[quote=@Cassowarysaur] It ISN'T complicated though. It's a coming-of-age story that hides behind Christian metaphors and psycho-babble. It doesn't take a genius to figure it all out. I don't want to blow my own horn, but I'm the same age as Shinji and I could grasp all the concepts it was talking about, even with my limited knowledge. I often get infatuated with the things that confuse me the most (which is why I can tell you far too much about the Bible) so that's probably why I can't get enough of NGE. I still to this day have no idea how Anno managed to create such a masterpiece by simply "slipping on a banana peel" as I like to say, given how his justification for many of the themes in the show is "it was cool". If I were to name all of the Angels, I would say . . . Adam, Lilith, Sachiel, Shamshel, Ramiel, Gaghiel, Sandalphon, Israfel, Matariel, Iruel, Leliel, Bardiel, Zeruel, Arael, Armisael and Tabris. Those are sixteen and I'm missing one, but I'm stumped. Turns out I don't know all of them. [/quote] True all the way. I understand it completely as well. I just hear from reviews from other critics that it can be. That's their thing though. And yes, I began watching the show last year, along with the Rebuilds, when I too was 14 :P. Yes, I am going into 16 this Saturday. Well... Anno was pretty depressed back when he was making the whole show. I guess THAT somehow made him able to create such a magnificent Anime, slightly based on what he was going through. But we may never know... and now he's working on a new JAPANESE Godzilla movie for next year, which I'm REALLY HYPERACTIVELY hyped about! Your missing what is perhaps the biggest angel in Evangelion history.
