Evangelion A New Mythology? (PART 1) All Star Superman

Many of us have wondered as an animation such as Eva has given so much to talk over the years and also has much material to draw from. For many who have never seen Eva or just do not do any attention or are new (and see their ninjas oranges) do not give credence to this work of Mr. Hideaki Anno. Evangelion Personalmentecreó that will be the most controvercial saga ever made in the Anime. No series has succeeded in creating the level of discussion that has achieved this.

Many will see this story as a simple series of giant robots, many others have detailed that you will see that this is only the tip of the mountain as the background social and psychological it has unleashed thousands of ramblings about why and how of life.

I do not see much need to detail the center of the story of Eve but we have to get off in the world, so you can more easily enter the central theme.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (Shin Seiki Evangerion) is a successful Japanese animation series for television, who was born in 1995. His script and direction was given by general Hideaki Anno and produced by Gainax .

Your futuristic scenario is developed in 2015, fifteen years after the Second Impact caused by a meteorite that ended the lives of more than half terraqueous population.

Humanity must recover from this disaster ... Tokyo 3-1 civilian city, militarized, located in the regions of destruction-free Japan is suddenly attacked by strange monsters called Angeles. mundane weapons are useless against these creatures, and the only known defense is capable of coping mecha biomechanical created by the paramilitary organization NERV .

These units are called Evas. The series presents an insightful analysis of the main characters, especially his protagonist, Shinji Ikari .

You want to add a very important, the focus of the post lies in putting on the table, an analysis is Evangelion may be one or sub-Mythology Mythology, but in reality this would thank Mr. Hideki Anno. A man who reminds me of Gundam creator Tomino, since in both cases their series is deeply rooted in the emotional moment. You both have curiously a strange fascination for the occult and religious, maybe as a means of escape from their emotional decayed.

The creator and director of this prestigious anime, Hideaki Anno, suffered a long period of depression prior to creating Evangelion. Many elements derived from the series are based on their biographical experiences, are shown states of depression and echoes of psychoanalytic theories Hideaki learned from his psychotherapy.

As a result of these particulars, the anime characters exhibit a variety of disorders and problems that combine humor with emotional health, but their focus is depression, trauma and anxiety disorders.



Evangelion consists of 26 television episodes that were exhibited for the first time by TV Tokyo. Aired on October 4, 1995 and ended on March 27, 1996. Then came two movies called Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion.

Both films were later reprinted and re-released as a single film called Rebirth of Evangelion in 1998. Two additional DVDs containing the final original episodes of the series and the Special Edition Director's Cut of Episodes 21, 22, 23 and 24. (mostly new scenes and some that were censored in the original version, we also have every episode who managed to acquire the DVD's commentary Anno throughout each episode (which are very interesting).


"Death and Rebirth" reworked sequences of the series, while the "End of Evangelion" is an extension of episode 26, intended as an alternate ending of the series. Now as many know is make a new series of OVA these come to give you a change to significantly improving the animation history and also some much welcome your characters denote better growth and even to the outbursts of psychotic disorder and depression, giving a fresh look at where each character does evolve. Recalling that for this new release a new story with a new ending in the fourth installment (this year we look forward to the 3 Ova).

After this brief summary we go to the subject matter.

Neon Genesis Evangelion While it is a series where A gency NERV (during the year 2015) protects humanity using the mysterious mecha known "EVA" of mysterious attackers called "angels" his big issue is in the words of its creators, "The heart of the people" . But this argument appears in a science fiction mixed with a certain religious background and jargon of psychotherapy.

Clearly this has caused great questions from viewers. In fact, it takes nothing more than glance at the websites of the fans to see speculation about many aspects of the series, is on the agenda.

And really, sometimes the story itself is difficult to follow. Where do we think the confusion comes from? . Well not be familiar with many of the crucial elements of the story. Indeed, the angels of which EVA defend us, have little to do with the tradition of Judeo-Christian . The same goes for Adam , the being to whom the angels must reach for probably cause the extinction of mankind, or with Lilith, the mysterious giant under the barracks Nerv. It is difficult to understand the role they play in the series if we do not know, more or less, who they are. Y. .. what, or who are they?

Hideaki Anno, creator and director of the series, appropriates some esoteric elements present in traditions such as Christianity and Judaism, but not only them, to tell his story.

From them, change certain aspects, adding some data, combined others, and so on. The result will be a new mythology (or that's the idea), with the peculiarity of having been conceived at the end of a century by other problematic. Then it becomes necessary for the fan, and relevant for the curious, to clarify the new meaning in Evangelion, adopting the old names. For this we have a booklet, known as Red Cross Book. This is a glossary that was sold in the halls of Japan when the movie premiered The End of Evangelion in 1997 and recently in New Eggs. He will send us to distinguish the ancient mythologies of the new introduced by Hideaki Anno. The following are some of those changes.

:: Angels::

According to Red Cross Book , angels are beings originated source of all life forms. The source is known as Lilith . can be any size and shape, as small as a bacterium or intangible as a shadow . Kozue Fuyutsuki (second in the chain of command of the agency NERV) said that the angels are the fruit of life, while humans are the result of intelligence. It can be said to be another form of human beings. Also, the man is considered the 18 º of angels invaders.

For its part, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, (approved and promulgated by John Paul II in 1997) refers to the angels, also called "sons of God" , as purely spiritual creatures, immortals, more perfect than all visible creatures with intelligence and will. That is personal. They are servants and messengers of God's saving plan, created by and for Him, guide, as protectors and pastors, to all the faithful from his birth until his death.

On the side of the Jewish tradition, angels are also called "sons of God" , but some scholars say that in the older sagas are a kind of heavenly court. Believe that this survives in the use of first person plural in certain passages of the Bible, God refer to himself or in cases, such as Psalm 82. 1-7, where God appears in a meeting with gods, "sons of God." later elsewhere, lost the divine nature and will only messengers and servants of one God.

However, neither in the Christian dogma, nor in the Jewish tradition, angels are sagas where arising out of Lilith and have a very intimate relationship with humans. In addition, in Genesis 3. 20 is explicit that mother of all living is Eva , such is the meaning of his name. Thus we Evangelion, an original and novel characterization of the angels.

:: Adam::

According to Genesis, Adam is the man that God created the sixth day. It was made in His image and likeness, the dust of the earth to which he breathed the breath of life.

For its part, the Red Cross Book says is the first angel. The giant of light located in Antarctica. Apparently, have awakened to the fact what caused the Second Impact , catastrophe on a planetary scale that originated at the South Pole that would cause the disappearance of nearly half the world population. He was then reduced to the status of the embryo and taken to Japan from Germany Kaji (Japanese government agent infiltrated NERV).

That Adam is an angel is a new connection, since neither dogma nor in the Apocrypha appears that gender identification. Being a giant is also something new. While in Genesis 6. 1-4 speak of giants who inhabited the land, makes it clear that Adam was not one of them, because the giants were born of sexual intercourse among daughters of men and the children of God (according to the First Book of Enoch the Ethiopian these "sons of God" are certain angels who are then considered fallen).

The story of the giants appears better developed in one of the books Enoch among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

There that before the flood, men and angels interact freely, so freely that some of them had children with human women. The offspring of this unnatural union were giants, who with the angels that had engendered, was spent on land purchase.

Now let's get this up here in the post we will detail siquiente more items in the series, before we make a point, no mythology as such has been created out of nothing, but part of other past or join, this is how the Romans adopted the Greek Mythology adding details or significant changes, another example is how the Judeo-Christian Religion was influenced by Babylonian on many items including angels.

Now before throwing knives and flames, I'm not saying that Anno created a mythology that easy, but the interesting thing is how does something similar.
