What anime has a better plot?
it's not about the story and lore, it's about the characters and psychology! You're missing the point!
K-ON
The entire story is literally about Lovecraftian space gods having sex.
As opposed to you, I'm sure. You are obviously a very intelligent and educated in the secretive ways of esotericism and just happened to come across an image board reserved for degenerate shut-ins and decided to post, of course , with every word written imparting endless knowledge that will no doubt shame the rest of the peasents who share your presence here.
>The End of Evangelion is gnostic as fucks
Well they literally kill the god so they could be free of her fuckery and finally bee at peace.
If that's gnostic, then ok.
>Well they literally kill the god so they could be free of her fuckery and finally bee at peace.
Well. That is not what happens.
Gendo is a selfish dick. He's an antithesis of a hero, he's neglecting his children for a plan to hijack the apocallipse, not stop it, but hijackit for a selfish wish. What does slapping a cross on him mean?
>there was no christian meaning behind the symbolism,
FUCKING YEAH, anybody can see that there are crosses where they clearly don't belong. Probably because the Japanese aren't christian, and that is some cool looking cultural appropriation before it was considered bad.
I was on board till you said
>It's like a religion in that aspect (which is not an accident)
Spare me the bs. Any sort of show that has a split fanbase can fit that tagline. You're literally part of the faggots that make unnecessary points.
>OH THEY TOTALLY MADE FOR IT TO BE DECISIVE ON PURPOSE CAUSE THEY WANT TO MIRROR RELIGION!!!
Where are the evangelion fans that have a clear fucking head.
The point is literally to make fun of religion and the occult. The whole point with SELEE is that they're on their high horse preaching kabbalistic bullshit but what it comes down to is that they're old farts who having conquered the world are still afraid of the one of thing they couldn't escape - death. The occultism is just a justification for the fact that they're so petty. Even when they change into soup the camera focuses on all the cybernetic implants left behind by the SELEE leader, he was doing everything he could so that he wouldn't die.
This is exactly what I mean, Eva-fags see NGE on the same level as religion, pretty much, and everyone else thinks they are enormous faggots who are full of it and believe all their explanations and interpretations of the show are nonsensical drivel. It's exactly like a religion at this point. And the not an accident part, I mean, it's literally called "the New Gospel of Creation". I think it's pretty clear what they were going for.
