I keep coming so close to just... stopping the story xD. I do it all the time, I start writing, get proper into it, then just get bored and move onto another idea. But, I'm 5000 words into this one, I don't want to waste it. I actually want to get it done.
EoE has indeed made it into my favourites list, it was amazing beyond belief. An absolutely beautiful mind-fuck, and I can tell you that I won't experience anything quite like it again. In fact, if you could recommend any shows similar to NGE, I'd gladly take a look at them.
I thought Hyouka was good (I've had it on hold for almost a year xD), I had it lingering between 6 and 7 throughout watching it but I decided to be a little generous at the end and give it a 7. Mainly because of Oreki, he was an amazing character. I might trigger you by saying this but... I really really disliked Chitanda, she got on my nerves. Granted I did like her sometimes, but she was highly hit and miss with me. Thought the show was a little too melodramatic at times.. but.. the mysteries were alright, the OST was fantastic, Oreki was great, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I enjoyed it overall.
An excellent writeup, I agree on most of your points, especially the tone shifting. A character death would have a several minute long leadup only to be undermined by a gag a few moments later, or even in the very same scene. While I didn't like her I have to give credit to the mangaka for making Seryu such a ridiculous character - guns for limbs, and one in her mouth? Thats silly and I totally could have seen something like that in a more consistently ligthearted action/comedy.
Reading your thoughts and me noting how much I agree with them make me wonder if I was too lenient due to it being one of the first anime I watched....

I loved Vince and Re-L, but man the story just tanked for me after they left Romdeau; I was loving the politicial mystery but then it turned into an episodic anime where they fought a new Proxy, or visited a new dome. The Smile Land episode was the biggest offender of this - the entire episode felt pointless and added nothing to the overall story. The Gameshow episode was another thing I didn't like - props to them for making an exposition dump that wasn't boring, but I'm not a fan of (unwarrented) exposition dumps (Shinsekai Yori had them too and they were sleep-inducing) to begin with.
Edit: another big example, possibly the biggest, is Pupa which I consider to be objectively one of the worst anime out there, though I found it to be extremely enjoyable for reasons I don't even know
Yes the OST is brillant. I even listen to it on its own from time to time. Its used so well in the story its isane.
Haha, um no it's not like I'm avoiding it if thats what you mean. I think I'll just give a 10 to my favorite anime of all time, but I dont really have a clear one atm. I've given 10s before, but they didnt last because I keep on second guessing myself and I love a lot of my 9s around the same amount. I've actually ended kicking a few shows out of my all time favs, the more I thought about it xD. but if you're curious my top 3 in enjoyment are Monster, NGE and Nana.
I'm going to try and re-watch a few favs to hopefully love them even more. Then with luck, my own bias will overpower my reasoning and I'll stop being such a cynic.
