With heavy themes of Christianity and extreme Extensionalism, it is a story that stays with you.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is an artistic masterpiece that is very much a product of its time, as it represents the introspective nature of the generation, all the while masquerading as a typical mecha anime. On the surface, the story follows three teen mech pilots tasked by the government to destroy Angels, intergalactic beings responsible for causing a catastrophic apocalypse on Earth 15 years prior. But underneath that, it is an examination of psychosis, mental health, and the human condition, as everyone comes to terms with themselves amongst constant, world-ending threats that only they can stop. With heavy themes of Christianity and extreme Extensionalism, it is a story that stays with you.
