I watched the first ten episodes, and it seems to be just a monster-of-the-day show with lots of fanservice. Am I missing something?
It's a good show, but so overrated that it can never live up to expectations. Stick with it and the "End of Evangelion" movie will provide a nice payoff at the end.
The endless new EVA redux cash grabs are another story altogether. Redux EVA is basically a cynical welfare program for Anno based on tarting up old girl EVA with Otaku fanservice like "glasses girls", and making her "turn tricks" in this new guise for pimp Anno.
It was an early anime to get mainstream success and exposure in the west which I think contributes a lot to it's reputation. It's also a pretty big mindfuck for 14 year olds.
Also Rei a shit.
EVA is pretty good. Awesome animation & designs and kinda good story. imo tho
Pose this question on 4chan's /a/ then enjoy the fireworks
Evangelion picks up around episode 14.
Rebuild of Evangelion never picks up though, it's really bad. Don't watch Rebuild.

That's a bloody long time for a show to get good, especially for my 3 episode rule.

I like the early episodes though, but they're definitely less "action-packed" and intense than the later ones, and some people dislike that about them.
I just recently watched it myself. Although it did fail to meet my lofty expectations of it I still really enjoyed watching it. Certainly not the greatest anime ever made but it definitely still holds up.
I watched it somewhat recently. No other series is as hyped it seems to me. I enjoyed it a lot - my favorite scene was when Rei smiles. I didn't enjoy End of Evangelion or the Rebuilds as much though.

People say Eva starts slow and gets better, but my experience was the opposite. I thought it was really good when I first started watching. Then it slowly shit the bed. It's a pretty good show, overall tho.
Asuka is the cutest. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
overrated shit
Overrated as fuck, but it's still good, so it's worth watching regardless. Just avoid any discussions of it outside this place.
Rebuilds a shit. Eva cultists an even bigger shit.
Evangelion sux

I think the rebuilds kinda miss a lot of what made the original great, but like the original EoE, there's some very nice payoff for making it to the end. That makes it worthwhile overall but I think it will remain distinctly separate from the Eva canon for me.
Now, should I give the FLCL remake a go...?

Only if you fall into one of two categories:
The sequels aren't bad; if it dropped Haruko completely and was it's own original property they would be a solid 5/10 but when you have to compare them to the original FLCL they legitimately have no right to exist when they just try and fail to do what the original already did perfectly, and utterly fail to follow it or build up on what the original did.
Yes, I'm still mad.

Seems related to events in EoE, otherwise who the fuck knows - I pretend all that redux shit doesn't exist.
The scenes of devastation in the last rebuild look like blender physics demos. It was clearly made with the intent of pissing people off becuase of how objectively awful it is.
Blue girl will always be better.

Basically in End of Evangelion when Shinji had a huge wank while Asuka was in a coma he came in her eye and now she needs to wear an eyepatch.
>make furikuri 2 please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please
ok
>wtf it isn't as good as original fuck you
we know

Anyone with a brain understood it didn't need a sequel. As usual retards and Americans ruin everything
