>>37225>poor pacingnever heard this criticism, ever, about bebop
explain
bebop is a seinen that takes itself somewhat seriously, which is why it failed completely in japan with the otaku anime customer base, and why it's good
it has an actual plot, with a full story arc, character development, etc., it didn't run on tired cliches and throwaway gags
NGE is all-style substance-free preachy pseud-bait faux-deep shounen crap that takes itself too seriously for what it is, it succeeded initially then failed with otakus when the big reveal was that it was all just a shitty parable aimed at otaku telling them to man up, even though the story wasn't actually about that at all, at the end Anno decided

>I (the author) watched the Hellraiser films and really liked them
