Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Even if your not that into mecha you probably heard of this series, well you should, everyone needs to watch it even for culture purposes lol ok no. This is not an anime about heroes, it's not about typical characters nor a predictable ending. It's a suspense story where thin mechas and giant aliens come into play, along with a government sponsored organization that is doing some experiments that are all tied to one big dark project that may change the course of life as we know it. Now that we have that let's add an emotional boy who has some adolescent crisis and issues withhis dad but maybe it's more psychological intricate than that.

The story is great, but the pacing is very uneven and unnecessarily complex at times, the art is amazing, specially in the 'monsters' and mecha designs. The sound does it for the psychological parts as well for the battles and tension scenes. Characters are again complex, having all of them different reasons or motivation to play a role in NERV and a different perception of the occurrences in the time of the story.

If you come here to watch an action mecha you'll be disappointed, instead you'll find a series where mechas are important but not the main element of it. This series takes religious and scientific matters to a point where we can't be sure if they are being too serious about it to start off. It has very awesome ups, and some really sad downs, but all of it serves for a different experience brought to you by Gainax. By the way, some subjects are based from Top Wo Neare: Gunbusters. this is a series you'll love or hate, but always give it a proper try.
