| I think a mindfuck is an event in animes or movies, which comes in suddenly and unexpected. At first the event itself is disturbing to the viewer, so the mind is fucked. It's up to the viewer, he/she could be just shocked or trying to it somehow and thinking about the message behind it. That would be a mindfuck for me. I like genre like psychological, dementia, mystery and so on very much, so I also like mindfuck very much ;) |

| It's quite simple for me: "WTF" you say after that and hard to descript someone what about was it . :D |

| To me a "mindfuck" would be something that has shocked the viewer or made the viewer think a little bit more about something. But the ultimate "mindfuck" in my opinion, would be when you are left with thoughts on what "reality" is...or begin to question "reality" or even simply....the word reality...you are left with thoughts about the world or what you thought was the way of things and you simply see it differently...Perhaps opening your mind a little bit more then it was before...even putting you into another realm or state of mind...You know...a mindfuck...I could go on...ha' And I love it =D |

| Mind-fuck is quite simply being unable to translate what you are watching into a rational stream of thought. Unraveling the mind-fuck is the funnest part about it. |
| Mindfuck to me is simply a bizarre twist of events, that I'm unable to rationally put into words and shit that makes me question the world and my beliefs. Personally I LOVE mindfucks, they allow to me think in new ways look at the world differently. And they feel good. |
| For me, a mindfuck would be when you've just seen something that dosen't really make any sense or isn't what you thought was going to happen. Some of the time you start to think it over, and you look at something in a different way, or start to question your whole system of beliefs. After you've seen it, most of the time its hard to explain, or rationalize the course of events that just happened. Because the scene was so bizare, its fucked with your mind, and therefore a "mindfuck". |

| i think mindfucks are much more than a simple "wtf" moment in anime. seraphjei said: Mind-fuck is quite simply being unable to translate what you are watching into a rational stream of thought. I dont think i'd be able to explain it better than that haha. But when I think of mindfucks I think of movie or shows that mess around with what our concept of reality is, and at when you can't discern what is reality or not in the show. It's when you can't really understand what is going on, and its more than just the shock factor. Good mindfucks spend a lot of time building up to the final "WTF" moment, but without the buildup beforehand it really wouldn't be a mindfuck at all. I love them because it makes me look at things a whole new way and trying to figure out an explanation for the seemingly unexplainable series of events is the best part about watching mindfuck shows or movies. |
| Several people have said the same exact thing that I feel - a "mindfuck" is a WTF moment that leaves you with your mouth wide open and trying to comprehend what you just saw/read. I'm currently going through this with each chapter that I'm reading with "Bokurano" |
| I usually always thought a mindfuck was more of a huge twist in a in depth story line.. Like a anime I thought was a mindfuck was death note but also animes like dead leaves and mind game are a lot more of a mindfuck because they're WTF moments. but I like mindfucks like death note and ergo proxy. does anybody know more like death note and ergo proxy |
 |
| Well it's the unexplained trying to get explained! I like it cause it makes you think. I think that's my simple answer. Sorry no mindfuck in my answer:) |
 |
| Well the name defines itself. Midfuck is something that fucks with your head like when the plot keeps mixing reality and fantasy to the extent that you can't tell the difference between those two. |
| Well if if I hadn't red these comments i'd never have defined it like a WTF moment. I was leaning to the impression the pics of the club gave me. The effect of seeing the reality in another tone can always have something obscure too it, i guess that's what i was looking at. It would be like something that is toying around in ur head, connecting to it so that u feel u are being completely red and at the same time it shows more and more new things that u feel like its necessary for them to be there, but don't really get them in a rational way. Its the culprit of the consuming of culture and a perverse excitement... or so I think. I love it and sometimes hate it... |

| I'm guessing it's something like writers block, maybe better, maybe worse. |
 |
| 1) An experience/series/event that leaves you speechless. Makes you re-think the entire mind-fuck, and question your interpretation. Did I get that right?...did that really just happen... 2) Something that keeps you wide eyed while watching. Examples...1st 6 minutes of Elfen Lied or the last episode of Higurashi no Haku Koro ni. |

| "An act similar to sex, involving two people sending mentally arousing brain waves to each other. No physical contact is required to mind fuck. Mind fucking is a very safe sexual act, however one should be warned that you can contract a MTD, or mentally transmitted disease. It is recommended that those who are about to mind fuck make a mental mind condom before hand, to help reduce the chance of contracting a MTD. Mind fucking is a two person activity. If you wish to engage in a form of mental sexual activity for more than 2 people, try having a mind orgy or mind threesome. Normal orgy and threesome rules apply. I just had the most amazing mind fuck with Sara last night!!@ I got such a brainer, and her mind is so sexy. I could have eletricly compulsed on her brain all night long." This is what Jessica from (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mind+fuck) thinks. |
| i think mindfucks are very good for us since it helps opening our minds. That's a very important thing for us humans since it is the key to evolution itself. Opening our minds means not to stay in a world where we just process what is in front of us, which is what we usually do, but to go beyond, breaking the barriers of reason and logic... After trying acid, which is the ultimate mindfuck, I realized that its like we all live inside this room with no windows, doors or any other connection to what is outside. The thing is that we don't realize there is an outside and we live thinking this little room is everything and there is nothing more. Mindfucks are as if a window suddenly appeared in this small room so that we can realize it ourselves that there is much more than atoms and molecules, etc... i guess i'm talking too much xD |
weeeeeew said: katsup said: i think mindfucks are much more than a simple "wtf" moment in anime. Imo, most of the people in this thread can't tell the difference between mindfuck and a regular plot-twist. I like plot-twists and for the most part I think that they makes good animes/movies even better, but for me there's a big difference between plot-twists and mindfuck. Word. For me, a mindfuck is something that is confusing, at least partly incomprehensible at first glance or leaving a lot up to one's own interpretations. Not an unexpected turn of events... if that was the case, even Sailor Moon would be mindfuck because Sailor Saturn is WTF not the soldier of death?! ...I hope you get what I mean. Mindfuck, on the other hand, would be something that might not seem to make sense at first |

| For me a mindfuck isn't a simple wtf moment. It's usually disturbing imagery, such as fast pace images, distortion, inverted color, hallucination, sudden change of the voice pitch and of course confusing as hell. So what is not mindfuck for me? Higurashi no naku koro ni even though there are some WTF moments. So what is mindfuck for me? NGE ep 25-26 could an example. |

| Definition of "Mindfuck Anime":When you sit there thinking "WTF?!!" the entire anime. Either it has an unexplainable//strange plot or throws different crazy theories at you (or maybe the character is paranoid/hallucinating and you have no idea what's actually a dream n what is reality that kind of stuff.) Stuff that messes with you. Like Cat Soup or Perfect Blue. I like psychological n dementia (mindscrewing animes pretty much) because they're unique n can either keep you on the edge of your seat or mess with your mind. I guess it's like a game trying to figure out wtf you're watching. It's more fun trying to solve it yourself rather then having the info babyfed to you all the time. ^_^ |

| as a example i love the Season 2 from Haruhi Suzumiya also Endless Eight. This is then minfuck? or? |
| something that's unexpected and makes you go WTF Tsubasa is the most shining example of a mindfuck |

| Mindfuck is simply experiencing epilepsy in a normal state of mind. Anything is seen in a different light. This leads to a clearer or a more blurred understanding of the recently analyzed concepts/ideas. The second half of Paprika and End of Evangelion (EoE) are good examples. |

| The threat is stronger than the execution. |
| Mind fuck is where your mind. gets fucked. lol. it [strongly] believes something with a certain concept...only for it to be completely challenged or destroyed by something that denies the norms of society [or your mind]/ the concept.. something along those lines, not very easily explicable:P |
 I can be your new favorite waste of time and you'll be mine |
