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?

I didn't take that to mean so much that he's actually _on_ a moon of Saturn/Jupiter (neither planet has those tides or waterspout-clouds, right?) -- more like, it's somewhere absolutely alien, and he thought he was going to escape his guilt through dying. But his sentence is to live, even when he tries attempting suicide -- again. Which goes back to, for me, the central point of how you can't escape responsibility and yet how often scientific 'achievements' are divorced from any possible real-world consequences they might have. I mean, presumably among all the millions of planets out there, there _are_ some with oxygen atmospheres, and with the quantum engine power machine generator plant thing, all kinds of whacky shit was going on. I guess for me that sounds more like a nit (altho I hate that term, it's so deprecating) than something like the end of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion,' but obviously mileage varies &c &c.
It's sort of hilarious how all the movie posters use the final SPOILER shot, but then again, it's not really a spoiler until you know how the film ends, I guess.
