Didn't know anything about the franchise before watching this, but wow, was this impressive. Thought it was just going to be robots hitting each other ala Transformers, but was pleasantly surprised. Animation, as with all Japanese animation, was superb. Action sequences were great...really suspenseful and held my attention throughout. Light-hearted moments were a relief, especially Pen Pen the Penguin, because, quite frankly, the overall tone of the movie is pretty depressing. Some very powerful scenes, including Eva 1.0 under auto-pilot horribly ripping the guts out of the Angel, and the final sequence where Shinji tries to save Rei from the Angel. Highly recommended. Count me in as a new fan of the series.
