Unpopular Opinions

Evangelion is fine, but I feel a lot of fans of it (not all of them) tend to overpraise/overanalyze it too much (particularly on EvaGeeks, do NOT go to that site if you value your sanity) and get crazy over it. (I feel the same about those who do the same with Code Geass and Gurren Lagann) I also hate how they dismiss anime similar to it by calling them "eva clones/knockoffs" (which really anyone will say about anything without digging deep) when in actuality Evangelion ITSELF drew influence from Ultraman, kaiju films, Gundam and even Space Runaway Ideon. And personally, I find those "clones" interesting and some even better than EVA. (case in point, Argento Soma and Rahxephon).

Also, I vastly prefer Evangelion's manga to the anime, I actually feel it did some things better than the anime.

Another take. Ingrid is a character I actually don't despise. Actually, I kinda feel bad for her that she gets so much crap from SF's fans for being "too anime" (when Street Fighter/Capcom has drawn influence from anime/manga for their games for DECADES). She has a really cool design and I like some of her powers. However, I will agree that I dislike how her character was portrayed in Fighting Jam and Street Fighter's lore. Her backstory in Capcom Fighting All-Stars: Code Holders was WAY better, though.
