Yupp. Movie got me into anime. That opening chase sequence is 
I wanna say "hell no" but it gets by on influence alone, so I guess it is.
matter fact, any post arguing against "hell no" will only talk about either how influential it is or how it was somebody's first time seeing blood and guts animated.

Nah, it's probably one of the best looking but def not the greatest. It doesn't even live up to the source material.
But it did get me into anime so I'll vote maybe

They should have shifted the focus to kanedas bike gang that would be the more accessible movieIt’s hard to fit a 2000+ page manga series into a 2 hour movie.
Yes it is.
And so is The End Of Evangelion.
These two movies truly transcend their genre

after going back and re-evaluating, Evangelion is the greatest anime series ever.

It would need to be an OVA series then and I guarantee it wouldn’t look half as good as the OG. Akira was one of the most expensive animated movies made in its time, not only that but it has that classic late 80’s look thats hard to replicate now. Even the remasters have the look.

I’d go with Rahxephon but I ain’t going to argue. Evangelion is one of the deepest, most soul stirring viewing experiences in all of popular storytelling
Yes
I've watched it at least 30x, and each time that I do, I get taken quicker and quicker out of the story.
I do recommend that if you ever get the chance to see on the big screen, do so. That was an amazing experience
