His Evangelion story, as incomplete as it is, is a guilty pleasure of mine because the over-the-top stuff actually serves a plot purpose -- he's single-handedly trying to make it jump genre tracks into a genuine 70s-style giant robot series. And he pretty much succeeds, not so much by brute force but by convincing the people around him through the application of contagious tropes (and a little help near the end from an extra-mischievous Washuu). It's got some weird out-of-left-field stuff in it (like the throwaway bit about singing being a lost art in that world) and it then gangways directly into that weird Slayers/Dual crossover without really resolving the Eva stuff before grinding to a sudden incomplete halt, but it's still damned fun to read. Especially the "magical girl" stuff at the end, which I'm still planning to reference in DW6.
