    Nah.

    I'd push things like Spirited Away or Tokyo Godfathers first, as far as anime-movies go actually.

    EoE is good for the Evangelion fans. But honestly, Tokyo Godfathers hit me way harder.

    EoE probably doesn't even hit my top 5 list of anime movies.

    #1: Spirited Away

    #2: Tokyo Godfathers

    #3: Girl who Leapt through Time

    #4: Summer Wars

    #5: "Voices of a Distant Star" for #5? Hmm, or maybe "Time of Eve" ?? A lot of things I wanna fit in here but not EoE yet.

    Not even getting to the "classics" like Akira, Eden of the East, Ghost in a Shell or whatever. These above movies have some mainstream appeal but still manage to hit that thoughtful analysis and depth. I'd still put something like Ghost in a Shell or "Your Name" above EoE...

    There are also 'kid anime movies' like Patema Inverted that really were excellent and deserve recognition.

    EoE is niche and fine for Evangelion fans though. Absolutely beautiful, and some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. But you gotta see some of the __good anime movies__ out there. They all stand above EoE IMO.
