I initially thought that the show was really cool with its abstract nature and artwork, but felt like the various philosophical and religious symbolism was slapped on. Going back in knowing the story better, paying more attention, and connecting some of the dots made me realize how well connected it all is and how strong the world building is.

Spoiler for Episode 3:
I thought that the similarities between the opening of this episode and the depiction of Jesus below were striking. The receptors on his head also look like horns, so it seems like there's a clash between Jebus and demonic/antichrist symbolism that I think portrays Shinji's internal struggle surrounding his role in the battle.


Just one shot out of so many things to dissect in the show. I'm writing down all of the numbers as I see them, thinking they might correspond to bible verses or some ****.
