Furries. No hate, just not even remotely interested.

And anime.

This would have been my top line comment. I wish anime wasn’t such a glaring blind spot for me, because it’s something so many people connect on. But I see it like reality TV. There’s 1000 shows with 1000 episodes each, and some shows are probably great, but I’ve never been interested.

FLCL has like 6 episodes and is a good entry point

That is like pushing someone into the deep end of weird.

I know you’re struggling to get into this genre, here try this story about a kid who grows a phallic unicorn horn from his forehead…

Yeah I was probably too young to grasp that when I first watched in ~2003. It was one of the first anime I watched with relatively adult themes, but was drawn in by the art style and music. The sexual overtones were lost on me.

FLCL is great, but it is pretty damned weird and better with knowledge of the material it parodies.

Cowboy Bebop is the entry point to anime. It’s mostly episodic so there’s no need for a huge time investment. You’ll know if you’re going to like it or not after an episode or two. The only problem is that it’s so damned good, it’s only downhill from there.
