That is specifically a TV poll, hence no movies being in there. Aside from #1 and #4 I am heavilyu cringing.

As I've said before I've no problem with Neon Genesis Der Krieg, and, obviously, neither do the Japanese. If it appears so many times on Top 10 polls, then it must appeal to vast audience in Japan and therefore a GOOD series.

Well, the Der Krieg chicks make it watchable. Just focus on Misato and Asuka and everything does look peachy. If only Shinji didn't talk...

Seeing as you were made the Official AJAS Whinger, it just stands to reason that you like a series that involves a guy that complains about his lot in life.

neon genisis was a good anime, except for the crap ending. i remember watching it when it was first released,and it was groundbreaking. dont try and compare it to anime of today, as that is doing it an injustice. compare it to what else was around then. most of the users in this forum would not have even known what anime was back then. the fact that it is still held in high regard these days speaks for itself...

9, 5, 4 and 3 I agree with being on the list, but not neccessarily in that order. 8)

You're still being too kind to it. That's an insult to decent goats everywhere.

IF NGE didn't have Shinji in it, then it may have been decent. That guy just ruins the lot.

NGE rips off all the best ideas of Ideon and presents them as new. If you squint hard enough, you can pretend that it was even a competent production, as opposed to the budgetless exercise in bare-bones-showing anime that also doubles as Philosophy 101.

Yes, it has Misato and Asuka, but even the worst show has something going for it. No wait.... Speed Grapher had nothing going for it. Forget what I just said. NGE blows despite having Misato and Asuka. Just ask Gainax, who won't let Anno anywhere near a director's seat....

The real war was over by the time Eva aired in Australia. What followed were like the tribes of apes in the opening segment of 2001: A Space Odyssey, snarling and screeching pointlessly at each other.

Shinji as an ape...that's a major improvement.
