| Well, sometimes the story just dosen't make sense because the writers screwed up. That's a weakness, and a show would have to have be really good in other areas (eg have good action sequences) in order to make up for it. There's a difference between leaving your audience wondering at the end of a show, and leaving your audience confused. |

| I enjoyed EoE despite the absolute abnormal mind-fuck. Well, first off I thought that I understood evangelion until I read some explanations about it on wiki And anime-on. I realized that I didn't understand a single shit and the show was too deeper than everyone thought. The problem with this franchise is that the original author didn't know how to explain his story in a good way so he started using symbolism and key scenes. After reading those explanations, I realized that the author didn't explain everything and it all depends on your accurasy of observation and analyzation. And you won't get his points if you don't rewatch the series many times. People whom say that eva makes no sense are tipically normal humans. I suggest reading every article in the internet about eva. |

| Incomprehensible is often a result of bad writing/presentation. I've dropped plenty of anime that tried (and failed) to be "difficult to follow" just for the sake of being just that. Good "hard to follow" anime has to at least be interesting/intriguing. When done well, it's even better the 2nd time around watching. I think that a lot of people do give low scores when an anime is "difficult" for them. Low/moderate complexity anime like Haruhi or Steins;Gate can reach a wider audience than the top-tier "WTF" anime. |

| If I can't follow it, it must be some really halfassed garbage. So yeah, I guess. |

| If I don't understand something , I just watch the episode again , I don't care , I mean , I'm not as smart as most people on internet (psst), I had to watch like three times Dark Knight (2008) because I didn't understand a shit when I saw it for the first time and I'm not ashamed of that , at least I try to fully understand the story . In anime it has only happened to me once... those damn dialogues between Kaiki and Araragi/Karen/Hitagi in Nisemonogatari . I don't drop an anime just because it's hard to follow , I drop shows I don't enjoy , it doesn't matter whether it's a masterpiece (according to the Internet) or an Ero-Manga Sensei . If you don't enjoy watching things like Serial Experiments Lain , drop it . Nobody's forcing you to watch it , maybe someday you'll be able to understand it perfectly and enjoy it as much as some people do . |
| I love psychological anime, symbolism and all that stuff. I only drop anime if it's very bad or doesn't pique my interest at all. One example is Texhnolyze. I watched 6 episodes and it didn't offer me absolutely anything to keep me watching it further. I don't care if it gets better later, I don't have the nerves to watch it. |
 |
| All depends on the anime for me some can be incredibly engaging while others are complete snooze-fest. |
| If it requires spoonfeeding, then yes I can consider it as bad because of incapable of explaining those "complicated" stuffs that EVERYONE can understand by just simply watching and not being spoonfed. So basically this. |
 |
| I for one fucking love that kind of storytelling. There have already been good explanations of why it can be great in this thread. |

| Really depends of how fun it is while being incomprehensible. Dies Irae is a complete mess, but it's so funny to watch I don't really care if it's hard to follow, as long as I have edgy nazis spouting random buzzwords to make the setting look cooler, I will enjoy it. |
 |
| No. If you cant understand it after 6 or 12 episodes then you need to seek professional help. |
