Neon Genesis Evangelion

julinewbooks shared a tip "this show ****** me up and made me reflect a lot on myself and what kind of person i am. it’s really just an allegory for mental illness and growing up tbh."

emily_alwubayran shared a tip "One of my favorite animes and shows of all time. It’s fun, but can make that switch to disturbing and serious. Great mix of action, psychology and I love the classic “vintage anime” visuals. Each character is so well fleshed out and the story is still relevant today. It’s hard to find something that comes close."

anemonemily shared a tip "this show absolutely floored me so many times. a lot more in the beginning but still throughout; I'm talking absolutely slackjawed with what was going on. I wasn't expecting the delve into some more wild themes, but altogether a great show. I would NOT recommend this show to kids"

hehe_boi shared a tip "I freaking loved this show, with the visuals and how it can really go from 0-100 real fast. My favourite character was easily misato :)"

alice.cullen shared a tip "i rly liked this show but idk if it was rly as good as people say it is. like it’s a good psychological anime but not that much better than any other anime. i just liked the graphics and the characters beauty tbh"

WesAnderson shared a tip "“Neon Genesis Evangelion” one of his favorite movies. “It is 24 episodes, and we watched them all in less than a week because you start to want to believe it’s real. This could spawn something like Scientology.”"

alex_desourdy shared a tip "I watched this and Fullmetal Alchemist back to back and learned that sometimes things are really popular because they are good, and made an effort to be a little less skeptical."

SupremeAnu shared a tip "NGE is my favorite piece of media of all time. It can be a tough watch for some people because the story is about humanity. I don't mean as subject matter, I mean in our totality. It breaks that down into all the pieces necessary that make us individuals. This series will take you places. It will make you feel isolation, depression, and loneliness. It will do all of this to you in 24 episodes with amazing characters, two minute elevator scenes, and ****** budgets. Please watch this now."

sarah_balanoff_beauty shared a tip "Watch the original dubbed version, as opposed to the Netflix dubbed version. I personally enjoyed both, but the original has the most iconic lines and is therefore my favourite."

patrick_leger shared a tip "[No spoilers hereby] Don’t let the 90s graphics fool you, this show really goes deep and asks some really difficult questions on ourselves and humanity. The story is amazing and incredibly detailed. You come to seek out those minute details as you get more into it. The exposition is cleverly done where you never feel out of scene for too long. You really get to know the characters, their emotional backgrounds, their resolve and their reasons. These details come into play as the characters interact and work together. Oh yeah, all the above while huge mechs fight giant monsters... At first you might find the pacing slow as you expect more tech & fights, but in comes the real story and then you’re like, “Ok, this is interesting, I need more information on this”. I will rewatch this most definitely as the details are abundant and you might miss some nuances. The Netflix dubbed version is very well done. The voice match the characters expressions and emotions. The acting is excellent. I like to watch with English subtitles on, as sometimes the spoken words are different then the text and sometimes the meaning of the phrase is lost when translating the words. This rates as 9/10 on my best anime series list."

ethan_isaacs shared a tip "Probably the most clever, heartbreaking yet beautiful anime I have ever seen. This was released in the 90s but can hold up for centuries."

mary_kate_lettis shared a tip "A thrilling giant robot series that devolves into an equally stunning psychological deep dive into themes of isolation and self loathing."

nick_boissonnault shared a tip "Hey, this is my first post, I came into this show watching little to no anime, honestly I didn’t really think highly of the entertainment style, once I got into this show everything changed for me. People need to look at anime as another tv show or another movie, because stripped down, it’s all just the message a film or tv show creator wants to get across and there are different mediums they can share these messages. This was just the specific medium chose to share this message, and boy, is the message a good one, it’s a journey full of food for thought and eye candy. The show is a psychological adventure full of explosions and mech fights, the sheer audacity of this show makes it incredible. The way they explore everything that you can think of while developing a twisting turning plot. I highly suggest this show for anyone, especially anyone who is looking for something coming of age and existential. The way this show and the thought process behind this show is handled is nothing but elegant. And articulates well, Especially today more than ever in the confusing world we live in today, neon genesis Evangelion is an important staple in our culture as human beings, watch Neon Genesis Evangelion."

peachie_pie shared a tip "Started it with the promise of some Freudian symbolism, honestly got SO bored with this. It just kept going with no big impact and I couldn’t even get through half the show. Iconic Shinji pose notwithstanding."

lan123222 shared a tip "Honestly Rey , I didn't like her in the beginning because I thought she was weird but by the end you understand why she is the way she is and I like that"

brandon_kaplan shared a tip "Cerebral, the darker side of science-fiction and almost fantasy. It’s amazing and a classic that delves into our emotions, interactions and psyche. With a lot of action and the need to save the world."

NotoriousFox shared a tip "Hands down my all-time favorite anime. I watched it as a teen and it is one of the only shows or movies to leave a profound impact on how I view the world."

patrick_craig_at_co shared a tip "Hands down one of the best sci-fi anime series of all time. As influential as Akira. It’s crucial to watch End of Evangelion once you complete the series."

mandy_soto shared a tip "NGE is one of my all time favorite anime, but it’s not for everyone. If you like subtext and existentialism, I would highly recommend. Don’t come in expecting a surface level, slice of life mecha anime or you’ll be disappointed!"

jrod_9773 shared a tip "It's really good. The music is a bop, the visuals are good, and the plot, while a bit hard to follow (for me anyways), is amazing. I'd definitely recommend it."

lyon_brooks shared a tip "This is the show about a ****** up group of individuals and a boy coming to age amidst these individuals. There's religious symbolism as well and that is up to individual interpretation. The series gets more complex and has many reboots that are actually adding to the base story. This is a big series to get into it. It definitely caters to a darker audience though the anime ending is very hopeful not much else is."

noelle_wade shared a tip "I’ve been looking for a newer anime (like the last 5 years) that is similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion. I’ve seen Madoka which was the only one I though was close to it. Someone please help 😭 #anime #animereccomendation #neongenesisevangelion"

rebeca_duque shared a tip "I mean it was kinda tedious at first but as the show continuous you can see how ****** the character's life are, even if the show's premise is about giant robots in post apocalyptic future it's more than that. In conclusion I think that the best part of this show is their characters and how despite everything it's happening they still develop"
