Shin Seiki Evangelion
In the year 2015, the Angels, huge, tremendously powerful, alien war machines, appear in Tokyo for the second time. The only hope for Mankind's survival lies in the Evangelion, a humanoid fighting machine developed by NERV, a special United Nations agency. Capable of withstanding anything the Angels can dish out, the Evangelion's one drawback lies in the limited number of people able to pilot them. Only a handful of teenagers, all born fourteen years ago, nine months after the Angels first appeared, are able to interface with the Evangelion. One such teenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstrom of battle and events that he does not understand, Shinji is forced to plumb the depths of his own inner resources for the courage and strength to not only fight, but to survive, or risk losing everything. (Source: AniDB) Note: Later releases include edited versions of Episodes 21-24 called the "Director's Cut" with some visual editing and adding extra scenes that appeared in the theatrical recap 'Death'.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is closer to being _the_ classic of anime than anything else in the medium. The amount of debate that follows Evangelion is absurd, from the controversial ending of the TV series, Asuka vs. Rei (clearly Asuka is better), to the craziness of End of Evangelion, discussion follo…
Read full review on AniList →Everyone seems to have to watch Evangelion at some point, if for nothing else, so that they can wax philosophical about it. I avoided Evangelion for a long time as I had heard that the director had a lot of mental issues he was dealing with at the time, as well as the anime running out of budget n…
Read full review on AniList →Update (30-8-2021)- to anyone who reads this review- I wrote it immediately when I finished the series; I guess a year ago, and some negative remarks I made about the show didn't age well in my own eyes, and exist due to me being extremely frustrated with the show. And while I still stand with a lot…

Though, the anime doesn't really focus on the mecha as much as the psychological aspects of the show which shapes the story and allows the narrative to progress forward.

Read full review on AniList →I finally finished the entire Evangelion saga, including the sequel/remake, and I have to say—it’s an absolute masterpiece of cinema! From start to finish, Evangelion weaves a complex narrative that explores the depths of human emotion, the psyche, and the existential struggles of its characters. It…

Read full review on AniList →I've had conflicted feelings watching Evangelion. It starts fairly lighthearted (at least in comparison to the grim and depressing atmosphere it creates later on), the characters are mostly likable (exception noted for Asuka, but I won't deny empathy and sympathy for her!) and the series overall fee…
Read full review on AniList →I absolutely hate Neon Genesis Evangelion. I think it's written absolutely atrociously. One good thing I have to say about this series is that the Rebuilds and even End of Evangelion, to an extent, are much better. Sadly, Eva itself does not hold up. In this review I will highlight points and explai…

Read full review on AniList →Hideaki Anno is a bit of an underappreciated director. Now, normally that statement would be guffawed at, not taken seriously, and genuinely looked down upon as the ramblings of someone so absurdly new to anime they haven't heard the man's name. But, when I say underappreciated, I mean look at the p…
