I can't believe people feel so strongly about NGE - I can see where Hawkmonger is coming from, I get the feeling that I view NGE through rose coloured glasses because it was the first 'proper' anime series I had seen, before then it was only one offs like Ninja Scroll and Urotsukidoji and Akira.
Anyway this isn't the place for a debate on anime like it has already been pointed out
Recently I bought
Southern Comfort and I tried to watch it last night but found it quite laborious, I'm going to try another time I think, I think I should like it, I just don't like any of the characters haha - maybe I was in the wrong mood last night?
