Evangelion

Japan is very famous for their animation and cartoons. There are many manga and anime maniacs in Korea. Actually, it is world famous now. As you may heard of mangas like naruto, one piece, and etc, they are very famous, but my favorite anime was Evangelion. This was one time one of the most famous anime that made other animes companies bankrupt for being so popular. However, something that made this anime interesting and popular was the deep meaning for everything. This anime has a lot of philosophical meaning and somehow religious. It also has some controversial meanings. You have to watch this like three times to understand the story.





This story is about about monsters against mechas. Monsters called Angel destroyed half of Earth’s population and people are struggling to survive. Then, people started to make a new kind of weapon in order to defeat the angels. These weapons were called Eva. They are the only who get penetrate the angel’s armor. This gave a little hope to people who are living. This might sound like a normal story of monsters and robots but this is not it. The Eva represents Eve, the betrayer of god. Angels are the followers of god and the ones who are trying to help Earth. It is very ironic; it is as if the human livings are the ones who are the bad people. God is trying to change the world but humans are the ones who are trying to stop god’s action. I might be spoiling some of you people but then in the end, the world gets destroyed and the only ones living are the two main characters. Watching the ending, I realized that the author wants to tell us that this might happen to us too. People are trying to avoid death by making new medical treatments and technology. We might be the ones who are disobeying God’s order. There might be a judgment day like in Evangelion.
