Neon Genesis Evangelion for me. The original ending where everyone was clapping around Shinji was so weird. It's at its best when it's about giant robots fighting the angels but gets really strange once the characters are out of the cockpit.

    I like Evangelion specifically because most of it wasn't intended to have a meaning. Anno just put it in the show because he thought it looked/sounded cool.

    This is similar to why I like games from Hideo Kojima. Its just filled with stuff he thought is cool. It doesn't always have to have a meaning or explanation.

    Metal Gear Solid really clicked for me even though it had some strange shit going on with it too. Maybe because the tone and pacing was handled pretty well. The Patriots, Les Enfants Terribles, and even Revolver Ocelot's arm possession just fit the narrative quite nicely.

    To me it always felt like people were trying to justify the plot and setting as some sort of grandiose idea, when it's just a shit idea with random words and images.

    It's angels, that why they explode into crosses, also the children experience trauma, that's why the mechs...

    Fuck off. I've watched deep dives of episodes, with frames explained down to pixels, and it's still random shit for the sake of shock, nothing more.
