    Unpopular opinion: I hated Evangelion, and always think that people give too much meaning behind the imaginery and symbolism.

    Sure, trauma, failure, loss are bad, but lots of stuff made no sense even with extensive explanations by fans.

    I love Madoka, and think it communicates similiar concept much better.

      Not unpopular and not wrong. It was one of “The Firsts” that really influenced people.

      I don’t love Evangelion, but I don’t hate it. I lump it with other media of that era like Matrix, Lain, Friends & Seinfeld, etc. They walked so others can run.

        The first Matrix stands the test of time.

        Lain… never got into it. Friends aged badly.

        I have yet to watch Seinfeld.
