Fly me to the Moon

I wonder what kind of symbolism they’re trying to get at

“There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.” -Kazuya Tsurumaki, assistant director/art director on Neon Genesis Evangelion

eva is literally fake deep

#i love this tbh #like their treating christianity like white people treat buddhism and what not is such an unintentional fuck you

Just because the use of Christian symbolism was only an aesthetic choice doesn't mean that Eva lacks depth. Dig into its plot, its character development and interactions, its rhetorical strategies and themes and you can see that Eva is one really well crafted piece of art.

Sweet jesus

I still haven’t watched NGE but Shinji’s dub VA getting so mad at the ending that he immediately went on an in-character rant is like… utterly iconic.

When they finally release 3.0+1.0
