Notes:

A few days ago I finally finished Evangelion, and I watched everything of it. All the episodes, the ending movie, the little extras and finally the Rebuild/Remake movies.

Honestly, I had bought the "too deep for you" meme when I was going in, because I unionically expected it to be too deep for me. It had its issues, but I think it's a pretty fine anime. I think my problem is that I subconsciously had my expectations very high, even without thinking about it.
I'm somewhat surprised that Evangelion got so popular in America despite of how incredibly Japanese it is. And I read that the author was surprised of its success too.
I feel as if it inspired Metal Gear Solid 2 in a lot of aspects.
My favorite scene was when they show us the Second Impact from Misato's prospective, when she's alone in the middle of the sea and sees the explosion in the distance. The noise, atmosphere, colors, it was all so…. perfect.

I really enjoyed the first remake movie, and I liked the way it changed some of the things, but the second and third movie deviate too much from the source material and not in any way I like.

Overall, pretty nice. I'd suggest it if you're into classics
