Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

After four years, I rewatched Evangelion. My first impression of it was like "Wow old anime with big robots, I like it". Then I gradually began to ask more and more questions about the plot and narrative. I ended up with "WTF am I watching" and "It`s maybe the most overrated thing I`ve ever watched". Then I found out about budget problems and about the movie "The End of Evangelion". Nothing got better, even worse I gave it a six, nothing more It was in 2021Now, in 2025 I decided to rewatch this two.
I just knew what I am about to see, and was ready.
The original anime (26 ep.) pleasantly surprised me. Back in time I just didn`t want to watch something like this.
Evangelion is not just about mechas, and fights, you need to be ready before watching this. If you are happy human who is satisfied with their life, probably there is nothing for you, but it doesn`t mean you can`t watch Evangelion, just don`t expect something familiar.
Now I can say for sure that original Evangelion is something more, than mecha anime, something that can resonate with people.
It combines many features and ideas, it is worth watching, but only consciously, better not to start your immersion in the genre or in anime at all with Evangelion.

But the movie, it`s something I still don`t like
I will write a new review specially on the movie WITH SPOILERS, because it`s simply stupid and don`t fetch to the story.
Last two episodes of original series are much better than a movie.
