A pretty condescending review. :P
So... Is this supposed to be a positive review or a negative one?
I assume the reviewers is massively sarcastic, though I could be wrong.
I think they drew their own conclusions, and saw the good and bad of the show. Sarcastic or not, I really like this review: genuine or not, it hits the nail on the head regarding the second quarter of the show and the all-out budget-destroying scenes such as the sunset over Tokyo-3.
There is something very Micheal Jackson=[esque]= about that last line... (And to all the children, CONGRATULATIONS!)
I think this reviewer gets that.
Olives are a food I like
This review was not intended as sarcastic, I merely wrote my thoughts on what I had watched.
I'm so sorry that my avatar doesn't appear fully in the shot, but the cat was threatening the photographer.
Libido, I should have thought of that for my review. I think our opinions are kind of similar though you got laughs out to the scenes instead of groans. To each his own?
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
I think if I were more familiar with other anime this series may have had more of an impact on me beyond sending me into tears of laughter, but I can't deny the quality of the story and the fact that the characters are highly relateable, with many of them reminding me of ACTUAL REAL PEOPLE I have known in Real Life.

Absolutely hilarious, wildly entertaining
A fantastic mixture of genuine inspired brilliance with so bad it's hilarious moments of gold. The concluding episodes in particular are a hoot, with their awful psychology (ala Sigmund Freud) and awful philosophy (ala Michael Jackson) rolled together with a strangely beautiful Post Modern style, the result of which is surely one of the greatest works of art in the history of man kind.
The movie, meanwhile, gives a supposedly more conclusive resolution to the story, and yet I have not since watching it stopped wondering what may actually happen, and what it actually meant. I find it's position as both a retelling of revelation and a prequel to genesis gloriously blasphemous, and any work brave enough to pull of such a feat deserves much acclaim.
I highly recommend this series to anyone with a spare 12 hours or so on their hands whom is also prepared for the fact that this programme will wipe your libido from the face of existence for a good few days afterwards, such is the level of Fan Disservice present throughout the show.
More than compensating for this is the number of things throughout this show which one may choose to describe as being 'awesome'. From Misato's choice of transport
◊ to the beautiful sunset over the moving buildings of Tokyo-3, to the majesty of the Evangelions themselves, no mere words can describe the sheer awe that this programme emanates, and the only way one can discover this is by watching it for themselves.
Admittedly some episodes are very much weak links, episode 10 in particular was largely boring and rather a bog to watch, although it did bring some interesting character development for Asuka, although perhaps that episode merely seemed dull after her marvellous introduction in the two episodes immediately preceding it. It is also notable that upon Asuka's introduction the series takes a decided change in tone, which, despite providing much comedy initially, soon runs the series into a lull from which it takes several episodes to recover. The earlier, slower episodes did seem rather more enjoyable to this troper than the episodes in the second quarter of the series, such is the way.
Overall, a tremendous piece of television.
