Ok I don't go on Sup Forums at all, but I just had to post this story
>Watch Akira >It's amazing >want to see more anime >get recced Neon Genesis Evangellion >watch it >It's boring mechs >It turns into pretentious drivel that uses imagery of Christianity to look cool but fails >cringing throughout it
Why does so many anime that uses Christianity or any other religion in its themes a cringefest, Sup Forums? Can't any of them get it right and not make it to where it's like a dumb DBZ power fantasy?

Bible Black is one anime that handles Christian theology really well.

Akira was also pretentious drivel.
Josiah Turner
It was just 2deep4u
Oliver Smith
Akira wasnt nearly as pretentious and sometimes plain stupid as Evangelion though.

Now go watch Ghost in The Shell, Serial Experiments Lain and Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Chase Morgan
Yes it was.
Josiah Perry
Cuz Christianity is foreign and exotic. Thats it.

Here it goes again. fucking simpletons ruining our board like always
user. Sure most of the christian symbolism means nothing. But who the fuck cares?
It's like shitting on Akira, because that transformation looked disgusting.
> pretentious drivel
There we have it. It's literally 2deep4you.
One question of..."kinda but not super deep" shit.
Do you know, why Asuka reacted the way she did at the very last scene? I don't mean the voice line or Shinjis action. I mean Asukas gesture, that stopped Shinji

How's the imagery not cool? There's giant white monster thing with little legs sprouting out of it in the basement nailed to a huge red cross in a sea of orange stuff and that's not cool because "ugh, christianity"
Adrian Lee

I mean it's still technically on-topic even if "Wahh, I hate Eva" is a thread that gets made 20 times a day, every day.
