    Mind Blowing

    This series way ahead of its time . "Pacific Rim" is inspired from this series , can't believe they did this 27 years ago .

    Especially this episode is mind blowing . Shinji emotions & awakening of Eva unit 01 is shown amazingly . It's Raw and brutal . The show is crisp & screenplay is perfect without any unwanted scenes or drag .

      Ryôji Kaji: Shinji, the only thing I can do is stand here and water. But you, you have something you can do. That only you can do. Nobody is forcing you. Think for yourself and make that decision by yourself. Think about what you have to do now. Think about no longer having any regrets.
