It’s been more then 5 years since I watched it, and almost a year since I’ve forced myself to stop watching Anime so I can get some things done with my life, but this still makes my skin tingle with anticipation.
Neon Genesis Evangelion was the first Anime I’ve ever fully watched, it did well to pull me into this fascinating genre and triggered a years-long addiction, and while I’ve since watched many a good series, there was never anything quite like it.
I do not know what it is about Evangelion that makes it so unique, the story is rather simplistic, and the characters, while intense, are non the less rather simple, but the series has a way of inspiring emotional involvement, a way of making one believe that every word, every gesture, indeed every breath is important and meaningful and its has a distinct style to it that cannot be mistaken.
I know there must be many new series out there I’d enjoy watching, but I must not if I’m to avoid getting drawn in again, but just this once, when Rebuild of Evangelion is out I’m going to allow myself the pleasure.
