I don't really understand how this anime has so much ranking. It is a big disappointment for me. Maybe it presented "new ideas" for mecha anime for its time but there are better anime out there now that is more worth watching. It begins ok but toward the end changes its format and it just becomes a metaphysical mambo jambo. The End of Evangelion Movie tries to explain their theories a little bit better but even so, they just vomit a long monologue of bullsh**, that even if you understand what the author is trying to say it's going to leave you with the question "So, what's so great about that?". There is nothing to be impressed by this anime, the hero has the most pathetic personality ever and I rather recommend you to skip this anime or you will be disappointed, or rather "feeling disgusted" as the own series says at the end. 

If you are into mecha I rather recommend you to watch Gundam 00, Eureka 7 or if you want a better example of a mecha-metaphysical anime then watch "RahXephon".
