Gushing About Shows You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Anime and Manga/Neon Genesis Evangelion: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' deserves its legions of fans and place as one of the most influential series ever. It gets plenty of things wrong, but what it does right are done to perfection. At the very least, it helps remind oneself that no matter how bad things may be in [[Real Life]], they can easily become [[Crapsack World|far]], [[Dysfunction Junction|far]], ''[[End of the World Special|far]]'' [[It Got Worse|worse]].

** This troper likes it for the action (so I usually just watch the middle episodes), but the later ones are nice too (Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, fourth movement goes SO WELL with {{spoiler|Kaworu's head popping like a Pez dispenser}}.

** The good thing about ''eva'' is not the way that it throws in all the imagery, or the psychological aspects, or the awesome giant robots running around roflstomping things, but rather the message at it's core. It's just a shame it took [[The End of the World as We Know It|Third Impact]] to teach shinji that it's ok to live life, even if you have no idea what you're doing. Realising that message pulled this troper out of a long term depression. He went from thinking he'd be polluting the gene pool if he reproduced to being engaged within 12 months. Ignore the pretentious stuff and all ''eva'' tells us is it's ok to live for the hell of it.
