Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Overrated Garbage. Maybe this was as innovative and entertaining in the world of 1995, but this just does not age well in my opinion. The characters are really not that likable and all have their issues. This show is literally just each and one of them crying about their issues with psychedelic imagery like a teenager on the verge of cutting their wrists. I guess it's supposed to appeal to teenagers because this is supposedly normal, but this is just not entertaining. The "thought-provoking" aspects of this show completely felt like a nothingburger and only made me question, "People actually like this shit?". Thefights. The fights have aged like milk. They're short, and really not that interesting. If you wanted to watch some mecha fights, this is not the show to go to. Maybe you can kind of piece together what the angels mean, and the whole plot... but honestly this overthinking is just going make you believe that this show is really cooking up something special for you to have to question just about everything. It's not.

The ending is absolutely abysmal and will confuse most watchers both in art direction and plot. The show attempts to be abstract and expects the audience to interpret it like it is some profound piece of work.

This show is just "modern art" in the form of an anime. It expects a few splatters a paint on a blank canvas ought to sell well to someone stupid enough to pay ridiculous mind to.
