the NGE equivalent of magical girls.

I AM ALSO NOT ENTIRELY FOND OF THIS DESCRIPTION OF IT

It's a good show.  It's different from the rest of the genre.  But it's impact on the genre was a splash in the pan compared to what Evangelion did to mecha.  For all people say that [i]"oooh, massive deconstruction, never gonna see the genre the same again!"[/i] it just... Kind of kept puttering along regardless.  It's pretty much the only "dark" magical girl show to really work out, with the genre still being dominated by the likes of [s]Magic Kung Fu Lesbians[/s] Precure.

...Like I said it is 6:20am and I am not good at debating at this time.  Also it's not even Urobuchi's best work in my opinion. XD Kamen Rider Gaim and Fate/Zero are my one and two of his work.

Also also I can never seem to get around to watching anime when it is still recent for some reason. ^^;
