I would never introduce my children to Evangelion. Maybe once they're 18 I'll recommend it.

when they're keeping me up all night as infants, I'll probobly watch it while holding them. I'd never go out of my way to introduce them to it, I'll wait until they come ask me. I'll show them if i think they're ready for it.
God, Apparently you all have been discussing Q since November. Catching up on the discussion is harrowing.

I'd probably suggest it to a 14 year old son, if I were to have one.
He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man. There is no measuring Muad'Dib's motives by ordinary standards. In the moment of his triumph, he saw the death prepared for him, yet he accepted the treachery. Can you say he did this out of a sense of justice? Whose justice, then? Remember, we speak now of the Muad'Dib who ordered battle drums made from his enemies' skins, the Muad'Dib who denied the conventions of his ducal past with a wave of the hand, saying merely: "I am the Kwisatz Haderach. That is reason enough."

I'm not sure how well kids would really get Evangelion. Children aren't capable of comprehending or forming abstract thoughts until ages 12-14, so most of this would go over their heads anyway. All they'd be left with is Eva-01 punching the head off Eva-03, Eva-01 eating another Angel, and giant naked Rei (or regular naked Rei riding Shinji in EoE), not to mention naked Asuka and Misato. I don't have any kids right now, but if I did I don't think I'd want them watching all of that. It's not Star Wars, I really believe it's meant for more mature audiences, not only due to the violence and nudity, but also because of the philosophical and psychological ideas it presents.

Well technically, I only know what evangelion is todat 'cause of pornos. Doujinshis. "Only Asuka" series to be more precise.
Anyways, I guess that it depends on the children. I'd MAKE (If he refuses, its "Clockwork orange" style BABY!!!) him (or her...) watch it when I'd knew he could interpretate correctly, and take decent "onw conclusions"
I watched it at 16, maybe he can do it ealier ^^
About "nudity" and etcetera.... Why worrie with so little! By that time he'll be able to acess the internet with his mind and see whay the net was born!
I guess it's time for a decent sig right? NAHHHHHHHH

[SARCASM] When I overpopulate the Earth and thus be the direct cause of humanity to start colonizing other celestial bodies :P [/SARCASM], I will wait until my offspring would be mature enough to process (at least some of) what Eva throws at you. Probably around 15 or 16 if I had to put an arbitrary age out.

thats not true, i got into Evangelion when i was 12, and i understood just about every part of it. wasnt too graphic for me (but that might be because i've watched too many horror movies)

That's what I meant when I said: "Children aren't capable of comprehending or forming abstract thoughts until ages 12-14, so most of this would go over their heads anyway." Since you first saw Eva when you were 12, I guess you sort of proved my point

At age 12 you understood that NGE was just one big science fictional allegory for the creator's depression affliction expressed through created characters' psyches? :?Sachiel_13 wrote:

How could you understand the allegorical undertones if you had no idea the creator drew his inspiration from his depression? That IS the series...Sachiel_13 wrote:
