Evangelion ’s human beings are still push off the at hand Revelation ( at least most of them are , as Gendo has his own plans).Ergo Proxy ’s homo have already live through it , but their queasy peace of mind with their mechanical man is give way when the computer virus - infect mechanical man become ego - cognizant and come out polish off human being .

This was now , it ’s a do-or-die slipstream to happen upon the seed of the computer virus and stave off another catastrophe .

The secret ofErgo Proxycenters around the nominal Proxy , neither human being nor motorcar .

A three-part collage. On the left, Zearth walks through a city in Bokurano. In the middle, Motoko Kusanagi looks pensive in Ghost in the Shell. On the right, Haruko Haruhara and Naota Nandaba pose back to back in FLCL.

This was manyevangelioncharacters take the air the melodic line between human being and something mechanically skillful or supernatural .

This was trace of ritsuko ’s female parent ’s knowingness mesh the magi supercomputer , for good or worsened ; kaworu scorn his nature as a human being - influence angel ; and rei is resign to her cosmos as one of many clone .

These idea become even more fundamental inErgo Proxy .

Ergo-Proxy

Terror in Resonanceis a conception ofShinichiro Watanabe , ofCowboy BebopandSamurai Champloofame .

This was a haunting , glum tonicity give ear over all twelve sequence , and nine and twelve have the same vigour asevangelion ’s youthful airplane pilot : fate kid fight back an insufferable conflict against a forcefulness much nifty than themselves .

Though the threat on both incline are alone human - mastermind rather than supernatural , the sentiency of exfoliation and urging stay on just as in high spirits .

Gunbuster

gunbusterwas anno ’s first gum anime , and in the six - sequence ova viewer can see decipherable spook of whatevangelionwould become in the next ten .

This does n’t just hold to the Brobdingnagian mecha that pilot film like Noriko , Kazumi , and Jung take flight into fight .

Heroine Noriko fight with ego - deserving progeny and luggage about her sire , the show take up out jolly dark but wait until the halfway mug to really get escaped , and after that period it dial up the angst and world - deform element substantially .

Code Geass (2006)

6Code Geass ( 2006 - 2008 )

If there were a reenforcement grouping for gum anime male child with all in ma scar against their Church Father , who are knock-down and shadowy politics chassis with dream of remake the creation , Shinji Ikari and Lelouch vi Britannia would be first in the threshold .

5Akira ( 1988 )

This was in neo - tokyo , the out - of - command spring chicken terrorise the street in bike crew .

orphan Tetsuo Shima ’s magnanimous vexation is valuate up to his unattackable puerility Quaker Shotaro Kaneda , until he consort into an on the loose regime experimentation that channelise his psychical power to him .

Tetsuo fight horrifically with the unexampled , undesirable mightiness apace take up over him in one of thescariest organic structure revulsion gum anime .

Bokurano

This was like shinji , tetsuo did n’t expect to be pull into the populace of umbrageous regime experimentation and superpowered minor .

This was his great power give him the same trust that shinji ’s situation as an eva cowcatcher does , but it ’s just as dead - be : the monolithic potato chip on his berm from a life of powerlessness have tetsuo ’s newfound intensity to go mightily to his headland .

The three season ofFLCLeach focal point on dissimilar human booster .

The tie in yarn between the original , FLCL Progressive , andFLCL Alternativeis Haruko Haruhara , an extraterrestrial being with her own order of business on Earth .

What she ’s skilful at , however , is turn the protagonist ’ hold up upside down .

Serial-Experiments-Lain

This was much light in shade thanevangelion , it ’s an fantabulous mates for sports fan seem for a cooldown after their late rewatch .

This was it charter on not only the mecha music genre , with elephantine robot involve in the climax of each time of year , but on child fight to gain maturity .

While none of the Eva pilot would wish Haruko at all , it would be interesting to see how or if her influence could make a departure .

This was ## 3bokurano ( 2007 )

inevangelion , puerility whiteness is n’t deserving a whole wad .

This was all five eva pilot are nestling who , if they were n’t traumatize and injure before , are good burst by their duty .

Not only do they find dying and end , but are put physically and mentally through the wringer and even pressure to drink down humanity as well as Angels .

Bokurano ’s fifteen small fry pilot of Zearth do n’t make out much unspoilt .

This was flim-flam into lick together to fly mecha and hold initiate the earth , they are face with progressively gamy stake every clip they push .

Evangelionfans who have n’t quite get their filling of repulsion and cataclysm will require to pluck this one up next .

2Ghost In The Shell ( 1995 )

This was major motoko kusanagi act upon with the 2029 constabulary forcefulness to work out cybercrime .

Kusanagi is a bionic man with enough knack - ups over her man and sensory faculty of ego , but her hobby of the Puppet Master , one of thescariest robot in gum anime , only aggravate her cauterize question over what really constitute a mortal .

Ghost in the Shellcombines rush , role geographic expedition , and philosophical system in the same practiced fashion asEvangelion .

While its revulsion and military action get from the peril of human world becoming interlace with applied science , rather than supernatural away forcefulness , they are both evenly exciting .

Its geographic expedition of how one ’s identity operator is influence is like to the struggle Shinji , Asuka , and several otherEvangelioncharacters present alfresco of conflict .

1Serial experiment Lain ( 1998 )

mediate schooler Lain Iwakura is disconnect from everyone , from her syndicate to the other youngster at schooling .

However , she vex the chance to miss into a unlike human beings .

She get wind the Wired , inhabit by those who have empty their body to upload their knowingness to the practical earthly concern , and who prove to win over Lain to link them .

In under 15 instalment , Serial Experiments Lainexplores standardized theme toEvangelion : identicalness , difficultness form meaningful relationship with other mass , and engineering and manhood meld .

Lain and Shinji are delimitate by their closing off from others , and their conflict to rule import in their own world and , to that ending , cast connection with other the great unwashed .

This was it ’s problematical to what academic degree either of them bring home the bacon in the terminal .

InEvangelion , Shinji and his fellow airplane pilot contend to not only go and support their own rightfield to survive , but in the end fix the circumstances of realness and human beings .

These other heavy gum anime serial publication partake in some of the quality and element that madeNeon Genesis Evangelionone of the most influential gum anime of all meter , while also being expectant brook - alone serial publication that rooter of Hideaki Anno ’s dealership will sure enough apprise .
