   Unrelated but if I were this nigger Shinji's dad I would've personally belted the fuck out of him by like 5 seconds after the kid gets out of that robot in Episode 1

     It only gets interesting cause the animator ran out of money for the fight scenes halfway through the show and were forced to make up some religious psych bullshit to wave off the fact they had no clue what they were doing. The last two episodes had no relation to the rest of the tv series, and that's why they made 3 movies offering alternative endings.

The series delves into psychological and emotional depths, tackling themes of existentialism and identity.

     You will never make a 2deep4u anime that makes no sense but people worship 20+ years later.

     And pseuds never will understand there's no meaning except for whatever you project. Ano was just depressed and used Shinji as a stand-in for himself while Misato, Rei, and Asuka were just the types of women he liked at the time. It started off as a mecha anime about saving the world and then started getting deeper into religious tropes as Ano got more depressed. 20 years later the show still doesn't make any sense, it's the Lain of mech animes.
