Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

I am gonna keep it simple and short. This anime back in those times was a revelation, there was nothing like it. It set the benchmarks for a psychological show and it still holds up. That being said Evangelion is nothing special till you have watched half the show already. I was on the verge of dropping it because I watched many shows like Evangelion before, I was late to pick up this anime despite it being the most iconic anime of the 90s. If you start your anime journey with this anime then its a 10/10 for you but I didnt quite find itgood till I reached episode 16. But I have to say that after that this show is a masterpiece. I still wouldnt rate this a 10 because the worldbuilding in the first half didnt really feel important to me after watching the entire series. Evangelion is a different show before episode 14 and thats really saying it because you get a summary of what happens before in episode 14. That summary is enough for you to catch up on the anime, you wouldnt really miss anything I feel like so I would like to talk about its later half.
The second half is where the anime really picks up. It changes from a generic mecha show to a pyschological horror and existensial crisis. You cant really explain what is happening to anyone who hasnt watched the show, you just have to watch it yourself. Its definitely worth picking up this anime even after 30 years.
