I still don't know whether I ever did see the end of Evangelion - like, I know I watched most of it, but it didn't really come to an *ending*, or tie up any loose ends, or start to make sense, or anything. But apparently everyone feels that way.

A lot of anime does the exoticized view of Christianity, and I'm not actually meaning to complain about it - none of it's any worse than what people who do claim to be Christian have done, and I actually find it fascinating to get a little bit of what it's like to look at Christianity when you're not swimming in it. But I don't know that I'd recommend them to a junior high Sunday School class. :D (Although, if the kids could handle it ... talking about other cultures' use of Christianity, and what that tells us both about Christianity, and about the way we use other cultures, could be really cool.)
