Oh God, another person who hates NGE because they didn't get it. The series only utilizes psychology and religion as devices, they are not the focus of the series. In fact, it isn’t about the Eva’s either. The series is all about Shinji, everything else in the series, including the other characters, are just used to develop him. (SPOILER)That’s why at the end of the series, they disregard the story line, and focus on him for the final 2 episodes. How he gets there, in the end, doesn’t matter.Originally Posted by Lindy
People don’t begin to think they can understand psychology from watching this series. All people come to understand from this is how pathetic the existence of mankind truly is (watch The End of Evangelion, then you’ll understand)
Oh, and for Eva, watching ľ of the series is no where near enough for you to have a relevant opinion. You don’t like it, and that’s fine, but don’t think that it was because your above the series, no one is. Especially if you like Trigun…
No, they did that because budget restrictions and television censors wouldn't let them do what they wanted to do, which was The End of Evangelion.There are actually tons of blustery people who do indeed think Evangelion is super-deep and rich with religious and philosophical symbolism. The series is clever in a lot of ways, but it's often stupidly, needlessly obtuse and definitely overhyped.People don’t begin to think they can understand psychology from watching this series.

3/4 of the series isn't enough to see the whole picture, so I do not consider your opinion to be valid. It is a good series, and the psychology is present, but not overbearing. The annoying thing about it would be the pseudo-intellectuals who make it thus, not the series itself.
It has a good story to tell...but it avoids telling it at all. The characters never really grow or evolve either. I like it but I can clearly see its down falls.
NGE is one of the best anime series ever..Destai you should buy the rest of the series as well..The plot gets exciting a lot after episode 14..
And yes the name sounds cool!^_^

Evangelion is one of the animes which I can watch from TV. Stupid Finland TV....
But I love to watch it and I have downloaded some series too...
President Shinra is dead...
Cloud: "Only Sephiroth can use that sword."
"You sure?"
Cloud: "Of course. He uses it to shave his legs. Do you think anyone else will want to touch it after that?"

No, I don't like it BECAUSE I THINK IT IS BAD, there was no problem with understanding it, heck there wasn't even that much worth bothering to understand. Shinji whines about not wanting to pilot the Eva, then he does, beats the crap out an angel, episode ends. For next episode, repeat, maybe change the pilot and Eva, and stick in some needlessly complex waffle about "humanity".
From watching it, all I came to understand was that people who think that Eva is the most amazing and fantastic story ever, and nothing ever comes close are pathetic. I don't see how you can say "All people", do you really know what everyone thinks?
And what's wrong with Trigun, because it can be light, airy and amusing? Oh god no, can't have something fun, has to be "deep" and "dark".
From watching 3/4 of the series I saw how repetitive the stories and characters were, and I just grew bored of it, I think the fact that I grew bored after 3/4 is a pretty reasonable view of the whole picture if I found that much of the "picture" boring. Christ, I gave it a chance, I really did, but I just couldn't keep watching something that just went on and on about the same things over and over.
Shinji is fragile with a "dark past", Rei is fragile with a "dark past", Asuka is fragile with a "dark past", Gendo is a bastard "with a dark past", Misato is a slut with a "dark past", YEAH I GOT THAT PART FROM THE FIRST FEW EPISODES, PLEASE ADVANCE TO SOMETHING MORE, RATHER THAN CONTINUING IT FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES, 'KAY?
I don't see how you can decide that someone's opinion is invalid when, their opinion is based upon the fact that they grew bored of the series after 3/4 of it and desired to watch no more of it. What, I'm supposed to watch the whole thing just so I can "understand it", even though I don't like it?
To be fair, while Eva by-and-large does take itself entirely too seriously, it certainly has its share of wacky comedy rife with naked teenagers.
I don't remember very many bar a couple of the earlier episodes, unless the last few episodes turned into a Benny Hill-styled softcore-fest.
I've seen NGE, and it was decent, i guess, but i didn't like it.
And yeah, it's very overhyped.
Considered it's hailed as the best show ever made, yeah, it's overhyped. I still loved it, though, as the characters were generally very emotionally impacting and the plot was very interesting. End of Evangelion clears up a lot, and makes up for most of the faults the show has towards its conclusion. Still, if you can't stand angst, don't watch it, because it's quite true that Shinji spends 90% of the show grappling with his pathetic self. In my opinion, RahXephon, which is a similar series, is much better. I'd like to know the opinions of some anime aficionados on that subject.
Tho i won't disagree with u that it is very good, i have to say the ending was complete crap, the movie just made things even worse. But the rest of the series was muy bueno.
shinji is the worst character ever invented, and since the whole show is about him, it sucks.
