| Changed the way people and the industry think about masturbation scenes. |
 |
| Still, FGAU, I think the OP means -though probably what you mean as well- the cultural influence, what NGE brought that could be considered fresh or new and how it changed the content in the industry. For instance with Rei clones, genre deconstructions, influence on later psychological manga/anime... |

| Jacking off to comatose girls is A-Ok. |
| Like, every studio made a ripoff of it, like Rahxephon and Zegapain and just about any post-Eva mecha. It also influenced Puella a lot. And it gave us the emotionless girls with light purple/blue hair archetype. |

| To understand how it impacted the commercial japanese animation you can approach it on three levels : 1- Artistic level : Evangelion showed for the first time that TV animation can tell a truly dense story for adults, in terms of plot (rather complex) and themes (psychology, politics etc..), all packed with innovative directing (composition, camera angles, silent scenes) Many series were influenced (sometimes heavily) by Eva immediately after 1995 in areas like designs or by proposing more daring and thought-provoking writing and directing (Utena, Lain, Boogiepop Phantom are successful examples) 2- Commertial/Industrial level : the scale of merchandising and the number of tie-in products were unseen since Gundam. 3- Fandom level : . No other series has been subject of discussions by otaku like Eva and it has constructed around itself one of the largest and active fandoms. Discussions about element in the plot never ended since 1995 even before the announcement of the new movies. |
| How did Evangelion impact the industry? It didn't. Not even close. |
| Gave us Tsunderes and Danderes |

| It gave birth to the "deep anime" movement. Also the "pretentious" anime movement, enhanced the "tsundere" anime movement, and of course, the "F***ed up anime" movement. |

| Rei Ayanami clones everywhere.Though I think nowadays people refer to them as Yuki Nagato clones. Also, the Gendo pose. Thats all I've got. |
| It was what first got me into anime when it came out. Biggest impact right there bro. |

| It shattered the preconceived notions of what an animated series could portray and how it could portray it; Evangelion is an allegory, a deconstruction, and an existentialist piece of art among other things. No anime had even come close to attempting these kinds of things before. Tag on the iconic OP, the unintentional creation of several modern day character tropes like tsundere (Asuka) and emotionless dolls (Rei) among other things and you have yourself the most influential anime of all time. Haters gonna hate, but it is irrefutable that Eva did incredible things for the anime industry. |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| Eva didn't create the tsundere archetype it merely took a spin on it with how psychologically broken a person with such a personality might be. Also for those saying it started the 2deep4u movement keep in mind the GitS movie came out the same year. |

| Well, if not NGE, then what? I can't really name a show before 95 that would have added some variety to a niche form of entertainment at the time. I mean, who would know if Cowboy Bebop or Perfect Blue would have come along as we all know them if NGE didn't lay down the groundwork? Like, what are the odds of having shows that get into more than just power fantasy and robots if NGE didn't become a hit? |
 |
| Uh...well, it provided a polarized topic for people to argue incessantly over meaningless symbolism, unfinished story elements, and psychobabble. It also provided a flawed concept for later shows to do better. |

| NGE layed off the groundwork? wat? Gunbuster did that years ago. There might be shows even before that with similar themes I'm not aware of though. |

| Evangelion was also a character driven anime as opposed to being plot driven anime much its 'successor' Madoka. That is not to say other mecha didn't have character development but it focused less on the mechs and more the people behind them. |
