For me, it really help me with some... struggles.

I was able to see more of the weak and dark side of humanity, and by that, my own humanity.

But something interesting happened to me, it was:

At first, Evangelion seemed too complex and too extreme to me... but after getting older and being more mature... I just realized that Evangelion its actually more easy to understand.

• I can understand Shinji (an overhated character by the fandom and many otakus)... because he represents the weakness and the scary side to use an Eva.

• Same goes to Asuka... she was just a human that suffered as Shinji or Misato did it.

I'm not able to remember everything right now hahaha

Have a good day/night!
