About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast, stylish giant-creature action with bursts of emotion and a reimagined story path, like Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion; Not for you if you need clear explanations and slow-burn introspection.
Pros: intense Angel battles; gorgeous animation; familiar yet fresh cast | Cons: confusing bigger picture; thinner emotional depth; some fanservice
