Today I’ve got a review that perhaps a few of you might be interested in – my sprawling, exhaustive reflection on Neon Genesis Evangelion as a whole, as I tackle a formal review of the show’s twenty-six episode run for Anime News Network. This was a genuinely intimidating project to take on, and I worked as hard as I could to do the series justice, in all its rambling narrative poignancy and greater industry influence. Returning to Evangelion was a thrilling reminder of just how powerful anime can be, and I was happy to lend my own few thoughts to the dialogue on this wonderful show. I hope you enjoy my piece!
This was a great review!
I’ve been very much enjoying your Eva write-ups — they’ve helped me spot a lot of little things I’ve otherwise overlooked.
This is an amazing write-up!!!! You really do reflect on every theme that you love about Evangelion, and having read all that I have read from you, I see how those themes continue to resonate with you in other works as well. Truthfully a show that changed the way I look at media myself, too.
