for me it was Rascal does not dream of bunny girl. I really liked this series but it had me confused. after watching it for the 5th time i realized that I had to know quantum mechanics to understand the whole time-line thing.
i also didnt understand Aot at first but now i understand everything cuz it doesnt require me to understand quantum physics.
fairytail also didnt make sense to me but now i know that power of friendship gives someone the strength of the mosquito in one punch man.
kakegurui makes no sense to me but i like it

I have no idea what the hell this show was trying to do by just looping this and that, and even at last 2 episodes explained it all, nope, still confused in some part. But still a masterpiece.

I liked Flying Luna Clipper, it's hard to descirbe and even harder to understand.

Now that I think about it, I think it was intented that way.

Evangelion explains nothing, by the end I didn't know shit about the plot. Still fucking love this shit. Had to watch multiple videos to finally get all the lore.

Not a series but the movie Kaijuu no Kodomo. I liked it and I thought it was interesting, but damn it was so confusing, especially toward the end.

Mawaru Penguindrum and Humanity Has Declined were definitely two headscrathers for me. Still enjoyed them though.

Also the ending to Monster had me confused for a while.

NGE definitely left me with tons of questions, Anno with his mental gymnastics and vague symbolisms. I had to watch commentaries on YT to explain some of it, but even those commentators usually rely on their personal theories when attempting to explain.

You don’t need to know Quantum Physics for Bunny Girl Senpai because the Quantum Physics isn’t correct or even relevant and the author doesn’t understand it either. It l’s done precisely to confuse people and make the series seem smarter than it actually is.

I know, but I wasn't critiquing, I was sharing my own experience. Sometimes I stumble upon a video on YouTube and I question if there are extra episodes that I missed or if I am just stupid.

Yup, all that worldbuilding should've been in some long-lost extra episode 27 but nope it's in a shitty ps2 game.

How could you forget the card game? Everyone knows that explains some of the lore. You think I'm joking but I'm not.

Evangelion without the movies. I know there were some budgets issues and some other things in the way, but hell, they had to make a movie to clarify most of the things. BTW, still waiting for the last movie, probably airing on 2052 lol

I don't have any such anime, if I don't understand it then I don't like it, I'm not the type to praise something just because the content went over my head so it must be some deep and amazing series.

Kakegurui, I'm teenaged and has never went gambling in my life, I really could not understand half the terms or tricks they did, I mainly was there for the relationship of the characters and the stuff I could understand, such as simple card games or even rock paper scissors

I loved AOT season 3 part 2 but dang all the throwbacks and explanations about the history and beginning of stuff in the show was just plain confusing.

I'm even considering rewatching it just so I won't be this lost. I tried to read a summary but that did not help at all. I don't know maybe I'm just slow, everyone else seem to get it
