A pretty good read, wish the article went deeper into the characters tho, especially with shinjis hedgehog dilemma and rei struggle with her own identity as she is a clone and replacable

Make sense, I agree there's a lot to dive in specially when it comes to shinji

I noticed you wrote the article, it's pretty good keep it up! And maybe also write one on monster? It's not as philosophical as Evangelion but definitely a philosophical anime, Johan is a very interesting character to study.

Out of curiosity, did you refer to the evas as robots for simplicity’s sake?

Yes, it was just for the sake of simplicity. I wasn't sure whether it would be good to explain what Evas are or not as the first paragraph was already getting long enough and this wasn't the article's intention (or it would take too long until the reader reaches the actual theme of the article), so I just refered to them as fighting robots believing this would be bo problem (unless it was a full Evangelion's analysis; if this was the case, of course it wouldn't be possible to do so).

Always good to put something like "let's call them robots for now" at the start of the article. Avoids the "ActHuAlLy" ppl

Unless I'm forgetting my Eva... Rei is the clone.

In the Rebuild, Asuka is also from a series of clones.

Ah. Shame she was properly fucked up enough in the original series.

What film was that mentioned? I don't recall anything about Asuka being a clone in the tetralogy.

Thrice Upon a Time. She is referred to as being from the "Shikigani series", there is the scene with all the different pictures of that series being whittled down to one, she sees the original when she is absorbed by Unit 13.
