RE: Why You Should Watch Anime: A Deep Dive into History, Boldness, Themes, Production Quality, Creativity and Influence of Anime
One of the reasons I believe old anime had more WTF, was because they were inspired by real life. Modern anime don't look much to real life anymore, but rather look towards old anime for inspiration. I think this is a bad direction because we're getting further from what anime was supposed to be, a reflection of life itself.
That said, you are too head over heels for Gainax citing works like Evangelion and TTGL. I believe anime has way more to offer than these two.
That's more of a coincidence. What I'm actually head over heels is for certain themes/genres and certain creators like Mamoru Oshii, Gen Urobuchi, Tetsurō Araki, Hiroyuki Sawano, Kenji Kamiyama, Kinoko Nasu, Ei Aoki, Hideaki Anno, Kenji Kawai, ONE, Shuhei Morita, etc.
