** Anno is also a big fan of World War II history, considering most of the Evangelion characters are named after ships in the Imperial Japanese Navy or nautical terms ("Ikari" meaning "anchor" and so on). Again, this comes as no surprise as another of Anno's influences is LeijiMatsumoto (Famous for SpaceBattleshipYamato, another anime involving a World War II battleship, and [[spoiler:another KillEmAll ending]]).

Though, that be said, he still has nothing on his friend Creator/KunihikoIkuhara.
* TroubledProduction: Gainax's shifty accounting practices combined with advertisers pulling out in droves gave him a lot of grief over the years, and is at least partly the reason why his works sometimes suffer from poor quality [[OffModel animation]] and {{Gainax Ending}}s.

Anno made a name for himself working as an animator on ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' -- thanks to recognition from since-then friend, {{mentor}}, and collaborator Creator/HayaoMiyazaki [[note]]In case you noticed anything in ''Nausicaa'' that could have possibly influenced ''Evangelion'', yes, he did animate the scene with the Giant Warrior[[/note]]. His most high-profile work prior to ''Evangelion'' was for ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'' and ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}''. He has also directed several live-action films, including an adaptation of popular 1970s anime ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' and Toho's 2016 Franchise/{{Godzilla}} film, ''Film/ShinGodzilla''.

* RagsToRiches: Before helping to found Gainax, Anno was an out-of-work animator and college washout. Then he and some peers made two opening videos for an Osaka sci-fi convention called DAICON, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KUsRbMUpEU the opening video for DAICON IV]] proving popular enough to get them noticed in the industry. Anno, himself, would go on to work with Studio Ghibli on ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' before founding Gainax and becoming a household name among anime fans.

** Long, suspenseful scenes waiting for an enemy attack, accompanied by unnerving music, usually played on the piano (''Gunbuster'', ''Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water'', ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'').

** Anno is also a big fan of World War II history, considering most of the Evangelion characters are named after ships in the Imperial Japanese Navy or nautical terms ("Ikari" meaning "anchor" and so on). Again, this comes as no surprise as another of Anno's influences is LeujiMatsumoto (Famous for SpaceBattleshipYamato, another anime involving a World War II battleship, and [[spoiler:another KillEmAll ending]]).
