So, I watched Evangelion 1.11 today. I'd never seen anything from the Evangelion series before, but since it's so popular, and with the new film just come out, I figured it was about time I gave it ago.
...It was alright. Lots of totally ridiculous (but admittedly awesome) sci-fi porn, but it was all a bit meandering plot-wise, and didn't really seem to make all that much sense at times. Would I do better to watch the original TV series first, rather than carry on with the films? I don't really have time to watch a whole 25 episodes worth, hence starting with the film, but there's no point carrying on with them if they aren't going to make any sense otherwise.
