How good is evangelion?
| Very nice animation quality IMO
| Some treat this universe religiously. And that says a lot.
| Seriously though - putting visuals aside I think all the three movies are worth watching, the latter two bring lots to the plot.
| If you liked the original series, you need to watch End. The first two rebuild movies are a another, slightly more mainstream-shounen take on the first six episodes of the show; the third is Anno screwing with people who liked the first two.
| Evangelion is the evangelion of anime
| Every evangelion fan needs to watch End (for better or worse)

Fox is a stupid ass character and anyone who thinks otherwise should take their head outta their butts.
| If they removed shinji it could have been awesome
| >>135488 Apparently they were thinking of having Asuka be the mc. Not sure how true this is, read it online
| Waste of time
| >>136081 This was at the very initial stage, even before starting production. The character wasn't Asuka but instead an another girl Sadamoto later described as being "Asuka-like". He feared that it would have been too similar to Gainax's previous productions.
| >>136271 Another interesting tidbit about evangelion is that Anno himself had very little interest in Rei. He has himself said that many episodes don't show Rei at all simply because he had completely forgotten about her at the time of writing them. He was later dumbfounded by the role the fandom had given for her.
| It's a fanservice/fanhate show that's both a parody of mecha tropes and a celebration of them. Draws heavily off of Jewish mysticism for its plot and naming conventions. Also contains boobs.
It's insane that it exists. Even more insane that it's popular.
I love it.
| The Series is great, but the movies did not convince me so far.
