What other work has supernatural powers, family issues, bildungsroman, incest, and high philosophical themes of existentialism and psychoanalysis all which lead to battles between those supernatural forces?

Gotterdammerung is very much like EOE.

Most people do not fully grasp the extent to which NGE is influenced by German idealism and romanticism. Don't believe Anno when he says he puts everything into the show "just because it's cool." Some things are in the show because Anno thought they were cool, but not EVERYTHING is. In particular, Eva is heavily influenced by Hegel and Freud. It's influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis on the one hand and Hegelian occultism/dialecticism on the other. Why do you think there's so much German "presence" in the show? Why is Asuka German? Why is NERV's German branch mentioned over and over, and seems to be of great import in the overall organization? Fuck, why do NERV and SEELE both have German words as names? The influence of German romanticism and idealism is very strong in Eva.

You forgot the blatant Schopenhauerean influence in the form of Rei as a showcase of the will-to-live and more obvious Hedhog's dilemma.

Anno says a lot of shit that you can't always take seriously. There's a point at which you have to analyze the art apart from the artist. I believe there's an entire movement in Western literary analysis devoted to that.

Not to mention Anno is not the only major influence on Eva. There's Sadamoto and Ikuhara, for another thing.

SAdolf Hitler

I’m not worthy to speak for Adolf Hitler, and his life and deeds do not invite any sentimental reflection.

Hitler was a warrior, a warrior for humankind and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reforming character of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he functioned in a time of unparalleled brutality, which in the end felled him.

Thus may the ordinary Western European look at Adolf Hitler.

And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death.

anno is fully the reason Eva is good. Not just for the psychoanalysis and religious references but hes also one of the most talented animation directors. Miyazaki, who is unarguably the goat of animation, considered Anno a prodigy or an "alien" because of his talent. Anno's first task was fully drawing and directing an entire sequence in Nausicaa.

I agree, this is much like the fact that you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
