1. It's an epic. The storyline... It's one of the best stories ever told.
2. Philosophy. This stuff would knock Aristotle's socks off.
3. Psychology. Freud is rolling in his grave. But he was wrong anyway.
4. It's a work of art. It's crafted together so excellently, the philosophy, psychology, storyline, music, and art... It's like a poem, or a painting, or a beautiful song- yet it's all of these together. Evangelion is a perfect example of how the media of television is meant to be used. It isn't just a play set to the screen, it isn't just special effects and sexy women- it is written for anime, written for television, and it showcases everything great about that media.
5. Yes, the artwork. Beautifully drawn, it has a really unique style to it- just like everything else, amazing.
I agree with the work of art thing. I like most anime that don't get confused between drama, comedy or action. Sure, combinations work, but to make a good one takes time and constant re-evaluation.
Eva seemed to get confused about the comedy aspects, but I'm glad that issue dropped after the midpoint of the series.
