We need more jerking off on hospital patients in cinema.

Seriously, this is probably the most difficult series to describe when asked what it's about. My list of things it has is in no way definitive (I'm probably wrong on one or two, it's been a while since I've seen it) and is also likely severly lacking. The purpose of the show (to me) seemed to shift several times, leaving me wondering what was possibly going to happen next. I think that's a fairly decent trait to have. In the end, I'm glad I watched it and look forward to watching it again sometime.
Plot
Main article: Plotline of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Evangelion's plot superficially revolves around the struggles by the paramilitary organization NERV to prevent the city of Tokyo-3 and the Geofront underneath it from being destroyed by monstrous beings called Angels. To this end, NERV enlists three teenagers, Shinji Ikari (the son of NERV's commander Gendo Ikari), Rei Ayanami, and Asuka Langley Soryu, to pilot enormous mecha called Evangelions into battle against the Angels. As the series progresses, it is revealed that the true purpose of NERV, the Evas, and the Angels is to bring about a forced evolution of humanity with potentially cataclysmic repercussions. The struggles of the central characters to overcome their personal issues and personality conflicts factors heavily into the events of the series, and become integral to the conclusion of the series.
