In the subsequent fight against this Robot, the military has little-to-no ability to damage it until they use a powerful bomb, reflecting the inability of the JSSDF in Evangelion to harm Sachiel until they used an N2 Mine. The Robot itself bears some resemblance to Lilith with its splayed and damaged limbs. Muska also reveals a Robot ("a mechanical soldier with vast destructive power") to Laputa's protagonist, Sheeta, in a scene which at once mirror's Shinji's first meeting with an Eva Unit 01 in the cage and Misato's first sight of Lilith in Terminal Dogma. When at fortress Tedis, Muska takes over command from a blustering military general in a scene which mirrors one in Eva's first episode, when Gendo takes over command from a trio of generals who failed to destroy Sachiel. Laputa's primary antagonist, Muska, bears a striking resemblance to Gendo in his mannerisms, his actions, and his tinted, rounded sunglasses. "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" is a 1986 animated film written and directed by Hayao Mizayaki. Super-X defends itself by momentarily shape-shifting. Super-X has a shape-shifting ability similar to that possessed by Ramiel in Rebuild, though Super-X just disassembles and reassembles in its original configuration. Even more interesting, it seems that even today they are mining this show for material. Super-X also fires an energy beam and seems impervious to normal weapons. Make Super-X blue instead of yellow, and you have Ramiel. In episode 47, Necrime unleashes a floating octahedral mech known as "Super-X". He is recruited into the Magna Police, who are dedicated to protecting Neo-Tokyo from the powerful syndicate Necrime. In it, Ryuu Urashima mysteriously time-travels into the future, where he is dubbed the "Urashiman", and told that time travel has given him super powers.

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto said in an interview published in the Deluxe Edition of Der Mond that both he and Hideaki Anno were influenced by Go Nagai and that they wanted an ending similar to that of Devilman.įuture Police Urashiman is a fifty episode anime series that aired in 1983. Smaller visual details include a naked girl floating in a tube, and a couple of Gendo Poses.ĭevilman, a manga series by Go Nagai, features a similar apocalyptic ending. Early Evangelion designs bear a strong resemblance to Orgun - although it must be noted that similar design features(such as huge shoulders and horn-like protrusions) were present in other late 80s/early 90s mecha anime. The final episode features shamelessly overblown biblical symbolism, most notably in the form of Orgun's Grand Cruciform final attack. The main character Tomoru synchronizes with a sentient alien bio-mecha however, it is later revealed that the "aliens" are, in fact, not aliens at all, but super-evolved humans (a plot point possibly influenced by the original Macross).
While it's impossible to tell for certain whether or not it actually influenced the creators of Evangelion, there are a number of similarities that are worth noticing, even if they are entirely coincidental: The cast of Oniisama E also includes characters named "Rei Asaka" aka "Hana no Saint Juste" (Saint Juste of the Flowers), and "Kaworu Orihara" aka "Kaworu no Kimi" (Prince Kaworu).Ī shot of a nearby sandbox, with pail and shovelĭetonator Orgun is a three-episode OAV from 1991. and then a shot of a nearby sandbox including a pail and shovel.
