myth:evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion drapes its giant-robot apocalypse in the imagery of Kabbalah and scripture: the Tree of Life and its sephirot, Adam and Lilith, the 'Angels', the Dead Sea Scrolls — borrowed less as doctrine than as metaphor and mood, a parade of sacred quotation much like Star Trek's, laid over a story of trauma, creation, and the dread of other minds. — anime history
