so on this other site i was taking to someone about the anime, evangelion, i wanted to know what it was about but she said it would sound weird.. has anyone watched it? without big spoilers whats it like?
It's not that weird. I've seen MUCH weirder... But I loved Evangelion all the more. Basically there are a lot of inner conflicts with the main characters, their fears, hopes, anxieties, connections...
It also has a fair bit of religious imagery and philosophy, but not to the point that it's preachy, but rather gives insight to the world as a whole. The way people bond with others...
Major themes include isolation, coping with emotion/problems, confusion, strong emotion... There are a LOT of truly screwed up people in there, but it doesn't really become readily apparent until later on.
It is a legend among animes, truly great in quality and INTENSE in everything... Especially with all this introversion.
Grog asks do they fight in it?
They fight with Giant Robots and "Angels", weird mecha that come from outerspace that look really weird, and have giant eyes...
hmm sounds interesting.. i never watched a giant robot fighting anime before.
Seriously? That's like half the genre right there. ;D

i know ;)
I've watched a few episodes of it, but I can't find a consistent source to watch it. I'll probably just go buy DVD's or something. Because the few episodes I saw were awesome.
The whole set costs like fifty bucks or so. That's about six DVD's. You can probably find it at Best Buy (That's where I got it)
Also, it's only 26 episodes. Shorter anime tend to be more intense.

true, but by the time i would really like the characters it would probally be over
I don't think you've ever seen a short anime... By the first couple episodes, you'll love them.
oh, I should get that.
Probably when I next go on a furmeet (That involved going shopping, eating, drinking, partying, and watching drunk gays play singstar)
(yes, the best was the drunk gays. Playing singstar.)
Anyway, we go to a lot of shops like forbidden planet (you should know what that is), so I can find lots of anime oddities.
Well, I can't say I really know what this is... as for I am not a huge fan of anime.

but not enough time to enjoy them
Oh, but you WILL. Because it's right in-depth from the get-go, you fall in love with them almost instantaneously, enjoying every single moment. You've only seen long animes like Dragon Ball, Naruto, and p robably Bleach. So you have very little experience in how much content there can be in only 26 episodes. It's a lot, and I DO MEAN A LOT.

but alas, even the longest series isnt enough for me mwaha hahaha :-X.
"no amount of digging is enough... dig deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper... :-X"

MT lost it
I'm interested in watching Evangelion, however I can probably only see it online, and I haven't found a place that's as good as the one I use for Fullmetal Alchemist.
And same here, MT, the only animes I've seen are long ones, however, I never got into dragonball (50% of its "dialogue" is "YAAAAHHHHH!!!"). Now if you want LONG animes, watch Gundam. That show has been around since like the 80's. The shortest anime I've seen is FMA, but I'm not even finished with it all.
Gundam - Metaseries
Dragon Ball - Metaseries
Sailor Moon - Metaseries
See where I'm going with this?
Anyway, Those stories take themselves way too seriously, it's like they're for lack of a better word, Soap Operas. Seriously, so long and SO contrived.
Transformers - metaseries

But who doesn't love robots in diguise? ;D
but dragonballs so cool :(
It's a good series, I didn't see a large amount of it, though.
Short series > long series, in my opinion.

you might wanna rephrase that as "but dragonball
is so cool"
Otherwise people might think you were attracted to dragons...
thats not funny :-*
no, I was serious.
I know a few rather cute draggies...
