Quote by DigitalDesmadreNeon Genesis Evangelion i have a love/hate
relationship....the series started out great but it quickly became this great piece of prentensious junk....Arrrrgh!!!
I was the complete opposite. :)
I was bored in the beginning, and then from episode 16 onwards I loved it.
I guess the fact that action orienated animes (and action movies for that matter) bore the crap out of me... unless they
have a real intersting story that makes you actually USE you brain.
The last 10 episodes in my opinion are so much better than the 16 before. Because the series starts off so mainstream,
average mecha anime, lots of acion and fanservice.... it's later on it becomes something different and ORIGINAL. I
enjoy the later part of the series much more.
I was a little disapointed in Angelic Layer when I first read it (I read the manga before the anime) I went into it
knowing it was Clamp (my favourite manga-ka) expecting it to be up with the high standards of their other works, and I
was incrediably disapointed. Granted the anime is better than the manga, but the over all story is just like a rehashing
of all their previous characters and series combined (like Tamayo is a obvious combination of Hokuto and Tomoyo) and
thrown into a Pokemon meets Barbie story. It's like a repeat of Card Captor Sakura that has just gone horribly
wrong. And the anime is far too dragged out. 5 manga volumes into 26 episodes.
The only thing good about the series is the angel designs, it's relation to Chobits and Iichan. Other than that...
it's pretty bad, and in my opinion... Clamp's worst work.
