Well. Where do I start? Characters are annoying except for Ms. Misato, that exhibitionist drunken girl really made me laugh.

Artists who drew the so called “Angels” exhausted their creativity in chapter 02, where the only “nice battle” takes place, the rest of the “Angels” and the battles are exponentially more ridiculous with every chapter (It seems japanese had no more creativity and included some children’s drawings).

Why do japanese have an obsession for nuclear explosions? I liked them, however, along with the audio effects.

The Eva pilots: Teenagers in too tight clothes, which might be a certain sort of “fantasy” for some people or the source of anger for others. Do Power Rangers wear so tight cloths? I don’t think so, I should’ve noticed. Nudity? Sexual content? Violence? OK, a bit of white underwear from time to time, nothing to be afraid of, very brief, inoffensive compared to what people can see nowaday in a TV ad, an MTV/VH1 video or the Transformers movie.

The plot is not too bad, all the story could be told in a single tiny chapter, or could be either be written in the back of the box.

The use of certain Christian/Catholic symbols/names/references may be annoying or disgusting for some people, I had no problem.

Fan service? Hey, where is it? At the end of each chapter the narrator (Miss Misato?) says the next chapter will have “fan service too”, perhaps I bought the Censored Platinum Collection or the translation is wrong, or, will there be an Uncensored Director’s Cut Platinum Collection?

The soundtrack: you end loving the intro melody and is now part of your karaoke collection or you end hating it, as well as the song at the end of each chapter while the credits roll.

The audio, sound effects and image quality are good.

Well, this series is not too bad, I mean, I’ve seen worst things: Disney movies and Cartoon Network series for instance, they still overshadow this Evangelion series in that respect by far.

So, this series is actually for children. If you are 13+ years old and really enjoyed this series, then, your adulthood is a very very long way ahead.

so i payed for this box set and i never got it…so sometimes i pretend how good the dvds could be, but the truth of the matter is i have no clue because what happen is i payed but then never recieved anything. I do find it odd that amazon would send me an email to write a review for an item that they never sent me but i did pay for it. I suppose that’s half the fun though, paying…i guess if i never payed for the item i wouldn’t be feeling this swarm of exciting emotions such as anger, regret, and rage. It’s sort of like approaching someone of the oppisite gender for me…if i wouldn’t have in the first place i would always wonder would could have been but in this case with the dvds i did “go for it” only to be shot down and left with a little less than i had before…if someone that did pay for the boxset of evangellion and actually did get the dvds in-tact via postage, i would appreciate any secrets you could share about your success!

I have seen that gimmick from some other websites when they made the price error. but Amazon.com? It was pretty shocking when I discovered amazon.com took out my order for this dvd set without notice and pretended nothing ever happend. i am really disappointed.
