25 Angelic Neon Genesis Evangelion Memes for Anime Fans Who Came for the Giant Robot Fights and Stayed for the Psychological Twists

Welcome, pilots. Neon Genesis Evangelion has long been considered one of the greatest anime of all time. Because of this, even new anime fans are well aware that it is much more than the average mecha anime. Even before I went on the psychological trip with Shinji, Rei, and Asuka, I was bombarded daily with Evangelion memes referring to Fanta, GIFs of the characters clapping, and of course, plenty of parodies of people posing like a defeated Shinji sitting on a chair. 
Scared to look too long at these funny memes on my Explore Page, lest I come across some terrible spoiler, I always scrolled passed them as quickly as possible. However, after having just finished the series, I realize that this mind-bending show would've been very difficult to spoil in any meaningful way. If you started watching NGE for the cool robot fights but stayed for the slow, heady, Tarkovsky-esque atmosphere, enjoy these 25 memes down below!
