Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion
NGE is that type of show in which a storm of feelings stab you in the back, mostly confusion and sadness, but also joy. The characters are the strong point, and man they may be flat at first, but it's just the tip of the iceberg carrying you onto the ocean of reflection. It's the type of show that sticks you on the wall, tie your hands, and do nasty things, I love that! I forces you to come along with explanation, tangible theory. You need attention for this show. You may want to search for yourself what's really going on after you've watched the end. Thesound design is great, great opening and gloomy piano ending. I loved the cry/shout of the Eva, but like Akira, there's that strange atmosphere during some scenes where you're inside the head of a character.
The animation is also sweet, on point, except for the last 2 eps.
Overall : Excellent, must watch, must experience.
