My favorite is Shinji Ikari's inner monologue. When I read it again, I was in the first year of junior high. Although many times it was just the same sentence being asked by different people, it seemed that the person who asked was me. After reading it, I was full of thoughts, and wrote an essay based on rhetorical questions. After reading it, the teacher said, "There is still sunshine in life". Laugh.
When I listen to the opening song of the TV version, I still get emotional and hum along. When I see that eye, I still feel that it is the most delicate and beautiful eye I have ever seen. I still clearly remember that Ikari Shinji was the first male protagonist in the anime that I liked. At that time, he was still called "Shinzhi". When he was in fourth grade, he bought a computer at home, his first screen name, and many more after that. 's forum, the registered name of the mailbox is always this name, even after knowing that it should be called Ikari Shinji. It's just because I heard that name when I first met.
When I watched EVA, it was probably the last broadcast on the satellite TV channel. I remember it was Shandong Satellite TV. At that time, the name was still called "Evangelion", and the beginning and end of the film were still in Japanese. I consider myself lucky not to miss out. But in the long eight years that followed, I only met one peer who had seen EVA completely, and I was still a little lonely.
One summer vacation, I accidentally broke into an EVA-themed website. The massive data and pictures inspired a strong desire to collect. However, I found that my desire to collect is far stronger than the desire for knowledge. So after a few days of warmth with animation and pictures, Those large folders fell silent again. The debate about EVA will never stop, and the mystery of EVA will always be so addictive. Even if we knew that Uncle Anno was cheating money, we still jumped into that pit without hesitation.
It belongs to us, to everyone who sees it and loves it. It is like a password, which can open memories and ignite enthusiasm, the initial emotion for animation. At least, for me, it is.
I watched the theatrical version last year, and I was stunned when I watched it. In fact, I was stunned a lot when I watched it. Although I have read the content introduction of this theatrical version many times before I don't know a few years ago, I still feel that it is not very good after reading it in its entirety. Haven't watched the new one yet, guess what, this time, what awaits us.
