"Death Note, XXXHOLiC Novels in the Works".[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". [72] According to Patrick Drazen, numerous allusions to the Kojiki and the Nihongi have a prominent role in Evangelion, along with the Shinto vision of the primordial cosmos and the mythical lances of the Shinto deities Izanagi and Izanami. [73] Elements of the Judeo-Christian tradition also feature prominently throughout the series, including references to Adam, Lilith, Eve, the Lance of Longinus,[74] the Dead Sea Scrolls,[75] the Kabbalistic concept of Adam Kadmon, and the Tree of Life. [73] The merging of all human souls into one through the Human Instrumentality Project at the end of the series has been compared to the Kabbalistic concept of tikkun olam. [76] The Evangelions have been likened to the golem of Jewish folklore,[46] and their visual design resembles the traditional depictions of oni, Japanese demons or ogres.
