"There is no inherent religious meaning; we put all the Christian symbolism in as a marketing gimmick."
So you mean to say that, in a show where a young boy spends his life suffering deeply, is given a mission by his father, a mission made possible by his mother (a woman who, as the show reminds us, did *nothing* wrong in her life), where his mission includes him killing Adam and becoming "the New Adam", and ends in his crucifixion, impalement with a spear, unbearable existential torment, and in which he decides to endure further suffering to give humanity a new birth; where the title is literally Latin(ish) for "The New Genesis Gospel"; in this show, not only was all this deep Christian theology a total accident, but its existing side by side with a smorgasboard of crosses and other random references to the Bible was a total coincidence?
By no means is NGE a completely Christian work; Gendo is hardly Christian God-like despite the parallels between him and the Trinitarian "Father", Shinji is not sinless, and so on, but there's too much actual theology deeply embedded in the theme for me to seriously believe it was all a total accident.
Thoughts? Is it possible that the details of Mariology, Trinitarianism, the Passion, and Christ's Redemption are common enough tropes that they could have sinked in by osmosis? Or is there a chance it really is this deep, and they've pulled some bizarre reverse-psychology stunt?

Worrying about whether they meant it or not doesn't really at that point, and that doesn't change because of a single quote said off-hand after the fact.
>>
I mean for Christ's (Shinji's?) sake, Fuyutsuki was a professor of "metaphysical biology" - he LITERALLY has a degree in the Catholic "Theology of the Body." How could the depth and implications of that have totally slipped by *everyone*?

No, but it's fun conversation fodder.

So apparently Lara Greyrat is now an archetypical shut-in mad scientist who sleeps in the lab and doesn't bother to dress properly.

Just finished KKOW,which is a much praised work, it was pretty good and really funny but it's sad how the relationship between Mitsuhashi and Riko never saw real progress. I mean, I know it's a gag manga but it had plenty of serious arcs so I didn't see why literally nothing happened between them in 366 chapters.

In the end it's pretty much consolidated that they're together so yeah that's a valid complaint that we would all have wanted more but it could've been worst, I mean, the manga didn't try to play it out like they were nothing in the end.

>>144180191
Oh, was that supposed to be Riko on that page? I was surprised that Mitsuhashi and Itou just randomly left to go to Hokkaido in the ending that I completely forgot about it.
I guess that's a better ending than just leaving it completely ambiguous, which I had thought was the case.
