What is /a's opinion on how one should watch evangelion? I've been meaning to get into it for a while now but never got around to it. But with the movies and such, how should i go about viewing it for the best experience?
i just watched the original series and then "The End of Evangelion" movie after i finished
was pretty cohesive and logical enough of a transition for me

that's what i thought about doing, was just curious how the newer movies would influence all that
leave right now, watch it all then EoE, then come back and join frontlines of the endless war.

Just remember there's no actual depth to the plot and don't fall for the "2deep4u" meme. Anno was a severely depressed, talentless hack when he directed it and he still is but, now he has money and he wants more, thus the rebuilds were made. The first few episodes were cinematically gorgeous so Anno could pitch it to the networks but, after that it turned into the anime equivalent of /r/im14andthisisdeep. Enjoy

This.
TV episodes and EoE are all you will ever need.

Why does anyone ever ask this? Why would you even consider watching it out of order? Watch what came first--the anime--then watch what came next--End of Evangelion--then, if you feel like it, watch what came after--the three new theatrical versions. It really is that simple.

exactly, it's not a behemoth like the gundam series.

i thought it could've a star wars kinda deal, where'd you would watch the content out of released order or skip a few for the sake of a better experience

There is plenty of depth to the mythos just not the pretentious metaphorical kind.

Do skip Death & Rebirth, its just a clip show of the series & the unfinished first 25 minutes of EOE.
Also ignore the haters, the Rebirth stuff is decent (1.0) to great if inconsistent & vague (3.0) to phenomenal (2.0).

NGE 1-7 > Rebuild 2.0 > Rebuild 1.0 > NGE 21-23 > Rebuild 3.0 > Death and Rebirth > EoE > NGE 25-26 > Retake doujin > Eva 3.0+1.0 (when it comes out)
patrician viewing order.
