Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Please read the first two lines! I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys have heard that this anime is Psychological and Philosophical, it is True BUT it is noting like Death Note or ... (you would find it boring) THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILER and it's a little harsh, it contains like 3 no-no-words so if words like "crap" makes you traumatized and you'll need a psychiatrist bc of it, don't read this review! (i swear this review rules are so stupid) This anime is boring and it's full of pathetic Characters which I'm going to shit over all of them, bear with me! Have you watched Serial ExperimentsLain? well, this anime has the same sort of dialogues, it's full of stupid nonsense cliché sentences, things like:
"I'm me","I'm nothing but I'm something" and... (you get the point), I mean what does that even mean?!! it's not philosophical! it's nonsense and devoid of any deep meaning
You know one of the things that makes a character interesting is their objective goals but in this anime a few people have it
Story:
"This is such a deep and thought provoking anime with amazing characters and heavy symbolism and..."
this is something we all heard before watching this anime (at least this is how i got tricked) and it is true, there is a deep message in this anime and that message is how fucking low is our standards that a boring ass anime like this is generally considered masterpiece
the story is as confusing as it get but people can't be honest about it, can anyone make sense out of last 4 episode? why did Rei suddenly become as big as a damn planet?
i can't really figure things out, why shinji's father never thinks out loud? every damn time i see him he is in a gesture that indicates he is thinking yet not even once we hear his thoughts
btw the symbolism for (adam and eva) and (ego and id and superego) were extremely cheesy
Soundtracks and opening:
Some people liked the opening and chances are you will too but personally i hate it, Rei is again naked in opening it's so annoying
Art:
Utter trash, there is a scene where shinji is trying to open an eva and it looks like he has parkinson disease, i don't care this is an old anime
Characters:
-Shinji
Shinji is simply the most pathetic-so called hero-of ALL anime characters Ever, he is disgusting, he is a self-loathing loser and he remains that way until the end of the show usually when the main character is weak -through the series- they develop, they learn to grow, like Tokyo Ghoul, we enjoy it because it shows change is possible for us too, but in the case of Shinji we learn NOTHING!
he doesn't pilot Evas to save humanity, he Pilots it so daddy finally admires him I'm serious this is the only reason he exists here
he constantly cries why his father is disappointed in him, his daddy issue problems exceed Madonna and Katy Perry's and he is 90% of the time is running away from piloting Evas (side note: I really hated it personally because we all knew he is going to come back again like a Dog, literally a failed attempt to get us sympathize with this wimpy maggot)
OH! in case I didn't mention, he likes to masturbate at unconscious women and to kiss them while they are sleep as well, I swear to Kira I never hated a character so much
-Rei
At first glance I was like: "finally some cool and Badass character" But it didn't last much!
she is a puppet by her own choice and says she is not a Puppet!
she is a loner by her own choice and says she is not happy about it, it's unrealistic considering her characteristics, When a Loner is lonely by free will and doesn't like loneliness, Anger comes out, so Asuka's Loneliness is Justified because we see hostility in her behavior toward others despite the fact that it is just an attempt to get noticed
BUT Rei is not Angry or a Pushover, she is simply an introvert and that's it, she can connect to others like that wimpy Shinji but chose not to
and half of the show she is naked for NO FUCKING REASON!
to put it simply she is a Moronic robot
-Asuka
I didn't understand her a lot, I mean what the hell was her problem? did she love shinji or not? she is a moron who could be happy but didn't want that, but to be fair her actions suited the personality she had, she wasn't pathetic unlike that Shinji
-Misato
It's kinda unfair to call her a Pedo! But it is TOTALLY fair to call her a Prostitute!, her kiss with shinji was just an emotional support she give to him, considering the environment they've been in she wasn't taking advantage or anything but overall not a memorable character
-Pen Pen!
Yeah! there is a penguin in this anime and it doesn't represent or symbolizes anything (except the writer's little brain!)
-Kaworu
an Angelic fag! BOY DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!

Conclusion:
There are Better anime to watch, I guarantee it! save this shit for last
