Neon Genesis Evangelion
Shin Seiki Evangelion
In the year 2015, the Angels, huge, tremendously powerful, alien war machines, appear in Tokyo for the second time. The only hope for Mankind's survival lies in the Evangelion, a humanoid fighting machine developed by NERV, a special United Nations agency. Capable of withstanding anything the Angels can dish out, the Evangelion's one drawback lies in the limited number of people able to pilot them. Only a handful of teenagers, all born fourteen years ago, nine months after the Angels first appeared, are able to interface with the Evangelion. One such teenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstrom of battle and events that he does not understand, Shinji is forced to plumb the depths of his own inner resources for the courage and strength to not only fight, but to survive, or risk losing everything.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is no masterpiece, but it's not downright terrible either. It's good, but sadly not great.
I promise you, it is just keyboard spam of an anime.

Another drop of insight into the neverending debate, and so help me the Gods!
Classic doesn't equal quality. A critique of one of the most iconic anime.
Basically, this is why I hate Neon Genesis Evangelion
Great premise, very mediocre execution
A frustrating mecha story that left me cold.
Another review of Neon Genesis Evangeline. How boring could it be?

As focused on its world-defending mechs as K-On! is focused on music.
One of the worst overhyped anime I've seen
