Neon Genesis Evangelion
Vassara Inugami's Opinion
After Rurouni Kenshin this is my favorite anime. It features great drawings, great sounds, a amazing soundtrack, very smooth animation, great character designs and the best thing, it features a great story.
The drawings and animation are great, specially the battle scenes featuring the mechas. You can see that they had spent lots of time just to create a small battle. There's no repeated animation, which is something I don't like in anime. I think that they are the most detailed mechas I've seen and if they are not, they definitively deserve one of the first places.
The sounds and soundtrack are both great. When I saw it the first time I was surprised to see so many different songs performed by complete orchestras, and each one of those songs was great. The sounds are great too. There's so much variety and the explosions are great.
The characters are very well designed. Though there were some characters I didn't like that much at first, when I saw the complete story and I realized how important they were, I liked them a lot. The variety in their moods, and their past backgrounds are great, each character is hiding something important.
The story is very complicated and confusing at first, and that something very cool, because it keeps you thinking about it. It is one of the few series that let you thinking about it's meaning till' several weeks later.
I will give the series a perfect 10 because it is very original (I still haven't seen anything like it) and in top of that it is a very well done series, which is a combination that's rarely seen.
