There is no anime better than Neon Genesis: Evangelion (IMO).
It's creeping up on being 20 years old, but it's still one of those anime that others are judged by.
The story is well written with in-depth character development and character interactions. There is a certain obscurity of plot that goes along quite well with the whole "secretive international organization" meets "mix between supernatural and science".
As far as I'm concerned, it's nigh perfect.
And SAO falls far short of Evangelion.

-
Nothing compares to evangelion that just isn't fair.
-
I agree.
-
Evangelion is the best anime I've ever seen. By far my favorite. The rebuild series is great so far too.

-
she was supposed to be :P <3 Auska
-
But she was so damn cool. Even when she had her mental breakdown on the ocean floor, it was so well written and at that perfect place in character development... I liked Asuka.
-
I mean, from a technical standpoint, yes, she's a great character, very well written, but I still couldn't take her being an arrogant piece of shit. There were times that I just wanted to punch her lol

-
Think of this Pacific rim
-
Congrats on having better taste than most on this thread. You like og ending or end of eva better?
-
I do like the OG ending, but the rewrite with EVA was much better done IMO. The reboot has me very intrigued, and I can't wait to see what's in store there.
-
If the reboot nge I'd shit bricks I've been watching that whole series once a year since I was like 8 haha haven't skipped a year
-
They already did this, actually they are still producing them. We are currently up to 4.44 in Japan I believe.Ive seen up to 3.33. And yes they are AMAZINGGGGGG
-
Same. It's up there with my annual reading of 'the Silmarillion' and 'The Lord of the Rings'. Some stories are just told so well that they deserve a special place in a person's life. NG:E is one of those stories.
-
they redid it and they are telling the story to a conclusive end with 4 movies
-
Wait what No way Send me the link
-
Google it man lol it pops up everywhere. lol

The rebuild saga is actually pretty good, went more cinematic route so it won't cover filler episodes really. They wanted to draw more towards the mainstream audience this time but heck even old fans of NGE will get a kick out of this one! 3.0 I must say though that they REALLY went a new route this time. The advice I can offer is pay close attention to 3.0 first time watching it, heck watch it again if you have to. I've watched it about eight times and I still learn something new. I feel 4.0 will give more explanations to 3.0 . Either way (though I am not exactly a veteran fan of NGE considering I started the series in May) it still manage to draw me in and felt just like the good ol' Evangelion to me!

Was just watching that one again with End of Evangelion. Good times.
-
It is one of the best that is for sure. Wouldn't say greatest of all time but it is definitely up there.

Edited by nzkt: 8/26/2014 1:54:39 AMI agree but if you are just watching one of your first animes then NGE might be a little too intense... SAO is a good beginner anime
-
So... SAO = NG:E Lite? lel
-
not even close.. hahaha
-
Agreed. lol
