It gives the impression of a really cool robot show with the best designed robots of all time (really sleek and colorful, they even look almost human-like) and instead we get some whiny dude crying all the time about his depression and fear of abandonment

Now this is just a completely unfair and reductionist interpretation

It's about *all* the characters crying about their depression and fear of abandonment

That was back during a time when, of the anime that made the trip across the ocean, it was harder to find theme songs that sucked than ones that didn't.

The main theme is insanely popular in Japan. Like, it's more identifiable than the show itself. It became popular in karaoke bars, and old men who don't even watch anime recognize it

Yeah it's honestly a show that doesn't age well imo. Not only is it an incredibly emo as shit show but even the fanservice is lol worthy as well. The only thing that aged well is its incredibly animation and choreography in some of the fight scenes. With that said, I watched a video that brought context in how Evangelion revolutionized the Mecha genre for its time (when it was being rather stale and samey) and for that I'm grateful, hence why you see anime tackle the same themes as Evangelion but better.

Evngalion mecha is not really mecha. It just fleshy thingy masquerading as mecha.

People complaining that it wasnt mecha enough missed the point. Its saying irl you guys wouldnt be jumping for joy when you actually get in the mecha, face grotesque aliens, watch your friends die, and feel the weight of mankinds fate on your shoulders when you were just fine doing homework and watching Spongebob yesterday at grandmas house

i enjoyed the show even tho Shinji and Asuka would get on my nerves sometimes and the show itself would get really weird and hard to follow at times. i swear the last 2 episodes were like a wild acid trip...

that theme song undeniabely slaps tho! i never dared to skip it when i watched it! lol

and yeah, the thing that really got on my nerves about Shinji is that it wasn't enough for him that he got to pilot the Eva so he can, you know, save everyone around him (including his friends and family) but he piloted it cause everyone around him would compliment him for it.

so to recap: approval from daddy is more important than saving the world!

seriously, fuck this little shit! lol

End of Evangelion is. The last few TV episodes are likely caused by them running out of money and time.

NGE is a deconstruct of robot shows of the time, which honestly had been attempted prior to it but this was the first one to really vibe with the times.

And then Gurren Lagann reconstructed it.

But yeah, NGE music is awesome, for example:

The rumor goes that the original last few episodes were so violent that review boards weren't going to let it air, so they had to scrap all the work they had done and start over. However, they had basically run out of money and so had to cobble together some weird abstract set of low budget episodes to finish the series. Supposedly the movie end of evangelion is much, much closer to what the original ending of the anime was supposed to be like.
