Well I was needing a new series to binge on.
It's been a while since I read Franken Fran, but I guess I assumed the people Adorea got the organs from had died on their own. As far as I can recall, Fran seemed to be very much against killing.
I made it through Franken Fran without much trouble. Once I was done with the series I was interested in finding more unique horror manga like it (I was already aware of Junji Ito, btw).
I eventually found one manga that was so bizarre and unsettling I had to bail halfway through.
It didn't have a story, really. It was just the same manga page repeated and slightly altered each time, but the panels were conceived of as 3D spaces that literally contained whatever they depicted. Eventually you get an isometric view of the "page", and eventually some of the things in the panels start escaping, and it's really hard to describe but I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable just thinking about it and wondering how much more surreal and nightmarish the remainder I didn't see got.
Images generated by Google's Deep Dream network evoke a similar feeling in me as this manga did, to use a reference people here might be aware of.
First chapter was good, very Tales from the Crypt-esque.
Second Chapter seemed to be going for a good ending for the happy couple and then swerved to the bad ending on the last page which was kind of a bummer.
Third chapter was a mystery with a happy end.
Fourth was the aforementioned high school chapter.
Fifth I'm kind of ehh on because...
I don't know, maybe I'm just sensitive to that topic.
What could I expect from the rest of the series, based on that?
It's been a while since I read the whole of Franken Fran, so I'm not sure how many times Fran's brand of punishment comes up.
The main example I can recall is definitely against the most despicable person possible:
I did find one episode about Code Geass on a podcast called The Doofcast that was kind of what I wanted, but it only covered the first season and didn't go quite as in-depth as I'd like.

and she is definitely best girl in the anime adaptation
she is so good!
For now I've gone back to Qualidea Code, which seems like a bad show I just really enjoy for no good reason.
Impressions: This feels like a very subdued anime. Nobody is jumping fifteen feet in the air or firing magic beams or revealing they've been possessed by a demon. It's very grounded, which is very relaxing. Also, I have literally no idea where the story is going to go at all, which makes it wildly engaging.

Top Three Moments
-- #2. Paul von Oberstein laying the cards on the table to Reinhard that he he hates the High Nobles and the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
-- #3. Party-boy Kaiser Friedrich IV getting the throne due to his siblings being douche-bags.
Also, I finished Beastars S1. Still the OP of the year by a mile(if not the decade), and I appreciate how it went further into relationships than just about any other show I've seen.
Also also, City Hunter is on Crunchyroll now. Like, all of it.

It's pretty funny, and features the most adorable amnesiac, who is so happy to wake up and find herself in a yuri relationship.
Personally I would love to see a Fran anime, but that probably won't happen. At some point it transitions from individual chapter archs into slightly longer storylines, as well.
It does remind me a lot of Tales from the Crypt, which I like. I also like how Fran is relentlessly positive and never wants anyone to die...even if she doesn't fully understand what's going on and how any of the parties involved actually feel.

I have to stay true to my brand.

I need a new binge-worthy anime. Anime I am very much into: Death Note, Attack on Titan, Promised Neverland, MHA, Cowboy Bebop, Psycho Pass, Monster, Fullmetal Alchemist.
Anime I watched and enjoyed despite some goofy nonsense: Code Geass, Future Diary, Tokyo Ghoul (only the first season), Another.
Anime that is Not For Me: Dragonball, Pokémon, anything where two people fighting charge up their powers and assess their opponent’s prowess for 15 episodes before anybody does anything.
Second season is baaaaaaaad.

I’ve heard great things but can I stream it from my PS4 or do I need to hunch over my laptop?
I consider Mob Psycho 100 an anime that everyone should watch, irregardless of which genre you might be a fan of.
serious answers though
