It is unfortunate that, according to rumors, the author did not agree with the director's psychological take on the show (fun fact: the director is Hideaki Anno, the same person behind Neon Genesis Evangelion). By the last quarter of the anime, he was pressured out of the production team and was replaced by a director who was more faithful to the ordinarily romantic atmosphere of the source material. They also ran out of budget near the end, hence the still frames and popsicle stick figures. Had the original director not been pushed out and had Gainax not mishandled their budget, the show probably could have been a 10/10 masterpiece.
