Its just not giant robot anime(lol, flcl reference) and there not just robots, there actual creatures
its also has a psychological side too. But its a show that follows the character Shinji Ikari as he is called to pilot Eva Unit-01 by his father who abandoned him 10 years ago(hes 14 in the series, he kinda has to be) His father is the head of an orginization called NERV. this is the daughter of another orginization called GEHERN(sp) These orginizations look over the development of giant creatures called the E-series or Evangelions/Eva. These came from the Giant of Life, also known as Adam.
but anayways.. As the series follows Shinji's there are beings called Angels that come down to Earth and attack New Tokyo 3. Shinji's duty(heh, i said duty) is to pilot Eva unit-01 and fight these creatures. AS the plot develops, it is discovered that a sercret orginization called Seele (pronounced say'le') has possesion of the dead sea scrolls. and by deciphereing these scrolls they have it known that they plan to use Adam(the giant of light) to cleanse man of his wrongs, and thereby destroying all of mankind. But as the show goes on new characters, like Rei and Asuka and they pilot unit 00 and unit 03 respectively.
sorry, im getting tired so read the wikipedia entry about it, its better, lol

FLCL says giant anime robot shows are all Gundams. :p
I have one thing for Evangellion though: Worst voice actors in the history of anime.
Sephiroth - August 11, 2006 06:52 PM (GMT)
Sounds like a very good anime...i'll check in the net...

he did in that last episode(or the second to last or whatnot)n but the original pilot was asuka langely soryu.
Eva-00 -Rei Ayanami(character cloned fom shinji's mother..has no soul...creepy..she is also a part of the dummy plug system)
Eva-01 -Shinji Ikari(son of Gendo Ikari. The head honcho at NERV HQ. Ran away and has serious problems with everything..kind of emo, lol)
Eva-02 -Toji Suzuhara (was destroyed by the dummy plug in Eva-01 when Eva-02 was infected by an angel and went bezerk)
Eva-03 -Asuka Langley Soryu(Part German Part American Part Japanese.. this girl has some serious psychological issues with her mom)
Eva-04 -(Vanished along with NERV U.S. Base with the explosion that resulted from the activation of a S2 engine)
i might have eva-02 and eva-04 reversed

Yes I love this show, Rei is my favorite character. And from research I found that NGE kind of follows the christian faith. But almost all anime have something they model after. This one's kind of abvious, Fullmetal Alchemist revolved around the study and relegion fo Alchemy.

Emogelion....
Im sorry man but this show is too....self destructive.
Literally a majority of the show has to do with some sort of an inner proble, with about 2 mins of fighting and another set of self destrcution, and i mean, really, come on.

I'm not a major fan of it either.
coolman - August 14, 2006 05:01 PM (GMT)
Plus everyone acts depressing every episode
Link - August 15, 2006 12:26 AM (GMT)
I like this anime...It's just when it gets to certian parts, I look at the screen and go. "WTF?!" There's also the last episode...I had to watch it like 5 times to get the freaking point of it!! 5 FREAKING TIMES!! omg Still I got it...It was intersting to watch, and it did have it's funny side. Yes, BDX does have a point about it...If you haven't seen it, then try checking it out. It's got comedy in it, and it can get intersting in some points. In others though...It might just give your brain an overload.
Dictator - August 15, 2006 12:48 AM (GMT)
I don't watch it because the voices suck. Besides that they are a bunch of angsty depressed people. I read the manga, thought it was good at first but after I got further into the series on the anime I was killed.
Link - August 15, 2006 12:51 AM (GMT)
I haven't read the manga fully. I only read the chapters of which you see Asuka for the first time. What killed you in the anime?
Dictator - August 15, 2006 01:09 AM (GMT)
The bad music that plays in the end of the series. The voices. Little bits of fighting. The angst characters. Everything... This is why i prefer Gundam.
Link - August 15, 2006 01:23 AM (GMT)
I do like Gundam more then this series...But the voice acting isn't bad, and neither is the music...But then again it's just me who thinks this.
500mph - August 15, 2006 04:30 AM (GMT)
ok, sorry i havent been here, computer needed fixing
its not actually modled after christianity, its actuall psychologic idealisms
hte voice acting really isnt that bad if you watch the seris as broadcasted, but when you buy the dvd's , they remastered the voice's (considering it ten years later they sound very diffent) the voice is america were cool
yes this is angsty, but i dont mind, its the way he series is set up. at first emo #1(shinji) is all no freind like, but as the series develops, he meets Toji and Kensuke and isnt that bad.. but towards the end(after he fights toji, he goes emo again. emo. #2(rei) goes through finding out who she is, but the as she seems to be a real persom, she kills herself and starts again. at the beggining of the series she doesnt reall have any emotions at all. Emo #3 (asuka) is actually very preppy/excited at the beginnign of the show. but then an angel try's to understand her mind and makes her emo.. this last for the series but in the movie she gets happy and then dies. Misato is good until Ryoji Kaji is killed. even all of this ideaology is freudian work

In the terms of the thermodynamic model which informs Freud's concept of the death drive, what is feared is the "entropy" at work at the heart of all organization, all differentiation. By this same token, however, the woman also signifies precisely that desired "state where everything is the same": the pre-Oedipal bliss of the fusion of bodies in which infant and mother are "inextricably mixed", that absence of the pain of differing, condition of identity and meaning, whose extinction is deferred until death |
theyre not robots they're biomechanical organisms
and there is a reaon for the judeo-christianity
| QUOTE |
| Some staff members from the project have said that they originally used Christian symbolism only to give the project a unique edge against other giant robot shows. Christianity is practiced by only about 1% of the population in Japan. Assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki stated in an interview: "We just thought the visual symbols of Christianity looked cool." Whether this mindset changed over the course of the series' production, or has any relation to creator/director Hideaki Anno's symbolic intentions, is still a point of contention among fans. |

Dark Mage - August 24, 2006 05:39 AM (GMT)
Apparently Crawling is in Evangelion,I think when Shinji is fighting the angels or something.
Link - August 24, 2006 08:12 AM (GMT)
Which one? (He's fighting angels in about each episode)
Sephiroth - August 24, 2006 02:41 PM (GMT)
