Some of the monsters the main characters fight and kill look like animals; like Sharks and Spiders.

Towards the end of the series, Ritsuko's cat that was in the care of her grandmother passes away. It happens offscreen; she's informed via phone call.

While nothing physical ever occurs, there are implications that of less than consensual encounters
And in the final film (End of Evangelion), one character pleasures themself over an unconscious person, and another scene where a character makes contact with another characters breast, although with non-sexual intentions, the scene is still intentionally made disturbing.

Arguably. Misato’s relationship with Shinji has sexual undertones, and in episode 23, she is offering him sex. Made more obvious in the movie

Eva's occasionally lose limbs. They can grow back; but it's still implied to be incredibly painful for the pilot.

Rei, Asuka, and Shinji (who are 14) are consistently sexualized through uncomfortable (When shinji delivers the new NERV card to Rei, etc) scenarios and very questionable camera shots at times.

Asuka’s whole backstory revolves around how her mother thinks of a doll as her child and not her actual daughter. She is seen ripping the head off the doll.

Towards the end of Episode 20 Maya throws up. Happens shortly after Unit 01 goes berserk. This is fairly brief and audio only. Coming from someone with bad emetophobia, this wasn’t super triggering.

Mostly no, Judeo-Christian imagery is used throughout the series but not really in a negative way. However you could argue that the main antagonists, SEELE, are very much in the “Illuminati style-group that secretly controls the world” trope which doesn’t automatically make a work that uses it antisemetic per say, but it’s certainly a trope with problematic roots in it

many theorize differently about the sexualities of two important characters in the show, but the general consensus is that they are both MLM. only one of them dies.

Asuka (an adolescent) has a crush on Kaji (an adult) and tries unsuccessfully to seduce him. Misato (an adult) treats Shinji (an adolescent) inappropriately numerous times. At one point it is implied that Misato offers to have sex with Shinji, but he refuses. Some of Shinji's sexual fantasies involve Misato.

Misato is the subject of several sexualized shots. Asuka’s breasts are shown off quite often as well. However, the show doesn’t objectify women nearly as often as the merchandise and official art. There are several different figurines of Asuka, Rei etc wearing skimpy outfits.

while the ending itself is quite positive, the series ends on an infamously confusing and potentially unsatisfying note. the full ending can be found in the movie "the end of evangelion"
