It hurt my brain

So, this is what I could gather from watching Neon Genesis Evangelion without seeing anything about it prior to last night.

Three teenagers, one boy, a hyper girl, and a mysterious bitchy type character pilot these big mechas called EVAS. They are battling "angels". So, it leaps around, with Ode to Joy playing in the background. A man and a woman make out. All of a sudden there is the mysterious bitchy girl in hospital and the guy saves her from an explosion. Then it jumps to about twelve years ago. Meanwhile, mechas are fighting what I reffered to as "squid rabbits". Gong! Japanese writing with no subtitles for parts of it. Hyper red head and old scientist guy are talking. Eighteen months ago, suddenly. Then it's back to the kids at school. Then the mysteriously bitchy girl is multiplied and blown to bits by a scientist. Then the same girl and the guy are on an escalator and she slaps him. Next scene, boy in hospital. Then two new people with infant child under a tree talking. Then a school bully beats up the boy who is covered for by red headed hyper girl. More squid rabbits. The main characters as children for a bit. Then the boy moving in with a hot chick. Then the boy accidentally putting his hand on mysterious bitchy girls naked boob. Leaps to a new scene wherein hyper girl is met by girl who boy has moved in with and says how her body has filled out. Then a completely new scene with new characters are battling new mechas. Flash of hyper girl lying in a hospital bed. Spastically, throughout this whole thing, are black scenes with japanese writing with subtitles going so fast I can't read them. Then they meet an angel guy with grey hair and red eyes, who I understand to be an angel

So basically, I didn't understand it at all. I want to see the series first, because then I think I might get it. Also, I know a little about the characters from what friends have told me. Man, that boy's dad is a prick! You'd have to see it to understand how incredibly crazy and non-sensical it is, though. Although, it had one marvelously redeeming feature: at one point, when the three teens are in a big empty room playing...uh...okay...the boy had a cello, and I think the two girls had violins...anyway, they started to play Canon is D major, also known as the Wedding March. It is one of my favourite classical songs. They played the intro and I asked Kari if she knew what song it was, and when she didn't, I "dooed" the rest of it for her, the part that everyone knows, and she agreed that it was a good song. If I ever choose to get married, I would like that to play at my wedding. But we'll have to see I am also partial to the Planets, by Holst. Jupiter is a good one!

Squid Rabbits?
