Its nothing like most of his other movies in terms of plot (ie the focus is not on action) but the way the story is told is just fantastic
Planning on eventually seeing it. Maybe I'll see it sooner.

What standard? I'm not a mecha fan, but I've never seen any show that tries to be anything like it. Especially not Gurren Lagann, the unapologetic over the top power fantasy that the same studio would make years later.
If you ask me, EVA is a convoluted pretentious mess. But it's certainly unique.
