Yeah, that's a very healthy outlook on life.

What Smith-san said.
Also, "As long as you're alive, you'll be okay." On the face of it, it sounds like an all right statement to make, but consider the similarity to Gendo's line "[Rei] isn't dead". Definitely not the most pleasant of attitudes.

The main point of idiocy is for the smart to have their lulz. Without human idiocy, trolling would not exist, and that's uncool, since a large part of my entertainment consists of mocking the absurdity and dumbassery of the world, especially the Internet.-MaggotMaster

But did they deserve it from a man suffering from a "is it possible to be a mature adult and still lurve animu?" complex?

What complex? After Eva Anno was in quite anime denial. You could even say he was fundamentalist even, lol
In recent years he has become more appreciating towards anime again ( I wonder if it is coincidence this was after he happened to marry certain mangaka...)

From what little I know, he left anime after NGE because he didn't how, as I said, how one could be a mature adult and be an anime fan at the same time. I'm pretty sure he had a personal crisis of some sort going on.
I can't substantiate this easily, being very bad with my sauces on actual human beings, so I'll put this down to "strong impression I can't actually substantiate at the moment". But if you want to prove me wrong... I wouldn't mind seeing sauce to the contrary.

I can think of one person who gives the impession of being a mature adult and an Anime fan at the same time: Animenation's John Opplinger. But then, I've been reading a lot of his "Ask John" articles recently.
And on our forum, we've got Ornette and Tines-Ojisan. There are bound to be plenty of others.
Being a fan of anime does not automatically make a person immature, Ikari (Anno) Hideaki! Taking out your personal issues on Anime viewers, however, is immature.

ANNO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF EVANGELION MERCHANDISE EXCEPT FOR CREATING THE SHOW IT'S BASED ON! HE HAS EXPRESSED ANNOYANCE WITH ITS OVERMARKETING OF VAGUELY RELATED PRODUCTS!!! GAAHHHHH!!!
...Ooh, sorry. I left my caps lock on.

...Not to mention he tried to design Evas so they would be impossible to change into succesful toys. Oh the irony
lolwut, I really doubt e.g Ornette fits in picture of typical otaku Anno was attacking against.

Mature adults are perpetually drunk and write fanfiction about cartoons? That's not what they said being an adult was about when I was in skool!

I don't really doubt you, these do seem to match the personality I see in Anno to a degree, but I don wonder, what are your sources?

I believe in the director of Eva 1.11.

I don't remember my source anymore, but I'm pretty sure I mentioned it once on this board here, was asked for a source, and produced one.
As for Xard's statement, I would like to see a source. Somewhat conversely, I did read somewhere that, up until NGE, most giant robots were thickly built so that they'd make good toys. I think it was something that Carl Horn wrote.

Hideaki Anno wrote:"With recent robot anime series,
there have been too many instances of toy makers sticking their big noses in
during the design stage so they can get a spec that is easy to turn into a toy.
I don't want any interference from toy makers, so I'm going to design a robot
that just cannot be turned into a toy."
But I just remembered it from here, and that webpage apparently got it from Wikipedia, so...

Why do I get the feeling he's referring to Might Gaine, a 1993-1994 Super Robot anime that became so ridden with Takara calling everything from designs to plot elements that the ending became a massive, fourth-wall breaking diatribe against the toy company paying for it?
Or really he could have been talking about the late 80's-early 90's in general. That example just sprung to mind.

Perpetually drunk, maybe. Fanfiction is just a hobby, and Anime aren't always "cartoony" cartoons.
In the end, one's hobbies or drunkenness need not be directly proportional to one's maturity level.

All adults have their thing. Maturity comes with not letting any one thing define you and having control over your own physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing
