To make this review fairly short, I highly recommend Evangelion. Anyone wanting to get into anime, or wanting to get deeper into anime should watch this.

now that the short review is done, into the longer more detailed review. [be aware of possible spoilers ahead]

Eva is an amazing anime for all fans, whether you want a casual watch or a deeper more analyzed watch. Evangelion gives you both; they give you the calm slice-of-life vibe whilst they reel in the deeper meanings. Gainax made the show more of an intuitive piece. some may pick up the religious innuendos, such as Lilith being crucified upon the ... tau cross in the original series. While others may just think of it as a more complex mecha story. Eva has been viewed in many different ways over the decades, and most with those unique views still loved the anime.

Onto world building, Eva has a very simple yet interesting world, a world where the same kids you go to school with every day may be working in/with mechas daily after school. they give you this happy children's world, that slowly sinks into a sorrowful bitter world which all can see.

I could've gone on for much much longer, but for a short review, I think this is just fine.
