Creation and conception

According to manager Hideaki Anno, Evangelion was an attempt to brand all perspectives into one, creating characters that represent different things to different viewers to make information technology incommunicable for anybody to arrive at a unmarried theory. To some viewers, the characters are psychological representations, while to others, they are philosophical, religious, historical, and even themselves.

Anno was influenced past Ryu Murakami's war novel Fascism in Love and Fantasy (愛と幻想のファシズム [ ? ] , "Ai to Gensō no Fashizumu"), and the names "Toji Suzuhara," "Kensuke Aida," and the surname "Horaki" come from this story, which was based on Kanji Ishiwara, a Lieutenant General in Regal Japan. Many of the surnames of the characters in Evangelion are named after Japanese warships in World War 2.[2]
