Yes

No.

I like FLCL too, but I definitely can't explain that either.

It's a character study about a bunch of neurotics with depression and anxiety disorders.

Also there's some shit about robots fighting aliens.

But it's mostly about how sad everyone is.

Honestly I despise it. It's my girlfriend's favorite series second obly to Sailor Moon. She insists I just never gave it a chance and or I just don't get it.

I watched it about halfway through last year for the 4th or so time. I find it wildly disinterest and equally pretentious. It's just not a show for me. Which is fine imo. I start to think of it worse when I'm told I don't like it strictly because I'm an idiot.

Edit: We started watched Sailor Moon a couple weeks ago. The music is great, but the show itself is definitively okay. I'm not the demographic at all, so watching it from that perspective helps a lot. The animation is generally great.

IMO, Soukyuu no Fafner is a better version Evangelion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soukyuu_no_Fafner

It's good enough that there are multiple TV series, movies, OVA's where the most recent OVA release was on January 20, 2023 and done by Production I.G

2004 TV _ Series = Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor
2005 Short _ OVA = Soukyuu no Fafner: Right of Left
2010 Single Film = Soukyuu no Fafner: Heaven and Earth
2015 TV _ Series = Soukyuu no Fafner: Exodus
2019 Film Series = Soukyuu no Fafner: The Beyond
2023 Single Film = Soukyuu no Fafner: Behind the Line

Not even the first time a mecha creator got mega depressed and basically tried to make their creation as sad and miserable as possible...see Zeta Gundam...

A ringing endorsement from Scotty.

It's about a teenager dealing with his estranged father, yearnings for his mother, and puberty. He's grappling with loss, depression, and lots of sexual tension - including Oedipal, homosexual, abusive (Misato), and teenage (Asuka). There's allegory and symbolism, but also just cool mech fights for the sake of it. The Christian imagery is thrown in solely for flavor, it has no meaning besides what you ascribe to it.

I would have a lot more respect for it if it didn't disappear squarely up its own ass in the final stretch.

Yes, I understand what happened, both in universe and behind the scenes. No, I do not need it explained to me. The final two episodes are still pretentious, meandering, baby's-first-philosophy, art school nonsense trying way too hard to be deeper than it was.

That's one of the reason I really prefer the "Soukyuu no Fafner" franchise.

Far less pretentious-ness.

Also reminder that everybody in NERV had to have seen Shinji deed over Asuka because there's part where they're looking at a security camera pointed right at her when they're talking about evacuating when SEELE invades >_>

It is a groundbreaker in some ways, and I respect it for that as well as the cool fights and other stuff.

I think things like this definitely eclipsed it though, and while less feat-wise impressive than TTGL, that this is basically among their best:

Remember, kids, if your first attempt at throwing whatever you can at a problem doesn't work, just throw Jupiter or some variant of it at it afterward.

It could have been good. But no, I fucking hated it. The most annoying part wasn't Shinji being a wimp. I could barely tolerate that. It's the authors decision to stop any fight when Shinji passed out. A fight could be picking up speed and starts to get really good and all of a sudden it cuts to the next day. I've never been so infuriated watching any anime as I was when watching Evangelion, and this is coming from a guy who had to rewatch the same 3 seasons of Dragonball Z multiple times because the fight between Frieza and Goku wasn't dubbed yet, so the moment that they met, YTV would restart the entire show.

Watch all of Endless Eight. All anime will look like a masterpiece after that.
