Review of Neon Genesis Evangelion

When I watched it for the first time I quit after the first episode and I thought "an anime power rangers, a waste of time I guess" but came back to it two months later and decided to be a bit more patient and watched it through completely and did not regret it whatsoever. Now I have rewatched it the 2nd time for my review so here it goes. The story was amazing, it was complex with very good worldbuilding though a bit abstract, had good pacing, and was pretty consistent. The atmosphere, the tone, the themes, were all remarkable and well created though the actionwas a bit lacking and undeserved. It has a confusing and slow start but starts making sense as time goes on even though at the end of the series it does leave out some questions still. Oh and the amount of hints and hidden messages in this anime is ridiclous so it's proably a good idea you pay very close attention to it.

The characters are probably one of the most interesting aspects of this anime. They all have flaws that are similiar to one another and in some ways the cause of their flaws comes from a single antagonist. They are well written and some of them had some development throughout the series.

The sound was amazing and the music was really well done. The intro and outro will forever be legendary. The sound choices were well though of and the music tone in certain scenes were very good. The visuals were pretty good considering the time it came out in it. Being quiet similar to Cowboy Bepop in terms of artstyle and animation. The character designs, the facial expressions all well done.

Overall a very enjoyable anime. The deepest and most depressing anime I have ever seen. It made me feel a way that I have never felt before. A classic anime..and one that you should definelty watch!
