    Crows-Kill post is the most perfect break down of Eva on almost all level's. I had a feeling that the series also represented the situation Anno was in during the creation and production of the series, but couldn't get it all to gether to make a educated observation. And Y the religous aspects are bletent and obvious not created by the crative team but by anno him slef as stated by Crow. The movies was anno's retelling of the crusifixtion and resurection, hell it was about his crusifixtion by the fans and studio's for the original ending of the series and his ressurection to finish it.

    No, there are no religious themes in Evangelion except the ones you put in there yourself.

    Kazuya is the assistant director for the television show and HE directed Episode 25', Air, which you say supposedly has religious meaning. The symbols of religion are just trappings, it has no religious significance at all. Do you honestly think Crows_Kill knows more about what is in the show than the assistant director?

    EDIT:

    To elaborate, the fact that there are "religious" parallels is because the directors put in as much Christian symbology as possible to confuse the Japanese audience. If you put in ENOUGH symbols there will be many accidental parallels, but it really has no Christian meaning. I mean, what is the supposed significance of the 3rd Angel shooting crosses from its eyes? Nothing, unless you read into what isn't there. It just looks cool to animate.

    Of course any symbols and themes in an anime are going to be the ones that you infer yourself. That's literature, that's art.
    I largely agree with Crows' analysis of the symbolism (mainly his "basic" and "abstract" level analysis), with the exception of the Christian Symbols (now that I think about it, I have read that quote from Kazuya before). If any of the christian symbology had any meaning behind them, I don't think they were intended. I believe it was as Y said. They're just a cool vehicle.

    I also don't really see the Eva itself as a symbol for the entire series. Interesting parallel, but I don't think that's what was intended. Anno did what he wanted to do with the budget he had. I think the last two episodes represent what he wanted the viewer to get out of the show and are presented as such as a result of Gainax's low budget at that time. I don't think they appear as they do simply because they're a symbol for Anno's situation in creating the show.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    yeah well now that i think of it....everything in EVA can be connected to characters and events in christian myths...
    how the first angel turns antarctic into an ocean of blood...and the "lance of longinus"...longinus is thought of as the name of the soldier/officer who executed jesus. could go on and on, here..
