Due to my love of all things about giant robots, I've been trying to get back into watching the Evangelion series.
I'm liking it so far, but good god I absolutely cannot stand Shinji. I keep wanting to shake him around and yell into his face to get his head out of his ass.
I understand he was written this way (the "reluctant warrior") but still. The urge to smack him in the face every time he's on screen is strong.
