I started that once and found it very hard to follow. Intriguing though, and I keep meaning to go back to it.
Oddly enough the thing I'm going to recommend for this thread is the work of Joel Bocko, whose website and general web presence, Lost in the Movies, is superb and really not well enough known IMO.
I mention it here because he's done quite a bit on Evangelion, so you might enjoy it :-)
Evangelion is not hard to follow. Itβs just a fucked up story about fucked up people hurting each other and then the world ends.
I found it pretty confusing, but I'll give it another go. I also have a slight suspicion that I might have accidentally dropped into the middle of the story rather than starting at the start.
It's actually an allegory about Adam & Eve and the creation mythos π The last episode of the Evangelion series is not the true last episode, there's actually a whole separate episode that goes over what really happens
