Here's my story with Evangelion: one of the first animes I ever watched. Only watched the first season (24 episodes) and went into it expecting big robots going boom boom against weird monsters - for context, I never actually watched any anime mecha anime so far.

Then Shinji started crying, his dad was kinda bad. He gets into the big robot, cries a little more and punches the monster. BOOOM. His aunt is kinda hot but also an alcoholic. Then he starts piloting mecha. Then there's that gay kiss somewhere in the middle. Then... Hmmm... There was some lore bits here an there, but I don't remember much. A lot of people die to a giant diamond. I think Rei is Shinji's mother? The last episode doesn't make any sense unless you go into youtube and watch 1 hour and half video essay explaining it.

What I wanted to say was: Evangelion is so kino 👏👏👏 10/10 genre defining.

And that was my Evangelion review!
