I definitely can see where Mamoru Oshii can rub people the wrong way. (You made me laugh with the loldeep line. I thought that was exclusively reserved for Evangelion?) I probably enjoy GITS series to a fault because it was the initial science fiction film I viewed as a child.(Sci-fi Channel 1996 or 1997 around midnight)
I have to make additional time throughout my work week to scour your repository. You'll probably be able to drill down the town I live in by Google Analytics by the end of the week.
Sure, but Evangelion is interesting because it's a detective hunt for sources and references to put together the case and explain what it is actually about.
Oshii... is Oshii. Read something like http://www.gwern.net/docs/eva/2003-oshii-izubuchi if you don't believe me.
It's not because I haven't seen them - I've seen all the GitS, basically. (I'm also a Kanno fan, so I recognized your username instantly.)
It's more that I have nothing in particular to say about them. They're not very deep SF, nor is the feel of the future particularly unusual cyberpunk; they're just done really well. I've read discussions and interviews with Mamoru Oshii (and transcribed them) for my Evangelion research, and, well, he's the kind of pretentious loldeep guy I strive not to be.

Here again, I lack any particular angle or insight. I've written on closely related topics, though, see http://www.gwern.net/tags/transhumanism
