Nokemono to Hanayome

This series, a joint project between the rising star Asumiko Nakamura, and renowned director of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Kunihiko Ikuhara, weaves a strange, surreal, and often dark comedy resplendent with ruffles and lace. It is on the surface a farce about a young girl traveling with her lover, some sort of bear-type creature, but as to be expected of Ikuhara, it's multi-layered.
