When did you first see it, and what did you think?

Was it your first/only anime if you did see it?

inspired by LCL vs FCL.

I saw it (and the ending movie) when I was a teenager in the 90’s. I found the movie to be one of the most depressing things I’d ever seen at the time, because…

Tap for spoilerso many characters die in ways that essentially negate all the progress they’d made towards achieving their particular goals. Also, much of the series is basically watching 14-year-olds go through war trauma.

Other than that, I really liked it. Since then, I’ve seen much better anime, but Evangelion is still great and a classic.
