someone dug up a copy of eiji otsuka's review of the final two episodes of evangelion, which sparked a whole bunch of discourse at the time (and is one half of why anno included a segment alluding to how his critics suck in EoE)

from the translation i was provided... it seems remarkably tame?
One half of an article in a Japanese newspaper. The second half of an article in a Japanese newspaper.

An excerpt from the book "Scizo Evangelion", reading: "What is Ayanami Rei? Every time I see Rei Ayanami, I am seized by the following thought: Rei Ayanami exists."

Anno Hideki trashing Sailor Moon was not something I had on my bingo card when I finally got around to working on "Evangelion Pleasure Principle" but in hindsight I should not have been surprised...
A Google Lens translated page from the book "Evangelion Pleasure Principle". There is a pull quote from an interview with Anno Hideki: "Back when it came to "Gundam", Tomino Yoshiyuki already made the astute point that the work was merely providing anime fans with a platform for parody. I also realised this with "Sailor Moon". That anime has no substance. All it provides are characters and a minimal worldview, meaning dolls and a sandbos, where you can build sand dunes and give the dolls their own personalities. It's a really convenient playground for anime fans. Animation is probably good for people who want to create something for themselves but can't. It's full of holes. "Evangelion" seems to have been good in that regard as well." This is labelled "Hideaki Anno x Hiroki Azuma (Studio Voice, October 1996 issue)". Below the quote is the following text: ""Return to the pleasure principle" Surprisingly, just over a year and a half after the TV series began airing, it has become nearly impossible to record everything that has been said about Eva. That's how much has been said about Eva. There is a huge amount of talk about it on the internet, and a lot of speculation surrounding the mystery. Has there ever been an anime that has generated so much discussion in such a short period of time?"
