Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Even though I was born in the same era this was mildly popular, it has taken me this long(2023) to finally buckle down and watch this series for the first time with adult eyes. I am not 100% blind as I have just learn thru mitosis of what people say around me about plot points, meme captions, and the constant reminders of "oh this series is dark, its edgy, theres heavy topics." While I have always had those thoughts in the back in my mind, I still have to say that for the majority of my time watching this, I still enjoyed the ride. While I understandthat the director/creator was dealing through some tough times as the show was nearing its end, I understand the clear messages he was trying to convey. I appreciate it more as an adult, as im sure the topics would just fly over my head as a 10 year old boy that simply appreciates "Oh boy, giant robots beating the bad guys!">
I will have to say, these are heavy topics, and im kind of not surprised by the doomer culture/doom and gloom that my generation has at the moment. No wonder so many of my age group are depressed, myself included.

Prepare for the worst
