Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

--The review may contain spoilers-- (and my grammar might be broken) NGE is one of the most overrated anime series I've watched ever. First of all, I really don't like mechas, but I thought I give this a chance. I didn't like the story(or the storytelling), the characters, and the ending, what was terrible. But this anime is one of the most impact series in anime industry, Then I think I should write a review to show my opinion why I did this to this series) *****Story***** The show was 50% Shinji not doing anything and 50% monster-of-the-week fighting. Each time the kids got hurt and you felt bad forthem. The dad was remorseless and Misato had issues and each episode nothing changed. I barely remember the blonde guy, who was supposed to have a profound impact on Shinji, but from all I can see, he showed up, took a bath with him and died. And Shinji was still depressed.

Then at the end some psychadelic stuff started happening, and the Earth was going to end. But Shinji made a choice that somehow both tied into saving the entire world and also accepting himself as a human, and this coincidental all-or-nothing opportunity made his character perfect and saved the Earth. Actually writing it down it does seem like a really good way to tell a story, but at the time it just made no sense to me.

*****ACTION:*******
Action in this series quite good.Some action scenes have Raw&Blood for making a difference between mature series and Kid series.But for me who really don't like Mecha series It seems like useless, I just feel like Ultraman vs Kaiu hahaha

*****CHARACTERS:*****
This part is one of the points that ruined my enjoyment for NGE, Everyone is annoying and unreasonable.

The characters were interesting but not well-developed in my opinion, or at the least not well-handled. Certain characters had extremely well-done climactic scenes, including but of course not limited to Misato. However, I claim that certain episodes and scenes, such as unneeded bathing scenes, or especially the episode where Asuka has to go to the core of the Earth (or something like that) and inflates like crazy, were a bit hard to swallow. They seemed very exaggerated and out of place.They were very one-note.

Shinji - Shinji is annoying because he is always acts like a crybaby and Shinji was always depressed and while you can say that is a realistic depiction because certainly there are Shinji-like people in the world, it is not a very interesting depiction. I don't think that "depression", "angst" and "rebelling against his father" can make a complete character.

Rei - Rei is annoying because she is always takes side with gendo his master just like
a doll or the bird in a cage.

Asuka - She is the most annoying character in this series.

And some other characters is annoying as well but I won't bring it up to write.

Add-on 1: I accept that NGE is anime which has a lot of impact and change the anime industry at the period of that time but if I have to score it by its own show and not talking about its impact,value,market and the period of time, I can only give it like this.

Add-on 2: If NGE had aired in 2000s' not Fall 1995 I would have scored it lower. Someone might say why?? Think and think and think again!! NGE aired in fall 1995 but Cowboy bebop and Trigun aired in spring 1998 It just only 3 years but can do much better than NGE, But okay someone might say the industry might be upgraded after NGE has come.Then How about Dragon ball - Dragon ball Z or Yu yu Hakusho??

Add-on 3:watch something else that worther than NGE. Cowboy bebop > NGE
