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

I just saw this after my last response to your PM.

The fact is that I only watched Serial Experiments Lain after seeing Evangelion several times. It was recommended to me because I liked Evangelion so much. I could talk about that show endlessly. I agree though that the most interesting episodes are 15+, including the movie "End of Evangelion".

It really is a fascinating story. You won't get a sense of what it's really about unless you watch the whole series, though. The appeal of Evangelion is what it seems to be at first, what it's not, and what it [i]becomes[/i] as the series progresses. Evangelion seems to be one thing from the outset. By the end it's clear that it's much, much more.
