[edit] Cause of depression?
"...following a four year period of depression from Nadia" - should this read "after Nadia" or did working on that anime actually cause his depression? I have to admit, after reading the Nadia article, I could see either one being the case. - RedWordSmith 06:48, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)

GAINAX probably shouldn't be referred to that way, since they only became 'scrappy' post-Honneamise. It WAS the most expensive anime film at its time, after all.

- In my experience, there is no real 'cause' to depression. Sure, there are any number of possible triggers - could be something big, could be something small. Mostly, though, depression is a genetic/cognitive disease, something that turns a person's life sour, generally no matter what they're going through, or what they're doing. See the article depression for more information. --Brasswatchman 20:05, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rumors of mental breakdown
Is there any truth to the rumors that Anno was institulationalized for about half a year following Evangelion? Or is it more likely that this is a rumor based on the depression he experienced prior to it?
I gather the work on Evangelion was pretty stressful, and it's possible he needed some additional therapy after that. He directed His & Her Circumstances though, which was released in '98 (after the Evangelion movies were released in '97). So it may be more likely this is pure rumor, I don't really have any evidence either way.

I've never heard that before, and it doesn't make any chronological sense (he had time after End of Eva to make Love & Pop, start His and Her Circumstances, AND have a mental breakdown?). Probably someone got confused over the psychological issues he had before Eva. -℘yrop (talk) 15:51, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- That would be my guess, but I was wondering if he could have had the breakdown in between finishing the Eva series and releasing the films, which could have something to do with the schedule issues, and why they had to release Death & Rebirth (since End of Eva wasn't done yet). It's probably more likely that people got confused by the issue of his depression prior to Eva, though.

- I've heard rumors of this as well, but I have never seen them verified in any form, and if something like this was true, you would certainly see in written all over the place. DirectorStratton 05:46, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Question Regarding Name
Would anyone who knows or understands Japanese be able to give me a breakdown of whatever various "meanings" might be behind Mr. Anno's name? For one thing, is "Anno" an adopted stage name? I tend to associate it with the Latin word for "year," as in anno dominus, but that could just be a result of my cultural background. Anyone know anything about this? Thank you. --Brasswatchman 20:07, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
It's his given name. "Anno" is a moderately common Japanese family name, no relation to the Latin.
[edit] Filmography
Should the Filmography just list all the movies he's worked on, or should they tell what his role was in them? He was just an animator for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, not a creator of the story in any way.
It says that "Anno began his career as an animator for the anime series The Super Dimension Fortress Macross" and yet that isn't listed in his Filmography. So, are we going to include everything he ever worked on, or just the works he played a significant part? Dream Focus 04:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
