Anno's Evangelion: A Study In Mental Disorders Hideaki Anno's “Shin Seiki Evangelion” was revolutionary for its time.

A Garden Of Roses: Character Relationships In “Marimite” While most hit anime shows that make it to Western audiences are the ones that either show off an excessive amount of cleavage or have hideously long fight scenes, there are shows that actually have some level of substance. Among those shows is “Maria-sama ga Miteru,” which focuses heavily not on an overarching plot, but on the intricacies and nuances of daily life for a group of tightly-knit girls in high school. The show is often applauded for the intense emotional depth of the characters and how their emotions and relationships form the core of the show's appeal.
