I agree. It had its moments, but overall it's an average anime with uninteresting characters. Rei is as dull as pancakes without syrup, and Shinji is just an annoying, whiny character. Everyone in this anime whines and complains. The story didn't make any sense, and the ending was terrible. The only good thing about Neon Genesis was the opening theme, imo. Also, it was very repetitive; they follow the same formula for like 16 episodes:
*some military stuff happens
*Shinji whines about his dad and thinks about Rei
*insert some sex stuff and penguin segment
*Angel shows up and Shinji doesn't want to fight
*Asuka or Rei fight the Angel and something bad happens to their EVA **(if Shinji is fighting, he starts crying and whatnot, and miraculously, his EVA will get powerful)
*Shinji saves them and defeats the Angel
