Emotionless Lover Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I'm not that much of a fan of the Mecha genre but I have watched one although it's sort of a modern one and that series is Knights & Magic. Can someone like me who doesn't really like "Mecha" watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 It's a good series up until the last two episodes. Which they completely botched, I've never quite made up my mind if this was due to running out of money, running out of time or just not knowing how to end the story, or perhaps it was a combination of all of them. Definitely not a series I plan on watching again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaConsumesMe Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Well personal opinion here, Evangelion belongs to a special category of anime the deconstruction. Other deconstructionist anime include Madoka Magica and Hunter x Hunter (a manga first). Deconstruction's work best with prior knowledge of the source material weather primary or secondary. As a result, the best experience from the show would be to have a least a good understanding of Mecha. However when I first watched it I found the show overall. Eva also has some Auteur moments from the director, Anno Hideaki, such as long drawn out elevator scenes and a part of himself interwoven into each many character. Also if you watch Eva I'd recommend watch the original series, and the End of Evangelion film. I've recently watched the first three rebuild films and found them lacking.

peachtea Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Normally I'm not into anime with too much fanservice type themes but I'm liking Neon Genesis Evangelion. Right now I'm on episode 11. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaking66lives Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Evangelion is one of the true anime that got me hooked. Deeper than you think...it got the shaft when the studio didn't have enough money for the director's planned ending. I've watched it a few times and find new things to ponder over every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifoilon Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'd go with Animedragon and MediaConsumesMe's opinions. It's definitely a must watch anime but is a bit 'interpretive' at the end. The mech aspect is not really the central focus of the series, rather a mechanism to explore the authors deeper issues with humanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"interpretive" is a very good way of describing the final couple of episodes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
