I enjoyed it. Definitely going to watch the rest. Anyone here a big fan of it? I've heard it's seen as the best anime ever, along with Cowboy Bebop and a couple others.

The only anime I have ever watched fully is Cowboy Bebop. So how is it? Is it really best ever?

I thought it was pretty good.

I think the characters are far more memorable than the show itself.

Eva is my favorite anime. I realize that it's got a ton of people that hate it but I can't help my love for it!
The movies (End of Eva and then the new ones) add so, so much. Definitely give them a watch if you enjoy the series at all.

Eva is very polarizing. Some people really do think it's the best ever, some people despise it, and a lot of people fall in between (obviously).

Honestly it's one of those shows you can only form an opinion on by watching yourself, so I'd recommend you do that, especially since you liked the first ep.


Yeah, this is pretty much correct. It's my personal favorite (although it's been threatened a bit in that regard recently) but it's definitely very polarizing, so I can understand people not liking it.

At least you watched up to Asuka's appearance!
If someone doesn't like the series after she shows up it's probably just not for them.

Easily one of my favorite shows of all time. I understand why it's polarizing, but it's still ridiculously amazing if you can get into it.

I don't like it, but it did start promisingly, has a great theme song (and a penguin), and well anime gateway into more anime watching is good.

I liked it. Thought first half or so of the series was mediocre, but really enjoyed the second half.

Hated End of Eva though.

The series has a pretty great ending, though you can only really appreciate it if you fully understand Eva, which understandably for a lot of people won't be after just one viewing.
End of Eva is a great ending even on your first watch, though.

Fly Me to the Moon is one of the best songs ever, but the quality does vary since someone else sings it every episode.
The version in the first episode is god mode, though.

Fly Me to the Moon is a great song when sung by English speaking night club crooners. This was typically not the case with Eva's closing song.

It's hilarious how some people think people hate it because they think it's complicated.

Anyways, it's quite good and I did like it, but the amount of pointless symbolism it inspired for years to come got old really quick.

I would disagree, but my vote doesn't count because I was never that into the genre to begin with.

Mecha should be about giant robots beating the crap out of other robots set in politically heavy settings. Not about how Shinji can't get laid.
