And boy was I disgusted at this. Each episode was absolute torture to watch. The characters was annoying as hell, the plot inconclusive and the last 3 episodes was an absolute joke.
The introspective monologue bullshit was enough to make me go into a depression. And I was extremely put of by the Mechas being hooked up to power chords.
If only it was about liberating man kind from these Angel attacks, Finding some secret Angel Base and then having the lead protagonist lead an assault on the angel base (preferably after most of the female characters died and if he dealt with he's character flaws), the plot would've still been mildly acceptable.
But instead the plot falls flat into an excruciatingly painful psychological fruit bowl which is difficult to understand, partially due to fact that I just got too bored with it to actually pay attention to what was being said. I still have painful memories thinking back on this as I write this. I hope this review serves as a warning. So far this is the ONLY Anime that I have such a strong disliking to. Do not watch unless you wish to inflict extreme psychological trauma on yourself or if you wish to use boredom as a self torture device.
2024 Edit: In retrospect, I might have been to harsh with this review... But after having seen all 4 rebuilds in one day(which has nothing to do with this show really), I kind of want to stand by my opinion? But I understand that it appeals to a lot of people. If I saw it 1995 and also was a teenager at that time, I might have been really into it.
To be perfectly honest, I drop 90% of anime I start to watch nowadays, often within 5 minutes, I think Violet Evergarden not even made it to 1
