I thought it was an interesting concept with interesting characters. It took too long to delve into the mysteries of what was happening though, and the angels became a monster of the week. I understand some of this was to give time to develop the characters as they worked together, but they didn't focus enough on this either. And then I can only assume the writers were rug lulled and shoved 5 seasons worth of lore into the final few episodes, while simultaneously not explaining much of anything. I can gather a lot from implication, but it fell flat on its face, and End of Evangelion movie did very little to clear it up. I think it was aiming for something like Ghost In The Shell where it just "is", but I can tell it is desperately trying to say SOMETHING. Hell if I know what that is though. And the ending is so frantic, I think it's supposed to be a grand conclusion. Very scatterbrained in the execution. Some things like the nature of the angels and mechs are barely addressed or badly explained. And if I'm confused, I know Shinji's dumb ass was, yet the crux of the show is him making far reaching decisions. But what is the message if he doesn't even know what he's talking about in many ways?
Vibes are great though.
