From the comments at John C. Wright’s place:

johncwright: If I had written EVANGELION, not only would I have have written an ending, but I would have explained both the first and second impacts, and the relation between the Qabala, the ghost of the mother hidden in the Eva, the spear of Longenes, and the point of Ikaru’s plan.

false_keraptis: Mr. Wright, as a science fiction reader, I am willing to entertain outlandish and unlikely premises, and my disbelief can be suspended from the lightest and most fragile of strings, but you’ve gone too far here. To suggest that Evangelion could ever be made to make sense to anyone is simply ridiculous.

On Neon Genesis Evangelion:

If this is the first anime series that you watch, you will probably never watch another.

Charles Schultz does Evangelion. (The scanlation is out there if you know where to look.)
