I'll put it this way. As a heterosexual woman, I have had a very difficult
time getting interested enough in NGE to get past about five episodes. The
only episode I wanted to see again was the early one in which the other boys
blamed Shinji for the destruction only  to have to take cover in the cockpit
and witnessing the toll it took on Shinji. That was an emotionally moving
episode. If one of the major things a show has going for it is that it
appeals to the penis, then that's a pretty poor show.
