I love this anime. It's a bit fucking weird at times (the random guts and blood everywhere). But the quality is unbelievable. If you took a look at how complex the design of the EVAs are, you'd be amazed (and remember this stuff came out almost 20 years ago). Blizzard needs to hire these guys for some unit concept art. Also, Cruel Angel's Thesis is the best song ever. | ||

Far from a unemotional discussion. I want no part in that and will stop here before the subjective destroys the thread. | ||

If you like stuff like Lost you are going to love it. If not you are going to love it til you finish watching and then you'll hate it. The animation was amazing for its time, it introduced a lot of concept that were incredibly novel (particulary for those unaware of all that christian mythology) and has a main character which is pretty much the opposite of Goku. And also a lot of, err there's a word for it but i forgot, lets say "hentai hints". It had all the ingredients to be completely great but sadly the plot ends up collapsing. | ||

I would say a strong statement like "brutally crushes and dissects what was a popular premise and genre" deserves to be backed up, right? | ||

The first two are already out... third one in a couple of months. I wouldn't necessarily call them a 'remake' though... we'll see what happens with the last two...

Interesting stuff that ends up being smoke and mirrors for a writer that tried to do more than he was able to. It has a lot of suspense. that leads to nowhere and action, that leads to nowhere. In fact when they released the movie to fix the EXTREMELY RETARDED ENDING they actually gave the people some papers explaining a lot of stuff they were totally unable to explain in the actual show. If you like stuff like Lost you are going to love it. If not you are going to love it til you finish watching and then you'll hate it. I don't agree. Lost pissed me off, and Eva didn't. | ||

Few vague memories I recall: - EVA01 had a mind of it's own in order to protect Shinji, in essence it was an angel itself - The Dummy program which only worked once in order to shutdown Eva03 - Rei Ayanami was really weird - Asuka's Eva was destroyed by the U.N. models they developed in 'Death'? Now I got a headache from trying to recall the storyline | ||

so I did not look upon Neon Genesis kindly at all but later on in life as a young adult who had just recently been through a traumatic experience in the military... I discovered Neon Genesis. And grew to appreciate it for the masterpiece it truly is. That is all. | ||

First picture in a while to make me seriously LOL. Hilarious hahahaha. I just remember watching this show as a kid and wondering wtf the last few episodes were even about. I may rewatch the series again to feel the same nostalgia some of you do, but I thought they were annoying to say the least. If I wanted to listen to angst and misery I would just watch overacting women on Korean soaps | ||

The first two-thirds of the story is actually really great. Interesting characters, storyline, artwork and the creativity is cool. And the female characters are hot. But things start to become really really weird after that and it becomes very distasteful to watch. It's not an adult story, but theres too much violence and sex, and shinji, the emo pussy main character, is so un-main character-like throughout the whole story, its frustrating. Theres so much depression and angst and misery..its hard to keep up without feeling down yourself. Also, the characters' names are taken from Japanese WWII era naval ships, which I find very reprehensible because of the ideological extremism and bloodshed that the 1940's japan represents. It's like naming the characters of a TV show after the names of al-qaeda leaders or lexicon. | ||
