This is an anime I've always wanted to see, 'cause I've heard glowing reviews. Every time I go to a con though, they never have it. |

^it's got its bad sides and its good sides. the newer movies i.e. rebuild are a marvelous display of animation imo, and so far they're doing a pretty good job at telling the story, though they are a compressed version of the original anime. the anime itself... well i can honestly say people havent stopped arguing about it in more than 15 years, all i can say is it was pretty good too. except maybe the last two episodes, sans one scene :D |

^strike that - the newer ones a more of a retelling with a different ending |

You can buy the DVDs on Amazon. Just be ready to pay an arm and a leg for the series box set. Also be ready to be a bit shaken up while watching it. I was spoiled beforehand and there were still a few episodes that felt like a punch to the gut to watch. |

I've watched the original, though none of the reboots.
It's great up until you get to the black eva episode, and then everything after that just feels like the entire series spiraling down the drain when the author realized "oh, this is all supposed to be building up to something really incredible and thought provoking, but I don't really know how to do that." There are a lot of critically/fan acclaimed anime that fall utterly flat unless you specifically understand the entire cultural situation in japan that surrounded the series. I personally recommend Trigun as pretty much the pinnacle Anime series that manages to maintain top quality in animation and storytelling throughout its entire run. |

You suck, Shinji. |

^I should note though that that "punch to the gut" comment wasn't meant as an insult. The show does a wonderful job portraying the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder on people, and the production team should definitely be praised for their making of an emotionally gripping piece of art. |

Now we just need pony Misato. Or would that be Berry Punch? |

First anime I've seen.
Sure, there was also DBZ on TV but it was a dubbing of a dubbed version and with terrible voices, so I couldn't handle even two minutes of it. |

Asuka looks so cute!
Well, she always does. |

So Shinji got his cutie mark after his first time piloting Unit-01?
That's just cruel. |
