I doubt Shinji's ability to helm the series tbh. Otherwise it's great.
Shinji was a great character, in all honesty. Sure he's an emo, and whiny - but that's kinda the point. You can't tell me his characters development, and deepness wasn't there.

But, I mean if you wanna talk about It really pales in comparison to the influence DBZ, Bleach, OnePiece and Naruto had, but makes that up with superb story telling.
LMAO.
None of those series barring DBZ can come close to matching NGE influence on anime. It's practically created entire character arch-types.

He was bearable at best tbh. His character was ok but at times it ruined the anime. Just my imo

Yeah I'm talking about popularity in both Japan and America. You'll see people talking about every single anime i mentioned in both areas, but Neon Genesis? It's not as popular.
Umm, popularity and influence aren't interchangeable, synonymous, terms tho.
Chuck Berry help invent Rock music, yet someone like T Swift is more popular than him, is she more influential than a man who help birthed, the greatest genre in the world? Rakim - is considered a pioneer in rap music given the way he advanced lyricism out of the monotonous one-syllable rhyme schemes and into complex multisyable rhyme patterns with a bushel of other literary devices. You're going to tell me a, lets say, Nicki Minaj, is more influential than he is?
Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece is Nicki; NGE is The God Rakim.

Really? From what i understand NGE never reached the same height of popularity in the states like DBZ did.
Huh. Weird.

PS: Even the man himself agrees with me, so you should quit while it's not embarrassing: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/hakeem-olajuwon-houston-rockets-big-men-small-ball/
1. I'm perfectly fine if you're just ignorant on the matter, it's better than pretending to understand what you're talking about. 😬
You realize the NBA wasn't nearly as big or popular in the 60's as it is today, yes? And that even NBA superstars got jobs over the summer because they weren't paid enough just off their basketball salary, yes? Oscar Robertson's rookie contract was worth a whopping $22,000 a year, Kek. He wasn't being paid millions like players in the 80's and beyond. You also realize that there weren't chartered flights or top of the line medical treatment when Oscar played, right? If you got injured, unless it was extremely significant, you'd have to play through that shit. Not to mention the refs gave less of a **** when it came to hard fouls, to the point where Wilt was thinking about retiring his rookie year due to the sheer physicality. And to top it all off, Oscar had to play 44-46 minutes per game In a much faster paced league.
So yes, that's relevant. 😬
2. The Hell? All that article talks about is how he may have introduced the idea of small ball, not once does it remotely imply he's the prototype to Al Horford or the modern style of big men in general. Modern big men aren't anything like Hakeem in terms of style; anyone with a functioning brain can see that. Modern centers are much more prolific 3 point shooters, and haven't a post move to speak of relative to Hakeem. Just about all of them don't have handles like Hakeem, either. The only real example he gives is Draymond Green who, surprise: isn't a center, and isn't 6'10 (he's 6'7, an amazing 2-3 inches taller than Gary Payton).
