Anime News Network Article "Understanding Evangelion"
This article is a must-read for anyone who isn't completely positive of the psychology of Eva, and it also manages to outline many of the complex themes found within.
The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!

Its a decent article, I enjoyed reading it way back when, last I checked I had it in the written statements section.

That was a very interesting article. I liked the analysis of Shinji as a 'tragic hero', since I just did a big assignment on Macbeth being a 'tragic hero'.
It also outlines the flaws of Eva, which is good to see.

:oops: Yeah, I just realized it was already on your site.

I'd say Eva Otaku is far and away the best, with this site quickly catching up, there's also the Eva Sage at http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3082/index.html, no images, nothing but lots of Eva discussion and question answers. Although I've had trouble getting the menu to work recently.

The only thing published in English is a book from DH Publishing, coming out in July. As for stuff in Japanese, I'm not aware of any guides as substinate as the RCB.

It was approved and produced by Gainax. However some people argue that it isn't canon as it was a product, and it wasn't necessarily 100% faithful to Anno's design, and he may not have even worked on it. I don't know personnally.

Yeah, I was just thinking it was kind of redundant to point out. But overall, there's loads of great stuff in there, I wouldn't pick out anything in particular, its all excellent stuff. If you enjoyed that article, look at some of the other stuff.

Eva Otaku was and has been my standard of quality as I've worked on the site. If you tell me my site is better than Eva Otaku, I'll disagree. Eva Otaku is still #1 in my opinion.
Eva Sage used to be a good site, but its been left to inactivity and malfunction. Sites like Eva Sage were great for their time, but they're a bit out dated, they haven't taken some 5 years worth of fandom into account like Eva Monkey and Eva Otaku have.
