Why do giant robots and mindfuck endings go hand in hand, /m/?

2001: A Space Odyssey was very influential on the genre as a whole.

It's easier than riding a solid conclusion that resolves all plot threads. Just show some funky imagery sprinkle some pesudophilosphy can call it a wrap

Evangelion was clearly too much for this poor guy

He's not exactly wrong since thats how they tend to go down, that said practically all action leaning genre's of anime deal with this common ending theme

Tomato

I Big O's case Cartoon Network made the director reveal the mystery, which he never intended to do in the first place, so he just made up some shit on the fly.

It's an old genre.

No, it's really not. I've watched dozens upon dozens of mecha shows, and the only ones with even mildly confusing endings are
Big O
Eva (cleared up in EoE)
Layzner (cleared up in OVA)
Eureka Seven
and that's it apart from the numerous mecha shows I've seen that were cancelled.

Giant robots are already super unconventional and impractical concepts, so they usually have stories that reflect that as mecha are usually going to be a focal element in such works.

Really?
I mean I guess the imagery was tricky to deal with at times, but otherwise the ending was as straight forward as can be.
Boy gets the girl and they live happily ever after.

>they live happily ever after.
Are they even alive? I remember them like, fusing with the moon or some shit. I suppose it doesn't really matter, but that in combination with the vagueness of Dewey's goals left me scratching my head a bit.

Renton and Eureka have Nirvash sketch their names and a heart in giant letters on the moon.
They live happily ever after, and the final scene after the show aired was this.
