In episode 15, a village is consumed by fire and it’s blamed on an underground oil spill reacting to a moth demon randomly crashing onto a watch tower with a torch which subsequently exploded, except there’s no way it could have affected the oil in order to cause the fire to consume the village. The show also constantly beats you over the head regarding how tragic things are, and it often has the narrator or character reiterating what they’re doing. Apart from one spoiler-heavy moment a bunch of characters could have easily avoided if they had any sense of urgency, these are the only real big issues I can think of regarding issues with bad writing. The episodic narratives are generally fine enough on their own. It’s just that most of them feel rather samey and end up not mattering. The overarching narrative, despite being on autopilot, isn’t necessarily badly written either. It’s just unengaging thanks to the main character arc that drives the plot not being handled well and the characters being on autopilot.That just leaves the music, which is somehow my least favorite part of the show. The background OST has decent tone-setting tracks, but nothing memorable. Half the time, I didn’t even know there was a soundtrack. Then we have the OPs and EDs.
— Nick Verboon, Unreality Mag (June 13, 2013)[159] Neon Genesis Evangelion received critical acclaim both domestically and internationally during its initial broadcast and in the decades since its release. [160][161][162] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 100% based on 31 reviews, with an average rating of 8. 3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Neon Genesis Evangelion, both a cultural touchstone for Japan and an uncompromising auteurist vision by creator Hideaki Anno, doubles as an enthralling apex for the mecha anime genre and as a harrowing exploration of depression – making for a wholly singular epic about angels and inner demons. "[163] Paste, IGN, and Comic Book Resources have named it as one of the best anime series of all time. [164][165][166] The "richness" of the characters and "complex and layered" narrative has received praise by critics. [167][168][169] In 1998, Max Autohead of Hyper rated it 10 out of 10, praising the "brilliant and fantastic storyline, with amazing characters who pull you not only into their world, but into their psyche as well". [170] The same year, Shidoshi of GameFan magazine gave it an A rating, calling it an "awesome" series. [171] Mike Hale of The New York Times described it in 2009 as "a superior anime, a giant-robot tale of unusual depth, feeling and detail. "[172] Following the conclusion of the series' original television broadcast, the public and critical reception to Neon Genesis Evangelion was polarized,[173] particularly with regard to the final two episodes. The experimental style of the finale confused[174] or alienated many fans[54][58] and spawned debate and controversy;[160][175] the criticism was largely directed toward the lack of storyline resolution in the final two episodes.
