Summary: If I had 4 thumbs, they'd be pointing high!
Review: As I sit here, just having watched Eva Vol 7, I have come to a new conclusion...not only is Eva the best Animated series I have ever seen, it is also the only one I have known to exceed the hype it receives...I mean, this show is better than it is said to be, better than any amount of praise that can be shelled upon it. In Vol 7, we learn of the origins of NERV, the truth about Rei(finally), more insight on both Shinji's and Ritsuko's mother and more on the Human Instrmentality Project. No spoilers here, just the basic facts. Only 3 episodes to go in this spectacular show, and then we're on to Death/Rebirth and End of Evangelion.

Summary: Fine art for the mind and soul. Anime at it's best!
Review: Evangelion has long been hailed for being the most provocative, and groundbreaking anime series in history. It will forever be held as a mark for other series to try and hurdle in regards to art quality, depth, and ability to actually draw you in and make you feel like you're experiencing everything along with the characters.
That being said, this final installment is excellent. This time it delves deep into the inner psyche of the characters, while trying to unravel many of the mysteries dropped throughout the prior episodes. It also reflects the thoughts of the creator of the series and his outlook on the future of the world.
There have been complaints that this being the final episode, not all of the questions were answered and the ending was too surreal.
I agree that there are still questions that need answering, but I liked the ending.
Either way two movies "Death and Rebirth" and "End of Evangelion" will wrap up any loose ends. And will give a more action based ending. They're due out in August 2002 tentatively.
In the mean time buy this! It's well worth it. Evangelion forever!

Summary: Don't listen to the guy below...
Review: Evangelion is one of the deepest, best animated, and intellectually stimulating anime's out there. Yeah, the guy below does suggest some great classics, but Evangelion is the only series out there that BEGS you to read between the lines, look for the symbols, delve into the literary clues AND glory at the above par animation. The characters are inventive and really stand out amongst a sea of big eyes and purple hair. Evangelion may not be the best series for a new fan to anime, but it's one that will spoil you on 90% of the crap anime that's out there.

Summary: Psychosis and Apotheosis.
Review: I cannot truly put into written words the effect this series has had on me. I am probably one of the most desensitized people in existance when it comes to watching violence and suffering of others, but watching this DVD nearly made me cry. This show pushed the limits of everything, EVERYTHING I had seen or known before, past the conceivable barriers of the human mind. If you are even half as hardened and cold as I am then you will be moved to tears by simply watching the chronicles of Evangelion contained on this DVD. Death, life, and the limits of sanity are all brought into question. Rei, Misato, Asuka, and Ritsuko experience horror beyond any that a human being ever has before, and the limits of their minds and the memories they hold are all brought to the redline when the 15th and 16th angels attack and leave hell in their wake. I don't care if you never buy another anime series again: get all the DVDs in this series and then watch as all you thought you knew about God and Man is utterly annihilated. Genesis and Judgment are all brought one step closer to understanding in the most emotionally shattering collection of EVA yet.

Summary: One Of The Best
Review: I have been into Anime for years. This is my second favorite to the Dragon Ball Z series. That In my mind makes this one of the best anime series ever made!! It has a sensitive side yet there is tons of robot and monster thrashing to keep any gender stuck to the T.V.!! BUY IT!!

Summary: Poor girls
Review: I really feel sorry for Rei and Asuka. They both really get beaten up in this one. I wont tell what happens to them, because that would be a spoiler, and i dont like spoilers, but i just wanted to sympathize with them. It must be really stressful being an EVA pilot, then the animators throw THAT at them? how much can a body, although animated, take?

Summary: One of the lousier bits of Evangelion
Review: Ok, let me start off my saying that I am in no way an Eva expet, and I've only seen the first 10 or so episodes up until this DVD. There was a lot of flashbacks, if u like that sort of thing, a lot of sitting around and talking, and almost no action. Not up to the series' standards, I thought. The DVD is great as usual, though. Good sound, good video, good menus, good overall. The acutal content just got boring. I found myself skipping though minute-long scenes of two characters just sitting around, not even saying anything. Hope DVD 8 is better than this.

Summary: Can't stand it
Review: The animation and concept in this DVD are decent, but it was just too boring. There seemed to be very little action in it. It was depressing and slow. I thought ADV would do better than this. If you want to see REAL animation, view one of the following films...
-Akira
-Ghost in the Shell
-Princess Mononoke

Summary: Neon Genesis Evangelion 07
Review: The further this series gets in episodes, the stranger it gets. However, You will also want to see more and more character development.
This is a really great series and I highly recommend it.
The characters are all great, and the plot just grows and grows.
