definitely not everyones cup of tea, it's controversial for a reason. I still suggest people who aren't getting into it to try to stick with it, because the payoff of watching the final episodes (which were famously so hated it led to death threats), followed immediately buy the end of evangelion film is worth it for the insanity of it all.

if you aren't deeply into it and theorycrafting your way through it by episode 5 or so then you probably aren't going to enjoy the rest. it does ramp up the crazy as it goes on but mostly it leaves things up to the viewer to come up with their own meaning of what it all means, which wont work for some.

If it doesn't click, put it aside for a while then maybe try again by going down the path of the rebuild movies which are an alternate, condensed retelling that tends to be more accessible.
