Neon Genesis Evangelion Gifset Series - PARENTHOOD

“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent’s heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.” (x)

Neon Genesis Evangelion Gifset Series - FRIENDSHIPS

Evangelion’s one of those rare television shows that gives you an honest glimpse into how friendship plays across a variety of different dimensions – childhood, adulthood, new, old, female-female, male-male, female-male, and everything else in-between – with such subtle and faithful realism. Not all of these friendships last forever (for a whole host of different reasons) but it’s all the more true to life in that regard.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Gifset Series: ADULTHOOD

“When you are an adult… then comes suspicion, hatred, and fear. Adults run the world; and there is war, and enmity, and destruction unending. Adults who take charge of things muck them up, and then produce a new generation of children and say, "The children are the hope of the future.” And they are right. Children are the hope of the future. […] Adults are the death of hope.” [x]
