Production notes
This TV series ran for 26 episodes.
Based on a 1996 manga by Masami Tsuda in "Hana to Yume" magazine.
This series greatly resembles the American live-action comedy show "Ally McBeal."
Partway through the production, director Hideaki Anno quit to work in live-action film, as he was unhappy with the animated medium.
Combining stop-motion, live action and animation, the series incorporates surrealistic cartoon effects, including split screens, "squashed" versions of the lead characters, and onscreen captions and (sometimes contradictory) subtitles.
In one episode, a featured character has a head which is a photo of a Gainax staff member. Another is animated with paper cutouts and closes with Yukino bursting into real flames.
