labelling asuka as a tsundere does such a disservice to her character. it ignores her trauma and basically all of episode 22 just to boil her behaviour down as just a crush on shinji! because that's so much more interesting right? to chock it all up to a crush.
#basically if u call either asuka or rei a tsundere or a kuudere i don't trust your thoughts on this show#or on anything in general#evangelion#asuka langley soryu

visual storytelling in nge: asuka's name
there are three different asukas we get to see in canon.
asuka langley soryu from the original anime, asuka shikinami langley, and a rare glimpse of asuka langley soryu from the alternate universe (episode 26).
note that both the original soryu and shikinami's names are shown to be written in katakana (on id cards, text on screen, etc).
in the alternate universe only, her name is written in kanji as 明日香 (shown scribbled out on the desk).

Anno’s pulled much in way of inspiration from old British sci-fis (check out comparisons charts for Gerry Anderson’s UFO or The Avengers British original) but this takes the cake.

expanding on this post:
rei reads the happy prince by oscar wilde. thank you sisterreisaid for bringing that to my attention.
anno had this to say about ai to gensou no fascism/ fascism of love and illusion:
There was this replacement by a robot, so the original mother is the robot, but then there is a mother of the same age, Rei Ayanami, by [Shinji's] side.
[She is] also by the side of the real father. There is also another father there, Adam, who governs the overall course of events. An Oedipus Complex within these multiple structures; that's what I wanted to do.
Ai to Genso no Fascism. I think there are ideological elements that are the same as those in the novel. [...] The thing that most moved me was [the fact that] when the protagonist, Toji Suzuhara, attempted to kill the current Prime Minister, he felt [the Prime Minister] was very much like a father.
He thinks, "I will kill my father and violate my mother, Japan." So, he goes on to destroy Japan. I really like that passage. I like that Ryu Murakami's real feelings come out there. The novel itself is extremely boring, however (laughs).
literary references in evangelion
toji suzuhara, kensuke aida, and the last name horaki are lifted from characters within ryu murakami's novel ai to gensou no fascism / fascism of love and illusion.
nerv's motto is a quote from pippa passes, a 1841 verse drama.
"God's in his heaven— All's right with the world!
this line is also quoted in anne of the green grables.
"'God's in his heaven, all's right with the world,'" whispered Anne softly.
isao takahata's anime adaptation anne of the green gables also includes a scene similar to the ending scene of the anime series.
the name of episode 26 (the beast that shouted i at the heart of the world) is a reference to the book by harlan ellison, the beast that shouted love at the heart of the world, a collection of short stories. "i" sounds very similar to "ai", meaning love in japanese.
the greek tragedies, oedipus rex and electra which is fairly self-explanatory... i hope... with the show's use of freudian concepts (shinji's oedipus complex and misato's electra complex respectively.)
the human instrumentality project is a reference to the book series by cordwainer smith, instrumentality of mankind.
despite that, the human instrumentality bears a striking resemblance to the plot of Arthur C. Clarke's 1953 novel, childhood's end.
plot synopsis on goodreads:
The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city--intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.
But at what cost? With the advent of peace, man ceases to strive for creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race. To those who resist, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own. As civilization approaches the crossroads, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind . . . or the beginning?
in asuka and kaji's introductory episode asuka strikes, there are four battleships in the UN convoy named after the shakespeare plays titus andronicus, cymbeline, othello and tempest.
in 2.22, kaji says he feels like urashima taro, referencing the japanese legend named after it's titular character, a fisherman named urashima taro. the legend goes that the fisherman rescues a turtle and is rewarded by a visit to the dragon palace where he is entertained for several days but when he returns to the human world, he finds that he had been gone for at least a century and everything around him has now changed. this is a metaphor for how kaji left tokyo-03 for only two years yet feels as though everything around him has now changed.
episode sixteen being titled (there are alternate titles to several evangelion episodes) sickness unto death after the philosopher soren kierkegaard's book of the same name exploring christian existentialism.
speaking of episodes being titled after philosophical works from the victorian era, is the hedgehog's dilemma. originally described in arthur schopenhauer's collection of philosophical reflections, parerga und paralipomena. the hedgehogs dilemma is a theme seen over and over again in evangelion with episode 4 being titled after it.
the title of evangelion 3.0 + 1.0: thrice upon a time references the book with the same title, thrice upon a time by james p. hogan.
It's amazing enough when Murdoch Ross's brilliant grandfather invents a machine that can send messages to itself in the past or the future. But when signals begin to arrive without being sent, Murdoch realizes that every action he takes changes the future that would have been...and that the world he lives in has already been altered!
Then a new message arrives from the future: The world is doomed!
as qmisato pointed out, anno has referenced james p. hogan's works previously as well (nadia: secret of the waters' final episode being titled inheritor of stars referencing hogan's novel inherit the stars)
