After hearing endless praise for the series and its so proclaimed realistic and believeable characters I decided to give it a shot but man wasn't this a big letdown. There seems to be a so called trend in anime series that when an anime contains or touches upon the dark aspects of the human nature its automatically symbolic, deep bla bla with no exception of shows like elfen lied , akame ga kill etc etc.
Story:
Humanity on the brink of extinction, Life of a young boy completely changed as goes on the mission to save the world bla bla bla. The story isn't really a great
...
but not bad in the slightest.
Art:
For a show made in 1995 the animation is pretty good and smooth and possibly the best aspect of the show.
Sound:
I never really pay that much attention to the sound but its generally good, nothing really stood out to me but it isn't bad either. But I really love opening and the song “A Cruel Angel Thesis”.
Characters:
This is easily the worst part of the show and the sole reason I was never really able to enjoy NGE.
Shinji Ikari - Holy fucking shit where the hell do I even start. If you have heard about NGE you might have also heard about the realistic characters and Shinji the so called "Most Realistic Character" but couldn't that be more wrong.
After being abandoned by his father when he was just a child and constantly suffering through adverse situations he finally decides to run away from almost everything to avoid getting even more hurt. Being a depressed suicidal cunt myself who spends half of his day listening to music, watching anime and surfing through the net (remove the internet and my day is almost similar to that of Shinji expect that I don’t pilot an eva and my dad ain’t a cunt either). So I initially thought Shinji might be the most relatable character I will ever find but I couldn't have been more wrong .For someone who was abandoned by his father and was constantly suffering Shinji couldn’t have been more immature, (not trying to sound like some old man) pain and suffering may fuck us over but at some point we learn from those situations and become a more rational and mature person but I can’t see any of this in Shinji.
Though the most baffling and absurd thing would be when nerv used the dummy plug system. After Shinji refusing to kill the angel (which was originally an eva and still has a person inside it) nerv uses dummy plug to destroy the angel so that it doesn’t destroy them and fucking massacre them all this is still somehow too cruel for Shinji and since one of his friends gets seriously injured due to this he loses his mind and decides to destroy nerv himself. So let me go over it again nerv killing an angel who may easily slaughter them all and all of the Japan along with them is too cruel cause someone is still inside and may die cause of it and since those bastards still killed the angels (while saving themselves and countless other lives) but cause his friend is now in critical condition our lord and savior Shinji will destroy nerv himself.
What little development he gets goes is all lost since he goes brain dead (incase if he had one to begin with) after the death of the last angel. Even after all said and done I could still understand his action from an objective point of view to some extent but we just need him to sulk, cry, act depressed even more to degrade his character even further with the movie. After jerking off to Asuka’s naked body who is still in a fatigued state Shinji goes emo again and just keeps sitting in a corner while nerv is getting fucked inside out by the military. What worsens this even more is the fact that this shitbag who lost his over one of his friend getting almost killed is just sulking over when everyone is getting slaughtered and is still refusing to fight back. *slow clap* LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS OUR MOST BELIEVEABLE CHARACTER.
Enjoyment:
I was enjoying this anime but the forced self pity and sympathy for Shinji really brought it down.
Things I’d like to say:
1. This is nowhere near to an objective opinion, hell I can’t even say that it is subjective at this point cause I just wrote this to blow of some steam so clam your tits.
2. If you haven't realized it yet this isn’t even a review but just me ranting a bit on Shinji as this shitbag really pissed me off but tbh I don’t really think I hate him as much as you may feel after reading this cause I just wrote this in the heat of the moment.
3. I probably won’t agree with almost half of the what I wrote above but the reason I’m still posting it is just to calm my tits.
4. If you life Shinji as a character or heck even if he is your favorite character don’t let this bother you cause who am I or for that matter anyone else in the world to object to your taste.
5. Lastly, Shinji is an asshole.

This will be less of a review & more of a warning why you shouldn't waste your time watching this anime.
Story: The story is heavily cliched but not all that bad, the real problem is the execution. Even as the anime proceeds it doesn't explain one fucking thing about the trance, logic cards, etc etc and leaves a lot of unanswered question. Art & Animation: It is good but fairly generic. I don't really like it but I don't have any complaints with it either. Sound: ...

When I first read the synopsis I was quite interested as this anime seemed pretty unique and I was expecting to be not just your average harem anime but as the anime proceeded I was utterly disappointed. While the anime started off pretty good it started getting dumber and cliched week by week with pointless fanservice.
The major downfall of the anime with the introduction of Neko a.k.a. Marika Tachibana 2.0 as with her introduction this became even more of a generic harem and our Tsundere girl has started acting even more irrational. The protagonist is a narcissist who acts in the most weirdest ways ...

Finished this anime a few days ago and I must say I was utterly disappointed by the series.I really liked the Fate/Zero and Fate/SN:UBW series so I though of giving this anime a shot too but I deeply regret that.
Art and Animation: 4/10 The art and animation is pretty decent but its really horrible compared to the any other fate series which right of the bat added a negative point to this anime for me. Many of you may not agree with me but to me the animation just felt like an eyesore to me. Sound: 2/10 I didn't like the op and ed tracks but the soundtracks ... |
