Neon Genesis Evangelion is probably one of the best mecha animes I've seen. The art is usual for it's time and it's nothing special, but to me it's charming in it's own way. Though there is something I disliked about it, The ending. Of course I won't spoil that, And you still need to watch the ending to consider yourself finished with this anime. I would recommend Neon Genesis Evangelion to anyone who can understand the topics. Honestly really, I wouldn't say it's "Cute turned Dark" because you could tell by the beginning that it isn't really cute. Personally I watched the Netflix re-dub so I probably don't have the full experience, But I have heard the original dub. I have no preference for either but I would say The netflix re-dub captured the emotion better; while the original dub was a bit more funny. Over all of this, If you can understand issues such as abandonment, stress, and peer pressure I would recommend Neon Genesis Evangelion.
