I love Anno's directing here every shot is either beautiful, creative, unique, or all three at the same time. Constant interesting angles helps the film never get dull. Some very uncomfortable and disturbing scenes were amplified by Anno doing a POV shot of literally everything. Combined with the great soundtrack there are some really cool scenes.
Interesting commentary on perversion and sexualisation in Japan from some girls chasing material but empty desires, and some men who are pathetic and lonely and others who are screwed in the head.
