Summary:
In 2015, the "Angels" have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo--commander of the secret organization NERV--to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon called "Evangelion"(Eva) to match the Angels' fearsome power...
“ It's strange that 'Evangelion' has become such a hit - all the characters are so sick! ”
—Hideaki Anno, quoted in Wong 1996

My review:
Some may say it's genius, others may say it's rubbish... Eva is very interesting. It's one of those anime which you have to watch a couple of times to understand. I did not get the last 2 episodes till I watched the film "The End of Evangelion". Also I love a psychological part of Eva. There were some deep and interesting questions. They used Christian symbolism only to give the project a uniqueness  against other giant robot shows, and that it had no particular meaning(that's what director said). But it was still interesting to observe how people fight against "Angels". And it's true that the characters are all sick ^_^

Recommend:
Worth watching....if you are ready for it!
