I don't hate NGE. It's a true masterpiece. Not in the fan boy of saying that anything they like is a masterpiece, but in the sense that is so good, well written and beautifully drawed that it transcends it's medium of Anime and turns into a piece of art. Shinji is easily one of the most well written characters in any media, he could be read as just a whiny boy, but he is much deeper than that. But it's depressing. Very depressing. Mainly The End of Evangelion.
But to OP,it's more like of a deconstruction of the Mecha genre, so it won't make as much sense until you have watched other more typical mecha series like Mobile Suit Gundam.
