Unpopular Opinion:-

As everyone seems to praise the shit out of Evangelion, I beg to differ as I have formed certain opinions about it which everyone won't agree. So if you're someone who gets offended quite easily, please scroll away. And with that disclaimer out of the way, let's begin without any further ado.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a poor mashup of sci-fi and Christian philosophy. In the name of creating a "masterpiece", while being high ofc, Hideaki Anno tried to create a kaiju-mecha sci-fi anime with Christian philosophical references, but halfway, when his "budget" was almost blown away, he ... apparently got into "depression", which lead him to show and create painfully cringy and slow episodes in the name of "psychological" art. I mean, the elevator scene was a single frame shown for a freaking minute, and nothing significant happens for so many episodes after a certain point. The last significant thing to happen was deaths of Kaworu Nagissa and Kaji. And oh! How atrociously painful and slow the final two episodes were! In the name of psychological art, everything built up was thrown on the wall to see what sticks, and that "Congratulations" in the final episode is cringy yet so freaking memable to this very day!
Sure, we did get EoE, and yes, while it definitely was better than the monstrosity the final two episodes were, well, again, Hideaki Anno just seemed to throw everything towards the wall to see what sticks, but in high-quality animation.
And, let's not even talk about characters! Shinji, a pussy, Asuka, a whinny intolerable tsundere bitch, Rei, a lifeless hag, Shinji's dad, even bigger pussy than him and also a pedophile, rest all characters except Katsuragi Misato and Kaji are either godfucking annoying or just forgettably blending in the wallpaper of a shitshow!
Overall, Evangelion is a 3/10 anime for me. Evangelion will only look deep and appeal to those who are 14 year-old woke kids who don't know shit yet can't shut the fuck up after getting offended just slightly.
