Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

If you like anime, you must've heard about, or seen, this show. Release in the middle of the ninetees, this mecha show had an impact that doesn't get rid in the last twenty years, but why?what makes this show so awesome? The mechas, robots piloted by humans, is a genre who had a golden age in the eightes in Japan thanks to the success of shows like Macross fronteir or the first series from the Gundam franchise. Since then, the mecha was a genre really popular, and when evangelion realease, it needed afresh air. Evangelion gave it. Gave the public an amazing story, with realistic charactersand situations, and prove than the action series with teenager main characters can be mature and depth. This is why the show had the impact it had.
Why is still relevant? The legacy of this show is still clear: the presence of teen angst, the cliches created from the characters...but this show it aged very well: the animation is still amazing, and the intro, cruel angel thesis, has a few songs since it that can compare to it.
