Just finished watching it (including director cut and end of evangelion). Well, it's good, i kind of get what they wanted to say/give. But damn if i hate Shinji (main character). For me it would be a 10/10, but it loses points:

1 point because you can put inside all the art and the concepts that you want, you can go wherever you want with the plot, i don't mind, as long as you don't leave holes. I don't want to spoiler here, but be aware that a good part of the things you will hear/see concerning the world of this anime will never be explained. So if you don't plan to make a deep analysis (probably on youtube already) just pass on every name, code, terminology that you don't understand. In the end most of the wierd names used to describe the technologies or whatever could be changed with banana/kiwi/avocado and nothing would change.

2 points [spoiler] are lost because the main character is just awful, painful, stupid little brat 100% of the time. There is a tiny window where i though: "wow, maybe we are going to see this character growing." But no, not even at the end of the end he could have a 1% of spine. God i think that he's one of the most awful main character EVER. And yeah child trauma, stressful situations (caused 99% of the time because he's basically useless and just cries all the time, then bad things happen and for what, a little of development? Are you crazy? Is obviously so he can cry again until the next opportunity of moving half a finger, but instead just cry some more, and repeat in cycle the same thing.
Sometimes you see his eyes changing in reaction to something bad, classic trigger before "i kick your ass" moment. NEVER. Crazy demonic eyes, let's get back to scream and cry mode.
For the record i am not complaining about the fact that he's not a super bad ass hero, i'm complaining because for every single reaction of this guy i was thinking "oh my god this guy" and hoping (i knew it was impossible, but i was desperate) that he would have died bad like at half of the serie. Unfortunately i have big problems if i can't "connect" at all with the main character and this is the case. [/spoiler]


Anyway worth watching.
