Well, a lot of people like this anime, even though I don't know anything about it except for who the characters are and the whole point of the show....other from that...I wasn't that interested though...

This anime seems to have a deep meaning/ message or moral to the story, although it is not all clear. Whoever can get it is very gifted, for I am still unsure. The people in the anime keep asking questions like what the angels are and why do they want to destroy humanity. I feel like the movie has a very strong statement to make, but yet again I'm unsure what it is. The main things I like about the anime is the cool intro song, the interaction between the 3 pilots and some of the exciting battle scenes eg. the one where Shinji and Asuka had to time all their moves exactly to defeat the two halves of the angels... More mysterous than moving, it must have some element of interest to make it so popular.

I'm kinda neutral on Evangelion. I like Asuka though, she's cool. I've only watched it a couple of times, it's not something that makes me rush to the remote and turn over to put it on, but if there's nothing else on it's watchable. It does have some adult jokes in (I remember Asuka being asked if she rode Shinji's 'baloney pony' and Asuka telling Shinji to 'get up!... Not that!!!'

I LOVE EVA!
It's the anime that got me into anime so it'll always be on top of my list. The themes, story line and alls related I enjoyed.
I'm a believer in the main idea of Eva is questioning, people will go on to take what they want to take out of Eva. The series ending was inadequate for many people (as per usual with animes *points to Nadesico*) but it happens. The last episode explains part of it, the other part is what you believe it to be.
The movies on their own were dreadful, but it was *arguably* better than the series ending. It's dark, just as the series becomes. Here it's just learning about the struggles of these messed up little kids and the even more messed up adults. Moral to story - - people are messed up.
But no, that doesn't give a good account of the series, because overall it's very well done, with the military/sci-fi/end-of-the-world again stuff appealing to a male audience. The continual fan-service mention does that enough (in the "On the next episode..." thingy at the end), and if you even can be bothered to look at the game (which I think is adorable - - *spoiler* Shinji get's a GIRLFRIEND!) we see that Eva isn't all dark and doom and gloom.
Also note: You might wanna see it as symbolic of alotta things. It's the subtle things in the conversations from as early as episode 1 that you pick up there's definately something wrong here, and that people are messed up.
Oh dear... have I bored someone...? I'll stop before I go into a longer essay. Using Shinji's favourite all time line: "Gomen..."

Yeah.. the movie was... *ack* something I did not enjoy.

It does have some adult jokes in (I remember Asuka being asked if she rode Shinji's 'baloney pony' and Asuka telling Shinji to 'get up!... Not that!!!' It does too ^-^;; maybe too much. It's just not suited for younger kids, because they might not exactly understand what's happening, OR they might start getting strange ideas. Well, there were quite a lot of adult jokes- ..haha.. stuff I'm not prepared to mention.

i personally think its ok, because i like shinji, enen though he is abit weak and more like gal than boy. but i like seeing guys get hurt so i like this anime. but i really hated the movie version, took me a while to fully understand what is going on, hate the ending, too much blood, and i reckon the characters were distorted in some way, shinji seemed to be more 'girly' then he is in the series. anyways, i enjoyed most of it, especially when they are out on mission. i really hope that it will be release again on SBS, i've taped a few episode of it, i missed the most important one.

I 'generally' liked it, except I didnt find it necessary to constantly show bood o.o I hated the part when Shinji couldnt control is dummy, and kept killing his friend,,.. yuck.. and that was the first episode i watched
