What was up with this it's just a bunch of confused Christian imagery, do chinks just become Christian because it looks cool?

too deep for you, stick to capeshit.

It's one of the most cringe and pedo shit I've ever seen

from what I understand the japanese view christianity as a very magical (in the harry potter sense) religion

Don't worry, it is definitely one of the best films of all time.
The only caveat being that you need to watch a 26 episode series beforehand to get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of it.

Is this Evangelion? Everytime I see an anime thread where the film isn't specified I just assume it's Evangelion.

No it really isn't. It HAS Christian symbolism, but is has always taken back seat to its own story and characters

First time watching anime? Christian tropes are kino

Yes

it's not so trash but not so good, cope

because it is, especially the book of revelation

Just finished the series and EoE, gave my impressions in the previous thread. Wonderful show even with the immensity of hype it has to overcome for newcomers. It must have been a total whirlwind for people going in blind. Gonna sit on this for a week then watch the rebuild movies for mindless Unit 01 action. Probably one of the coolest mechas, if not THE coolest mecha, I've personally seen. Makes me wish Jehuty had its own badass existential anime; also makes me realise that a good chunk of Zone of the Enders was simply copying Eva as hard as it could.

Okay user, if the symbolism is so important, what does Lilith being on a cross symbolise?

Symbology and structures inherent to the mundane functions of the black moon that early humans integrated into their own mythology and mistakenly attributed great meaning to.

You really are a dumbass. The symbolism is only there for aesthetic effect. To evoke a sense of mystery, mysticism, awe, and reverence. While it might be very visible, that doesn't mean it is thematically important. If you can't understand that, you are literally a brainlet who is easily distracted. The religious imagery in Eva is the biggest pleb filter in the show, as it demonstrates who was paying attention, and who is a pseudo-intellectual retard, who can't analyze anything beyond what is obvious to their eyes.

There are two kinds of people, those who like Evangelion and those who need to get hit by my car :)

Whether you think Evangelion is an overrated mess or a masterpiece, the anime was a seismic shift in storytelling. Otherwise, we still wouldn’t be talking about it. Evangelion is difficult, to put it mildly. It has layers of symbolism and philosophy. These layers are what make Evangelion the touchstone for any new anime that tries to be densely psychological (Ballus & Torrents, 2014). Anno Hideaki is a mecha fan (Plata, 2014). His interest in the genre allowed him to turn its tropes inside out. Anno and two of his friends founded Gainax Studios in 1981 and worked on several intellectual films (Redmond, 2007). The experiences led the small studio to create a subversive storyline that changed how we consider mecha and anime in general. Many consider Evangelion’s story to be one of the most subversive in film. Evangelion is also thought to revive interest in both anime and mecha during the 1990s. (Napier, 2002;’ Redmond, 2007). Evangelion begins by playing on what people think of as mecha. Big robots, teen heroes, fan service, and similar conventions and references to mecha shows before (Ballus and Torrents, 2014). Then, Anno breaks them apart. Typically, mecha refight some type of World War II scenario where Japan gets to win. There are tyrants and evil aliens to shoot with giant robots! And of course these tyrants and aliens often represent ideas like consumerism, neonationalism. and other -isms that came out of World War II. Anno plays this up by naming characters after warships from World War II – Langley, Akagi, Ayanami and Katsuragi (Redmond, 2007; Plata, 2014).

Eva has little in common with its forebears, like the globally recognized Transformers or the fan-favorite franchise Mobile Suit Gundam, both anime about humans and their big, sentient, rock ’em, sock ’em robots. Every mecha anime is about a boy put in a big robot and asked to kill aliens. Eva could have slotted right next to Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Wing as more of the same: an action series full of fun moments and ever-intensifying battles, but little else. Anime series like Gundam showed powerful machines battling against each other over the fate of the universe, paving the way for Evangelion to blow up the constructs of the genre. Traditionally, in mecha anime, boys given the chance to battle in giant robots can’t wait to keep going. They inspire everyone with their gung-ho bloodlust and warm hearts. Those of us who watched Gundam and other mecha know the male hero is an idealistic go-getter. Sometimes a little reluctant, but he steps up in the end of his own accord. Shinji is everything but that. The hero, Shinji, is a hikikomori that with obsessive compulsive disorder. Shinji is depressed, naive, and shut off. A far cry from the typical mecha hero.

How unfortunate. it looks horrible.

>when 40 iq godless zoomer tries to put the pieces together
CRINGE

Time and again, Shinji is asked to get in the Evangelion. Each time he initially refuses only to come around and reluctantly agree when he is reminded that people care about him when he is piloting. When he finally does agree to pilot the Evangelion, it is not a moment of triumph for Shinji, but rather defeat. “Fine, I’ll do it”, he concedes. It’s about as far from heroic as a scene can feel. Shinji spends copious amounts of the show running: from piloting, from feelings, and every other tangible and figurative threat that can exist. He’s supposed to be the heroic protagonist, but he behaves in a way that is meek to a degree that borders on despicable. In short, Shinji ruins the escapist fiction that is heroism. Traditionally, in mecha anime, boys given the chance to battle in giant robots can’t wait to keep going. They inspire everyone with their gung-ho bloodlust and warm hearts. Shinji hates doing it. He runs away all the time. He is brought back by guilt and duty and loathing. He hates himself and treats the people around him terribly. He is a disgusting, pathetic pervert surrounded by damaged, violent sociopaths and he just wants someone to like him. A “typical” shonen anime follows a male protagonist as he becomes more powerful by defeating foes and learning new techniques. Evangelion uses the tropes of shonen anime to show a child overcoming his emotional conflicts in addition to the next big enemy. Anime series like Gundam showed powerful machines battling against each other over the fate of the universe, paving the way for Evangelion to blow up the constructs of the genre.

>the christian imagery means nothing
>characters are dealing with something above their comprehension
this is literally how retarded you are, just stop typing

A highly competent professional can be an absolute slob at home. Duality is inherent in humans.

By the end of the TV show, Evangelion is an absolute fever dream. Dwindling resources meant that the final two episodes are basically a clip show philosophical TED talk featuring death, destruction and terrifying visuals. Then Anno was given the budget to make the finale he really wanted – a movie called The End Of Evangelion – which is a deadly, perverse, trippy experience filled with horrific violence, human suffering and finally one of the most surreal journeys a main character has ever been on: a Kabbalistic version of Winnie The Pooh’s Heffalumps and Woozels nightmare. It is, and I cannot stress this enough, a masterpiece. I maybe think about it every single day. Still, you might think: I’ve seen anime; I sat through Dragonball Z for some reason; I’ve seen a Studio Ghibli film. But trying to say you know what Neon Genesis Evangelion will be like because you watched a show for teenaged boys and films for children is like saying you know what Game Of Thrones is like because you watched He-Man and The Sword In The Stone. Neon Genesis Evangelion is, for good reason, regarded as a masterful piece of storytelling and as an incredible character study full of complex and interesting men and women. Yes, it's a cartoon. Yes, it's old. Yes, it does have an... interesting dynamic with female anatomy that is very specifically of its time and cultural origins. But modern sci-fi owes Neon Genesis Evangelion a debt the same way it owes a debt to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars. You've definitely seen something like this, and that's kind of the point: without NGE, you wouldn't have. Blocker gundan 4 machine blaster pulled the same clip show shit. While he was on a coma. They showed a clip show of tempei growing as a character over the first half of the series. Then he climbs a rainbow and helps his friends defeat a bunch of dream versions of mecha they fought before. Same concept minus the random religious shit.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is anything but an ordinary anime show. It redefined a genre, provided a new template for the serialized Japanese Anime, and has a huge impact on Japanese culture. A “typical” shonen anime follows a male protagonist as he becomes more powerful by defeating foes and learning new techniques. Evangelion uses the tropes of shonen anime to show a child overcoming his emotional conflicts in addition to the next big enemy. Anime series like Gundam showed powerful machines battling against each other over the fate of the universe, paving the way for Evangelion to blow up the constructs of the genre. Audiences marveled at the thought of piloting giant mechanical beasts, but Studio Gainax and writer/director Hideaki Anno had another idea—what if piloting giant mech wasn’t cool, but instead downright terrifying? Traditionally, in mecha anime, boys given the chance to battle in giant robots can’t wait to keep going. They inspire everyone with their gung-ho bloodlust and warm hearts. Shinji hates doing it. He runs away all the time. He is brought back by guilt and duty and loathing. He hates himself and treats the people around him terribly. He is a disgusting, pathetic pervert surrounded by damaged, violent sociopaths and he just wants someone to like him. It’s a painful show to watch because it’s just so real: what would happen if the people we tasked with saving the world were all absolute garbage?

You still haven't made a single point. You just keep repeating yourself, like a nigger. Are you capable of independent, novel thought? Do you simply have the inability to express what you are thinking, or is there no thinking at all going on in your underdeveloped nigger brain?

yall are dumb. dont look into the christian imagery too much. in the show itself its even explained that the names and tropes of Christianity applied to the aliens that are the Angels are shown to be a superficial way to honor beings that are the closest things that come to Gods that they will ever experience.

cont. in the show, they even say humans are incapable of creating god. yet they are able to clone Adam multiple times. its just a chink's way of incorporating christian aesthetics.

I love how unpretentious the Japanese are with their work. When something doesn't have a deeper meaning, they just SAY IT, deadly straight, with zero shame.

Eva is obviously not about mecha fights, global conspiracies or metaphysical mumble jumble. Those are just in the background of the real themes being proposed. People who focus too much on that are looking in the wrong direction.

Evangelion is the perfect story for this moment in history. The anime was always apt, but in the two decades since the original series was first broadcast on TV Tokyo, it’s become the ideal anime for our time; thematically, the series is about the awful courage needed to stop an oncoming apocalypse, and what the people charged with protecting everyone else are obliged to cope with. Hideaki Anno’s masterpiece came into that void and had something to say about depression, cataclysm, and what it costs to save the world. Neon Genesis Evangelion is not just another fable about giant mechs and even bigger monsters. Currently, we are facing our own seemingly intractable — but ultimately solvable — problems, much as Shinji faces the Angels. Right-wing authoritarianism is on the rise around the globe; climate change, still unchecked, is beginning to ravage the planet; and economic inequality is more visible than it’s ever been before. There are concentration camps in America, and there is a government agency tasked with conducting raids of unsuspecting immigrant families and capturing the ones without what the government deems correct paperwork. The president has personally approved this. Things are bad, and they are getting almost unstoppably worse. Morally and physically, the world is on the brink of disaster.

>no replies but a samefag desperately trying to get his effort post some attention
this show isnt deep nor was it important.

Evangelion is difficult, to put it mildly. It has layers of symbolism and philosophy. These layers are what make Evangelion the touchstone for any new anime that tries to be densely psychological. Watching Evangelion now is unsettling because of how timely it feels. The idea that we are required to help the people who can’t help themselves — anyone materially threatened by the current regime — is powerfully resonant. It feels like an emotional guide for what to do next. Nowadays, it also feels like social media has turned the experience of using the internet into its own kind of society-wide hedgehog’s dilemma; private abuses can be broadcast to a global audience instantly, and that is its own terrible intimacy. When children die in government-run camps for migrants, for example, or when police shoot unarmed black civilians, to take another, more common scenario, we hear about it through platforms like Twitter and Facebook; we’re close enough now to feel the spines. nime series like Gundam showed powerful machines battling against each other over the fate of the universe, paving the way for Evangelion to blow up the constructs of the genre. Traditionally, in mecha anime, boys given the chance to battle in giant robots can’t wait to keep going. They inspire everyone with their gung-ho bloodlust and warm hearts.

Alright, here's my argument, the religious symbolism is well done and clearly shows some level of skill that went into the show's production.

How big would Rei’s pusy be when she blew up in size? If she got wet would you literally drown in her juice?

wrong

I disagree, the religious symbolism could have been portrayed much better/interesting than it was, but it was ok given where the show came from and the culture that produced it.

What did Fuyutsuki mean when he said "The doors of Guf have opened"?

Guf (גּוּף, also transliterated Guph or even Gup) is a Hebrew word, meaning "body". In Jewish mysticism the Chamber of Guf, also called the Otzar (הָאוֹצָר, Hebrew for "treasury"), is the Treasury of Souls, located in the Seventh Heaven.

According to Jewish mythology, in the Garden of Eden there is a Tree of life or the "Tree of Souls":[1] that blossoms and produces new souls, which fall into the Guf, the "Treasury of Souls". Gabriel reaches into the treasury and takes out the first soul that comes into his hand. Then Lailah, the Angel of Conception, watches over the embryo until it is born.

Attached: tenor (4).gif (424x222, 2.44M)

Anno spoke about Evangelion's themes in numerous interviews and had various discussions about how far his story would advance and what he wanted from the series. Since Evangelion has already been translated into many languages and is being produced for a wide audience worldwide, its production in Japan seems less important to him. He does plan to make two prequel films and perhaps more anime. In 2008, Atsushi Ono was interviewed by Comic Natalie in which he stated about the themes of Evangelion that he wanted to follow for the next three movies: (from left to right) Shinji vs. Rei - Shinji is in denial of his role. The world is destroyed. Evangelion continues for three more years . Shinji is left behind and is alone. Anno said that the upcoming Shin Evangelion movie will not contain any more of the series' visual themes. In the meantime, this is not the first time that the visual themes from the series have been altered in recent anime. For example, when the manga's version of the ending to Evangelion: 2.0 was released in 2013, there were several changes to the film's ending that only made little sense and left fans feeling upset. However, fans might have been relieved to note that the movie's art department has taken a few extra steps to preserve the atmosphere and feel of this version and have adjusted many of the artwork elements. Shin Godzilla would appear to be a good example; However, the movie's art director has altered several elements to maintain the original visual quality. These alterations include removing many CG scenes, changing many of the CG locations (such as underwater caves), changing some of the animation, and changing the placement of some elements. These alterations are largely consistent with the visual themes on the television show and also in the Japanese releases of many other Evangelion film. These visual changes are consistent with the film's visual themes but may be made for a completely different reason.

You do realize anyone with any theological background realizes the mish mash of "symbolism" for what it is? Like someone reached their hand into the bible and just pulled out a handful of things to be symbols

None of this gives it depth or importance

The Chamber of Guf is Nerv's codename for the first black moon (the ancient alien spaceship Lilith came to Earth in which they repurposed into the geofront). That's all.

again, you're the retard for thinking Evangelion even tries to be a critical interpretation of Christian scripture. They literally base it all on fictional Red Sea Scroll bullshit.

Anno addressed the depth and important of Christian symbolism in Evangelion when he said that it was not the purpose of the producers for Evangelion to be religious." So now we know why Evangelion is based on God for its content and in no way does it intend to be religious. But of course it isn't. When your God is a guy with an eye patch and you think he's a god, you just have to accept that. In his mind at least, Evangelion is just trying to do good with an intent so noble that many would be surprised to find that it can actually be done with. If Evangelion was originally just a comedy, Evangelion 2, 3 or the series itself that took place in Heaven. When you realize that all its jokes are about Jesus, then you realize just how profound their intent is that if you don't want to admit it for once, you should not try and make your own jokes. But then again, all stories are stories. A movie is a movie, right? Why would there be no religious content in Evangelion? Because in a movie like this you never got to see Jesus. When you see a movie like that you think you are seeing God, and for that matter with every comic book movie and every live-action movie, you just believe what you are seeing is God.

Its dead sea scrolls. And thats still within the christian world retard.

Evangelion is a deconstruction of Mazinger, or rather the idea of a seemingly benevolent scientist giving their child a cool robot to pilot. Yui and Gendo are meant to show that Juzo Kabuto would be a terrible parent if applied realistically.

The comparisons to Gundam doesn't work because Zeta, Victory, Wing, and IBO are darker than Eva

Importance is subjective. If enough people think something is important it is. Same for depth. If enough people discuss the themes, characters, and messages of the work, it has depth. If you disagree, give a definition of importance and depth where this is not the case.

It wasn't even close to the first anime to explore depression. Idiotic sheep like you worship it because you're dumb and move wherever the herd goes.

Except that Anno outright contradicts everything you said in his interview with Comic Natalie where he said that the Christian symbolism in Evangelion has explicit meaning. Anno also said of Evangelion that Shinji believes in the supernatural, he believes in the "unseen, invisible god", and that the angels he meets in Evangelion are "spiritual beings" of a higher nature, unlike the humans he meets the first time who are in the body of a human and "just a human who's just trying to live their life". These statements contradict what I just said to you above on how Asuka's spiritualism could be interpreted in the first half of Evangelion. Also Anno has confirmed that if you watched the Japanese version of Evangelion, the first episode (the first full feature film) showed Anno having "unconscious" dreams during filming, so how can you expect a non-animated story based on them to actually be true?

It means the doors to the primordial womb have been literally opened

Your shit very well could have been important to you. Nobody can tell you otherwise. However, it may not be important to anyone else, and therefore lack importance in a broader sense. I doubt that shit influenced anybody else's shit, nor did it inspire anyone to make better shits, nor are many people discussing your shit. Therefore your shit, while personally important to you, is not very important to shits as a whole.

When have I said it was the first anime to explose depression? Why is this even relevant? Are you retarded?

Then give an alternative definition of importance? How can something be important outside of group consensus? If nobody things something is important, then by definition it isn't.

I know this has nothing to do with what you're talking about but why the fuck are Shinji and Rei (presumably) talking to each other on the phone when they're right next to each other? They can't be talking to other people, they're fucking Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami, two of the most asocial characters in all of mainstream anime.

See, if the author narrowed down Evangelion to

then I would says he is based as fuck and has all my respects. Because in the end Evangelion IS really cool, even if I can't make sense out of it.

this, I just wish it didn't take 50 years to get a second season that didn't have garbage "animation"

Actually, it was the result of running out of budget. Way to go reading way too much into a scene, to the point you come up with your own headcanon, idiot.

Again idiot, the only reason that scene played out the way it did is because they literally had no money or time. It's not an artistic choice for a low budget work, it was a choice they were forced to make because of financial circumstances.

Morons like yourself will suck Anno's cock to no end though, and delude yourself into believing it's more meaningful than it really was.

>not realizing you're retarded and arguing with a lot of people that know you are in fact a special kind of dumb faggot
oh, the ironing

the inclusion of symbolic imagery and deep philosophical themes does not automatically make a movie good

literally the moral of the story is human interaction is pain, but without pain you cannot experience the love and happiness you can derive from interacting with others. the human condition is the duality of love/pain. shinji rejects instrumentality at the end because he realizes pain is worth being able to see asuka/rei/misato/yui again, even if it means subjecting himself to possible rejection./loneliness.

the religious themes are just a backdrop.

any other interpretation is just tryharding.

cont

time is shown going by through misatos cross rusting, meaning although shinji rejects it, its not so easy for everyone else to come to this realization. shinji notes multiple times, why is it bad to run away from pain? its easy to isolate yourself to avoid rejection, but only when you open yourself up to others can you truly live.

evangelion was chosen because it can be shortened to eva. as in eva, the first woman who was created from the rib of adam. like all Evangelions who were cloned from Adam the Angel.

Rebuilds are sequels

I do think it being the term for Gospel also factored into it. I don't think it was that arbitrary, even if it's not all that deep either.

I preferred the rebuild version of this battle

This is the only Eva pepe I've ever come across.

I really fucking hate aliens.

unironically this, the fact that it's called Evangelion is just cause it sounded cool to the writer, EVA is mostly just aesthetics with symbolism that you COULD find meaning it, but its certainly going to be a surprise to the original creator if you do. The real depth comes from the exploration of fear of failure, depression, sexual anxiety, mental health etc. not it religious imagery

Lots of directors lie in interviews, usually they hate the entire format itself and just want to joke around and troll. The Coen Brothers do it a lot, Lars Von Trier does it a lot, Lynch is the obvious king of interview trolling. Mostly they want their work to speak for itself and not shove an interpretation down your throat. What's the point of even making art if you don't like the viewer try to understand it on their own?

A visual feast to be sure.

the doors of guf are the doors of a chamber that have all the souls, its a "mithycal" thing; those doors were closed since a while after the 2 impact and that is why you dont see children under 14 in the anime and the only rei that have soul is important is the second one, the one that loves Gendo.
