Lovecraft inspired anime featured image with Lilith from Evangelion and Devilman
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Horrors beyond comprehension await viewers in the best Lovecraftian anime. H.P. Lovecraft poured all of his real-life fears and prejudices into his writing, which has become famous for its depictions of unknowable, indescribable terrors. The mythos he created around ancient beings and the protagonists they drive to madness just by being discovered have influenced decades of horror media.
Both the original final episodes of the show and the “true” finale, the movie The End of Evangelion, crank the Lovecraftian tones up to eleven. Lilith’s awakening triggers Instrumentality, forcibly removing all individuality from every human on Earth and reducing the population to a state beyond comprehension. Shinji is forced to confront his own mental and emotional issues and choose between humanity and oblivion.
However, even worse is the reveal of why Kyubey’s species have set up the whole system of magical girls killing and then becoming witches. They’re fighting an even more unperceivable enemy: the inevitable heat death of the universe, which for some reason can be staved off by sacrificing the highest emotions of children.
Akira champions humanity, a major undertaking in a world where, as Lovecraft believed, humans are to the supernatural beings as ants are to humans now. Hard as he may fight, he finds himself and the Earth overwhelmed by forces greater than himself. Worse, even the people he thought were his best friends prove to have devastating secrets and hidden motives of their own.
