i personally don't care for it at all. i guess it's cool that it tries to subvert the typical mech shit with this psychological coming of age angle, but i gotta be honest, if i wanted that, i'd just watch eureka 7 or FLCL instead

Never. They thought symbolism was a good replacement for substance, but the series falls off more and more as it goes on.

Ah, you're in it for the mech battles. For you it's gonna get good around episode 8.
imo, it gets good and becomes "Evangelion" in episode 16.

90s kids grew up with the original dub of Evangelion and despite the voice actors having no idea what the series was about and a few mistranslations (where the OG fans love to get angry at anyone who uses the proper ones, btw) believe it is the greatest dub of all time. They are so, so wrong. Watch sub.

Netflix dub is forcibly accurate to the original Japanese (there's a whole story, but Studio Khara kept a very close eye on them to make sure everything was translated exactly as it "should be"), so if any lines sound weird, it's because the English dub was partially written by Japanese people.
A lot of OG fans have a big problem with it, because- as I said- they grew up with mistranslations and believe those to be the "correct" version. The new dub does have a few problems with phrasing stuff in a way that sounds like a human person is talking, but other than that it's fine.

The biggest problem with Netflix's Evangelion is that due to licensing issues, they were unable to get the original Ending Theme: Fly Me to the Moon.
There were various different versions of the song sung at the end of each episode by Rei's VA, Asuka's VA, Misato's VA, and the singer for A Cruel Angel's Thesis.
https://evangelion.fandom.com/wiki/Fly_Me_to_the_Moon
(btw the reason it lists episodes 21-24 twice is because the DVDs made those episodes longer. The lengthened versions are referred to as Episode 21'-24'. Netflix does have the extended versions)

I don't know why people think Netflix would unnecessarily censor something like that.

I finished the series this last week and enjoyed it. I'd definitely consider it more symbolic of one's struggle with mental illness and the inner self than something looking to 'tell a story' (especially considering the ending doesn't really resolve much in a narrative sense).

I haven't watched any of the movies but something I'll be getting around to doing at some point.

the animation in the beginning middle of the series still holds up really well. the rest... is wildly inconsistent.

I get the impression that it was meant to be a fanservice bonanza to move merchandise, and in that regard it was a smashing success. it also gets pretty out there in the late teens episodes and early twenties iirc in a way that was new and interesting and then... well you'll see.

It's definitely worth a watch.

Hey, remember when I said that the old dub was awful? Here's another huge reason why. One of the voice actors was so proud of how he didn't understand the show that he went on a rant in the recording studio. And the producers, for some asinine reason, decided to include it.
I normally try not to let the actions and thoughts of people in a production affect my opinion of it, but Jesus Christ that's disrespectful.
