* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena (Anime)|Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'': like many 'deep' anime series -- was put together to promote differing interpretations and discussion. Ikuhara Kunihiko once admitted flat-out that he and the rest of the production team hadn't really kept track of the symbolism in show and the film because they thought the point was for people to interpret it in their own way. They didn't want [[Word of God]] to narrow the fans' focus, embracing something many directors often forget: past a certain point, [[Death of the Author|meaning is ascribed to a series by the viewer, not the creator]].
** He admitted in one interview that the reason he {{spoiler|Turned Utena into a car}} in the movie was because he always wanted to see a beautiful girl turned into a car. No further reason. Doesn't stop fans from having braingasms trying to figure out what it meant.
* ''[[Serial Experiments Lain (Anime)|Serial Experiments Lain]]'' was supposed to be this once exported, but the creator was dismayed to discover that foreigners interpreted it pretty much the same way the Japanese audience did.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': [[Word of God]] stated numerous times that this work was generally designed with [[Mind Screw]] first, plot second. This became more and more apparent in later episodes with all of the symbolism and Freudian imagery splattered all over the place in such ambitious and disjointed fashion, mainly in the form of jump cuts.
