[53] These episodes
feature heavy use of abstract animation,[54] flashbacks,[55] simple line drawings, photographs[56] and fixed image scenes with voice-over dialogue. [57] Some critics speculated that these unconventional animation choices resulted from budget cuts,[58] but Toshio Okada stated that it wasn't only a problem of schedule or budget, since Anno "couldn't decide the
ending until the time came. That's his style". [59] These two episodes sparked controversy and condemnation among fans and critics of the series. [60] In 1997, Hideaki Anno and Gainax released two animated feature films, providing another ending for the show, named Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion. [61] Themes[edit] Main article: Themes of Neon Genesis Evangelion The cross-shaped explosion caused by the destruction of the third Angel exemplifies the use of Christian imagery in Evangelion. References to mystical traditions in Judaism and Christianity, including Midrashic literature and Kabbalah, are threaded liberally through the series. [62] Complicating viewers' attempts to form an unambiguous interpretation,[63] the series reworks Midrash stories, Zohar images and other Kabbalistic ideas developed from the Book of Genesis[64] to create a new Evangelion-specific mythology. [63] The plot also combines elements of esotericism and mysticism of the Jewish Kabbalah,[65][66] including the Angels, which have common and individual features with the Angels of the religious tradition,[67] such as Sachiel, Sandalphon and Ramiel. [68][69] Assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki stated the religious visual references were intended to make the series more "interesting" and "exotic" for a Japanese audience,[70] denying the existence of a religious meaning for the use of Christian visual symbols in the show. [71]
According to Anno, "as the symbols are mixed together, for the first time something like an interrelationship or a meaning emerges".
