I would have to say that IMHO Evangelion is the greatest anime ever.. of course that's probably because i'm in love with all of the women on the show. They all have the most complex personalities that the world has ever seen. Whether it's Asuka's incessant whining (which can really piss you off if you easily get annoyed) to Rei's Introvert on downers "I can and will be replaced so I mean nothing" mindset. The Evangelion girls have won worldwide acclaim as among the hottest ladies ever... too bad they are animated... *sigh*. The plot is also excellent. A post (and pre, for that matter) apoctalyptic world that is constantly under attack by beings known as "Angels" To combat these Menaces, mankind "cloned" the Angels and created evas. The plot follows Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami, and Asuka Langley Soryuu as they battle the enemy and insure that humanity will have a world to live in.
