I remember I watched the whole series 4 years ago...It freaked me out back then, and still does.

Ugh...Evangelion was so damn good until the ending...I don't care what they or anyone else says...it got botched pretty badly.
The new movie series is pretty awesome, though. I can't wait for it to complete!

End Of Evangelion was the intended original episodes 25 and 26.
What was aired was the character's thoughts and processes throughout the second half of the movie.
It's recommended that you watch the original two, the movie, and then the the original two again to make better sense of it.

For me eva will always rank high just for nostalgia value alone. Re-watching it i notice the flaws but they just dont matter to me. Eva is really one of those that you love it or you hate it, no middle ground it seems. Kinda like that first car or love, while you may move on to bigger or better you will always have fond memorizes. Also remember being a hardcore Shinji x Asuka shipper back in the day. Love or hate you cant though you cant deny the huge impact is has had on the anime genre.

I remember watching a movie of this when I was about 9. It made no sense to me because the timeline kept moving around. It would start out as "10 years ago" then "3 years in the future" then "25 minutes ago" then "2 seconds later" etc.

The first two-thirds of the story is actually really great. Interesting characters, storyline, artwork and the creativity is great. 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.
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. omfg so fucking true.
It is not. It is such an insane close minded commentarie.
Like 80 fking percent of the fictional stories take something of the fking reality, religion, philosophy, phisics, whatever, and take those to a hilarious totally crazy, weird level.
Then you can take that unreal stuff, accept that "world" or just not watch it.
And about NGE the way the characters are is how the series is. If you only accept non-pussy characters as main, then feel sorry for that closed thought. Of curse more active main character could be more natural or interesting, but the whole series parts just fits the story. It's pretty simple, you can take it or not. Eg: my mother can't fking take a single science fiction movie, she just can't get in their head all the fantasy/unreal/futuristic stuff. Oh and your comment about how annoys you the character names taken from the naval ships is another proof of a certain level of limited spectrum (don't feel offended, every person have limited spectrum for certain things. I can't fking take horror movies, are so freaking dumb!).

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 have a hard time with why so many people consider Evangelion a "heavy" series. The last episodes were weird because Sega cut their funding (the episode with the badly drawn Game Gear advertizement marked when Sega cut funding). They did the best they could with what they had to bring what was definitely the best giant robot anime ever to an end...
I mean really what can you expect. They had NOTHING left to finish it with. They had to use something... so the last few episodes are what you get...
It's a beautiful series though rushed finish or not. A+ as far as anime is concerned.

Except that the creator himself has defended the ending like it's a masterpiece when it's not.
He never said something like..."eh we had little cash so it's not as good as we planned.." No..the ending is as intended and it's awful.
Also I have a hard time seeing Eva as a mecha anime...I mean yea it had giant robots but they seemed more like a uh...side effect of the plot or something.
Then again I dislike Eva quite a lot. I consider it one of the most overhyped anime of all time. I do however see why some people would like it. It's just not for me.

I always thought this was a hentai. Is it not the one where the chick in a red suit that flies a gundam gets raped by tentacles when she pilots it and stuff?

It was probably a doujinshi/fanfic.

No that's part of the show. It's how Asuna gets owned in EoE or one of the other ova remakes I don't even remember.

That part is so bad and needlessly cruel, I like the masturbation part better (that one makes the most sense to me compared to all the terrible shit that is EoE).
