For this and other reasons (although perhaps by design as well), Evangelion's plot became increasingly dark and psychological as the series progressed, despite being broadcast in a children's television timeslot.
Karena hal ini lah dan beberapa alasan lain (meskipun mungkin karena rancangan juga), alur Evangelion menjadi semakin gelap dan semakin psikologis seiring dengan berjalannya seri tersebut, meskipun anime ini disiarkan di televisi dalam waktu tayang/sesi untuk anak-anak.
