Many people don't like Sadamoto's manga, because it's less complex than the TV series, but I really like it because there are some different character's backgrounds and various interesting topics. I recommend it, in my opinion it can help you, there are nice moments, delicate moments, educational m...

What if we saw the appearance of God in 3.0+1.0? And he or she was Angel 00? The creator of the F.A.R.?

I used to look down on fan fictions, but they’re a hell of a lot more of a constructive way to complain about something after a while. If you’re unsatisfied about a story, and want to remind people about it years later, then write a fan fic and do it yourself. Maybe Hideki Anno predicted this would...

Asuka’s behavior is understandable, but not necessarily acceptable in the eyes of the audience. I read an article somewhere of how Asuka and Shinji are equally at fault for their actions. Shinji runs away from social connectivity while Asuka pushes it away, rather than either of them confronting one...

While exploring the internet, I found an article that talked about the Evangelion Manga series. The article supposedly had a more uplifting feel to the evangelion series. It also talked about how minor changes made a major impact upon the characters and the overall story for better and for worse. He...

Upon searching through the web, a thought entered my mind. What if there was something out there that put Evangelion and The Breakfast Club together? Both address similar themes about the struggles of adolescence and the fact that there truly are others who have went through hardships of their own. ...

I’m not implying that I hate Asuka as a person, as she has been through a lot of trauma built up through the years. I do however am quite discontent with the choices she makes and the way she acts. That being said, it would be really hard for me to associate myself with her or anyone like her, espec...

I was frustrated that I ever came across End of Evangelion, thinking it was a mistake. But in reality, the mistake was that I took one of the worst possible routes to acquaint myself with the series, which produced undesirable results. I’m not lying to myself anymore. I’m not telling myself to be as...

Personally, I’m just confused and frustrated by the whole, “Asuka is best waifu! Asuka is best girl.” It gives me the impression that I have to like her to be a part of the Evangelion bandwagon. And people say Shinji is just a brat, meanwhile I could make the same argument that Asuka is a brat as we...

I'm well aware that it's not adding anything of value to this conversation, so I will keep it at this one post and ignore the thread henceforth; I just want to say that I am firmly sick of the whole waifu debate in general, and in the case of Eva in particular, because idolizing any character from ...

You guys have been selfless, and willing to help me with my current predicament despite the fact I have been stubborn. And I wish to thank you all. However, I believe you all deserve the right to know the truth. I’ve been lying to you, and to myself. I didn’t watch all of End of Evangelion, the only...

I’m still on board with Rei.

You guys are right. All this thinking about Evangelion is currently leading me in circles. I’m attempting to deconstruct my understanding of how I felt during EoE, but in the process it keeps bringing back up the overall subject, and reinforces my skepticism. I should just let these troublesome thou...

It's fiction ; so it's free not to mirror the real world. It's fine to get sucked in to a fictional realm as part of the process of enjoying the story, but you need to be able to separate yourself from it as well. At first, it was hard to separate myself from Shinji because I decided to relate and ...

Did all of humanity really surrender their individuality by choice though? The choice to begin and end Instrumentality both rested on Shinji, so in a way, he made that choice for them. They had no say in it, it just happened, and if they resisted their AT Fields were forcibly brought down by the Re...

The fact that you believe that everyone turning into LCL is equivalent to dying shows that you don't actually understand what happened, because if you had watched the anime it explains the lore and mechanics of LCL and AT fields and how what happens to everyone is not in fact death or a death equiv...

What if I don’t need Evanglion to make myself more emotionally stable? There’s a quote I like to go by. “You can never get rid of your demons, you can only learn to live with them. Eventually, your demons will learn to live with you.” Thus far, this demon has been a really tough one to combat. I fin...

Shinji is clearly aware and present all the time. He never dies. He just comes close. For that matter, nobody else dies, either. They continue to live on as disembodied souls, because of GNR gathering them all. Even the people who got get tanged, so they are part of it. Think of it like going aslee...

Seven months now, and I can still feel them talking to me. I usually pay them no mind, but they’re still there. “You are me. And I am you.” Shinji says. “You should be ashamed for who you are you retard.” Asuka says. “Your mental illness will destroy your world.” Rei says. I don’t want to bury the m...

The best I can see for him is for him to do a heroic sacrifice, but of course, Anno will never let that happen because "only by living can you find happiness", which is quite insulting to tons of people who have given up their lives to save people they loved. Spoiler alert: Now that you m...
