Can I watch this without ever watching the show, knowing what it's about or who the characters are?

No, at least watch Evangelion Death and Rebirth first if you want to take a shortcut

it hardly makes sense even if you watch the series

Absolutely not.

Watch the show. You can watch Death and Rebirth, but that misses the feeling. Those 24 (watch 25 and 26 after watching the movie) episodes might seem like a lot, but especially the second half flies by.

this

slog it out,youll reap the rewards

>can i watch the series finale without watching the series?

Don't watch any of it.

Its all horseshit.

Read the wiki and disregard it as babbys first bullshit like all it's rabid fucking fans should have decades ago.

It's literally called End of Evangelion. Watch the TV series first.

alright, downloading it now. I'm excited

I hope it isn't a retarded animation style and a junior high romance

watch the series, then the end of evangelion, then the tetralogy movies

Watch the show first what are you doing. This is episode 25 and 26 of a series.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to watch the series. It's terrible and the ending is one of the worst in anime history.

(You)

I find it hard to believe that user posting on Fur Chen has never ever seen Neon Genesis Evangelion

I respect your effort so here's your (You).

watch it merely for thermal expansion

>do i need eyes to see?

Don't watch Death and Rebirth user.
It's like a pretentious AMV and won't help you understand the plot of EoE.

Everything about EVA is pretenious.
Literally.
As in the only reason it has the Abrahamic Faiths symbolism is so it seems cool.
Its a giant pile of wank.

Also, watch episodes 25 and 26 BEFORE watching End of Evangelion. It's much better that way.

Asuka, Rei or Misato?

Don't watch it, period.

Just stopping in to say I've never seen it and don't plan to.
