The story is about how extraterrestrial beings called Angels are attacking Earth. It's an interesting story but it never evolves beyond the basic premise. We never learn the how and why.
And why is that? Why do they neglect the story? They do so in order to focus on the main charater Ikari Shinji. A young boy whos ONLY problem in the whole world, is that his father won't read him bed time stories. Seriously... thats what the entire anime is about. One spoiled and pathetic boy being angry over his father neglecting his fatherly duties... that the world is set afalme all around him dosn't matter...
Overrated it was, Overrated it is, and Overrated it will forever be.
