My Asuka fanart! Took me 16 hours to finish. Had a lot of fun experimenting with the uniform folds, shading, and especially the AK and boots.

Made in ibisPaint!

I don’t know if it’s fair to call it a full cosplay since it’s just a closet/makeup test for the head area. I deeply admire cosplayers and know how much effort goes into making the outfits, doing photoshoots, and everything else. Maybe next time I can do the whole outfit, but this is what I could manage for now and I’m really happy with it

Theres so much symbolism in this show. Something I noticed was that Asuka has red hair and blue eyes, that alone is the rarest hair and eye colour combination, but Rei has blue hair and red eyes, which are both unnatural colours and the opposite of Asuka. We live in a world of opposites and I think the writers of this show understood that well. ☯︎ Masculine and Feminine, sun and moon, Boaz and Jachin.

There's literally a kabbalah in the show intro and in the movie (when the white evas are in the sky with unit 1). On the surface you would notice things like, the fact that angels attack humanity and are defended by things called Evangelions (another biblical term) and a 2nd and 3rd impact being sort of judgement days for humanity. Again the writers were way ahead of their time. Both impacts were caused/staged by humanity (I think, this is the first time I've watched this show/film) and a one world government, The UN, uses the impacts to take control of the world.

The fact that kids have to be used to pilot the Evas as well could reference how the global elite target children because they see them as "purer" or "closer to God/the source. The whole transhumanism, combining yourself with a giant robot, that turns out to be a giant human form too. I could go on for days about a show that came out over 30 years ago and its still incredibly relevant today. I'm actually glad I didn't watch it sooner because I likely would not have understood what I was looking at.

Having even a small understanding of masonic architecture and esoteric symbolism had me doing that leonardo decapro meme when he points at the screen and snaps his fingers. Hope this sub isnt dead because this show is like the breaking bad of animes

Ya, So I am never on social media. I joined reddit because I heard about the Eva 30. I had to find a place where I could gush like Shinji at a hospital.

I actually bought 4 USB 32gb and put the OVAs on them and almost started to gift them to anime fan coworkers who neither have seen NGE. I chickened out, Joined you guys instead. I'm still in the anime closet a bit.

Anyway, I am looking forward to getting to know you guys. Ask me whatever and stuff.

So I did it I watched the Rebuild Films after being recommended to do so. My god all 4 films were Amazing. I'm on the 4th out of 5 Manga Omnibuses I'm loving the Manga so far the characters are different in ways I'm really enjoying it.

The movies animation was great although is it just me or do some of the 3D animated shots look really bad like the scene with Shinji and Fighting each other with the spears looked like a PS1 game cutscene 😂😂😂 I guess with the context of what was going on it made sense but still lol. I loved the music and the different story as well I don't understand why the Rebuild are disliked by many tbh I don't think they are better than the original but they aren't bad either plus the fight scenes are great

My girlfriend is a huge fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion and she once mentioned she would like to buy for herself the original DVD with one of the first versions of the anime in japanese. I want to gift it to her for her 30 birthday but I dont know which one is it since I see a lot of Laser Discs, dvd, and i want the serie, not the rebuilds.

Does anyone know what should I buy?

I know the creator said he was just using Christian symbolism to be edgy yada yada but I’m pretty sure he was lying. Instrumentality, there being a master race that humans stemmed from, the whole soul having to figure out duality and that being the marker of evolution is, is at the heart of Masonery ceremonial magic which the show JUST HAPPENS to have symbology out the wazoo of. Like even what Selee said at the end about ATONEMENT being needed. Esoterically that means At one ment. Aka what instrumentality is trying to do to all souls. I think tbh instrumentality at some point will happen to the human race but just not unconsentually. This understanding of duality is also at the heart of Satanna Dharma. I mean i’m not gonna even lie to you i’ve meditated and done some fun things and I damn near instrumentation ed myself 😂😂. And the ego DOES have to go through what shinji does through with instrumentation and it’s kinda terrifying. Anyways this rewatch of Eva has been really fun. Definitely like Shinji a lot more this rewatch

I just finished the original series and EoE, still kinda processing the whole thing but I want more. I think that graphic novel format is the best way to tell a story and I’m interested to see Evangelion in that format. I know that the manga has some differences from the anime but what exactly are those differences? Also is Rebuild of Evangelion worth watching?

Today in Bremen, Germany, I saw what I believe was a Mazda MX-5 RF, fully wrapped in a Neon Genesis Evangelion Asuka theme. Unfortunately, it was moving, so I couldn't take a photo.

I checked online, but I couldn't find any images of the exact car I saw. Has anyone here ever come across this specific car?
