The following was originally posted THE Hal E. Burton 9000 me on what was then called Eva Monkey Forums on Thursday, Mar 15, 2007, at around 11:39 pm: Anywho, it was the middle of the night. I think it was real early AM Sunday morning too. I was channel surfing and I found this insane show. It was animated, on Cartoon Network. It was a part of the whole "Adult Swim" block I had heard advertised years before (ATHF, other annoyingly crappy shows that I can't recall, etc.) which I wrote off as stoner entertainment. But this show, it was different. Very different. It was throwing out these questions that seemed really emotional but honest and methodical. I was completely riveted. This was such a wonderfully refreshing show. Its name, (cue up A Cruel Angel's Thesis) EVANGELION! I think it was episode 26, crazily enough! It was my first exposure to Eva and the first time something I not only liked but loved came from Japan since I had a fallout with Power Rangers over a decade earlier and hardened that disdain after the Pokemon explosion. I had found Eva and a whole world of great anime that I did not know even existed! :~D
As of January 2008, it's been two years since I first encountered Evangelion on Adult Swim. It was an interesting time for this to occur, considering what I was going through at that time. Jenna, my original crush from grade school had been molested by her father's best friend and long time family friend and it was a culmination of much of what I had experienced since the fifth grade. I'll try and keep this VERY long story as short as I can.
Beginning in fifth grade, the grasp of what I then realized were my overprotective parents had started to loosen. I had the worst teacher ever, puberty kicks in and a girl named Jenna that I had a crush found out that I had one on her (and I did so in an unflattering manner). I continued to act up into the sixth grade. So much so, I got sent to a therapist and I was put on a combination of Prozac and Zoloft. I attempted suicide twice and fortunately did not succeed. By seventh grade, I had not changed my feelings for Jenna but I had stopped "pining" for her so outwardly. I stopped taking Prozac and Zoloft as well as acting up but I continually grew and grew so disenchanted with the private, Protestant nondenominational school I had attended since the second grade I left in the middle of my freshman year. I would be homeschooled for the remainder of high school. Fast forward some years later, and I heard what happened to Jenna, and much of the feelings that I had built up (and since the seventh grade) purged against the school's administration, to a lesser extent against my parents, BURST FORTH. It may have been the most depressing one and a half years of my life.
Enter Evangelion. It was during that one and a years after I was made aware of Jenna that I discovered Evangelion so early on that random Sunday morning. It REALLY resonated with me and with what I had been going through in the past and that current time. It was one of the very few times that something in the media (from a CARTOON no less) so accurately and deeply connected with all my thoughts and feelings. For that, Evangelion is my all time, all genre favorite television show and I will forever be indebted to Anno-sensei.
