Neon Genesis Evangelion
The series explores the experiences and emotions of Evangelion pilots and members of Nerv as they try to prevent Angels from causing more cataclysms. In the process, they are called upon to understand the ultimate causes of events and the motives for human action. The series has been described as a deconstruction of the mecha genre[5] and it features archetypal imagery derived from Shinto cosmology as well as Jewish and Christian mystical traditions, including Midrashic tales and Kabbalah. The psychoanalytic accounts of human behavior put forward by Freud and Jung are also prominently featured.
EVA is the legend! When I took an animation history class as an undergraduate student in the US, EVA was discussed at length, especially in the last episode where it breaks the 4th wall, which was revolutionary. I love the show a lot myself.
I’ve never watched Gundam, but I’ve heard people saying you are either Team EVA or Team Gundam. I’m sure it’s not entirely true, but wondering if you know anything about such a divide? Also thinking of other famous and newer robot-related anime such as Code Geass.
