How do they connect to each other?
it's not about the story and lore, it's about the characters and psychology! You're missing the point!
And I doubt that knowledge about the Chamber of Guf does much to help understand or enrich the experience of watching NGE.
You'd be wrong then.
>the symbolism is just there too look cool
>there isn't any thought put into it
Reminder that Tsurumaki (not Anno) only said that there was no christian meaning behind the symbolism, ie. they weren't making a commentary about the christian religion. That doesn't mean there was zero thought put into the symbols in the show.
Actually it's godzilla x mecha x matrix.
That simple.
There's nothing but esoteric symbolism in it. To Japanese that sort of thing is normal. Westerners are blindish nowadays.
the plot is retarded, and anyone who likes Eva for the plot is also retarded
Who the fuck cares about the symbolism. The story fucking sucked. God you EVA fags cannot take your head out of your asses for one moment to see past the pretentious bullshit surrounding this "plot" of a half baked mecha.
LOL no, most people in this board are ignorants consumers and underage. Nobody has a serious knowledge of esoterism here.
You are the same kind of people who pretend Evangelion is popular among normies because you are unable to get out of weaboo sphere.
