Yeah, watch it. You'll probably enjoy it since you always have that sad face emoticon. I was depressed as fuck when I watched it (first anime I watched, cause of the thread on TL and cause I was depressed) and it was great, kind of just depressed me more though lol. I got my shit sorted eventually though.

Author's intent pretty important mang.
Also, I told myself I'd watch the TV series before I finished my 300th entry on MAL, and since I just finished #294, I think I'm gonna get started soon.

Yeah, but honestly the intent doesn't matter. The effect does. A lot of very talented people work really hard to produce terrible anime, but you don't sing their praises. Conversely, if Evangelion became a masterpiece by accident, that shouldn't make any difference either.
I'm in the camp who saw the show when it debuted, thought it was meh, and put it away. When I rewatched it years later, I realized how much I had missed. You might say it isn't deep, but I feel like all of Eva's depth is organic and comes from the characters' natural behavior or little things thrown in randomly, as you mentioned. It forces you to pay attention and rewards you for doing so. Other series often attempt to recreate this atmosphere, but can't, because when it's overly manufactured it comes off like teenage angst.

Don't know about "deep", but the thing I love most about Evangelion is how much stuff ends up unexplained/up to your own interpretation. Even in interviews, when Anno is asked for clarification on certain insignificant events in the story, he's like "lolnope". It's a series that will stay on your mind forever.
