I watched that when I was younger. Still remains one of my favourites. It's wonderful watching capital ships blast the shit out of each other in beautiful animation.

Obviously not to the Japanese. And the Tokugawa Shoguns proved more successful at suppressing it than the even the Emperors of Rome.

Furthermore, to the point of how it resembles the tribal religions of pre-Christian Europe, we can even see it in the importing of Buddha. These sorts of belief systems don’t have the same hang ups over foreign Gods as Abrahamic faiths do, and much as the Cult of Isis (Egyptian mother goddess)...

That was back when Gainax gave him marching orders. Anno is a highly creative man and a masterful director of animation (mess of a story aside, EoE is a feast for the eyes), but he is utterly unfit to command. He's got completely the wrong temperament for it.

Probably both. Hideaki Anno is a very complicated individual. Not the most likable or able by the sounds of it either. According to interviews and what we know of its original production, NGE succeeded in spite of Anno, not because of him. There were a lot of other writers in the room back...

So I was having a look at one of Evangelion's most famous scenes (for the meme, you understand. This franchise is the bane of my existence) and looking through the comments...genuinely disturbed me. People are literally tripping over themselves not just to defend Shinji Ikari, but come across...

This is going to be utter chaos.

So I'm watching Princess Mononoke again (courtesy of Netflix), and a shower thought has struck me. Doesn't the existence of amputation as a medical procedure effectively crash and burn a good chunk of its plot?
