That last panel with the father staring ABSOLUTE hate is how I look when I've gone more than 30 hours without sex.
That is exactly why I've never finished watching it, either. I saw the first 4 or 5 episodes (whatever was on that first dvd) and liked it well enough. But I wasn't able to get back to it for a few years, and when I was ready, it seemed like there were all these competing and contradictory versions of the story out there, and I had no idea which I was supposed to watch or in what order.so i'm about 11 episodes into finally watching evangelion, and i'm just wondering what the proper order for watching the series and movies is.
mostly concerning death and rebirth, end of evangelion, and revival of evangelion.
You've got some damn good ones listed in there.
At the prodding of several of my friends, I broke down and tried Ouran High School Host Club. It actually ended up being funny in the beginning since they were making fun of dumb harem anime tropes, but then it became every bit as inane and melodramatic as I had initially expected.
Maybe give Gallery Fake a shot. (Will have to get the fansub like Bartender though, but at least they're all done)

I haven't finished it yet, but if I ever watch it again, I'll just stick to the first ten or twelve episodes.
What is The End of Evangelion? Didn't the show already have an ending? What is the thing that changes or rewrites the original ending because some fans or the creator or someone didn't like it? Is that 'the end of evangelion'? Or was there something else?you watch the evangelion show.
you skip death & rebirth unless you really need a fucking recap on a series you just watched.
you watch the end of evangelion.
it's that simple.
Gainax launched a project to create a movie ending for the series in 1997. The company first released Death and Rebirth, consisting of a highly condensed character-based recap and re-edit of the TV series episodes 1-24 (Death) and the first half of the new ending (Rebirth, which was originally intended to be the full ending, but couldn't be finished due to budget and time constraints). The project to complete the final episodes was completed later in the year, and released as The End of Evangelion. The End of Evangelion is an alternate ending of the series and retells episodes 25 and 26. The End of Evangelion replaces the Rebirth portion of the first film Death and Rebirth. The two films were compiled as a single movie (the way they were originally intended to be), called Revival of Evangelion in 1998.
please, don't.To add on to skotgun's stuff,
I was doing okay for about the first sentence and-a-half.

please, don't.

To add on to skotgun's stuff, the original ending was done near the end of the series when the budget was gone and is done in mostly pencil drawings and meant to represent everything going on in Shinji's head. It's confusing to say the least.
I thought the Evangelion show was great until I experienced the disastrous use of what budget they had left to put together an unoriginal and unartistic ending. I was thinking of just saying "screw it" and watching Rebuild of Evangelion when it is all said and done, but at this point I'm not really sure if I care to. I really enjoyed what I had seen up to that point though.
oh yeah I always wondered, what's animu?
If you enjoyed everything up until that crap ending, go finish the ride proper.
Hated hated hated TV ending first time I saw it.
Every other time I watched the series (four times?) the TV ending made me cry and stand up and clap.
And by proper you mean LoneSage's simple list of "Watch the Evangelion show, watch the End of Evangelion" ? I can handle that, but I definitely need to go back and watch the show agin if I did that. It's been years since I've seen it.
