Sure, NGE has a interesting plot. Its all about humanity, EVA's, Angels, NERV, religion-themed issue, inner thoughts of 4 Main Characters of this anime and more. Its story is very controversial and when I saw its videos on youtube, it caught my interest to watch this and I'm pretty glad that I watched this anime thats why, the story score for me is 10/10.
The Art. This is '90's anime but Gainax did a very well job in handling the art. The EVA's was pretty awesome and baddass. But the Angel's looks kinda let me down, they look like weirds but at least they are already defeated. 9/10
About the Sounds. Personally, the OP song is still in mind, I'm having an LSS of this song and the animation of the Opening Songs is very unique, its very fun to watch the Opening all over again. The Ending Song is refreshing to hear and it had a lot of versions which is very good. The OST was great too, the background music when the action scenes will come out is fitting and hooking too.
The voice acting is good. I watched the Japanese Version and I think that all voices fit to the characters though when Asuka speak in German and if you're a German, you know what to say. I also think that Megumi Ogata, Megumi Hayashibara and Akira Ishida did a great job for voicing their characters. Some said that English dub is good too so its up to you what version will you watch. 8/10
I understand why many people hate Shinji and Asuka. But I tried my best to understand them and its worth it.
Shinji is your weak type of character, had the greatest development through the entire series and a relatable character in my opinion. For his age, you will understand why he runs away, why he hates his father and why he pilots his EVA. He was the main focus in the last 2 episodes so you will understand him very well. Its the first time that I saw a character that don't want to do a stuff. Usually, in a mecha-anime, the MC voluntaries to pilot a robot but here, nope. Its pretty hard to have the responsible to protect the humanity in the age of 14 years old, so Shinji, even though many hates you, I still salute you because of your quote "I must not run away."
Asuka is a 'b' and annoying character at first, but her backstory made her strong, I admire her for that. She is energetic type of girl but in the same time, she hated everything even herself. But also, I am in the verge of giving her 'my favourite female character' but she lacked developments. I also like her chemistry with Shinji, they are like 'dog and cat'
Rei Ayanami, she had a shocking plot twist but I think she also lacked in development like Asuka. She is very a very interesting character which will want you to know more about her. I still want to know more about her and her relationship with Shinji is good.
Misato Katsuragi, she and Asuka had similarities. You will find her likeable character but once you learned the truth about her, I wish that you'll not despise her. I think that she and Shinji had this 'mother/sister-son/brother' relationship which I find very fun and heartwarming. She had a lot of developments too throughout the series.
As for the other characters, you will have this 'hate-love' feeling for Gendo Ikari, I don't know, I just find him likeable and not-likeable at the same time. The other ones was pretty interesting too. But for me, Kaworu Nagisa is one of the most interesting character. 8/10
Although there are a lot of elements that I did liked and loved about this anime, the ending made me down. Sorry but even if its quite good, there are still some problems that aren't resolved so go watch 'The End of Evangelion' if you hated the ending. And also, Kaworu... I loved his smile, but where's the justice for him?
But overall, I really enjoyed NGE and if you are into mecha-animes or psychological animes, give this one a try but I can't assure you if you will regret watching this. But for me, NGE is a one heck of anime.
