“You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, "Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life." If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!”
― Hayao Miyazaki, a man who seemingly can't stand many other humans himself
“When you're making anime, if you get all of your inspiration from anime... it's going to lack originality and creativity, so I try to get my inspiration from different genres.”
— Shinichiro Watanabe

Maybe I’m just not reading into it as much, but I don’t really see the show having as much depth as you’re saying. The writing and especially the theme that you're talking about was just kinda unremarkable to me. Of course everyone has different viewing experiences.
I liked SBY, it was one of my first romances, and I gave it a ten when I first watched it. The lightnovel is great too, I would say it's better than what's animated. Both in terms of experience and that the arcs that follow the movies are the best in the series in my opinion.
enjoy!
