This is what I mean when I say I feel like I'm the only one who likes the show. Despite it's supposed popularity I can't talk about it with anybody. I'm like a reverse hipster, jumping on something super popular because I actually like it unlike the people who have been "fans" of it for years. 
 I do not like Evangelion or Gainax anime in general, I just have a hard on for Rei and Asuka especially. I think that's like 90% of the discourse.

 Evangelion is okay as "your first anime" but if you have good taste, you move away from it.

I feel like it'd be terrible for that, considering how out there it is. And if they have the idea that anime is just for perverts is probably the worst, considering both that it deals with sex as a theme and what the online discourse is like. Really I think if you want people to get into anime you need to tailor your recommendations to them. For example if they like capeshit recommend them your favorite battle-shounen. 
 It has giant well animated motherfucking robots, cute girls and some nonsensical story, which is perfect to discuss if you dont know any better. 
 i understand it because its all recycled themes from his earlier shows and its p decent in that context

i just think outside of nice designs and music it's not that remarkable let alone being the massive meme tier show it is

 The robot fights are actually pretty good, shame about everything else.
