Evangelion... or however its spelled

Eva should be a REQUIRED anime, no ifs, ands, or buts. Like the others before me stated, Eva is one of the most brilliant masterpieces in animation history. The characters are developed extremely well. They will draw you into the Eva world and make their pain and joy seem so real. The plot is easy to follow for the most part (until the end), and then it makes you do some research. It seems rather shallow at first, but it is really unique and very intricate under that shallow facade. The references, both religious and other, are absolutely stunning. This is the part that you will have to do a lot of research on. I'm still learning new things about it every day. You will discover what the references point to, and that will just add to the flow of the story.

Get Eva. Don't waste a second thinking otherwise.

(Yes...I am THE Eva fanboy and damn proud of it.

I think it's worth it.

I read so much material on Eva I could already talk about it comfortably without seeing a single episode. Oddly enough, the more I spoiled it for myself, the more I really wanted to see it.

It's an anime you have to think about in order to appreciate what the heck is going on.

It's something pretty much everyone is ought to see for themselves...

The up/down side?

It's a love-it-or-hate-it thing, yea.

Without making any assumptions about your current anime tastes, in general (from my observation) the ratio of people who like it to those who hate it is about 60:40 or even 55:45. And even if there's less of them, those who hate it REALLY hate it.

So, suit yourself. It's very deceptive, particularly mid-series, as far as its' true nature. Just when you think it's another (albeit cool) mecha anime, it goes into episodes upon episodes of blatant headfuck and psychological drama/horror.

I want to see it very much myself, although I'm reisting the urge to buy it until Renewel comes out...

Lone Wolf is part of the "OMG WTF EVA IS THE SHIT" post eva viewing camp. As for rah, if you can get volume 1 with the box, it's worth it.

I would definetly recommend watching Eva. I haven't finished it in English yet so I don't fully understand the end but I have a good idea. That gives away that the ending is real mindbender, but yes, definetey watch it.

I don't like Eva.

That being said, I highly reccomend you watch it

ok here's how badly eva has affected, changed and formed me. one time i was geting lectured by my principal at school and my mum had bein brought in. it got realy emotional , started crying, put my back down and my head between legs and started saying "i dont wana die" over and over again. it was realy wierd. and ive had all tehy's otehr "eva moments". also, i constantly think about eva so much that im not even contios of it most of the time. its wierd, its taken me over. Neon Genesis Evangelion. its not an anime, its an experience

8) I love Neon Genesis Evangelion. I just dont understand the anime fascination with cryptic and confusing endings.

I didnt have a problem with end of EVA but I could certainly see where alot of people would.

If you like mecha type animes I recommend it. But the ending might give you a headache.
