Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Since many already know about this show, I will keep it short and simple. The show doesn't give a definitive conclusion. For that you need to watch End of Evangelion which is basically alternative re-telling of the story. Coming back, the show Animation quality is 10/10, art style is just perfect because it's cel shaded and passionately made. Soundtracks esp OP/ED are simply superb and you will watch the OP and ED so many times for sure and the score is also pretty much well made. Characters are what this show is all 100% about. So pay some attention to it, I like Misato most of all,she is written very well, at least for me. As for the protagonist, Shinji is not that great of a Man. And also women in this show are too emotional. Manhood should go to Kaji no question. Without Misato this show is nothing to me.

So this is show is all about mecha during the first half but to near ending they made it into a complete emotional rollercoaster on acid too dynamic. Be warned it will be a lot to digest. The ending is not that fantastic but I would like to mention since we have two ending options one being the TV show and the second being End of Evangelion which I guess is ok.

It's probably a cult classic, not a great show by any means if you are looking for something like Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor movies. But you will find entertainment value for sure.

7/10 is my rating for this show to keep me glued to it wondering about the mysticism and the end is pretty much too overwhelming. Since there's no plot basically here and more of an art showcase. Even if I factor in EoE.

Oh also the negative aspect is it takes a bit lot from the religious aspects which I think is a serious flaw in this show which deviates it's explanation and more intricate story foundation than sticking up to abrahamic religious aspects.

Also if you ask me what is the ending approach, I would give my preference, after watching TV show full 26 episodes and then End of Evangelion, it's pretty much EP 24 + End of Evangelion then EP 25, 26 esp the ending part of EP 26. Or you can ignore all of that and stick with EoE.
