Frog,[238][239] Rick and Morty,[240] One Hour Photo,[241] Steven Universe,[242] Kong: Skull Island,[243] and Nope. [244] The show's mixture of religion and mecha also influenced subsequent Japanese video games, including Xenogears[245] and El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. [246] The design and personality traits of the character Rei Ayanami were reused for many anime and manga characters of the late 1990s, such as Ruri Hoshino of Nadesico, Ruriko Tsukushima (Droplet),[247] Miharu (Gasaraki),[248] Anthy Himemiya (Revolutionary Girl Utena), and Lain Iwakura (Serial Experiments Lain). [249] The character of Asuka was parodied by Excel (Excel Saga),[250] and some of her traits were used to create the character of Mai in Gunparade March. [251] According to Italian critic Guido Tavassi, Evangelion's mecha design, characterized by a greater resemblance to the human figure, and the abstract designs of the Angels, also had a significant impact on the designs of future anime productions. [252] Nobuhiro Watsuki designed several characters for Rurouni Kenshin based on characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion, namely Uonuma Usui, Honjō Kamatari and Fuji. [253][254] Other artists have cited the series as an inspiration, including Makoto Shinkai[255] and Gege Akutami for their manga Jujutsu Kaisen. [256] In the aftermath of Evangelion, Anno reused stylistic conceits from the series in the live-action Love & Pop and the anime romance Kare Kano. [257] Neon Genesis Evangelion also influenced music artists, such as the British band Fightstar and its debut album, Grand Unification,[257] and the Japanese band Rey, which derived its name from the character of Rei Ayanami. [258] Merchandising[edit] In Japan, Evangelion is an enormous content and merchandise industry with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Images of its biomechanical Eva robots are on everything from coffee mugs to smartphones and even airplane wraps.
