If you watched the original Hellsing you might want to try the Hellsing OVA instead. I think it’s way better. But I also totally get if it just isn’t your cup of tea.

I am currently watching Super Dimension Fortress Macross. It’s a space, mecha, sci-fi TV-Series from 1982 with great animation and design. The story is mid. The themes and storytelling are like a teenager series but still entertaining. I’m halfway through and overall it’s easily digestable and a fun watch. If you are interested in NGE it’s also worth noting that Hideaki Anno was involved in the series creation and is drawing a lot of inspiration from it for NGE.
