My fucking best friend keeps pushing me to watch Evangellion saying it's the best thing ever and that if I don't he...

>Watch Another. It's much better than Evangelion which is fucking overrated and gay.
Watch Another it's a good show, user. Evangelion is fucking gay and normalfags watch it.

btw this is a troll don't listen to him

Why don't you offer a point or an argument instead of dismissing me as a "troll", you fanboy stupid faggot?

- Evangelion is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi that characters with very different motives and personalities
- The plot is very interesting with some mystery elements
It has mecha fights
- The main character is not your usual shonen hero, so he's a bit realistic
- The two main female characters are interesting and cute, one is a tsundere, the other seems emotionless and not too talkative
- There's also this gay dude but whatever
- The psychological element is highly present
- It deals with philosophical ideas such as life, meaning, the self and the others

You truly can make sense of almost everything and find purpose and intent in nearly every scene if you look for it though. Not to say it's all incredibly "deep" or profound though it does dive deeper into some psychological things you don't see explored all that often or in the same manner that Eva did it. There are sometimes that it does kind of beat you over the head with its messages at themes but EoE is still "an experience" and incredibly well done on the artistic side of things. I'd say the best reason to watch Evangelion is just because it's pretty unique, there's nothing else really like it out there whereas a lot of TV shows/movies/anime are more formulaic and similar to each-other. Eva is just 1 of those series that's pretty top shelf stuff, creatively and artistically, and really does its own thing instead of doing what everyone was doing. I mean if you like anime at all and can appreciate artwork/animation, EoE is just great on a technical level - really professional and talented people were involved with making that movie and it was backed by basically an unlimited budget thanks to the success of the TV series

Well it does in fact change and get generally better over time.

I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it is good. It's got some extremely good parts, and some very boring parts. It's worth watching.
Also, watch End of Evangelion after you've been disappointed by the "ending" to the regular series. It's very satisfying.

I think it's pretty good but pushing it on someone is stupid and always makes the experience of something worse, anyhow if you didn't like the first three episodes I wouldn't bother with it

Yeah you definitely cant be forced to like anything, at the same time you kind of have to give things a fair chance before deciding that you hate it. I do know Eva isn't for everyone though, I like it for what it is but I can easily see why someone wouldn't be interested in it, especially if they don't watch or appreciate animation. Some people might not like Eva because they think the subject matter is jouvenille, for others it just might not click with them, others may straight up hate the messages it tries to deliver, but I appreciate the level of introspection it provides, even if some may call it childish or shallow. I don't say this to call the series deep, but there's popcorn entertainment, then entertainment that TRIES to make you use your head a bit instead of just being pure flashy. I think End of Evangelion is great at both those though, it's got a lot of style to it and it has substance, whether you appreciate that kind of substance is up to you though. Also I do say that the anime series looks really nice too, but EoE just has that movie budget behind it

It's been 10 years since I watched it. At its core it's a show about relationships between humans. Being entrusted with responsibilities you didn't ask for, worthiness, self-doubt, and isolation self-imposed or not. There's waifus, but they've all got personal issues because this isn't moeblob trash like what we've been getting for 15 years.
