The only downsize of this series is the uber-loved last episode. Why people praises it to no end? because it's in B/W? Jung Freud (A.K.A. the best character of the whole series) acts completely out of character, the christian overtones are constantly bashed on your head like a jackhammer digging the road (who cares about god or miracles?!), and the over-the-top nature of the series is completely thrown away from a cheap, uberdramatic tone that doesn't fit well with the rest of the series (even with the drama of episode 5) nor with the last bit of fanservice. Is it because it showcases what will come out with Neon Genesis Evangelion? it doesn't make any sense at all. Without the ending it would have been an 8, with the crappy emo-leaning and preachy ending is a 7,5.
