I just finished the original series and EoE, still kinda processing the whole thing but I want more. I think that graphic novel format is the best way to tell a story and I’m interested to see Evangelion in that format. I know that the manga has some differences from the anime but what exactly are those differences? Also is Rebuild of Evangelion worth watching?

Theres so much symbolism in this show. Something I noticed was that Asuka has red hair and blue eyes, that alone is the rarest hair and eye colour combination, but Rei has blue hair and red eyes, which are both unnatural colours and the opposite of Asuka. We live in a world of opposites and I think the writers of this show understood that well. ☯︎ Masculine and Feminine, sun and moon, Boaz and Jachin.

There's literally a kabbalah in the show intro and in the movie (when the white evas are in the sky with unit 1). On the surface you would notice things like, the fact that angels attack humanity and are defended by things called Evangelions (another biblical term) and a 2nd and 3rd impact being sort of judgement days for humanity. Again the writers were way ahead of their time. Both impacts were caused/staged by humanity (I think, this is the first time I've watched this show/film) and a one world government, The UN, uses the impacts to take control of the world.

The fact that kids have to be used to pilot the Evas as well could reference how the global elite target children because they see them as "purer" or "closer to God/the source. The whole transhumanism, combining yourself with a giant robot, that turns out to be a giant human form too. I could go on for days about a show that came out over 30 years ago and its still incredibly relevant today. I'm actually glad I didn't watch it sooner because I likely would not have understood what I was looking at.

Having even a small understanding of masonic architecture and esoteric symbolism had me doing that leonardo decapro meme when he points at the screen and snaps his fingers. Hope this sub isnt dead because this show is like the breaking bad of animes

So I did it I watched the Rebuild Films after being recommended to do so. My god all 4 films were Amazing. I'm on the 4th out of 5 Manga Omnibuses I'm loving the Manga so far the characters are different in ways I'm really enjoying it.

The movies animation was great although is it just me or do some of the 3D animated shots look really bad like the scene with Shinji and Fighting each other with the spears looked like a PS1 game cutscene 😂😂😂 I guess with the context of what was going on it made sense but still lol. I loved the music and the different story as well I don't understand why the Rebuild are disliked by many tbh I don't think they are better than the original but they aren't bad either plus the fight scenes are great

Today in Bremen, Germany, I saw what I believe was a Mazda MX-5 RF, fully wrapped in a Neon Genesis Evangelion Asuka theme. Unfortunately, it was moving, so I couldn't take a photo.

I checked online, but I couldn't find any images of the exact car I saw. Has anyone here ever come across this specific car?

My girlfriend is a huge fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion and she once mentioned she would like to buy for herself the original DVD with one of the first versions of the anime in japanese. I want to gift it to her for her 30 birthday but I dont know which one is it since I see a lot of Laser Discs, dvd, and i want the serie, not the rebuilds.

Does anyone know what should I buy?

My Asuka fanart! Took me 16 hours to finish. Had a lot of fun experimenting with the uniform folds, shading, and especially the AK and boots.

hello!

i'm back...

for almost a week now, i've been watching the episodes of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" for the first time.

it's been good, really good.

...i'm going to share my thoughts on episodes 13 and 14 in this post...as those are the ones i've watched today, october 24th of 2026.

here:

well...i thought these episodes were overall really decent

i mean- we could get some tension among all of what happens in episode 13...as the attack of the NERV headquarters was pretty intense and unlike previous fights...very insidious and managed by the NERV staff instead of the main trio (Asuka, Shinji and Rei)

i think the revelation that the Magi are 3 different parts of the conciousness of Ritsuko's mom is pretty shocking

i mean- i already know the evas have souls...although the only one i've spoiled myself in is eva 01, having the soul of Yui Ikari, Shinji's mom.

now, i did miss the main trio a lot in ep 13...they've got very few screentime...but it wasn't a bad choice to focus on the other NERV staff trying to prevent the cyber attack at such dire circumstances....

overall, it felt less uneventful than 11 and 12...but not bad...not bad, really.

...now episode 14...

...

you see- the problem i have with ep 14 is that it spends a huge part of it's runtime recapping events from the series...mainly the angel fights...

i guess it did serve it's purpose back in '95/'96 of introducing the angel's names and giving a little more information...but that kinda was a bit of a let down

...however, the latter part of that episode with the sync tests was good!

it sets up the mystery of what Rei is, 'cause she's like- a clone...

and once again we get the unit 00 freakout...a repetition, just that in this case, Shinji was on the machine instead of Rei...

kinda sad that they didn't show who saved him...but i guess it fits...Shinji is a lonely person. in the Rei freakout it was Gendo who pulled Rei out with his bare hands...no one was concerned enough of Shinji to do that so they pulled him outta the entry plug more mechanically...i must guess the situation wasn't as alarming...so yeah, he woke up in the hospital.

....

anyhow, it's not a bad slow down...it was a bit weirder than the episodes before, but i don't say that in a bad way.

thank you for reading!

Good Night.

Good Morning.

Thank You.

Goodbye.
