The characters in Japan met with the favor of the public, becoming the protagonists of merchandising articles and winners of popularity polls. This narrative choice culminates in the two final episodes, whose narrative fulcrum are Shinji's streams of consciousness, which, however, do not lead to a clear conclusion of the plot. Many of the heroes in the second half of the series suffer trauma or physical violence, which exacerbate their anxieties and fears, and the episodes give ample space to their inner monologues, with which they question the meaning of their actions and life. The different personalities were developed from that of Hideaki Anno, director and main scriptwriter of the work. The character design, drawn by artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, was conceived so that each individual could be easily identified by a simple silhouette. The protagonist is Shinji, a teenage boy who was recruited by his father Gendo to the shadowy organization Nerv to pilot a giant bio-machine mecha named " Evangelion" into combat against beings known as " Angels". The Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Gainax.
