I don't understand why are people obsessed with it? it gets really weird, and sometimes herd to understand. The first time I watched it I thought it was overrated, everyone talks about NGE like it's an important anime and it might be is, but I didn't see it at first. Then I decided to watch it again thinking maybe I judged it so harshly, and here I am lying to myself that it might get better if I watch (The Ending of Evangalion) with the whole series, it didn't get better for me, still sucks! but at least now I can respect the effort that was put into this show, ngl it still has it appeal but I dislike it.
