'One anime to fascinate them all, to lead them all to the geek world and interest them in the arts of Japan where the talented anime directors live.'

- an altered quote from 'Lord of the Rings'

'Even an old rose shines in the shallow dance of the raindrops. Hope.'

- some guy on the internet

'Let's go bowling.'

- the dude from 'The big Lebowski'

You will find out what these quotes mean and what they have to do with 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' right after the ad.


*Ad

Alas, that was a quick and non-existent ad and even skipping it as there are no ads at all in the review of mine is fine to me.
Many things such as perspectives, impressions, facts, theories and opinions were written, told or expressed in reviews in various languages. Relevant stuff that doesn't need to be repeated because you certainly don't want to read a cheap copy here, a déjà vu, spitted out like the prepared food from a 2000's tv show where the canditates have to eat disgusting food.

'What rhymes with orange?
A bench's appearing, oh,
like the hate preaching
Ben Shapiro.'

- a rapper who likes to eat wraps.

We now reach the review's content itself. Make yourself some tea, maybe even with some ice and blow it until it heats up for your drink. Wait, was the humorous approach based on unusual comedy? Anyway, let's have fun.

'How you like that?'

- Blackpink {Kpop band from South Korea}

The overall construct, which holds together stronger than any brick by Cobi, is a journey into the scientific field of two kinds of sciences exploring knowledge that is misunderstood, ignored or ridiculed in some social structures. - Psychology and Philosophy.

Just like your own self sometimes you need a perspective from other people who explain the individual and its manifestations. Thus self-love
, which thanks to Shinji, who seems like the personification of the anime maker at the time 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' was made, which is not to be confused with Narcissism, is going to be achieved like getting a poke leauge medal.

A + self-reflection + theory of mind × good people = emotional stability + life experience + wisdom

A = love

How does one deal with a seemingly hopeless situation for humanity when unscrupulous mechanics of the unstable anime character cast subtly merge with a superficial symbolization of religion while profound

psychoanalytic self-therapeutic nihilism gets 'nietzcheled' and the 90's aesthetics in the background, detailed as in a Michael Jackson music video meets Kdrama light effects choreograph together,
while epic Micheal Bay - like snapshots of mechas were part of many spectacular moments?



'The stone garden', a famous rap song, describes the nihilistic tone, while hope and social criticism kiss each other at the end.

Deus ex machinas disguised as characters or
Evangelions

do appear, but they're always entertaining. The religious elements were surprising, the focus on the psyche of the characters in what was essentially an action anime genre called mecha, an influential novelty and a new era for people who thought anime was just for kids or just a distraction from the here and now, was a wonderful spectacle to behold the nineties.

A farce of the entertainment industry and another consumption to fill the soul. - Grunge, with its ironic lyrics, had told this to us earlier and we enjoyed the dirty rock music as delicious fruit of unique views for the expanding universe.

But the revolutionary nature of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', its mecha design, which clearly differs from the original and well-known classic 'Gundam' or one of the many newer representatives called 'Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle',

was a splendor of the creative zone, which made it clear that you can draw mechas in other ways aswell. Less clunky and more how amazing Evangelions just look. A defining anime of its time, with a memorable opening song that, like a rose seed that grows into a delicate flower, spreading joy to the loved one, still brings a nostalgic smile to fans of the anime.

But a funny aftertaste remains when reading the slightly cynical lyrics.
The substance is underscored by music, which is subtle when it has to be and was therefore not composed to be remembered, but it whispers certain curious moments for those who recognize them.

Other compositions are clearly recognizable and amuse the audience by clarifying some true personalities that have been teased throughout the anime.

How do we see each other? How are you perceived by people and how do you really feel compared to your public persona?
Introspection is one of many responses of the solution set.

The development of the story, the familiarization of the imperfect characters of the anime and its teachings certainly had inspiring moments of inventiveness for the teaching material for English teachers.

Imagine an English test about 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. You would definitely be happy and cheerful to write a good grade and that doesn't sound wrong. CGCFAD.
This was for the enthusiastic Padawans of music. MiC drop.

This anime is a classic, without a doubt, but
the focus on Shinji is clear. You learned more about other individuals like Misato here and there, but I would have liked more episodes with and about these people.

And that only 14-year-old teenagers can be pilots was never explained.

Shinji, the reluctant hero, happened to be the son of Father of the year Gendo, who of course was internally sub-par, just too perfect for the story, but one has to assume that's the case.
Also more episodes with Shinji's school friends for one certain emotional moment in the anime would have been optimal so that this emotional connection could have been made more believable.

Check it out if you want a different kind of mecha anime. Some things may seem pseudophilosophical and some things may not, and that's what makes this anime really interesting.

Sometimes you don't know what's true and what's not. However, other moments are unintentionally funny, while others, such as the dance, will forever be part of great memories.

'Neon Genesis Evangelion' - Illogical moments, logic, an individual cast with partly only ideas of a character archtype as a personality, mechs without Donald's unhealthy food, philosophy, light fare for psychology students and a flair of the 90's make this anime worth watching whilst it has also shaped some aspects of today's anime world.

Certain things in the anime may not be suitable for people who are sensitive to light effects.
