HK: The Japanese philosopher Hiroki Azuma calls the Post-Modern style of consumption a "data-base" consumption, based on his Japanese OTAKU analysis.
He claims that when there are no more "major stories," like ideologies, concrete meanings or value of human life, people determine the value of simulacra by its hidden data-base.
Azuma claims that people are dividing consumption into two levels: the level of simulacra (products in catalogues) and the level of database (invisible).

 <nettime> Evangelion
Interview with Azuma Hiroki by Krystian Woznicki for BLIMP Filmmagazine [33 281 Characters] Since 1984, there have been only three major anime directors who deserve intellectual/artistic appreciation: Hayao Miyazaki, Katsuhiro Otomo and Mamoru Oshii.
Remarkably, and this is perhaps most important and symptomatic here, these three (especially Miyazaki and Oshii) seem to have had to detach their imagination away from typical "anime" images or narratives, as for example, mechanical gimmicks (=mechas) or pretty girls, in order to lift their works on a new level of cultural acceptance.
Together with Shinji and Asuka, we see her on sunny school days' mornings, while miles under the city an artificially created urban infrastructure, their working place, is the downward spiral into the realm of government conspiracies and military research strategists: Tokyo 3 in the year 2015.

 Neon Genesis Evangelion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
On the other hand There is some evidence that Anno's frustrations began earlier than End of Evangelion, and that this film was only a culmination of a growing anger as evidenced by the sudden shift in tone around episode 16.
Several sources (interview with Kazuya Tsurumaki, interview with Hiroki Azuma) seem to indicate that Evangelion was not preplanned and that the series was actually written as it went along.
The shift in tone corresponded with a shift in Anno's worldview that would lead him to abandon the "otaku lifestyle" and temporarily leave anime for more serious live-action film.
