Am I alone in thinking Evangelion was a garbage show?
I finally watched it fully early last year, after three attempts over the course of 15 years, and, damn, it was disappointingly bad. It was definitely not the 'intellectual' show I was led to believe it was, just constant mecha fights with some psychologisms and emotional breakdowns as well as obscure and underwhelming Biblical/religious references for teen boys to afterwards feel smug about having learned. And the weird sexualizing of Rei and Asuka while they were still like 14 or whatever was very weird.
Maybe I missed the boat by watching it in my 30's instead of my teens but I thought it sucked.
What are shows you think are good, particularly anime shows?
I honestly haven't watched too much anime, but I really liked Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Psycho-Pass (only season 1), and From the New World.
