Everything tried to copy eva most famously Rahxephon.
Cel anime thread
Except Tomino repeatedly said he hated everything about Evangelion, and that if you actually watch Brain Powered there's fuck all similar to Eva except bad parents.
Tomino is just buttmad that Anno did DEEP better than he ever could so he pretends like Brain Powerd wasn't trying to be like it.
Or you know, Tomino could just hate evangelion, considering he already did Ideon which covered some of Evangelina's themes in a much better manner.
>Ideon
>covering Eva's themes
>better
Confirmed for not even seeing Ideon.
The show itself is barely a 4/10 series. It starts exciting, but gets bumfuck stupid and all the characters act like complete retards for the next 40 episodes and then it ends on a dud.
Sure, Be Invoked was good. But not the series in the slightest.
I used to love cel animation til it got me sick in the stomach with nostalgia. I keep up with the latest to keep telling myself to move on with the times. The old stuff comes back in retrospect eventually with new technology.
And Evangelion took it's themes, took a sledgehammer and then tried to ram them down your throat with a crassly individualistic lens.
And yet 99.9% of people, especially /m/, completely miss every single one of them.
>hurr I'm going to completely ignore the structuralist components of everything and worship personal experience: the anime
