New Genesis Evangelion




I've just started watching the anime series Evangelion and am very intrigued by the series. admittedly I am not as gripped as I'd like to be but as I recall through watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, it often takes longer than four episodes to get into a series like this. But I knew it was very famous and popular so worth investing a lot of viewing time. It's also a 90's anime so admittedly to me it looks a tiny bit dated, not to say the animation visual aesthetic looks past it but it is definitely evident how far anime has come.

It's basically centered around a young boy called Shinji who exists in the world, fifteen years after an apocalypse that forced the world off it's axis and now there are giant monsters that exist called angels that have the intent of wiping out humanity. Now Shinji must operate a giant robot called an eva and battle the monsters, of course this kind of responsibility could have catastrophic impacts on his mental stability.

Matt, who I'm watching the series with has said that Evangelion gets really good during the movies so I am excited but also I know I have around thirty episodes to get through until then.
