It was two endings
episode 25-26 of the TV show

I watched it when I was 14 and found it very relatable at the time. They knew exactly how to appeal to the sexually frustrated depression that is the psychology of a 14 year old boy.
If you're not 14 tho I'm not sure how enjoyable it's gonna be. Still has some nice surreal scenes I suppose.

It's unironically one of the best anime ever made
This says more about anime then anything else TBBQH, anything worthwhile that could have came out of the industry died with Satoshi Kon

It's also like the only anime I ever watched entirely. I think I got through 2 seasons of Death Note too once but otherwise anime never caught my interest. NGE though I was almost obsessed with at the time.

I was 18-19 when I first watched it. It was nice but not incredibly satisfying, can't really get through it nowadays tho

End of Evangelion is still super fun to watch just for the crazy visuals

I watched it when I was 13 and it blew my mind, similarly to the effect American Psycho had on 16-year-old me but more pathetic.

Its like Catcher
in the Rye, absolutely phenomenal at 14, but you connect to it less the older you are.

Watch the tv series [the directors cut for the final 4 episodes or so] and EoE. That's the best Eva has to offer.

I like it a lot, The main character can be annoying but you have to remember he's a 14 year old who grew up without a dad and isn't some super brave MC who loves what he's "chosen" to do like a lot of other anime.
It's seen as foundational to a lot of modern anime.
the ending (last 2 eps) are notoriously bad. (unless you like high concept BS art, then you'll love it)
What I love about it is the relationships between characters and the worldbuilding put a lot of modern anime to shame.
There is some drama about how to watch the series, I would just watch the OG series, then watch End of Evangelion (EoE is basically a replacement of the last 2 episodes, making them less high concept.). After that you can watch the rebuilds of evangelions, which are basically just reimaginings of the series. The first two movies are the first half of the show, then the 2nd two movies change a lot, and as is tradition the last like hour of the 4th movie is garbage. The first half though is really good.

It's amazing how having literally any vision at all makes your series stand head and shoulders above almost everything else. Assuming you aren't being an intentional contrarian it does a good job of it's plot of, "14 year old kid put into the impossible situation of being humanity's only hope (and a pawn of a bunch of illuminati frickheads and his dad)"

No. It was very mid, but then the last 4 or 5 episodes they completely ran out of money and it devolved into an unwatchable mess. It pretends to be "deep" but only in a way 14 year olds would think because after all it's a fricking anime. Hard pass.

It's good, as far as anime goes. The show is really short, so you're not wasting too much time even if you end up not liking it.

its good and worth watching at least once but still overrated by reddit types who think its SO HECKIN DEEP because they're obsessed with understanding the true meaning of the schizo shit that's actually just there for aesthetics

It's not bad, but it's not great. It's typical anime teenager nonsense (with a really shit ending), but at least there was an ending. I liked it more for the animation itself and big robot fights.
