I honestly don't think it's particularly "philosophical". It just uses a lot of symbolism and that's all mostly towards the end. Most of the runtime is a teen mech drama, character study at best. What questions is it posing? When you're not a teen it's kinda hard to rewatch.

I think its classic legacy is largely the art direction and atmosphere.

I think Mushishi or Kino or even some of the more political Gundams, are genuinely thought provoking. Many others. Eva does not do that for me.

Mostly I like Evangelion because auteurs are fairly rare in this medium, especially TV series. It's flawed in lots of ways and is confused about what it's actually doing, but to me that is part of what makes it interesting. It ends up being a highly personal work where the "feelings" and artistic intent of the creators are centered in a way that is usually heavily moderated by the typical needs and goals of television anime production (again, that tension between art and capital is part of what makes it compelling).

Maybe it could have been decent if it focused more on developing a consistent world building and less on the ill-informed opinions of Anno about philosophy/psychology. The equivalent of an editor to sometimes say "that is just stupid" or "it doesn't work that way" could also have helped.
And honestly, even the girls lack appeal.
There are good things and concepts, but it is buried in a big messy pile of content of questionable quality.

I don't understand this criticism that gets thrown around a LOT. There's actually very little of that in the TV series beyond some superficial jargon like the names and proper nouns. The show almost entirely focuses on human relationships, loneliness, family bonds, etc.
Also it has a fuckton of "world building" so I'm not sure what lorefags like you actually want.

It is about a very distorced view of how they work. Like Anno had some issue and decided to generalize like everybody also had it.

As for the world building, in the original series, by the end, you barely have any idea of what the hell is going on. The movie ending made things a bit more clear. Then the PSP game made things more clear still. But things should have been even more clear from the start, a lot of things, even now I believe, don't have a proper explanation. For instance, why did the contact of Adam and Lilith made everybody dissolve into tang by eliminating their AT fields? Sure, Lilith and Adam lifeforms weren't meant to exist together, but it doesn't explain how it results in an effect like that. For that matter, even why there were two types of seeds of life that weren't meant to exist together isn't explained, or anything of the sort.

The AT fields separate everyone from each other, thus we all become tang when eliminated. The stuff with the First Ancestral Race isn't explained much, but when they died they sent out Seeds of Life, knowledge and power,1 per planet, w lances in case somehow someone got both knowledge and power and used that to attain godlike power and cause shenanigans. The old dead aliens probably didn't want the new species to repeat their mistakes.

I understand what you're saying. I guess for me, I do think the emotional aspects of the show work, especially with Misato, Gendo, Asuka, and Shinji. They each have significant relationship voids in their life and desperately try to fill that need, to varying degrees of failure and limited success. I think those human needs of wanting a partner who understands and loves you, a mother, a father, are very relatable. I find it compelling and interesting, personally. And it's portrayed in ways that are unusual for television anime. It's normal for other mediums to have authentic (but heightened) depictions of human desire and need for love, but less so in anime and that's why the show works for me.

I just think it's neat and there's nothing like it (that I know of) in television anime. It's a beautiful clusterfuck of the creators and staff trying to actually end a story about giant robots getting facefucked by god or whatever while being totally pushed to and past their creative and physical limits. It's a classic creative situation of intense time & labor limitations resulting in art that would not be possible with unlimited resources -- and in fact, that's why the rebuilds are such garbage.

Unpopular opinion: Kaworu's presence ruined the lore making it unecessary complicate.

He was supposed to be the angel Tabris, not the vessel of Adam. Adam was a giant of light, reduced to an embryo after second impact and then found again, he started to grow hidden in Terminal Dogma.

But Kaworu changed it by saying it was Lilith, and then they introduced more complicate stuff with EoE.

It isn't really that deep philosophically.

It's almost like abstract art people just sort of pull whatever meaning they want out of it.

There is a bit of a theme about a person's worth and value but it's not that deep.

>Shinji feels abandoned
>Asuka feels worthless
>Rei is a replaceable clone

It's a shitty show made by a self compassionate man child. Shinji is a shitty, boring, repetitive character that appeals to whiny faggots with daddy and mommy issues whom only exist to make everyone around them miserable.

I'm not going to complain about all the biblical symbolism that is there just to look cool, pretty much all anime do that.

The women are hot, the Evas are cool (as long as you forget the whole "DURR THEY ACTUALLY ARE ANGELS WOOOW" thing) I like the angel designs, but that's about it.

This shit ruined a generation of men. Worst protagonist, worst mecha, worst fucking fanbase full of snobs who think it's deep and "revolutionized" mecha.

this is on the level of saying you can justify why spirits are summoned in fate: everything about folklore is headcannon
your mom has an equally valid opinion

Great show, great movies, great rebuilds. my unpopular opinion would be that 3.33 is my favorite of the rebuilds. i spent so much time arguing with people on /a/ after the camrip was release. I don't know if the general consensus has changed but I hope you all come to love it as I do

Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA Is better mainly because all the characters aged compared to them being kids and annoying little shits.

It's a show made by a mentally unstable japanese otaku who took a bunch of stuff from tokusatsu/mecha shows he liked and put it together with his personal feelings. I think it's just teenagers who think it's a philosophical thinkpiece
