off seeing Akira and Ninja scroll and hungry for more, I was not ready for Wicked City.
Mid-90s, I used to stay up all night long on Fridays, watching weird cable access shows and infomercials. There was a Highlander: The Animated Series cartoon that came on around 4AM. No one ever believed me when I tried to describe it.
Grave of fireflies
Bible Black.
that's just porn
cartoon porn is still a cartoon.
can't argue with that.
Danger Mouse - I think the consistent 4th wall breaking, kidnapping narrators, and sense of humour as a whole had an effect on my from a formative age.
Monkey Dust - the cartoon that made it clear to me that cartoons weren't not at all nesseccarily safe for kids. I was too young to appreciate it at the time, it was too disturbing for tween me.
Sealab 2021 and Excel Saga both crazy animations that I found easier to digest about that time, too.
Watership Down, other folks have already mentioned.
I think for me it was Robot Chicken that would play late at night
I have no idea when I first saw it but I loved it right away! I definitely loved it when Family guy would do anything claymation or with action figures like Dwayne Johnson showing Peter and Lois "having sex"
Invader Zim
Gantz, Watership Down, Animal Farm, Super Jail, and Urslua looks like my father's mother, whom I hated, so I freaked the fuck out when my mom brought that VHS he.

Well there's many mentions so I'll add one I have yet to see listed, The Adventures of Mark Twain is always an unsettling classic.
If we're counting highschool as still a kid, the old Chinese cartoon Calabash Brothers. Still looking for ENG subs for the newer version that released in the 2010s, though.
It's a cartoon where a snake and scorpion demon escape from a mountain and an elderly man has to grow a magic calabash seed that turns into 7 different calabashes that turn into little dieties when ripe in order to stop the demons.

It’s a very generational question. Like, many of the cartoons I watched as a kid would definitely be considered crazy today (and racist, misogynistic, murderous, etc.) but at the time were typical.
