Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

-Reuploaded- THIS IS INCREDIBLE. BUT not incredible as the people putting less than a 6. I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU MAYBE DIDN'T LIKE IT, BUT LESS THAN A 6? DID YOU UNDERSTAND SOMETHING? DID YOU FEEL THE FEELINGS OF THE CHARACTERS? Ok, chill. I will explain, with some spoilers but not much tho. The Story might still be something a bit difficult but is not impossible. If you didn't understand it at once, you can watch it again and undestand, you can watch some 20' min explanation and undestand, you can reed a summary and carry on. It's a good story. It's not the best plot, but the real thingare the characters.
The end might be some problem, with too many hard explanations togheter BUT it's nothing than a scare, it's not that difficult after some explaining hehe

The Gainax summit, it's one of the most important shonnen/mecha's animes ever made, but the Story is deeper than that, is not about mechas, it's about people, feelings (And I will talk it a bit).

The Art it's just epic and very cool. I do like very much the characters design and how they managed to make the lower-cost scenes in something more artistic than almost all anime out there. The direction it's magnific, you'll always want more, want to see what happen after the ''will continue'' after the cut in the end of the episode. Also, the sound it's great, but has some problems in ''Netflix's version'' (because they ommited the Ending). VERY SAD, NETFLIX.

It's a story about a boy whose dad didn't love him and whose mom died. It's about how a lonely boy changes his life against his will.
The characters, all of them, are HUMANS. They are HUMANS. People don't like it because, probably, they feel like them. The people that hate SHINJI it's because they are like them. Asuka it's like him, and due to that she hates him, she mirrors her in him. They have a lot of real psychology, in part, thanks to the problems Hideoki Anno had to pass through. And thats thogh, but real.

-- Character opinion expanded, with more SPOILERS (better if u already watched it) --

The problems and the feelings of the characters make you sympathize with them:

Shinji was a depressed and lonely boy, who had to do things agains his will, without people who love him. With the main problem on the hedgehog dilemma and his family-traumas caused by his father.
Asuka was challenging, independent and energetic. She hides her lonely, her low confidense and how much she needed people's acceptance and love because the traumas she had after her mother ****. She search love directly contrary to shinji who made it indirectly. She hates Shinji for that, she mirrors herself in him. In addition that she was disappointed in him, because he didn't love her the way she wanted.
Rei was lonely, had many sexual harassment and for that a suicidal behaviors. She couldn't make what she want. She needed real love and being truly her, a new person and not a tool nor a reborn of someone else. She tries to learn how to feel and be.
Misato was lonely, with a lot of stress and daddy issues or a bit of electra complex. She always avoids deep relationships and keeps them shallow, with a bit of nymphomania -trying to refill her loneliness-.
Kaji was a good secundary character too. I didn't know if hating him because the toxic he is to Misato, hating Misato because the toxic she is with Kaji or just love both. Kaji didn't appear too much, but when appears he changes the scene. He refilled the male figure Misato AND asuka needed.

Shinji WINS but instead of feeling like a WINNER PERSON, they use him like a GOOD WEAPON. He DON'T want to kill but HIS FATHER makes him kill. Shinji is only 15 YEARS OLD. He didn't even know what he wanted in life, his sexual orientation, what was happening to his mind and body. He suffer because of that, but still learn something. People hate them because they aren't goku, they don't win always. THEY CRY. Continue.

Ikari it's a good ''enemy''. He used all the people, he was machiavelic. Ruins shinji's mind, uses Rei and Ritsuko all the time. Had some weird bdsm with ritsuko plus is a sexual stalker, with a lot of mind issues, lot of ambitious and crazyness.

-- END OF SPOILERS --

One more time making 90's anime the best anime? Probably.

THIS IS A MUST.
