Absolute masterpiece (in my opinion). Shinji as a character is a fantastic portrayal of depression, isolation, escapism etc. And shows his struggles in a way where you can still relate to him. The final two episodes were absolutely incredible and even made me question myself as a person. Overall, it is not for everyone. Many people found this anime quite boring (and I can agree, it was slow at some parts, not to mention the unnecessary fanservice lol) but I really recommend it if you are looking for an interesting, thought-provoking anime.
