A great Review, Although I disagree with you on the Series Failing in comparison
with Full Metal Panic.
You can't compare the two, A) they are made in different times, B) one relys on
Digital Enhancments for its quality, while EVA is compleatly hand drawn, every
frame.
You can't compare Anime that was made now-a-days with anime made in the past,
that is compleately unfare. Evangelion is an anime that has left its mark in the
anime world, and will continue on long after FMA and others have been put
aside.
The art work in Evangelion is some of the best I have ever seen (and have yet
too see).
Sure, Compluter Generated stuff is neat, and pretty to look at, but you have to
think about the work that went behind Evangelion. All of it was hand drawn,
inked, colored, then animated. It was alos one of the Last animes to use hand
painted backgrounds, which in my opinion, are works of art that stand on their
own. While computers streamline the process, it also takes the effort out of
making good art.
And to say that the sound wasn't as good as today's anime because it wasn't in
surround is unfare. Evangelion was made during a time when the tools were either
not avliable, or to expensive to use. Today, those tools are avliable, and
cheap. Concidering the good job they did with the tools they had, you have to
get them more credit then you did.
One last thing. You can't compare Full Metal Alchemist to Evangelion. That would
be like comparing Dogs and cats. They are two compleately different genre's and
aimed at two different age groups.
Do I sound Biased, mabey, but I just though that I should voice my opinion.

I reviewed the manga, not the anime, Have you picked up the Manga?
doesn't writing like that consume alot of time?
Very well written review.
I do have a few issues with it though.
