The final was terrifucking bad. When I saw it when I was a kid, first they showed a series final without 2 special episodes or movies, etc, so you are left in total confusion because you realize something is missing and it's so unclear what happened in between.

Then when I got to see the special episodes: They were terrifucking bad, it wasn't even funny. I admit the series had its good moments, but overall it has no replay value what so ever, unless you are nostalgic. The whole theme about the pilots and their feelings its pretty cheap stuff to be honest, that can be found everywhere these days and it doesn't bring anything to the table, some other animes like Saint Seiya had better drama with regards to this, the good thing is the whole theme about the robots actually being giant humans or if you want to call it that, from a biological origin. That was pretty original but then they tied it to a bible plot, which was somewhat good in some episodes but totally awful in the last episodes, so confusing and complicated, and when you realize what is going on - at this point you probably finished your philosophy pHD - then you realize it was all just a pretty bad plot with not enough action for an anime about robots.

My two cents: don't watch this, there are better ways to waste your time. And no, understanding evangelion will not make you look smart, it only means you wasted a lot of time watching something rather confusing. Oh and Sinji or whatever was his name was a pretty weak character, Solid Snake would break his neck in a heart beat.

I have to admit, the episode about the giant black ball that eats the robot was pretty mysterious and good. But after that all went down the drain. That episode was cool, really, worth to watch.

I laughed so hard. So f***ing hard.

What I don't understand is why this is getting its own thread when it's really, really not going to bring any bit of value. It's going to devolve into people arguing about its depth vs people laughing at those people vs people throwing oil onto the fire.

I'm guessing OP saw SAO funtimes with ADT, then recalled the great flamewar of Eva a few months back and wanted to recreate it. MVP Sentenal is already here but idk where the other side is.

@Nagi: my favorite Eva comic.

I really like NGE, most animes today focus only on fanservice and have 0 substance in them, I know NGE has a lot of fanservice, but its just that, its not the central piece of the story. Im not saying that its "omg so deep", but when I watch it I find it interesting you know, I wanted to keep watching, thats my definition of entertainment.
