I know I give Evangelion some shit sometimes but I do have to say that I really liked the message it tried to get across. That if you don't want to be alone in this world then you have to make change happen. If you depend on others to like you so that you can like yourself then why should they like you in the first place? You have to learn who you are yourself in order for people to like you. It's a harsh lesson but it's one of the most important lessons a person can learn.
So, yeah, in between the people being mind-raped and Shinji screaming about something Evangelion managed to provay a harsh but important lesson. No, the show is not really deep but it's a show about broken people who want each other's help to stop being broken but everyone else is too busy doing the same thing that none of it ever works out. Evangelion is a depressing mess of a show but I love it and I recommend anyone check it out if they can get through the first 10 episodes.

Unrelated, and I have no idea why I just thought of this...
Did you know Ferrucio Lamborghini was born on April 28th? Someone posted about it on that day; I had no idea. Also, happy belated birthday!

I'm not really one for much anime, but Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop are kinda must watch TV shows as far as i'm concerned. Two of the best shows out there.
FLCL could maybe be stuck in there as well.

While the Ah Ha moment is finding out Hideaki Anno actually has overarching archetypes applied to his characters, you are right in pointing out it takes a bit to get past the Monster-Of-The-Week episodes, since very little actually cerebral content is revealed there.
Once you get past the surface stuff, its a much much better engagement on multiple deeper levels. Including Anno's sort-of Take That at the genre and the genre's otakus, as the whole series becomes a psychological deconstruction drama. And by the time you notice, its too late.
