i get what you're getting at, but keep in mind that people enjoy different shit for different reasons. not everybody wants to or has to be looking for the underlying meaning behind stuff, especially in the case of something like eva where though you and i have our theories, a "real" interpretation is futile. japanese animation isn't always inherently deep and thought-provoking, and that's alright. if it entertains you, fuck it, enjoy. my lain DVDs are here next to my mazinger DVDs, and so on and so on. i'm not gonna tell anybody how to watch their cartoons.
