Neon Genesis Evangelion, Band 10: Tränen

The detailed expressions and panels seem to convey so much psychological depth. I wonder what inspired his artistic choices to portray these complex emotions.

The story seemed to take a more introspective turn here, which made me think about how pacing affects the overall impact of the series.

This installment felt more philosophical and darker; I'm curious whether this was planned or a natural evolution of the story.
