What is your eva discovery story?

a friend recommended it to me, when i watched it i was enamored by how well written the characters were. also rei, i love rei. she's awesome 

i think i saw the memes on the internet when i was around 11 and i started watching it- i rewatch the whole thing again every few months :33

my older brother watched the first half of nge with me when i was REALLY young. i also saw ads for 2.22 and whatnot growing up. finally watched the full series and movies recently

To be honest, I think I kept seeing it pop up on Pinterest and YouTube, so I looked it up.

I became a fan because I love all the characters, the plot, you can relate to them, learn a lot from the show, it made me cry a lot which shows never do, great soundtrack, great art/scenery, good comfort show ig I'm not really sure, just a great show all around.

i kept seeing about it on pinterest so i decided to watch it and then i got my friends into it!! 

those old janky anime sites with reccommendation pages

i didn't get anything from it watching first time tho

Memes. I decided to watch EVA because it's a really "deep" anime. It did not disappoint.

The soundtrack is awesome though

heard the opening first and knew it had to be good.

my friend from discord some years ago recommended it. i watched the first 5 or 6 episodes and just thought it was another boring mecha anime or something. then i got spoiled kaworus death and knew i had to watch it xD. since then ive watched the series twice and saw all the movies except 3.33 (/3.0 i forget sometimes xp) huge fan of all the characters and how their mental states are explored thru the series. big rei and kaworu fan now!!
