Summary: Good anime
Review: The serires starts out hard and fast, lots of action, good characters, great art. Sadly, the serires ends with a confusing, and very actionless, limp psychadelic trip. Taken as a whole, the series is dissapointing, due mostly to the ending.

Summary: I love it, but you make your own decision
Review: Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most in depth animes that I have ever seen. So many shows just give you an idea of the character, and there surrondings and then all of a sudden, BAMM!!! they are fighting to save humanity in one way or another(while your still trying to figure out what it all has to do with anything), this is not the case with NGE. In you NGE you feel like the characters are real people, and heaven forbid that there is actually a plot that makes sense(at least if you pay attention:-)
Anyways, the animation is magnificent, the characters are instant favorites, and the plot is solid.
The one warning I have is that there is distinct violence and some nudity. Not for kids or young teenagers thanks to those two things(that and it will probably take a junior high or high schooler to follow and appreciate the story line. By the way, there are religious concepts thrown around throughout the series, if that would affend you. Don't buy this series, if it doesn't, go right on ahead and enjoy the series.

Summary: A classic, but too much attention?
Review: Yes, this series may be considered a classic. After all, it is regarded as the series that revived the anime industry in the 90's, but is it really all that great? Sure, many people would say that the movie contains a lot of Christian elements, but this is just not true. For starters, you should look at the director himself, Hideaki Anno. He, before and possibly during the creation of this series, had been suffering from a major depression. Some would even argue that the characted Shinji Ikari is a version of him in the story. Nonetheless, he found Kaballah scripture (Jewish Mysticism) which accounts for most all the religious content in the series. For those of you unfamiliar, many of the signs, including the tree of sephiroth in Gendo Ikari's office (As well as in the End of Evangelion movie) comes directly from this once esoteric branch of Judiasm. The series is indeed overrated, at times, the series can get a little old for some with Shiji going in circles complaining about everything, but don't we all do that? Actually, the ending of this series was so unsatisfactory for the fans, that due to such a large request an alternate ending was made. The End of Evangelion, which replaces episodes 25 & 26 is actually a more action packed as well as interesting story compared to the more slow paced and what some would refer to as a "psychological thriller" in the series. I remember having bought the original DVD's as they came out, but now I regret it, seeing as this one comes with a neat little storage case for all eight DVD boxes.

Summary: Great collection for a great price
Review: If your a fan of eva, this is a must buy. You save almost $100 by buying this set. Not only that, you save even more from Amazon. I save more here then buying it with my employee discount at my store. This is a great series and a must buy for any anime fan.

Summary: Great, but not perfect yet.
Review: Only get this if it's on sale. The story is one of the best ones that you will ever get involved in, it's deep, it prvocative, and imaginative. The only problem is, Episodes 25 and 26. The story is great up 'til there, but A LOT of details are missing from the story.
There were two movies released. The first one summarizes the series and adds more detail. The second movie focuses on the attack on NERV headquarters by SEELE. The two movies happen right before episode 25 and 26 and fill in all of the gaps. ...It's a great series; if you don't have it, get it. The DVD's don't have any additional features (unless you include subtitles and different languages.) I give it a 4 because the movies haven't been released in America.

Summary: Love at first sight.
Review: Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just the title itself wants to make you find out what the hell it could possibly mean. I'm not gonna sit here boring you with a summary of the story. Just give you the plain facts that this is one of the greatest Anime ever created. Personally it's my favorite. While it includes top notch artwork, I alone would watch it just for the characters. Character development play a big role in movies, and this one keeps you waiting for more! I'm telling you, I'm hyping this series soooo much you're just gonna have to check it out...I have everything imaginable that has been marketed for this series...That's how much I love it...Simply put; A series with beautiful characters you'll hate so much you'll fall in love with, phenomenal artwork, and a gorgeous score to top it off! Why wait for rentals? Own a piece of art today.

Summary: Started out great, then it .....
Review: When I started watching this series, I was hooked by the awsome action scenes and humerouse character interaction. The first action scene was on par with some of the better Anime movies out there, such as Akira. However, I'm afraid that that's what they spent their entire budget on, since after the next few episodes, the story got boring, and WEIRD. They couldn't afford to do any more interesting action scenes, so they resorted to weirdness. Two words: BAD MOVE. Each episode made it more and more obviouse that their budget was gone. And, there are often long pauses with no animation, and you wonder if your DVD player froze. I knew this wasn't the case, since my first encounter with the series was on VHS. This show is definately not for the kids either. It has "barbie doll esque" nudity, and also there is a sex scene in there. The latter though happens to be one of those long pauses, and the camera is fixed on a table, and all we see is an arm. But, there are some very suggestive sounds in there. And, there is an episode with a gay kid, and some parents obviousely wouldn't want their kids to see that. And the ending of the series BITES MONKEYS. Basically, I give this show 2 stars instead of 1 because at the start of the series there are some good action scenes. Watch those, and then leave the rest on the shelf. Don't buy the whole series though, because that's like buying an entire case of spoiled milk just so you can have the 1 good carton on top.

Summary: a truly perfect collection.
Review: At last a culmination of all the previously released DVDs. I won't bore you with a summary of the series; if you're prepared to spend the [price] for this collection, you'll know it already. The quality is excellent, at least in comparison to the vhs releases, and the menu features a more-or-less packed, yet sometimes annoying amount of previews, as well as a few summary character profiles. The only thing to annoy me was their use of space on the dvds. An entire disk could have been saved if every one had been supplied with 4 eps like the first three. This is how it was in the japenese release, and they got episodes 25' and 26'. Therefore, one star away from "perfect"ion.

Summary: The best video senst akira
Review: I think this video collection is the bomb of all bombs. It has a great story. It also has great art work too. If you are going to get this, get it all in one sale. The best part about this video is the robots that they use and the alien beast that they have to kill. Its like having to fight godzilla all over again.
