That first recommendation is interesting ive seen lots of stories where villains turn good or heros turn evil, but i wonder if there is a series where slowly as they progress that hero and villain of the story switches midway after crossing some moral event horizon

[@Ash_Wen-li]

Anno's biggest inspiration for Evangelion was Space Runaway Ideon. It was created by Tomino, the creator of Gundam and he once said in an interview it was the show he was most proud of making. Also the movie for Ideon which caps off the series is just as shocking and mindblowing as End of Evangelion in its own way

[@inisipisTV]

True, but Anno and company were also add many elements from things they love. The Evas are design and elements were inspired by Ultra-man and the God-Warrior from Nausicaa. The emblematic elements of War, Machines and Child soldiers from the original Gundam. Elements from Space Battleship Yamato, Lupin 3rd and the James Bond series. That's the fun thing about the original Gainax group. It was founded by Fans, Film nerds.

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

I always liked how Last Exile rummaged the gravesites of Galaxy Express and Dune.

[@TroySpace]

Anno and co. also had clear inspiration from the UFO series as well.

[@TrevRockOne]

Though Ideon is a huge influence, Gundam is an even bigger one. Shinji's arc is totally modelled on Amuro's.

[@troloinkto]

​@@inisipisTV The very first sketch for the Eva 01 was literally the Getter robo, Eva was truly an homage to a Lot of franchises, it's sad that most of the fandom don't know about that and think that it's about the bible or something, Even the original japanese name "Shin seiki Evangelion" was a reference to the event that changed anime, before the premiere of the first Gundam movie

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

That list of hidden gem underrated anime is pretty hilarious. Anime fandom, at least western English speaking anime fandom has like some form of collective short term memory it feels like. Like almost every one of those shows listed there in that Google search was some hugely popular thing when they came out that was very much talked about. Some of them were huge. Detroit Metal City wasn’t. But Space Dandy was. Tiger and Bunny was. Death Note was. Bleach was. Welcome to the NHK was. Attack on Titan was like the biggest anime around just a few years ago. That list is almost like it in 15 to 20 someone was like: Hey, you ever hear of this movie called Barbie, there’s some other little underrated gems...Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Dune. It’s very weird to see this happen with anime fandom. Modern anime fandom has grown so uncurious in the last, maybe 15 years, that somehow the pre Toonami era of stuff we had in America (Tatsunoko shows, ‘80s and ‘90s movies and OVAs, that Wizard of Oz anime that felt like a World Masterpiece Theater series) that played on television has seemingly even fallen by the wayside outside of Ghibli. The main appeal of anime in American anime fandom as also shifted quite a bit from the ‘90s and early 2000s.

[@Lifesizemortal]

Western tastes have gotten somehow worse. I'm not saying most of the newest popular anime are necessarily bad, but the tastes have devolved into a lack of subtlety. Nearly every popular anime in the west is shounen action when we used to celebrate more story driven and character rich anime that didn't require violence as its main attraction.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Yeah people are unwilling to watch stuff from before Toonami was airing, and it’s pretty annoying

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

@@Lifesizemortal I don’t know exactly how true that is. Yeah, it is extremely Shōnen driven now. But the ‘80s and ‘90s OVA stuff that was popular in America in the ‘90s and into the 2000s was violent stuff, more so than the big stuff today. Part of the whole appeal of anime, beyond the cool style of them, was that they were doing things western animation largely wasn’t doing with regard to sex and violence. It’s what makes it funny when I hear about people getting made fun of in school for watching anime. It’s like, yeah, sure, if you were in middle school or high school playing with Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards you probably did made fun of, or of you wore one of those terrible looking DBZ button down shirts you might get made fun of, (even by someone that watched DBZ) but that didn’t happen with Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D. Anime fandom has also shifted to TV shows. Movies almost seem like they may as well not even exist to the larger American anime fandom anymore. Where in the ‘90s movies and OVA series (that got shown on TV as if they were movies) were the big thing. I get that there are more shows than ever before, but the lack of interest in movies is just odd given they’re budgets allow for a greater degree of style than shows of the last decade. There’s such an extreme lack of interest in movies I was kind of surprised to see Makoto Shinkai pop with Your Name.

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

@@thomasffrench3639 It’s even weirder, because now we’re at this weird point where some big much talked about thing from just a few years ago feels like in can slip into this weird place of being considered obscure. Just in general we seem to be cycling through pop culture faster than ever before...I think the death of television, and how modern television is programmed is largely to blame for that. But anime fandom seems to be on hyperspeed with how quickly it forgets the hits from just the year before.

I'm so happy to see Zeorymer be getting more attention! There were lots of other obscure mecha OVAs that had a profound influence on Evangelion, namely Fight! Iczer-1 (Toshihiro Hirano's OVA before Zeorymer, also adapted from a Lemon People manga) and Detonator Orgun, which was directed by the great Masami Obari. The UC Gundam timeline was also very influential on Evangelion; Amuro Ray in 0079 behaves almost exactly like Shinji, and the Puru stuff in ZZ Gundam is reminiscent of the Rei clone stuff. Hideaki Anno even made a Char's Counterattack fanzine that features interviews and discussions with Tomino.

[@quademasters249]

Amuro was so much better. He had his moments of doubt but he pulled out of it and grew into a hero. Shinji was a mess from beginning to end. He single handidly made me despise Evengelion. He was a loser surrounded by so many better characters. He never grew into a hero.

[@erickgribbellmartinez2187]

@@quademasters249 There's more to read on it than just "Amuro became a hero", if you also add Zera, ZZ and CCA, as well as some extra media, for Zeon he was a complete monster, while you would also have to add the fact that he died young because he never grew out of the endless war cycle like Kai or Sayla.

[@quademasters249]

@@erickgribbellmartinez2187 I thought the way he let the earth government push him around after the war was suspiciously beta. He had all of space to travel though. Amuro was a hero to the people around him. The only people that mattered at the time. While I'm sympathetic with the plight of the space dwellers and believed their fight was worth fighting, they were trying to kill the people on the Argama so, anything Amuro did in self defense was justified. One thing the OG Gundam did well was it showed how Amaro wasn't just a mary sue. He was talented and he worked hard at his craft. He got better over the series because he worked at it. Shinji was a nothing. He never escaped from being a loser. Every episode brought another disappointment.

[@nicodalusong149]

Amuro behave like Shinji? You have it backwards. Shinji Acts like Amuro. In fact, he has the same dynamic with his father as Amuro does with Tem Ray. The rest of Shinji's character is based off of Gunbuster's main character Noriko Takaya, who is also based off of Amuro, particularly taking from Noriko her lack of self-confidence and sad (?; not quite sure how to describe it) attitude from early in the show. Amuro never became a monster. What are you talking about? After the OYW he was put in house arrest by the federation. Then, they relegated him to being an instructor before the events of Zeta lead him to leave. By CCA, Amuro is a person with much hope in humanity with zero actual power to change the status quo and that's part of the tragedy of CCA.

[@quademasters249]

@@nicodalusong149 "In fact, he has the same dynamic with his father as Amuro does with Tem Ray" I don't see this at all. As far as we know, Amuro had a perfectly normal relationship with his father. Who seemed like a typical Japanese work-aholic. After the attack on the colony, his father was damaged pretty much directly because of Amuro's actions. He probably didn't know the Tems brain damage was from him causing the explosion on the colony which cracked the shell and expelling him into space. When he found his dad, still puttering with junk, it was a pretty sad moment. Particularly since, only we know Amura caused the damage. Is there some back story I'm not aware of?

Ikeda Hiroshi has a pretty interesting career outside of directing actually. He got transferred to R&D at Touei after the 1972 labor strikes and basically had to re-organize touei in order to turn it into a company that could actually make money. He also developed some of the earliest digital animation software which would lead him to leave Touei and work at Nintendo. So he did eventually leave, but "disappearing from the anime industry after working on some magical girl shows" isn't really correct.

[@kernsanders3973]

Those anime lists suffer from circle jerking opinions and fandom vote bombardments. Especially in the top anime list, there are titles that numbers above other that make absolutely no sense. It's because as soon as a fandom is formed around a property, there usually a group that organizes to vote bombard it to popularity even pushing it past timeless classics that in no way should ever be inferior to whatever hype anime they are currently on. I found it best to rather load up something like anidb and list certain genres by year released and filter it for specific year ranges. You will be surprised how many great OVAs there were in the 90s/80s that have never been on those lists. In fact some of them are super hard to find. Like trying to find great copies of Kishin Corps - Active Defense Forces now is super hard. Last time it was printed on DVD was 2001 and finding a copy or rip of that is s massive headache. This probably will be on one of the circle jerk lists but Giant Robot OVA series was phenomenal back then and absolutely timeless now. I had the entire series on VHS for years. I now bought it on Blu-Ray and Giant Robo has NEVER looked better. I appreciated the animation back then, but since anime and animation has basically gone down in quality since those days, Giant Robo is mind melting to just watch the animation alone, to boot the story is absolutely great, certainly fits into the type of Eva level of "not just a mecha" anime.
