Analysis

• Neon Genesis Evangelion Title
  The original Japanese title of the show is actually Shin Seiki Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン), which most literally translates to 'Gospel of a New Century,' or 'New Century Gospel.' The 'Neon' is a mistranslation by Gainax believed to have been made for aesthetic reasons.

• The Four Arcs
  Based on the tone of the episodes, the Neon Genesis Evangelion series may be divided into four distinct arcs; episodes 01 to 07 are the prologue or introduction arc, episodes 08 to 13 are the action arc, episodes 14 to 19 are the descent arc, and episodes 20 to 26 are the deconstruction arc.
