Description
Summary:In Japan, the growth of manga and cartoons adaptation on television can not be separate from science fiction and the development of the robot anime genre. Standing out from the traditional representation of giant robots generally imposed by toy makers, Neon Genesis Evangelion’s creatures blend science, religion and psychoanalysis in a plot that reflects the attitude of the SF amateurs and the position of the director of the series within the Japanese animation industry. At the level of production, it is a demonstration of the versatility of the animated medium and its capacity to adapt to different kinds of narrative. To show how the production conditions impact the aesthetics and the narratives, this paper explores the poetics of the medium and demonstrates that Evangelion is a metanarrative fiction that deconstructs the robot anime’s standards while exposing the process of its serial creation.
