In that, I was referring to the use of mecha tropes and just because they common to the genre in no way justifies their use on its own.
It's just like how if people said Kirino from Ore no Imouto acts a certain way because she's a tsundere; that doesn't help you just because we realize it's a certain trope.
And something I think that blasting a lot of the show's budget off was definitely intentional, but of course it's hardly a bad thing either...
I mean when you see good action scenes, I could care less about them giving what people want.
As for Rei, hmm, oh yea that debacle. >.> *Switch to serious* Well, that's just misaimed fandom to the max, I guess.
