No, you shouldn't. Eva's really a "watch the anime" or nothing, the manga's for fans of the anime. And you'd better be prepared to shell out massive bucks for Eva the series, followed by Eva the movies which have the "ending real people understand".
And if you do ask, it's Ay-vah.
Good night all!
I was hoping to find the anime, actually; but if I see the manga I might get it for future reading, depending on how expensive it is. Now that I'm talking about this I think I should see if Green Bay has a good video store while I'm there.
