GITM 40: Evangelion - Absurdity & Meaning | An Analysis
from Get In The Mecha
With my second watch of Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) nearing completion, I thought that I could confidently say that I had a 'decent' understanding of the series... until I began to research the Absurdist philosophy behind it. Albert Camus' extensive discourse on The Absurd has definitely challenged what I understand of the series, potentially my perception of all the works in the medium and art as a whole. In this episode, I discuss my understanding of Camusian Absurdism and the connection it has to the conclusion of Anno's work, in order to answer the question of whether Evangelion truly 'makes sense'.
