I love it. All the characters are so "real", they have issues, problems, etc. I'm currently watching it my second time through. I love the action combined with drama and bursts of comedy.

The movies pretty much made the series lose all sense. Though, they did provide a slightly better closure to the series.

The final movie was great, but it had a sad, ambiguous ending...I hate sad, ambiguous endings

well, I watched the first half of the " The End of Evangelion" and that part where Asuka and her EVA was attacked by the 12 EVA series... and she destroys them and then somehow that Lance came straight at her and stabbed the Eva in the face.. and the gross part came when the EVA Series starting to eating up the EVA02... man.. and I dont understand why they were making the EVA Series and stuff.. I got real confused

i'd say skip it. it's not worth the hype. however if you like watching a bunch of 14 year olds B*tch and try to save the world (something that was played out BEFORE evangelion) you might be able to stomach it.

i like a solid story, not one where i have to fill everything in. i also don't get my philosophical introspection from anime either so i had no appetite for most of what is served in evangelion.

The movie was sick. The part where Misato is dying and then the floor she is on explodes is dope because if your DVD is pimp and you can play things frame by frame, you can see Misato blow apart in two pieces. Then when Asuka's Eva is pierced in the head with the fake Lance, they show her pulling on the controls, but if you look closely you can see blood poor out of her left eye socket.
That series does start out pretty cool, but then all the characters begin to have mental break-downs and by the end of the series they are all crazed in the head. I still don't get the ending of the Movie though, where Shinji is choking Asuka and then begins crying and stops. I saw a fan sub version that when Asuaka says something it says "I feel sick." In the North American release it says "disgusting". I don't know which one is more correct. I noticed in the last scene that she is bandaged up just like Rei was in the first episode and has Misato's eye color. I think and it seems to be a popular belief that Misato, Asuka and Rei were combined into one person, Asuka.
Someone told me that she was pregnant, but I didn't believe it, and that Shinji and her are going to restart the human race like an Adam and Eve thing, but I don't believe that either. I remember Rei saying that if the other humans can imagine their form and want to return that they would regain their AT field and become human again, or else they would stay in that sea of LC-whatever fluid until then.
I also noticed that the scene with Gendo, Rei and Dr. Akagi where Gendo says something but it's silenced out, in the fan subbed version there was the word "no" displayed next to his head as I guess his answer to Dr. Akagi's question, but in the US release it doesn't show anything. I don't know if it was in the original movie, but it didn't look like a normal sub-title but like it was a layer in the film and it was original.
Sorry for the long winded post, but those are some questions I still had, but everything else made sense. I've watched the series a dozen times along with the movie and Death/Rebirth.

EDIT: they used to have it on a PBS station where I live too. Rahxephon is similar to Eva, but then goes on it's own twist, you'd probably like that anime just as much as Eva or more so.

evangelion sucks ... i just like the soundtracks .. it cannot compare to rahxephon
plus the ending was weak becuase the creator was in prison for tax evasion so they ruined the series at the end thats what lost my interest.

I like that animate, although it is a bit of weird. Probably most of the people say it sucks because it is long, and bored. It took me nearly 3 hours to finish it the whole 26 episodes.


The part I remember the most is when the angel eats other angel and take the parts in and grow out. fear2.gif Scary it is.

After eating angel

By the way, does anyone know what's the theme called? I forgot to write it down... whistling.gif

Thanks killer, because I need it to find the lyrics to understand what it means. YES i am that bored... dry.gif

The creator must used the other side of his mind to creat this....you won't know much until you finish with the series....because it jumps alot and its getting more confused at the end of the series. Like where to episode 20.
