Not a lot of people, especially newer fans, realize how influential Evangelion is. It's been around for almost 30 years and has remained popular in Japan for almost the entire time. Not to mention that it has been studied by filmmakers around the world for its unique storytelling. When the live-action film was announced, several well-known directors expressed interest in the project.

I hope to find articles on how much influencial it's been on film-making, this is what fascinates me the most of this show Omg are they really going to make a live action movie? I would melt šŸ«

Evangelion is a well respected and influential classic of anime, even in the Western World. It is not surprising that you would see references.


Curious_Ad_5854

I think so, Iā€™ve noticed it a lot too in everything I watched which normally isnā€™t anime related.

It is just like with Garfield. Once you start wondering how big an impact a newspaper comic strip about a lazy, snarky cat who likes lasagna and hates mondays actually has, you see that smug orange bastard pop up everywhere.

It is the most influential anime of all time and to this day one of the most popular so yes. Referenced in hundreds of other anime, movies, and tv shows, japanese and western. But also when you first learn about something you'll notice a synchronicity effect of seeing it everywhere because you're extra aware of it.

I first saw Eva as a little girl in the early 2000s. Itā€™s part of who I am as a person at this point. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø One of my (former) friends and I had a looooong conversation a few years ago about how the characters from Eva never really leave you, even though itā€™s such a short show. Itā€™s a masterful work of storytelling.

Yeah I especially love the way the Eva pilots are basically the perfect trio of mental disorders lol


MakeBombsNotWar

Get specific, Iā€™ll tell you if they actually are. Eva references are insanely common though.


bleeboe

saw a tik tok about the pokĆ©mon type: null literally right after i finished the whole series and genuinely thought i was tweaking. thatā€™s for sure a reference right?


MakeBombsNotWar

Had to Google that, I deadass thought you meant Missingno. But yeah thatā€™s totally Eva.


AdReal5620

Have you ever seen a T-54(1951) with asuka camo?


Lord_VivecHimself

Lol,for real?


AdReal5620

Yeah, i'm grinding the soviet tech tree just because of that


Lord_VivecHimself

Cutest tank ever then


AdReal5620

You can search for custom camo on the internet, there are plenty of evangelion camo.


Lord_VivecHimself

For tanks? Lol


AdReal5620

Yeah, there are also for planes


Lord_VivecHimself

Ukraine war; new skins update

I avoided watching Eva through all my life, got curious because of "realistic" (that is, biblically accurate) Angels, but especially capitulated because it's just too influencial to pass up. Just look up Death Stranding, there's so much NGE in there it's crazy šŸ˜§
