I've loved anime ever since I saw this There are monsters destroying the world, whom of which are known as Angels. However, a secret organisation known as NERV, located in New-Tokyo has the ability to destroy the Angels with giant robots, known as Evangelions, that are piloted by teenagers. The main character in this anime is Shinji Ikari, who is a very shy, emotionally weak and lonely teenager and is forced to pilot an Evangelion in order to save the world from total destruction.
Because of the first few episodes, it will make this anime look like another clichéd giant robots versus evil forces thing, but it's not a clichéd one. This one is extremely different, after each episode you see, the deeper this show gets; it will become more philosophical, psychological and the characters will turn into people who you can care for. And a lot of the music in this cartoon is so haunting, that it's beautiful and some of the cover versions of the song 'Fly Me to the Moon' are really good, which are heard in each ending credits sequence.
However, one of the only things I didn't like about this anime was some of the animation, which went a bit dull at times and the last two episodes, which didn't properly wrap up this fantastic saga, but thankfully it was perfectly (I repeat, 'perfectly') ended with the movie NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: THE END OF EVANGELION.
This anime is an anime I'll never forget. With a thanks to NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, it has made me in love with anime ever since.
