I never been a huge fan but man they rely trying to milk EVA?

You know, the way you've worded it makes it funny considering what Eva units actually are.

-What was your experience with Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995)?

I thought the show was just okay, it's a slice of heaven for some, but a jar of dirt to others.

I thought the show was just okay, it's a slice of heaven for some, but a jar of dirt to others.

I'm not a religious person but I'm a bit bored of the whole "religion is a blight to humanity, preventing him from evolving" trope we're getting in animes and other media.


Sure, the idea of the Church being led by corrupt people has always been a good subject to tackle (especially if the world is set in the middle ages before Martin Luther) yet has been tired beyond recognition.

As for Evangelion I do like the aesthetic but at the same time the "angels" aren't even the biblical ones, just out-worldly aliens that are called as such.

Finally I'm also getting a bit tired of seeing once again a Shinji being depressed and whining about his condition, as if he was never allowed to evolve as a person.

I don't know if my take is hot or not (not that I care) but for me the series ended with this

Anything else is either an alternative timeline or isn't canon to my eyes. No hospital scene (why was this a thing?), no Asuka getting her eye pierced, no Rei becoming giant and naked (lol), no choking in the beach, no turning into soup, nothing!
