Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Just watch it. If you can see that plot is only a skeleton here for everything else, awesome, you'll probably love it. If you can't, then just ignore it and don't write a scathing review about how much you hate Shinji, no one cares anymore. Part of Eva's purpose is to look at y'all in the eyes & say, "Why are you jacking off to 12 year old girls. Why. Stop." And then the director has to literally spell it out for you in the final movie, & some people STILL don't get it. smh. Animation sucks cuz they ran out of money & it's the90s, but they do well to make everything purposeful (or at least seem purposeful, as if there's a difference).
The characters are deconstructions of anime archetypes. Rei is MEANT to be creepy. Asuka is MEANT to be annoying. Shinji is MEANT to be a bitch. And then this weird thing called development happens.
The dub is pretty much garbage; I dunno if the sub sounds good just cuz I don't understand Japanese or if it's actually good.
This isn't a "smart" anime, as if you can call something that and not sound like a pretentious fuckwad. Just watch it & enjoy it. The director literally doesn't care about what you think of it, & that's pretty clear when you watch it.

kaoru & shinji are in love and shinji is bi
