"Western Standards" aren't even those of the damn consumers, but corpos looking to take control.
Anime based on western concepts that filtered through Japanese culture to create classics like cowboy bebop, Akira, Evangelion, etc are phenomenal. Anime based on western concepts like faggotry, not so much.
Saw Eva for the first time last year. Holds up beautifully. Need to see Rebuild movies soon.
Don't. If you enjoyed the original then you will hate it and its designed to be hated by you by the creator himself.
