yes that includes your beloved batman TAS, justice league and all that tripe.
evangelion changed the game. its literally the star wars of japan, in that its one of the most influential forces in all of japanese animation. what it did in the 90's was akin to what nirvana did with grunge. it killed the happy-go-lucky bullshyt and real robot genre and ushered in a new era of introspective post-modern anime that were in line with the dark economic times japan was facing at the time. even gundam was forced to lean back for a minute
evangelion was a masterpiece, but be warned, only cynical, introverted muhfukkas will really
'get it'. it was made during a phase in the directors life when he was really depressed and it shows. its more comparable to a surreal independent film than it is to any other anime out there
