Is Neon Genesis Evangellion an overrated anime, or do you think it deserves the attention it received throughout the years?

Some people didn't like it then. Some don't like it now. Like it, Love it, or hate it, or dismiss it, it caught the imagination of a generation and beyond, tweaked up the mecha genre, took chances by exploring the philosophical, psychological, and spiritual. The characters were intentionally flawed and not always likeable, right and wrong were not clear, and the ending was . . . well . . . kind of left up to the viewer. It spawned imitators, some were good, like RahXephon, and some that were not.

no for what it done of the industry its underrated

saying that as as a anime historian who knows the back ground of when the show was made
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

yes, i think this is the only thing ill ever say is overratted cause of its obnoxious fans, not all of them but dear god the number of shows these guys have caused to not get the popularity they deserve is unforgivable

its also overratted in a snese that the finale the show was quite literaly flipping them off and jizzing in their faces and the fans acted like this was just some deep meaning that people dont understand when in reality the writer just left in some plot holes in which fans were able to fill in the blanks

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

all Shows have that sort of fan at lest the eva geeks as i call them have less illogical views than say overly obsessive Naruto fans or any overly bseeive fan of any of the fake BIG three that have no further context to them nothing to be discted like say EVA to Utena

Yes, Evangelion is a great show that set the standards for a lot of things in anime.

No, watching Evangelion does not cause you to cry tears of diamonds or crap gold.

Well, it is a masterpiece. Where it's overrated or not, that's purely subjective. I think it's like when you read classic literature: you may or may not like it, but you cannot deny it's quality. Otherwise, why are people still talking about it? Why does it get so much attention? I believe it is the case with Evangelion. It will go down in history and will continue to be a love/hate series. But no matter how much you think it's overrated or how much you hate it, you cannot deny it's quality nor it's influence. Personnaly, no, I do not think it's overrated.

Overrated? Yes.

Bad? No.

Perfect? Not by a long shot.
