S;G spent almost half the show working on character development and world building before the main storyline actually kicked in. The ADHD "I WANT STORY AND I IT NAO!!" mentality has really changed anime, and I don't think for the better. I was always critical of the time-wasting that went on in shows like Eureka Seven and Blood+, because those really were examples of dragging out a story that could have been told in half the episode count. But something like R;N and S;G require time for you to get to know the characters and flesh out the world they inhabit. They are, after all, originally VNs!
