A) I just understood Utena herself (I am completely like that with my friends)
B) the opening sequence
C) duels rock
Actually it was only the very last story-arc that threw me. The finale just did my head in. I loved it, but didn't completely understand it.

the duels are cool, but I love the whole symbolical feast of it ! and the mindfucks, incest, and very twisted outlook at people's relationships. Oh, and the fucked up fairy tales aspect.
Utena works on a thematic and symbolical plan. Sometimes trying to make it work in a pure sequential / logical way doesn't make sense. You have to think about what things mean, what they stand for. IMHO.
