The Evangelion Opening Parody refers to the countless recreations of the iconic 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis' intro sequence from the 1995 anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. Known for its rhythmic editing, rapid-fire flashing text, and abstract religious imagery, the sequence has become a hallmark of internet culture. Fans and creators often swap the original characters and text with those from other franchises, real-life events, or niche subcultures to create high-energy, often chaotic tributes. Whether it is a low-budget live-action remake or a crossover with another series, the meme thrives on the stark contrast between the intense, high-stakes vibe of the original show and the often absurd subject matter of the parody.
