I thought Eva was rubbish. Ohhh, Christian symbolism, how deep and mysterious and intelligent!
Tsurumaki: There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.
There we go, that's our hidden meaning for you. Episode 26 was pretty funny, though.
