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

When I was in High school last year, I had a friend that was really into it, and he decided that he wanted to show me the show, call it fate but that show was there for me in a desperate time of need. The themes of self-worth and learning to love yourself despite all of humanities flaws was a big hitting point for me, and Ive loved it ever since, Bought the comics, bought the Vinyl Records, have build kits of EVA-01 and all, I absolutely LOVE Evangelion now, and its message and meaning to humanity as a whole. Its a beautiful piece of media I hope never dies off.

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.
