Opinion: I still
have yet to see an anime series superior to Evangelion.
This is a review of the DVD release.
This series
maybe the best known anime TV series that is not on Cartoon
Network.
I know this statement may sound bold, but I still
have yet to see an anime series superior to "Evangelion". When I first started
collecting anime (spring/summer 1997), this was the only title that mattered
to the critics I followed, and since I liked "Robotech" and "Voltron" (both series always seem to have questionable video distribution status
until Robotech was recently acquired by ADV Films) I figured I would
give this $25 a VHS, giant robot themed series a chance. A year later,
I had all 13 tapes, the Taiwanese bootleg of the first soundtrack, a set
of imported key chains, and Chinese-subtitled versions of the first two
theatrical films. As far as I am concerned, this dramatic science fiction
series which mixes the classic Japanese standby of giant beings using
a city as an arena and elements of the book of Revelations, is the best
science-fiction series ever made for television (Star Trek, "Doctor Who", and "Babylon 5" fans who object to this statement can reach me at bitemescifigeeks@animeflow.cubs).
