Yes Eva is winning . *spoiler alert*

I hate comparing these two, they are my two fav Animes...but Eva just edges it.

Character wise, i can not seperate the two. The very human relationships inherent in both Animes, from Shinji and Asukas subtle sexual tension, to the Ironic story of Spike and Vicious (considering it was SPIKE not Vicious that was the original betrayer when he stole Julia), to Jet's excellent drama with his former lover, to Shinji's nervous breakdown, everything is full of passion and depth.

Fight scenes...different styles, but its again a draw. Neither is an action Anime anyway, but still great when they appear.

Animation...Bebop is a clear winner here, not that eva was not incerdiable for a tv anime. But they both had great styles, very different, but equally genius.

Eva will always crush Bebop in Plot. Bebop was never about a super complex plot...I love complex stories, so go Eva!

Now DEPTH...both are Equally deep. Eva engages you in deep philosophical debate, while Bebop uses incrediable subtle deepness, symbolism, imagery and sweeping statements of intense depth, but never impengeing on the fun...like Eva does. However, i love the upfront Deepness too. Another draw.

So in the end...the Depressive nature of eva wins it 4 me. I love dark unhappy things. Bebop was depressing...but i have never seen anything as depressing as Eva.
