GAINAX is all too happy to tell people how "wild" and "far out" they are. When Anno was still writing and directing for them they certainly were capable of excellent anime. I can name 3 very good titles from GAINAX; so can anyone - but they haven't done anything for me lately.

They used to do things with anime as a storytelling medium... I wouldn't say that their best titles had incredible animation.

Why not? At this point they are neither a tiny 'boutique" studio with a short track record nor a huge one with a bloated resume. Their body of work taken as a whole doesn't stand for anything special, despite their claims to the contrary.
Why not compare them to Madhouse, for example? Madhouse would have done a better job with the characterization in this series.
