Everyone has probably heard of this anime series 'Evangelion'. I think this anime is okay... but I'm not personally in love with it or anything. It seems to be more targeted at guys than girls- although there are still many girls who love watching it. I think the movies were the worse I've ever seen. Too many blood and guts, very meaningless- filled with death themes. I like the drawings of the characters, but in terms of the storyline, I don't find too appealing. But of course, this is all of my opinon. What do you guys think of it? Anyone who really likes it? And if so.. why? I'm very curious ^_^ In Japan, it did come in the 2nd rank for top anime

= = = Neon Genesis Evangelion
At the turn of the millennium the inhabitants of Earth are nearly completely wiped out by a mysterious supposed meteorite strike on Antarctica. Roughly half the population dies as a direct result of the strike, and the rest are left to struggle for survival amidst the rising savage seas due to melting of the polar ice caps.
Now the year is 2015. As the remnants of the human race cower in subterranean cities, a deadly war is being waged for what is left of the planet, and for what lies there within. On one side are the mysterious alien beings known only as the Angels, on the other, the special agency NERV and mankind's last hope for survival; the awe-inspiring Evangelions.
Yet amongst the ongoing devastation, few weary individuals at NERV struggle to uncover and piece together the agency's long buried secrets and hidden agendas along with the mysteries surrounding the arrival of the Angels. Why was the Earth struck fifteen years ago? A mere simple unfortunate act of nature, or perhaps an act of vengeance instigated by beings more powerful than man. Why did NERV classify the Angel responsible for the first attack on Tokyo-3 as the third, not the first? And just why are the only qualified Eva pilots that of children born exactly nine months after the second impact that massacred over half the human race?

I only watched bits and pieces of this anime and I think it contains rather adult themes in it.
I like the drawings on this anime. Shinji looks rather cute~ looks a bit like a girl in some ways. The social side of their life story is funny at times and interesting, though it does get a little boring when it comes to the the discussions between the Nerv commitee.
I really like the themesong and cover~ very uplifting and alive.
This anime seems to be very interesting at the beginning, though, as the series goes on, things don't seem the same or as simple as before. There is more behind evangelion than it seems...(is that a good thing?) I found as it came closer to the ending..i didn't like it very much.

Well, I only saw the DVD, not sure which one it was but, I thought it was pretty good, though with a imaginative plot. The character drawings were also realistic.

Realistic? they are ok... do you mean by looks? Or drawn to scale like people? Cause I still think a lot of anime have exaggerated legs to make the characters prettier.
Anyhow, here's a set of posters i found:

I mainly like the pretty looking characters ^_^ I'm not too interested in the actual storyline...I really hated the movie.. I can't stress enough how pointless I think it is..it only promotes death and destruction.. Only my opinon though..others would argue this

That sorta happens with any anime... Nooo.... There's plenty of anime that we can like the whole way through It's just that evangelion does get pretty dull towards the end, and the social life is the interesting parts... but then it gets all weird, and depressive. Umm..so yeah...the ending was quite bad too...

Well, I mean in a way that if you watch it too much, you might grow out of it or something like that.

evangelion sounds like an anime film noir ....liek astroboy ...its full of melancholy and devastating morals that is too hard for us to understand and relate to ... the meaning is too deep...
