Re: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Oh, yeah, I finished it. The base episodes aren't really too much of a mind-poke, it's the additions (movies) to it that make it slightly what?

Re: Neon Genesis Evangelion
If you understand the philosophy behind Eva, you will be much better off. Eva is one of the ultimate expressions of Post-Modernism. If you can view everything in the latter parts of the series as "what I experience is the only truth," you will be able to survive it much more easily. Also, it does not help that the series is a terrible amalgamation of Post-Modernism, Christianity, and Kabbalah.

Eh, I don't generally care to apply symbolism to my shows, I just watch them for being shows. 
It would be interesting to argue what everything represented though. (You can view mostly everything in multiple ways.)
