More Incomprehensible Award Nominations!
Note to helpful commenters: Please at least attempt to explain what is incomprehensible, even in brief (I realize this is inherently difficult.) For example, "I understood it until Dave turned into a giant space fetus, unless that was supposed to be metaphorical."
If the series/movie/whatever is still running or is very recent (like Tsubasa) please black out or rot13 spoilers! (Go to rot13.com to encrypt and decrypt, it's easy.)
I did not find Angel Sanctuary that hard to follow once I got past the first few volumes. On the other hand I am still not sure what what happened to God, Lucifer, or the flying cannibal angel embryo armada, so I think it qualifies. It was probably just comprehensible in comparison to, say, Fairy Cube.
I still have no idea what happened at the end of Akira, except that I think it involved destroying Tokyo.
My further nominees: The Quiet Earth: A mysterious event leaves Earth depopulated except for three people. I am not sure what happened at the end or why, but it's possible that one of the men was mysteriously whisked to a moon of Jupiter.
Was Altered States the movie in which William Hurt watches a trippy light show for twenty minutes, then turns into a chimpanzee?

no subject
I feel I should be allowed to include Dollhouse, too, but that's more because of its ability to keep me watching. Though it does have "But they are like TODDLERS and the boy toddler is having sex drive things happen!" and "You...did you just tell me to sympathize with the serial rapist because he misses his wife? YOU JUST TOLD ME TO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE SERIAL RAPIST BECAUSE HE HAS A SAD STORY, DIDN'T YOU!?!??!"
ETA: And I'm not ENTIRELY certain that's exactly what's happening in Speed Grapher. My brain refuses to process some of it. Then there's the villain's origin, which I hope is just impossibly convoluted and not yet truly explained, because if I understood things right He was created 15 years ago from the body of the 15 year old heroine's father to carry out the pain of all the men who died in war. Or something. This would be relatively normal for anime. What is not relatively normal for anime is deciding you are going to marry the teenaged girl your body fathered. I SINCERELY HOPE HIS ORIGIN WAS JUST INCOMPREHENSIBLE, AND NOT WHAT THEY WERE SEEMING TO SAY!!!
