So is this a Gainax thread?

Don't get me wrong - I figured Mai HiME wasn't so dark as to have an actual "bad" ending, but the way it turned its tone completely on its head for the last episode was just astounding. Everybody being so cool with each other after they had spent the previous dozen or so episodes brutalizing each other was genuinely facepalm-worthy, in my opinion. This is especially true for Nao and Shizuru.

That Eva (the original tv series) and Gurren Lagann are pretty high up there for me.
