Well, Evangelion

Watched it way back then as a kid. I couldn't remember anything except for the cute girl pilots.
I felt the urge to watch the series all over. So I did. There are 26 episodes plus the other movies, so that's nearly twelve hours of my time.

A usual theme: Humans advancing technology and playing God. It is rather disturbing that scientists become slaves to some sick organization just because of funding concerns.

The story starts great but ends in a really fucked up way. It is very entertaining in the beginning with all the action and character relationships. But, really, I hate the way it ended.

The anime is sick. It is even sicker than Yagami Light. The series contains blood, gore, violence, and sex.

It is meant to be confusing. Talk about philosophy. I know it is good exercise for the mind, but really...

A quote from Assistant Director Kazuya Tsurumaki, "If a person who can already live and communicate normally watches it, they won't learn anything."
Maybe I can live and communicate normally. Hmm...

Shinji is one of the douchiest anime characters of all time. If he was created to annoy me, he accomplished his mission and more.
It reminds me of Light. Relative to Shinji, Light is better off since he is someone who knows what he wants and does what he has to in order to obtain it.
Light is a motivated person. Shinji is a douche.

My own reaction:
Do not, under any circumstance, watch it for entertainment. It is only entertaining for the first parts so watching it fully may be upsetting.
On the brighter side, this anime is still good since it is way better than Naruto Shippuuden. With Eva, you don’t have to wait an eternity for a fight scene to finish.

This is a 'hypothetical' Evangelion Live Action Movie Trailer. The scenes from different movies are too obvious. And, oh yes, Streght? What the hell is that?
