Neon Gender: Evangelion from a Trans Perspective
Description
This week on Transcending Comic's, we're joined by Tiktok's "Just Nausicaa" for a discussion about trans representation in on of our favoire anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion!
We'll be discussing how we came across this series, what it's meant to us over the years, and examining its characters and themes through a trans and queer lens. We discuss Shinji's journey and its resonance with the trans experience, the unique character dynamics, and the impact of the series on our lives. We also delve into the Rebuild films and their portrayal of trans themes, as well as the evolution of our own perspectives as we revisit this iconic anime post-transition.
This episode is a deep dive into how media can reflect and shape our understanding of identity, trauma, and self-discovery.
