i've heard good things about that one

also logh is a lot and can be slow but damn is it a masterpiece :P

the new adaptation in progress (die neue these) is good and probably more accessible, but probably not as good as the original. i feel like the original takes more care in translating things that can't be conveyed outside a novel, using extra characters and good narration. also the new adaptation is nowhere near complete.

I've vaguely felt like I should watch that show for years now, idk if I'll ever actually get to it though

I'm currently having a lot of feelings about March Comes In Like a Lion and I highly recommend it to everybody. It is so sweet and also so sad and it makes me feel warm like no show has ever done before.

going to mention some nasty concepts in this post but I won't describe any specifics

the back half of the series actually has less "fanservice" IIRC but also does this somewhat by engaging in a bait and switch against it's audience and having some really nasty sexual assault imagry so be prepared to deal with that

it is weird how that dichotomy is because when you look at specific scenes and some shot choices and merchandising the way they treat women is so fucked up but the women in the story are really interesting and complex and an important part of the story to me at least was how they get mistreated (mostly by men). like if the protagonists are shinji and misato, then the biggest people around them story-wise are rei and asuka, and ritsuko and kaji (and the adults/teens reflect each other in neat ways, most noticeably with the protagonists)

evangelion has a lot of problems but it was super impactful on me as a young teenager so it still holds a place in my heart. its just hard for me to ever really recommend it to anyone without some caveats. >.<
