Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Story: It was a good and very promising story until episode 14. Then it just threw you in the bath full of water and you woke up wet all over with a face wondering WTF happened? The story is inconsistent, but interesting. Story development: Until episode 14 it was developing very good and it was asking for some dramatic change, but it went bazzurk and did something that nobody could expect and failed a bit. Not like after episode 14 the anime becomes bad its just worse then it was. Art: It had too good art for that time ( It first aired in 1995). Hadgreat mecha fights and overall the art is great, but I have to say that one scene in this anime was seriously annoying me. It was the one were Asuka and Rei were driving in the lift and there was no movement or talking for like 40 seconds , I think.

Sound: Good stuff. I loved the beethoven music in one episode and the opening sounded very good too.

Character: Yeah characters in this anime are pretty screwed up. It's hard to say if they are good that way or bad that way. Shinji to me seemed like an interesting protagonist who isn't like the normal protagonists who are typically brave, strong willed, and never give up no matter what. Then again Shinji is kinda too much cowardly and weak, has no desires or ambitions for being even similiar to somebody real, which will definetly annoy some people.
Asuka seemed like an interesting person at start, but somehow she became crazy and weird for no apparent reason. Rei is a robot( well she seems so like 95% of the time).

Character development: Was there any? Only for Shinji I think and I would hardly call it a development. Can't say how he developed, but let's just say that for me it was disapointing.
Other characters seem to regress and not to develop.

Enjoyment: I liked watching evangelion, not because it was a masterpiece ( in some ways it is, but in some it isn't a masterpiece), but because it was a great and entertaining watch. I wouldn't put this anime in my favorites anime list, but it would go right next after my 10 favorite animes and I seriously am glad that I watched this anime, because it widened my sight on what anime can really be.

Overall: Watch this anime not because of of it's mecha, or psychological aspect, but because there isn't any other anime quite like this one. It is a rare pearl in the anime world that differs from all other animes and it might not be the best anime out there, but it is well worth your time to watch it to know what Evangelion really is all about.
