Anime:
Neon Genesis Evangelion (specifically later stuff, surprised no one's mentioned it)

FLCL (Specifically if you try to follow the plot... it's got a cohesive one, it's just hidden under the side-effects of the plot.)

Gen Roe

(And the runners up... Ergo Proxy, Ghost in the Shell, Lain, Paprika, Mushi-shi)

Cat Soup, NGE and EoE, some parts of Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze come pretty close too. In terms of manga MPD Psycho should definately be included, with Gantz having potential (it probably is later on, I haven't read much). Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and Uzumaki are looking to be rather on the mindfucky side of things too.

Oh, and the Beyond and Matriculated Animatrix episodes.

Anime:
Neon Genesis Evangelion (with the original end; End of Eva. is also good, but the original is more mindfuck^^)
Tenshi no Tamago
Akira or Ghost in the Shell (1&2)

Kemonozume, Lain, Ergo Proxy, Gantz, aso. are all also good

The next days I'll watch Paprika. Allegedly, it is good.

Manga:
The last volumes of Golden Boy, of course.
The rest I have is, for me, not really mindfuck ...
I plan to buy these fat telephonebook-like Akira volumes this year, so this too.

How are AKIRA and Elfen Lied mindfuck? "Mindfuck" != disturbing content, imho at least. Either way...

Anime
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Serial Experiments Lain
- Paprika? [or Perfect Blue]

Manga
- Neon Genesis Evangelion, lol
- BLAME!
- FLCL [the anime, too, but the list is already full]

Also, I feel Haibane Renmei deserves an honorable mention... although I'm not sure whether it's really all that much mindufck; maybe I just didn't pay enough attention after all.

Oh, and Boogiepop Phantom, of course [although it's not that much mindfuck anymore after you've seen the movie... but the film's crap anyway, so don't watch it].

Nah, this Kara no Kyokai 5 thing (actually, not only 5) is overrated: chronological trick is actually cheap and fetched + many illogical and [too] pathetic moments (damn, there's no such crap in earlier parts!). The 2nd part is much better (I dunno why everyone worships the 5th... though the 4th is the worst).
