first of all and i do not presume myself to be an otaku or some sort of anime or manga highlord and however this be the single best anime i have ever see and i have see quite a few . if you be like me and enjoy anime that be not a long ( only 13 episode plus a 25 min ovum . ) and can stand some violence and can look at female nudity without go all childish and horny about it this anime be for you . it have a very deep story and along with the best anime song i have ever hear . after watch the anime i get into read the manga and all and it be a very rich story and it be very beautifully direct . also if you get nothing to do one day you can easily watch it in it entirety and fall in love and laugh and and cry with the character . if you enjoy evangelion you will most certainly enjoy this and and it be well than evangelion .
