Did he ruin or elevate anime as an art form?

he'll be fine

Anime was already in decline when NGE arrived thanks to the economical stagnation and a generation of adult men unable to find jobs or talk with women who grow up idolizing Minmey and Lum. NGE gave a last hurrah to anime on the late 90s before the bankruptcy of the studios and the final victory of moe

it was a mistake.

Go play with your grandchildren instead, oldfag. You do have some, right? You're not an awkward otaku failure without offspring, are you?

I think he did, though he was part of a trend. In general the 80s and 90s were about giving anime a more cinematic feeling. In the 80s it was Oshii and Dezaki, while in the 90s it was Kon, Ikuhara, Ueda and Anno. Though to an extent you could see him as standing out since thanks to him this trend was also adapted by tv anime.
