"Do you like Anno Hideaki and Gainax?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when Evangelion came out in '94, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. With it's clear, crisp animation and sound, Neon Genesis Evangelion was an instant classic that revolutionised Mecha genre and anime as a whole. He's been compared to Hayao Miyazaki, but I think Anno has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '96, they released this, The End Of Evangelion, their most accomplished film. I think their undisputed masterpiece is Komm Susser Tod. A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of oblivion and the importance of death. It's also a personal statement about the film and the director itself"
