Anyway. I can see where you're coming from, but early on I felt pretty sympathetic to whatshisname and Miharu's slow figuring out of who they were. For reasons outside the story, this lessens somewhat when whatshisname attacks the Air Force base for no immediately apparent reason, and when Nutso Mishima-Like Guy tries to start a war with the US, seemingly with the story's approval. I did like the overall shape of (most of) the series--it's probably worth noting that, aside from the two movies, I've never seen Evangelion--possibly more for technical reasons than anything else: the geek in me likes hydraulics-using mecha that look workable in the present day, and a combination of that with Japanese culture and alien aliens is the sort of thing I'm hardwired to like.
Eh. I got into Gasaraki during my last great flurry of anime-interest some years ago, which I think mainly encompassed that, Crest of the Stars, NieA_7, The Big O, Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne; of those, CotS and Escaflowne eventually lost me (the latter for its who-cares ending, the former for always seeming to be about Jinto and Lafiel stuck on some stupid planet).
