Evangelion takes a lot of references and imagery from religion, from Christianity to Judaism what with stuff like angels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Adam and Lilith, etc, but I honestly think it's a reach to directly connect it to Nazism and antisemitism. Japan was on the side of the Nazis during WWII and never actually apologized for their atrocities, but would that have shown up so blatantly in their media? I'm not sure. The official media of her in Nazi uniform when she was born in the 21st century is really baffling to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 years ago* Many people in Japan have no idea who Hitler even was.
