I think the issue was just that he was tired of it before they even finished the very first incarnation of Evangeleon. IIRC, the series was fraught with all kinds of issues - budget overruns, deadlines missed, corporate meddling, and in the middle of it all, you have a guy who more likely than not has clinical depression and anxiety disorder, trying to create the ultimate deconstruction of the giant mecha vs kaiju subgenre of shounen anime.

In a very real sense, I get the idea that Ano actually was Shinji at the end of the series there. File that one under "Unexpected Self-Inserts". (Not to be confused with intentional self-inserts, the sort of which Nabeshin is well known for - he utterly ruined Tenchi Muyo GXP with his BS.)

Funny thing about the man: he seems a LOT happier doing surrealist and absurdist comedy. Go google for something called Funky Forest, and brace yourself for some weird shit. Anno directed that, and from what I understand, he immensely enjoyed it.
