Summary Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most popular anime-original series of all time, but its success took creator Hideaki Anno somewhat by surprise. What Anno worried might be the series' downfall actually turned out to be one of its most appealing features, and it's directly tied into the themes of Evangelion.
In fact, Anno's expression in response to the series' success really captures what made the series so unique for its time. Oftentimes, characters in anime and manga are shockingly well-adjusted for the life situations that they've lived through, but that's certainly not the case in Evangelion. Characters like Shinji and Asuka have had to deal with issues like parental neglect and abandonment, and it shows in their behaviors and responses to situations.
