Evangelion is Anno's most well-known work. It began with a landmark mecha anime series that aired in 1995


Why do people insist on calling Evas mecha when they are biological and sentient?

Biological, sentient mecha. I don't see the problem.

They are sentinent, but are still something that can be piloted and synced with. So they are still Mecha. In fact, a lot of Super Robots have some degree of sentinence.

Hell, Attack on Titan is basically all about Biological mecha fighting each other, too.

The Shin Cinematic universe begins!

Or more accurately we should get some interesting merchandise.

Maybe also because that's a spoiler? them being sentient is a twist.

I mean they also literally call them giant robots in the show itself.

Where to they do so? I ask, because the knowledge that the Eva are not mecha is supposed to be limited to a select few within NERV (not even the Eva pilots are initially told).
