I just finished Evangelion.
Can someone explain to me why it is memed so much? It was a pretty average series to be honest. Going to watch the movie next.

Excellent lore.

It has one of the best anime intro ever.

Don't look for any other explanation, there isn't.

Its very influential. You have no idea how influential because you only live in post-90s anime era but go watch anime from the 80s thats how all anime looked before Eva. Now you know.

I finished it last week and I have to ask how can rei fags even exist
Like how can they even consider any girl other than Misato and Asuka? Nice fetal alcohol syndrome

This summarizes it pretty good.

it's literally a meme anime, taylor made for reddit

This.
You're welcome to love or hate or just appreciate Eva but you can't refute its influence on anime or its popularity. The "its2deep4you" meme struck a nerve with the sensitive brainlets of Sup Forums so people started to hate it or if you chose to "get" it you'll see "themes" that aren't really there in order to make excuses for its obvious flaws. I give it a solid 8.5/10.

Also, this opinion is going off the original 26 episodes and the movies. I've never seen the Rebuilds but I hear they're garbage. I'll probably break down and watch them anyway.

you only think it's "average" either because your taste is shit, or you've only seen like five series including LoGH and berserk or something.

it's obscenely good but got btfo a year later

rei's strengths become apparent in the second watch-through. she's just as good of a character, just more subtle.

This is the insecure brainlet I was talking about. He fell for the "2deep4you" meme and over-analyzed Eva. Don't engage these people. Reasonable conversations are hopeless.

do you need to talk about something, user?

I'm here for you.

It's only still relevant because of waifuwars and newfags having to be spoonfed everything.

7/10

>anime can't be deeper than the surface plot hurr
every time

What is that? A pic for ants?

Forgive me for not considering the non-ants of this board.

Much better

A very highly developed world and backstory, also, a lot of people identified with a lot of the characters.

>I just finished Evangelion.
NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T! YOU DIDN'T FINISH THIS FUCKING SERIES! IT'S ANOTHER FUCKING BAIT THREAD, AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY EVA THREADS SHOULD BE BLANKED BANNED!

>Can someone explain to me why it is memed so much?
It is probably the deepest anime that's not based on a manga.

So it's about as deep as Naruto, in other words.

I guess your brain is sub average.

Probably because evangelion was influential enough to make such a splash that the simalir things that you have seen are derivative from it.

Did Eva diddled you as a kid?

It feels a lot like Code Geass where there's good characters and story with a fantastic ending, but most of the series is filler shit you don't really care about.

As a animation, yes, it isnt as strong as i though it would be. It starts pretty slow, becomes you kinda generic shounen in the middle. The real gold is the later half and ending.

I know that they arent even close to a real human mind complexity, but it was pretty good to see characters with more than 1 or 2 emotions and with real mind problems. Better than 99% of anime on that point.
