Of course, I would have to show my disappointment for how many episodes were placed per VHS. 2 just simply isn't enough, and I wouldn't even think about purchasing it if they charge over $20.
Now, on to the story. It's actually quite moving, the world is in a desperate time, when the Angels have attacked for the first time in fifteen years. Shinji is called over by his father to help them fight. He is rather anti-social and very unsure of what to do. This shows just the type of character that he is. So far, he has managed to defeat 2 angels (I'm moving on to the second volume here), and even then, he's still unsure of what to do.
Personally, I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far. And I've been hearing that the ending to this series is rather disappointing, and I certainly hope that this isn't the case. I have rarely found any anime that I disliked, and if you like mecha shows, or not sure if you think you'll like it or not, go and rent it. I strongly urge rental first, just like what I did.
Some people may have a hard time getting into this series, but I for one like it, and I can't wait to see more. To each their own, not everybody will like this series. But, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
