You're not actually supposed to like Shinji, the show is about what would happen if you put a real nervous loser into the situation depicted in giant robot anime (ie he would become a nervous loser with severe shellshock).

Actually the manga adaption and the new Rebuild series, Shinji is actually tolerable and much less emo and whiny

Well yeah, but that's in part because Anno isn't clinically depressed anymore and so can make characters he doesn't actively hate.

It helps that the Super Robot Wars games did that already.

The manga adaptions and alternate stories of Eva have already done that for me

Gamefly has their end of year used game sale on right now. Free shipping on all used games. Gamefly used games have the advantage of having all of the codes that normally come with a new game still intact.
