Another out-of-season Christmas post, but it does fit with this month's community theme.

Evangelion's Asuka on learning Japanese
Mar. 16th, 2020 07:54 pmalicemacher
So I was thinking recently of posting from the main Neon Genesis Evangelion manga (the one that began as a promotion for the anime and, while covering basically the same story, ended up taking it in rather different directions). But in troubling times like these, I feel we could all use less angst (even well-written and drawn angst) and more lightheartedness. To that end: a one-page bonus chapter from the parody manga Tony Takezaki's Neon Genesis Evangelion (tr. Carl Gustav Horn, Dark Horse, 2015). Read right to left.

Evangelion: Ritsuko Akagi's Death (2/2)
Dec. 20th, 2011 05:54 pmwonderwomanheroIn my last post, we saw the breakdown of one of the many Evangelion characters: Ritsuko Akagi. But what will become of her now?

wonderwomanheroA while back, some of you may remember this post (Oh what was I thinking with the Plath comment...)
Well, that being said, that post was about the character of Naoko Akagi, mother to scientist Ritsuko Akagi, one of the (sorta) main characters on Evangelion. Ritsuko's case is an interesting one, she's sort of a main character, and she sort of isn't. Obviously the five main characters would be Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato, and Kaworu, and then we have Ritsuko and Gendo. (and now meganeko Mari in the Rebuild franchise)
In 1996, after Evangelion ended, Hideaki Anno started to receive death threats from fans due to the unexpected finale that was episode 25/26. Anno was only able to complete it using the budget they had, and it wasn't helped that a few GAINAX employees were found to be embezzling money...still, Anno created the full length feature film End of Evangelion in 1997. While the final two episodes reflected what went on in the characters subconscious, EoE reflected what went on in the physical world. The film was a success, although shocked many, and the manga version of it I'm afraid, isn't much of a happy stroll through merry land either. This post will focus on Ritsuko Akagi, and her downfall and eventual (you guessed it) death.
