Also, btw, the funniest thing about EoE to me is the fact that all of the lore is literally and totally incomprehensible unless you do a deep dive into a bizarre Evangelion spin off RPG game for the PS2 that was never even released outside of Japan. Almost all of the Evangelion deep lore you see people discussing online comes directly from that. I'm certain that Anno came up with exactly none of it and has given the lore less thought than most fans have.
