This is an allegory to Adam and Eve, right ? They've just been cast down from heaven.

Yes

B-but anno said the symbolism doesn't mena anything
Juan Morgan
This board'll hate you for saying it's to do with Genesis. Shinji choosing to be cast down from heaven (instrumentality) to be with Asuka is younger Anno choosing to accept the world as it is and live in spite of his depression, because it's better to feel both good and bad emotion than to sink into total apathy & resignation.
Y'see it's cool to say it's "deep" waifubait in a psychological sense, but talking about religious subtext is pretentious. I'll forgive you this time, but don't make that mistake again.

Seman weeb-mina-san, next time i'll try not to hurt your kimochis
Grayson Wood
He lied. In the 1990s, there was a Jack Thompson-type moral panic over anime. Many people in Japan thought anime led people to embrace cults. Anno was simply covering his ass by saying "It doesn't mean anything lmao."
Ryder Perry
Of course it meant something, anno went to art school, he's no hack.
Evan Reyes
Holy shit would you christfags fuck off already? This argument is over. The religious stuff in eva is mostly used for surface level visuals on purpose. Thats it.
Alexander Brown
Lol, I'm not even a christiam but the symbolism in Eva is clear as day.
Joshua Parker
No it's not.
By your retarded interpretation, the cross is there to represent Gendo's grief translating into his insane quest to sacrifice the world, ascend into higher-life and become one with god, a parallel to Christ sacrificing his own mortal form to allow humanity to know salvation and afterlife in Yahweh as he envisioned.
When it's obviously just there because it looks hella cool.
Xavier King
the symbolism doesn't mean anything, Anno said so himself, it was only for coolness, Eva-niggers are still trying to deny reality as seen ITT.

Exactly
Henry Thomas
No. you faggots would find symbolism in the shape of shinji's cock if anno inserted a scene of it for lols
Nathaniel Ross
Fuck off with your pseudo intelligent bullshit, Evangelion is a cool mecha anime with cool fight scenes, it's not a deep and intelligent retelling of the bible
Bentley Powell
You seriously think that this wasn't intentional
Charles James
full brain capacity reached with this one boss
Xavier Morgan
>tumblr
lol
Isaiah Green
kinda. it's more of "I reject instrumentality/I decide to eat the frobidden fruit" rather than them being cast out
at least I think. it's not especially clear why shinji escapes instrumentality and we never see asuka's pov at all
Jonathan Hughes
shinji is a bodhisattva, evangelion is buddheo gnostic
Jayden Torres
Nope, no religious symbolism here. Just a cool mech anime with cool fight scenes.

>This is an allegory to Adam and Eve, right ? They've just been cast down from heaven.
but adam and eve are already allegories. It's all just looping back to our world and real life and our perception of it
