The series was more about psychology than anything else. Personally I am mixed about the series i really can't say i hate it nor like it. And shinji that pansy...he comes 2nd in my most hated anime character character (1st goes to Takayuki from KGNE). Besides that i am enjoying the Evangelion Girlfriend of Steel Manga.....Looks like next chapter is gonna be action pack.... This post has been edited by jinx626 on Jun 4 2004, 07:36 PM |

You are correct that there are plenty of religious symbols but having any sort of deep profound religious meaning/message is something else (it might have superficial meaning/message at best). Remember that a majority of ppl in Japan follow the Shinto religion and Gainax used the religious symbols of a different culture to create suspense and mystery for a Japanese audience that were largely ignorant of many of the meanings of these symbols. Gainax was quite surprised that EVA did so well outside of Japan | ||

I don't really look at the violent side of it, though some of the scenes are kinda weird like when EVA 01 ate one of the angel. blood around its face and hands. |

That happens because the Eva's are Biological robots which are connected to the pilots in teh entry plug. So literally, if the Eva dies, so would the pilot. So thats y Asuka had blood coming out of her eye.
before we know y he was choking her, here is wut happens before so u know why he was choking her. NERV wanted instrumentality which only Shinji could choose. Instrumentality is when everyone is connected, no pain, no fear, only peace. So NERV wanted all that to happen. But shinji didn't want to be connected because he was very solitude and doesn't liking being with other ppl and sharing ideas. So NERV made all his "friends"die (like Rei, Asuka, Misato when the NERV guys came in). So then in the movie, he chose instrumentality becasue after seeing Asuka's robotbeing torn to peice he chose instrumentality. But since he lost all his friends he finally thought he could have solitude because everyone would be in the red pool iin the middle whcih is LCL, the same thing from their entry plugs. But shinji would be the only person out of it making him happy with solitude. But then Asuka showed up, and then his dream of soitude was gone so he started choking her. In the end he stopped because that was his only friend left.
He is a pansy because that is his character trait. You can't say he is the second most hated anime character in your list. He was made that way becayse he couldn't make choices on his own after his mom "died" and his dad "abandoned" him. Not to mention all his friends died after that. This was one of my first anime i watched and i still watch it because i am still trying ot undserstand every part of it with my friend who has helped me a lot. The graphics were pretty good and i loved the story line. And it is related to the bible. This post has been edited by Initial D on Jul 2 2004, 03:49 AM | ||||||

The first one, when the Eva 1 rips apart the 03. Touji was piloting the 03 when it suddenlty turned to an Angel (It turned to the angel because when the 03 was being transported to Japan, it went thru a storm cloud which was the angel. And the angel which was in the Eva was called, Bardiel, the angel of hail which got it's name from the storm clouds.. Since Shinji didn't want to fight the Eva which had hi friend in it. Gendou activated the Dummy Plug which is a Rei Clone. Rei is evil and wants to kill and so the Dummy Plug just tore the 03 to pieces. And when the 01 eats the Angel, Zeruel. He ate him because he wanted to get the S2 Core. The S2 core made the bindings come off the Eva (the bindings control the power level of the Eva, so without it it had unlimited power and didn't need the plug that gave it the power). Also, the mass production eva's (the white flying ones with the fake lance), they ate the 02 Eva to prevent the 02 from regenerating. And the human eye. in the first or second episode when Sachiel attacked (the jackhammer arm guy), it smashed into the 01 eye casing then the 01 went berserk. after killing sachiel, the helmet fell off. then three small holes appear around the main iris, and shinji freaks out and screams that is when the green eye pops out. Also when the bindings came off, you could see the full green eye. You only see one eye because the Sachiel only used the jack hammer on one eye. | ||

Tomo's Pupil Group: Members Posts: 373 Member No.: 2,013 Joined: Jun 14th 2004 Location: In an imaginary R34 in Hong Kong | Which official NGE site? I know the one from Gainax(the creators of NGE) which is here. (look for "works", then "Evangelion". And what you mean.. "Blood scene, about that they made it come out from my point of view is that they're angels. Anyone know why they have bloods? " They have blood because they bleed?

You could say this is like "robots" fighting, but is like worse then a vague description. And ya, this ain't like Gundam or Patlabor. This has a much more descriptive plot then most animes. But yes,, if you want to be very very vague, then it is a bunch of "biological" robots and "angels" fighting. | ||||
