>So, I remember telling [Anno] a story about the time of my adolescence. When I was 14 or 15 years old, I was truly in despair, thinking my life prospects were very bleak. With tests and such things, I had the feeling that I was not permitted even a slight failure. Today it seems like even failures receive attention, or that there is freedom to be “dame,” but at that time it seemed that you would have no future after failing even once. Up until the 70s there was the anpo toso, but when that ended, an atmosphere – “ah, as we suspected, you can’t revolutionize the world” – began to spread.

>So, I thought that I would be dead before I was twenty years old, and any life I lived beyond that would be a kind of omake – that was the story I told [to Anno]. Probably, just the fact that I was able to tell that story was of value to both of us.

>Beyond that, Anno-san loved Sailor Moon and told me he wanted to make a similarly enjoyable work. I wonder if an aftershock had occured when this consciousness that was moving towards the pursuit of realism – a science fiction-like world setting, the details of machines, and so on – came into contact with a work like Sailor Moon.

>Maybe that was a period where something like the pleasure of an ordinarily enjoyable anime seemed novel to Anno-san. My own impression of Anno-san is a feeling like he’s not human. He’s big, hunches over, and seems to resemble an Evangelion. [For example,] often he’s had a utility knife, and cried out “Yah!” as he slid the blade out (laughs).

>He’s ordered to come back by his father, he’s slapped by Ayanami, he’s called stupid by Asuka, he’s yelled at to straighten up by Misato… Shinji doesn’t recieve much affirmation from others. I think, in this situation, the only one who tells him that he’s fine just the way he is is Kaworu. “You don’t have to try to so hard.”

>Perhaps because of that, after Kaworu appeared, the girls who had been watching Eva and who found it interesting but didn’t feel the kind of enthusiasm that the boys felt about it were able to finally connect emotionally with Shinji. Perhaps because of that everyone loves Kaworu. Hm? Have I ever said to anyone, “you’re fine just the way you are”? Isn’t that something I’m always saying?

I wish Anno followed Iku-chan advice. The butthurt would continue after 20 years

Not really. Only the meaningless symbolism. According to Tsurumaki, if they knew the show would become popular on the west, they would choose another theme. I think that would be a huge mistake. A reason for Eva's impact on the west was that it was "satanic" and it came during the 90s, when everything had to be EXTREEEMMMEEEE and being anti-authoritarian was cool. Considering how much evafags hate Eva and like to focus on the Kabbalah symbols, along with the waifus, it was the right choice despite the staff didn't know it

>>161355245
this is why Doom was such a hit back then

>>161355245
most meaningfull and actually deep symbolism and stuff in Eva comes not from religious inspired elements but from psychologycal and philosophical concepts and theories which were put to great use to create one of the most human characters in fiction. so maybe that's why Eva resonated with people it did on the west as well.

>>161355686
To be fair, the fans tend to hate the psychological stuff. The nips can relate to because the lost decade but westerners think existentialial crisis is for pussies

>>161355686

>westerners think existentialial crisis is for pussies
Don't speak for everyone. Besides, western literary and entertainment canon is rather rich with works of art that deal exacly with questions of existential nature, especially in Sci-fi (e. g. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, any other book, show, movie or game that juxtapose humans with, say, different form of sentient life such as extraterrestrials or cybors, whose nature rivals or outright disproves our notions of the universe, existance, etc. usually throught the characters, who, confronted with such things are first confused and "lost", then statrs questioning their most basic, established, and thought-to-be-truth concepts, reevaluate them, and then at the end after going through this whole experience that is the plot learned something new about the universe, themselves etc. and thew away the now incompatable with learned truth previous notions. Sounds like existentionalism to me.
There are of cource those who think that but they are wrong, also possibly incsecure about smth.
>>161355910
>I think it owes its popularity more to the waifus and cool robots
I think that if when asked a similar to Eva anime people point you to, say, Code Geass or Gundam, or aldnoah zero i'd say that their opinion on this in particular shoudn't be held in high regard.
But i'm not going to tell them what and how should they watch enjoy, just ingoring them should be enough.
Unless of cource they're being insufferable canser as they often can be, then that might be a problem to be delt with or ,once again, ingored.

When I said westerners, I mean weeaboos. Most weeaboos never read a book and murricans in general believe reading is for faggots unless it's LN-tier shit like Harry Potter and Twilight

>I think Iku-chan was turned off when he saw the concepts for Kaworu, whose hair had the same fop that Ikuhara does and was described as honey-colored.
i don't this he was tunred off by that at all, if anything i think he probably was flattered.

Did any scans of Anno's Ikuhara doujin ever come to light?

Who the fuck draws a doujin of his colleague, anyway?

Western anime fans, you mean. There are psychological Western TV shows and movies. Anime reaches a generally young demographic (i.e. 12-22 year olds) in the West who do not yet have the brain development or patience to enjoy anything that's too deep. They'd rather feel smart for watching and understanding something like Ellen Lied, which is about as deep as a puddle of piss.
