NEON GENESIS EVANGELION APPRECIATION POST

Hello :)
 How are you guys doing? I liked it better when I didn't have to study Maths. But that's right, I think I'll be able to finish reading The girl with the dragon tattoo this week. 乂◕‿◕乂 And the Portuguese class today was funny. My friend told the teacher he looks like Sheldon, from The Big Bang Theory LOL he spent the whole class giving examples of isolated phonemes like he Portuguese "ã" and that German "ch" in "ich". It was really funny to see.

 BTW, today I'll write about an anime/manga called Neon Genesis Evangelion which my father doesn't like because it use that religious words. I think it's kinda stupid, because I use this kind of word all the time, and he didn't even watch this, but whatever. :)

Neon Genesis Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン Shin Seiki Evangerion), commonly referred to as Evangelion, is a commercially and critically successful anime series that began airing in October 1995.
Evangelion is an apocalyptic mecha* action series which revolves around the efforts by the paramilitary organization Nerv to fight monsters called Angels, primarily using giant mecha called Evangelions which are piloted by select teenagers,including the primary protagonist.
Events in the series refer to Judeo-Christian symbols from the Book of Genesis, Biblical apocrypha, etc. Later episodes deconstruct the themes and motifs of the mecha genre and shift focus to psychoanalysis of the main characters, who display various emotional problems and mental illnesses. The nature of existence and reality are questioned in a way that lets Evangelion be characterized as "postmodern fantasy". Hideaki Anno, the director of the anime series, suffered from clinical depression prior to creating the series, and the psychological aspects of the show are based on the director's own experiences with overcoming this illness.


*mecha is a science fiction term for a large walking robot.

That's it, I won't tell the story because I want you to read/watch :) you can watch it subbed or dubbed here and read it here.

Bye :)
