That said, if you look at the (supposedly) objective viewpoint of what sells, and what is popular, Shin Seiki Evangelion is a landmark. There's a reason so many people like it, and if you don't, that's fine...but you really can't say its a poor anime: something that's just inherently bad doesn't sell that well.In regards to the content of the series itself, I would debate this, but since the tone of this thread has already become "Evangelion is teh suxx0rs" (with slightly better spelling), I'm bowing out now. Instead, to understand more of the series, here are some articles about it written by someone far more knowledgeable than I:<a href="http://www.animenation.net/news/askjohn.php?id=698" target="_blank">What makes an anime good?</a> (general to all anime)<a href="http://www.animenation.net/news/askjohn.php?id=325" target="_blank">Can you explain the meaning of Evangelion?</a><a href="http://www.animenation.net/news/askjohn.php?id=8" target="_blank">Can you explain the final episode of Evangelion to me?</a><a href="http://www.animenation.net/news/askjohn.php?id=313" target="_blank">Why is Evangelion so popular?</a></blockquote>
