WTF is the Brillian of Neon Genesis Evangelion that i'm not seeing..?

I watched like 10 episodes and CHRIST was it unbelievably boring and nonsensical. Animation is bad, story is vague, Shoot maybe i'm just not smart enough to see what's good about it but I stopped watching out of boredom. I guess it was cool seeing robot things named after fallen angels from esoteric religious texts
