neon genesis evangelion first viewing

reaction thread

this is the only reason i logged back into main

i’m gonna be watching the series (episodes 1-26) on netflix (Japanese audio, english subtitles) followed by The Ending of Evangelion.

im fairly certain netflix has the directors cuts of episodes 21-24 so i should be good?

uhh from here on out this thread will probably contain spoilers for the series and The Ending of Evangelion so please mute the thread if you don’t want to be spoiled

so yeah this is my first time watching it. begin thread:

i’m only on episode 4 and this poor child shinji is having to process the trauma of war with alien giants jfc

apparently there’s heavy religious imagery?? why the fuck is every explosion shaped like a cross??? what does that signify??
