From my understand the ending was due to studio basically pulling the plug on a show that was not only on a shit time block in Japan, but also just getting poor weekly rating. It wasn't until merchandising and physical release that it got the cult follow. I could be wrong but that was my understanding, it changed a lot of how anime is perceived to a much more mass audience.
The whole Philo religion shit was like new to anime at the introducing of complex ideas that haven't been fully explored. You have shit like Madoka, despite being shitty little Loli magica girls, gets grimdark real fast and the loli is to purely decieve the viewer.
I'm not a fan of Shinji but his introduction as a useless, refusal/forced to pilot, and so forth was just such a new concept because everyone before it, didn't really exist. You have characters like Simon from Gurren Lagann and Renton? From eureka seven who do the same thing but to an almost unbearable sob. Atleast shinji tried to rub one out on a unconscious girl.
