Although I didn't like this work when I was a child, I inadvertently collected a lot of related articles. The photos and the characters in it also left a mark on my heart. I also played the game "Ayanami Rei's Raising Project" and bought the model of the first machine. I don't know why... Maybe it's because I have a friend who is obsessed with this show. , in the end he subtly influenced me, or Anno Hideaki planted something in his heart...
Later, I heard that EVA was a masterpiece from time to time, but I didn't take it seriously. During this period of time, I, who are approaching the age of I read the information on the wiki, listened to the explanations of some experts, and watched some stories about Judaism. I was deeply attracted by this drama

"Sincerely For You" is the end, I want to write my thoughts in this part. This and the last two episodes of the TV version are the parts that I think are the closest to God and religion, and they are also exciting and moving me.
What kind of story is this, what kind of world view is this, so meticulous, grand and interesting, and the relationship between the characters is complex and layered. (It can be compared to the Game of Thrones)
Plato said that people are originally two heads, four hands, and four feet. God thinks that people are too strong and splits them in half. We are born without the other half. Looking for our other half, now I think, what he wants to say is not necessarily love, maybe it is love, love that we have not yet understood.
Human completion, what exactly does it complete, and what makes us incomplete? What is the soul, I have listened to a lot of discussions by experts, but I found that they did not clearly explain the body and soul, EVA and nerve synchronization, and why the clone (Ayanami Rei) is the soul container.
The secret agency is called NERV, which stands for the nervous system. What is the nervous system and what is the soul? My idea is that human beings have a body, a brain, consciousness, intelligence, and disposition. These clones have all of them, but the soul (soul) is something else (probably has something to do with nerves). The driver and the EVA are synchronized with the soul, and the countless Lingbos cloned out are the same...
Besides, what Hideyoshi Anno wants to express, maybe he doesn't know what kind of person he is. The form of stream of consciousness in animation has been revealed for a long time. I think this is not only animation, but also a work of art...
What is art, maybe it is something that involves the soul. The old theatrical version is more individualistic and experimental. Unlike the new theatrical version, the new theatrical version is more commercial and serves as a foreshadowing of the live-action version, I personally think.
Going back again, Anno's stream of consciousness expresses...
yes... we, people, people, people live in crowds, people can't live without other people, then they become survival, become another kind of creature.
People need other people, and people may need the relationship, approval, and praise of others more than other animals.
We want to be valuable in the crowd, and if we feel that we are worthless, we will hate ourselves.
There is a line in the story, said by a person who did not show up, like a voice-over, maybe that is what the author wanted to say: man is the only creature that hates himself.
Why do we hate ourselves, why do we feel anxious, why do we feel lonely?
Why do not want to communicate or contact with others because of fear of being hurt, but I am lonely?
I think sex is a ritual for the opposite sex to complete, and it is also a kind of soul exchange. The most direct comfort, just like what Misato wanted to give to Shinji in the end...
The author's answer to the worldview is that we are originally one, not It's just that two people are split, it's all people, we're separated...
Humans are like separate islands in the sea, lonely, but in the depths of the sea, they are connected to each other.
Should we finally be back together again, back in Lilith's mother's arms, like in the beginning...
