Whether or not you will enjoy this show, it depends on the person. Personally, I loved it. The story was intriguing, but by far the best part about Evangelion is the characters. Some people I know look like they want to kill themselves every time I mention Evangelion, while others can't stop talking about it. Overall, I think the characters were brilliant and, of course, every single one of them is deeply disturbed. Is it a show for pretentious assholes? Yes. In my opinion, however, the way it disturbs you is different from animes like Elfen
...
Lied, where it mainly focuses on blood pinatas and shock value, while in Evangelion you will see a widower who attempts to recreate his wife by cloning her remains who later is crushed on by a boy who is genetically her son. Said widower attempts to reunite with his wife by turning the whole world into orange tang so that all human minds will become one. Some doctor lady becomes said widower's new lover, and upon seeing that he cloned his wife, gets jelly and kills toddler clone, later killing herself, only to be replaced by her daughter as the same man's sexual partner. You can see this show as random, indistinguishable, pretentious shit (with really bad animation) or as a masterpiece that delves into the human mind, maybe even teaching the watcher a little bit about themselves. And if you think Evangelion was fucked up, just wait till you see End of Evangelion. Great music, by the way.
