For those of you who don't know about this series, I feel sorry for you, but don't worry with it soon coming on AS you'll get your chance.
In the year 2000, a controversial incident called "The Second Impact" took place at Antarctica leading to major flooding and destruction of half the world's population. 15 years later mysterious and destrucctive beings called Angels began to appear in Japan. The only ones who can defeat the Angels are the Evangelions, bio-mechanic mobile suits really, piloted by teenagers who were born around nine monthes after Second Impact. NERV is the organization that controls the Anti-Angel operations, but are their motives not what they appear to be? The whole series is pretty controversial thanks to a lot of religious and theological themes.
Evangelion is one of my favorite series of all time. I first watched it when I believe I was 12. I'm a fan of weird series so it's really at the top of my list. Asuka is my favorite character.

Great series and one of the ones that really pulled me into anime. Not really sure about a favorite character, maybe Misato.

One of the greatest series ever. My favorite character is Kaji.

I like Kaoru and Asuka, though I find her voice utterly annoying because of the shrillness.
"Saw that coming like Shinji"
;D I can't wait til this thread picks up...
Erm.. what's your favorite Evangelion unit? Mine, I think, is Unit-01.

Mine's Unit-02. Who needs a soul when you've got a pulse rifle and progressive knife? Not to mention a killer red paint job.

Unit 01 just because it ate an Angel.

;D that was awesome, but isn't it somewhat like cannibalism since the EVAs were partially made from Adam...as were the other Amgels. It's like a human eating an ape or something.

Character you're most like?
Asuka and I are like anime sisters I swear (although I'm usually not as [explicit]y)

Shinji... but not as much as a loser as he is.

So thoughts on the live-action movie...
I'm on the fence of liking it or not liking it. Although I'm really looking forward to the action and graphics, already I don't like how they're planning to mainstream it with things like character name changes. Also I'm really wondering and somewhat worried about the storyline of the movie.

Not as excited about it as I was when I first heard the news.
