Okay so I know there are canon answers that contradict the thought that the Angels in Evangelion are like angels in the bible, but... is it really possible to ignore the man-overcoming-God subtext in NERV/SEELE destroying the Angels who have biblical names and such? Someone should, like, come up wit...

The general picture is unacknowledged weak generic theistic existentialism. What characters among themselves follow is agnostic existentialism. The existential undercurrent of the show is just open-ended and ceases to elaborate upon itself where it ceases to enhance the emotional experience of the ...

She cracked a smile in episode 6, and that was the extent of her humanization. ...and her level of humanization never reached that level, however small it might have been, again. So she at the very least regressed just a little bit. But actually, that such a moment was such a significantly stark co...

As others have pointed out, yeah, her most concrete regression in character is when she becomes Rei III, but even before that it seemed to me that she anticlimactically regressed from clearly beginning to break out of her robot-like shell and express/come to grip with her emotions and general humani...

Re: Which philosophy does Evangelion resemble most?
NGE is highly unsartrean, for in the case of humans essence does precede existence; and it also highly kierkegaardian, as humans were created by a very powerful, hidden, and rationally not completely comprehensible personal force. I never noticed it being implied that essence precedes existence in ...

Which philosophy does Evangelion resemble most?
I'm going to use the philosophies of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Sartre as my points of comparison but feel free to bring any philosopher or school of philosophy into the fray. Imo Eva is most consistent with Sartre's thought, especially in the last two episodes. Granted, the idea that the la...

Another attempt at an actual discussion reduced to a circle jerk of snarky one-liners... and I wondered why I stopped posting here for a while. >suggesting Rei is not the most iconic and influential female anime character of the 90s which is not something one can explain through superficial fetishis...

Rei = underreited
Yes, yes, of course, I know that Rei has a crapton of really devoted fans, some less creepy than others, to the point of *sigh* memetic mutation (ZOMG TEH Rei!1) but I don't seem to see a lot of fans who find her arresting, sort of mystifying, as a character rather than just the object o...
