Err, the "philosobabble" is the point of the series. the action is to keep the ADD crowd happy.

Honestly, I'm going to have to throw my support for this, exactly. The problem with most American tv and film viewers is they've been force-fed the constant nonstop mindless action for so long they've simply come to expect it. It's the same reason all the news networks in the US realized 20 years ago they could only keep peoples attention with 10-second news segments, which is where the phrase 10-second attention spam originated from.

Thats probably why I enjoy anime and simply cannot stand the majority of US TV. I actually like my brain to be stimulated, not injected with adrenaline in short bursts; so those long sequences of character development and complex plot twists, mixed with character realizations and insight into slowly piecing together a background for a story as it goes is something I quite frankly enjoy very much.

Call me old fashioned but I actually like a story that goes somewhere unexpected and keeps me glued to even the slow moments because I'm so immersed I simply have to know what comes next.

What...? I only go to "the problem" before I was forced to do something else!

ADV is making it from what I remember. It's been in the works for nearly 3-4 years now and nothings but 2-3 concept art have been shown. No one expects it to be good though, it's just a question of whether it's so bad it's good or this flatout sucks.

shit, you can burn through the budget of LOTR on EVA and it would still look sucky. And I don't think ADV has that kind of money.
