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.
