I've always loved apocalyptic stories and everything related to them, which is why I enjoyed Neon Genesis Evangelion so much and consider it an iconic tale that marked a turning point for the mecha genre in anime. It's not just about battles between giant robots and how to pilot them; it transcends into a profound psychological study of the characters, disguised as action. But this series? It's much more than it seems.
Siempre me han gustado las historias apocalรญpticas y todo lo relacionado con ellas, es por eso que Neon Genesis Evangelion me gustรณ tanto y la considero como una historia emblemรกtica que marca un antes y un despuรฉs del gรฉnero de Mechas en el mundo del animรฉ, porque no se basa nada mas en las peleas entre robots gigantes y cรณmo pilotear una cosa de esas sino que trasciende en un estudio psicolรณgico profundo de los personajes que se disfraza con acciรณn. ยฟPero esta serie? es mucho mรกs de lo que aparenta.
This anime tells the story of Shinji Ikari, a 14-year-old boy who is suddenly recruited by his absent father to pilot a giant robot, in this case, the Evangelion (EVA). But this isn't just any robot. I imagine many will wonder: why would a man want his son to pilot something so dangerous? Well, because they aren't meant to be piloted by just anyone. These robots and their technology allow them to psychologically bond with the pilot, forming a kind of symbiosis while being driven.
Este animรฉ cuenta la historia de Shinji Ikari, un chico adolescente de apenas 14 aรฑos de edad que lo recluta un padre ausente para que pilotee de repente un robot gigante, en este caso es lo que llaman el Evangelion (EVA). Pero este no es un robot cualquiera, imagino que muchos se preguntarรกn: ยฟpor quรฉ un seรฑor querrรญa que su hijo manejara algo tan peligroso? Pues porque no estรกn hechos para ser manejados por cualquier persona. Estos robots y su tecnologรญa les permite acoplarse psicolรณgicamente con el individuo, llegando a formar como una especie de simbiosis mientras se maneja.
At the beginning, the story shows this protagonist arriving at the military base with no idea what he'll be doing or how he'll be doing it. He's put on this machine and basically told, "Go see how you defend the city, since that's why we recruited you." This is how the story begins, with many missteps and insecurities, and the plot progresses, setting aside the action-packed battles between giant robots to focus on the issues these young protagonists face, such as their traumas, anxiety, depression, and many other emotions.
Y al principio la trama te muestra a este protagonista llegando a la base militar sin conocimiento alguno sobre lo que harรก ni cรณmo lo harรก. A รฉl lo embarcaron en esta mรกquina y le dijeron bรกsicamente "ve a ver cรณmo defiendes la ciudad, ya que para esto te reclutamos". Asรญ empieza esta historia, con muchos traspiรฉs e inseguridades, y la trama avanza dejando de lado las batallas cargadas de acciรณn entre robots gigantes para enfocarse en los problemas juveniles que presentan estos protagonistas jรณvenes, como sus traumas, la ansiedad, la depresiรณn y muchas emociones mรกs.
So the story doesn't focus on action and mecha battles, but rather delves deeper into drama, touching on existential themes like loneliness and individuality, as well as human fragility and the meaning of life. Furthermore, it incorporates a dark and philosophical religious element, referencing enigmatic Christian symbolism. Therefore, I consider Hideaki Anno's direction spectacular because it integrates human introspection with an artistic touch that has an experimental visual style to express the characters' mental state.
Asรญ que la historia no abarca acciรณn y peleas de Mechas sino que se profundiza mรกs en el drama, tocando temas existenciales como la soledad o la individualidad, asรญ como la fragilidad humana y el significado de la vida. Por otro lado, le agregan un toque religioso desarrollado de manera oscura y filosรณfica, haciendo referencias al simbolismo cristiano y enigmรกtico. Por lo tanto considero que la direcciรณn elaborada por Hideaki Anno es espectacular porque integra la instrospecciรณn humana con un toque artรญstico que tiene un tono visual experimental para expresar el estado mental de los personajes.
Furthermore, it also humanly developed its characters, with strengths and flaws that are present throughout the plot. Therefore, Evangelion is not just another mecha series, but a story about the will to persevere despite the constant fear. It's a story that inspires and motivates you to keep fighting against life's adversities. It's a tale of apprentice heroes who make mistakes trying to save the world and who are simultaneously affected mentally by the situations they experience, often losing control in their attempts to achieve the desired outcomeโthat is, success.
Ademรกs tambiรฉn desarrollรณ a sus personajes de manera humana, con fortalezas y defectos que se hacen presentes durante toda la trama. Por lo tanto, Evangelion no es una serie mรกs de Mechas sino una historia sobre la voluntad de seguir adelante con el miedo a flor de piel. Es una trama que te inspira y te motiva a continuar luchando ante las adversidades que te presente la vida. Es una historia de hรฉroes aprendices que cometen errores intentando salvar al mundo y que a la par se ven afectados mentalmente por las situaciones vividas en las cuales muchas veces se pierde el control para que todo salga como se esperaba, es decir, con รฉxito.
