Yes, Shinji, Asuka, Rei and everybody else are very complex, enjoyable and great characters, what is not enjoyable or complex is the non-stop existentialism throughout the show. It gets to the point where it's just a whiny. Asuka is the absolute worst when it comes to whininess, Shinji's wasn't that bad compared to hers. His was understandable, he learned from his mistakes and hardened himself into a stronger person, but Asuka broke, and we never really got to see her pick up the pieces, just the same whiny, boring story of I hate everybody, but I really hate myself. The sooner projection that you see in your everyday life come up from hateful people who are embittered about their choices in life, and Men does it get boring and old, quick.
The story line is not very consistent oh, and that sometimes is really janky, garbled and may as well be vomit that you drink from a straw, but for the most part it is interesting, but at the same time long, drawn out into a thin broth that is mostly water by the end.
