>>4148895That thing about Anno denying that it's deep or not and that no matter how much he denies it and changes things, it's impossible. Since he began with the psychological subplot of the characters and the panspermia of the human race, he began to delve into the story itself. Whether he did it indirectly or with some other excuse, he can't deny that he did all his "dark or existentialist" story or whatever you want to put it himself.
