This show is helpful to me when I analyze a work of art because when people say that something is deep and interesting, and I don't think it is, I can just think of the Eva fandom and rest assured that a lot of people agreeing on something doesn't make them right.

I call these kinds of shows "all-aesthetics". All they're doing is trying to look cool and all people are doing when they say it's deep and interesting is also trying to look cool.

Works like Berserk, Eva, Cowboy Bebop, Bladerunner, just aren't as deep as people adamantly make them out to be. They're visually interesting or even great but that's it. I guess the issue is a relative lack of culture, leading to mistaking things that sound deep for things that actually are.
