Art and Animation:

 

   In 1995, Studio Gainax did the animation for Evangelion. I think that it has very decent animation during those times. The only thing that I notice was quality rate of animation drops in some episode. It has more dialogue scenes and less battle. It is reasonable due to budget issues. But I love the weapon's design and the mechas were unique. I also like the details of the city and how it is being damage during the fight scenes. Every Angel has it's own unique characteristic and I love the futuristic Tokyo. Overall it is a spectacular anime despite it's flaws.
