I'm sure it was done by someone very experienced in
the area, however I don't think it is a terribly good
analysis of Eva, it draws too many parallels to
Kabbalism that I personally think don't exist. The
creators have stated that Eva uses religious symbolism
for a purely aesthetic purpose, "because it looks cool".
Eva is Anno's story, and the characters are his avatars,
while it is obvious that there are references to parts of
the Kabbalah in the series and movies, I don't think
the story was wholesale based upon its teachings.
The last time I read it through was a couple of years
ago, however I remember thinking then that it seemed
to be a great deal of work based upon a very shaky
premise.

Fine me a source that lists those descriptions outside of an
Eva webpage. I am open to the possibility that it could be
true, but I've been looking for 3 years now (ever since I
first heard of that theory) and I have _never_ once been
about to find any supporting evidence for it outside of an
Eva webpage.

Sorry that was just the one that jumped out at me because I
have problems with it. You did indeed credit Patrick Yip's
translation of the RCB, but everything in your "Analysis"
section is from that previously mentioned site so...
You did do a good job of converting everything to pdf though ^^
