Higurashi was actually like that for me. I completely gave up with it having any satisfying answer by the time I finished the 3rd question arc because it was so confusing, but it did. Granted it wasn't a full mystery, but the themes and answers were great. That was what made Higurashi seem like a miracle work to most people. The ability to make a story that's not just sensible but has good underlying themes out of a crazed whooplash.
