Evangelion

I've been watching anime since longer than I can remember. Although between 2000 and 2006, I was heavily wrapped up in the MMORPG Everquest so 90% of all of my time awake was spent playing this game, I still managed to sneak in a few series while I was doing other things. It wasn't until 2004 that I finally got around to watching Evangelion. I, in part, avoided it because of the tremendous amount of hype I'd encounter when browsing for recommendations or looking into my next purchase. When I finally gave in and bought a used copy of the Perfect Collection, I was blown away by the layers upon layers of themes and a story that is told in a sparse way but was deceivingly complex. It was the first show that I watched that prompted me to actually read, and later discuss, about in online forums. And that's where it all began.
