you could at least try to understand what’s happening through a quick google search, like I didn’t understand everything initially but I’m still able to appreciate it for what it is and what it intended to accomplish

yeah, basically

But the interesting part are the implications and the characters mental development.
what led them to do what they did, what their intent was and how much they where willing to loose/gain.

if you don't like that type of story then it's ok, it's your taste.

but if you want to make an effort to understand what you just watch think about that or just watch a shonnen lol

It's not inferior intellect.

Anyway, Evangelion doesn't resolve some super ingenious and extremely convoluted plot on Genesis and Neon Genesis.

It revolves around Shinji and his development.

There is no need to like a show cause it's popular and there is also no need to rationalize either liking or disliking it. In the end, Evangelion has its own flaws.

people have been speculating on what Evangelion means for decades. But the truth is it doesn't mean anything. All the symbolism was just tossed in there to make it look smart. Don't strain yourself trying to figure it out.

Ending is about Neon Genesis..... In other terms, birth of a new age, which was literally depicted in the show.

Metaphorically, it refers to Shinji's new view point of the world. Escapism won't to lead to anything good and neither does colluding yourself in temporary joy. Shutting yourself up in room and hoping that only you alone are in this world would only make you lose meaning in yourself and your individualism. All you have to do is act upon what you have given and see the hope that it bring within it.

I am not even gonna go into any other symbolisms... To me, they are not important.

Not really,The budget was,indeed,depleted,but the ending to the 1st series was Hideaki Ano's real approach.EoE was made solely for those fans who were discontent with og ending and sent ano death threats.(and it unironically was more confusing)

Well atleast they are not as terrible as demon slayer or mirai nikki which you seem to like.

Deep shows are considered 'deep' because only ppl with real taste can enjoy them and you are in the minority.

and these same people will go out of their way to piss off the fandom.

You didn't like the movie...good for you. No need to tell that to us.

The simplest explanation for the Evangelion series in general is that it is all a metaphor for having sex.

Once you figure that out, everything clicks lmaooooo.

Are you serious? Religious symbolism was kinda random maybe, but all the psychology and philosophy were definitely not, and the whole series has been studied and analyzed a lot of times since its release. So no, there's no such "truth" and it's definitely not random, Evangelion is a masterpiece that smooth brains won't understand.

People should just admit that they're dumb instead of criticizing something because they don't get it. There are plenty of analysis on Evangelion, and everything is explained.

No need to be an ass about it.
-Seele decides to get rid of NERV
-A lot of characters die
-Third impact starts and everyone turns into LCL
-Shinji has given up in life by this point, so he initially agrees with human instrumentality.
-The rest of the characters talk to him in similar fashion to the last 2 episodes of the show
-Shinji realizes that despite hardships, life is worth living and rejects instrumentality (pretty much the point of the movie, despite what many fanboys and haters who care too much about symbolism say)
-Now everyone on earth can choose to come back to life, so Shinji and Asuka appear on an island
-The meaning behind their last interaction is up to you
That's it.

I'm so sick of this shitty take. "The symbolism is purely aesthetic so the whole show is meaningless"
Pay attention for once in your life, the show is pretty direct about it.

lol people still believe this meme, the symbolism in End of evangelion is closely tied to kabbalah and too similar for it to be a coincidence, here's a good video on it
