Ah yes, the Evangelion movies. Where Anno basically says - "okay you sniveling fanboys! You didn't like my innovative self reflective end of the series? You want a climactic robot battle to end the series on? Here you go! And CHOKE on it!! NYA HAHAHAHA!!!"
Anno just so dearly needs a good smacking around the head for that.
*AHEM* Sorry. Went off on a rant there. ^_^
My one-line capsule description of End of Evangelion runs like this -
Imagine 2001: A Space Odyssey - but directed by David Cronenberg instead of Stanley Kubrick, okay? That's End of Evangelion.
