Evangelion

[MatthewThief]

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?

[darkphantomime]

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?

[darkphantomime]

They fight with Giant Robots and "Angels", weird mecha that come from outerspace that look really weird, and have giant eyes...

[MatthewThief]

hmm sounds interesting.. i never watched a giant robot fighting anime before.

Seriously? That's like half the genre right there. ;D

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.

[darkphantomime]

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

[darkphantomime]

I don't think you've ever seen a short anime... By the first couple episodes, you'll love them.

[Evilbob]

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.

I don't think you've ever seen a short anime... By the first couple episodes, you'll love them.

but not enough time to enjoy them

[darkphantomime]

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.
