Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

回 Super Brief Anime Review: Is a brief review of Evangelion even possible >< In my view Evangelion presents a story who's spiritual ideals rest in Eastern Philosophy, where as the psychology of the mind rest in the west, primary Freudian psychology – it is the dramatic representation of Freud's theories that lend to much of this anime's strangeness. One of the most controversial animes of all time the disparity of opinion ranks two places higher than that of Bondage Game o.O (A disturbing Hentai don't google it). Becoming highly metaphysical by the end of the series ones views on the anime are goingto be colored first by whether they can understand underlining messages {No simple task as Hideaki Anno
himself admitted some of it is just meaningless imagery!} and secondly if this message agrees with ones core views. Thus if one can't understand the message or doesn't agree with it all that's left is Freud's outdated theories, purposely used for their absurdity to contrast better with Eastern thought, and that will leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Love it or hate it these are going to be, for most, ones only choices – obviously I think there's something true in the message.
But if there's ever an anime that simply must be seen to call yourself an anime fan, this is it. - Enjoy the ride XD
