Line 33:
** One would think that the ways in which the series extensively plays with—and brutally subverts—anime tropes, the notoriously confusing plot, the highly divisive characters, and the all-around weirdness of the show would make it less than ideal viewing for someone unfamiliar with the medium. A whole new generation of ''Eva'' fans has arisen ever since the series was broadcast on—you guessed it -- [[Adult Swim]].
*** Actually ''Eva'' was first aired in the US by KTEH, a ''[[PBS]] affiliate'' in California uncensored in Japanese!
** Despite this being the case for many mecha fans in the late 90s and early 2000s, most of them argue ''Eva'' is no longer a good Gateway Series for the genre, given it relies ''heavily'' on influences from previous anime to do - more or less -
* The pilot anime for [[Adult Swim]] was ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', a series great for getting people interested in the medium.
* One of the first well-dubbed series imported into the United States was ''[[Ranma ½]]''.
