Fans get very attached to the characters throughout the show. A lot of them are compelling for better or worse (Shinji is polarizing)

Here’s a quote from one of the animators about the religious symbolism -



That being the case, there are still 9999999 YouTube videos and articles analyzing the Christian symbolism and how it intertwines with the story, why it’s an allegory for xyz.

That’s a part of why NGE fandom is still so active - there’s so many details in the show you can look at and try to make sense of, even if it was never intended to be that deep to begin with. There’s a lot of other anime like that but none have really grabbed the attention of the mainstream like NGE.

I guess I need to watch a good YouTube video on it.

Maybe it’s not intentional and intelligent with the religious symbolism like “ghost in shell” for example but I think they knew what they’re doing. It’s kind of a trend with a lot of anime’s I’ve seen to play on Jewish/Christian themes

It’s interesting how outside culture influenced so much anime but I get why it would be seen as “mysterious” and popular in Japan

BSD back better then ever. Rampo is the fukking goat :wow: If it aint obvious if you don't remember events that were brought up from last season go rewatch S4 :ufdup:

Nikoliay wanted to kill Fyodor was not something I am suspecting. S4 had a lot of focus on the hunting dogs, but these Decay of Angels might be a nutcase all on their own. And prob get a bigger focus in S5.

Ranpo top 10 IQ in anime history at this point. :wow:

Dazai clutching it up at the end :whew:

Dazai be playing the strategist for this whole series. He knew Rampo would pull through.

Although Rampo explaining everything had me :dead: :mjlol:

Dude has this unshackable confidence. :wow:

I'll always be amazed at how I transitioned to flat out campaigning for this show from my watching the first eps like "ehh... I guess it's okay :francis:"

Rampo the definition of a badass normal. I love the shyt out of this show :wow:
