The more this show references Eva, the more compelled I am to actually watch it. I hear it's good, but how good is it?

Gravity Falls has only referenced Eva once, and I'm actually not sure it was a legitimate, intentional reference.

So I've been watching Diebuster recently, and I can't help but wonder if Unit 02' Gamma is an homage to Dix-neuf:

This might be a coincedence, but i found the climax of chapter29 of The Bridge bears a few similarities to Ha's climax
Giant abomination of a Kaiju devours the hero's waifu which causes the monster to change into something worse
From sheer willpower, the hero gets back up more determined than ever with his body glowing brightly and sprouting wings made of pure light
Climax ends with the monster laying on the floor and the hero grabbing its core to rescue the the one trapped inside

Also, come to think of it, does the design of Monster X look like an Eva to anyone else?

First shot of Kiznaiver EP 6 is basically the first shot of 1.11 with the red ocean washing on the beach. Trigger continues to be Trigger.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

Could Rafflesia's new outfit have been inspired by the test suit from Ha?

No hotlinking.

This isn't actually an Eva reference/homage, but it's close enough

Not sure if this is a direct reference, but in the flashback scenes of Darling in the Franxx, the characters are all wearing hospital gowns and chokers, similar to what Shinji was given to wear at the beginning of 3.0.

The characters in the show have all been isolated from birth and raised to become mecha pilots. They don't know anything about the outside world or their role in it and there are hints that

they aren't meant to live beyond childhood.
In this context, I guess the gowns and chokers are supposed to represent their lack of agency and individuality.

To be completely honest, the show is so packed with Eva references that I stopped counting a long time ago ^_^

Bye bye all of Evangelion and Evageeks.
When you feel sad remember that it's always epic Spinosaurus aegyptiacus time, you were born in the same planet as S. aegyptiacus, how cool is it?
I never understood why people hate the Rebuild because it's different and love the Series, can we just love it all without creating dilemmas and unnecessary discussions?

None of the pics show, however I was able to see them when I selected “view image on another tab” in the browser context menu. Make sure the link you used is really the image, not the hosted site.

By the way, excelent observation!

yeah, the images are all broken on my end, just reads as "image".

although technically, the god warriors are a reference to Nausicäa rather than Eva, although the paralells are absolutely there.

EDIT: I went ahead and fixed the image links, it was indeed a question of gallery vs individual image, and yeah, that scene is definitely a reference to the god warrior short, so I got that the wrong way around the first time, lol

It should be noted also that Anno did work on the Nausicäa movie, specifically regarding the god warriors scene
