History Anime / PetitEva

Compare ''Anime/SDGundamForce'', ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'' and ''Manga/AttackOnTitanJuniorHigh'', which also have SuperDeformed parodic takes on their similarly moody, cerebral and/or dark franchises.

** Anything the mountain with an eye does. It’s some kind of retired local Anime/{{Doraemon}}-style anime hero that might also be an Angel.

* TheUnintelligible: Everyone's dialogue is nonsensical babble

** Why some of the FunnyBackgroundEvents happen are this too.

** A random bird pooping mid-flight.

* SigilSpam: On everything, including toast.

* ToiletHumour: Minor example. Shinji is shown to have had some trouble, erm, letting out [[ItMakesSenseInContext the batteries he had to swallow]].

* GenderFlip: While technically Eva-01 was an AmbiguousRobot, and, therefore, had no gender, (remembering it was inhabited by [[spoiler:Yui's soul]]), in this version, Eva-01 is portrayed as being male. Also, Keel is apparently now female.

* MoeAnthropomorphism: Eva-00, Eva-02, AND Jet Alone get this. Even the Mass-Produced [=EVAs=] are adorable!
* MindScrew: Some of the episodes make NO LOGICAL SENSE AT ALL. Granted, it was made by Gainax, but still....

''[[http://www.evangelion.co.jp/petit_eva/ Petit Eva: Evangelion@School]]'' is yet another adaptation of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. This time, it's a Super Deformed comedic parody which has most of the principal cast (including Unit 01 and three Reis at once) in silly hijinks around the high school. It features no spoken (intelligible) dialogue, and rather than using traditional animation, it is done in complete 3-D CGI, initially by Ombibus Japan until Episode 9, then by Creator/{{Xebec}} from Episode 10 onward.

* ArtEvolution: The characters become chunkier and stiffer looking after the first nine episodes.

** Apparently, [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth Eva-01's greatest fear]] is any character's facial features individually spun around like a WheelOfFortune and having them burst into the room with a ZombieGait.

* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Don’t eat batteries, kids.]]
* ArtEvolution: The characters become more chunky and stiffer looking after the first nine episodes.

* BlackComedy: In episode 19, despite the humorous action going on setting an entirely different mood, the text Misato is writing on the blackboard is about the history of Nerv. As anyone who’s watched the original series can tell you, ''it was not pretty''. It is described by Misato thus:
-->2015 A.D.
-->THE TALE OF NERV
-->A long time ago, there was a big explosion. Seele, the secret society that knew this, selected Gendou. ‘That’s real sad, but isn’t that the Second Impact?’ [...] who asked this [...]

* ButtMonkey: Shinji...again.
* CheerfulChild: Rei 3...except when she doesn't get her cake.

* DirtyOldMan: Gendou

* FingerTenting: Gendou, naturally. ''[[AdaptationPersonalityChange And it is freaking adorable.]]''
* GenderFlip: While technically Eva-01 was an AmbiguousRobot and therefore had no gender, it was inhabited by [[spoiler:Yui's soul]]. In this version, Eva-01 is portrayed as being male. Also, Keel is apparently now female.

* MerchandiseDriven: ''Petit Eva'' is based on (or at least ties into) a line of SuperDeformed ''Evangelion'' merchandise, some of which is based on the original series or ''Rebuild'' and depicts things that don't exist in the shorts.

* MindScrew: Some of the episodes make NO LOGICAL SENSE AT ALL. Granted, it was made by Gainax, but still... some YouTube comments indicate that the plots are even more incomprehensible than Instrumentality.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Eva-01's [[spoiler:super boogers.]]
* MythologyGag: Shinji and Asuka defeating Israfel with perfectly synchronized moves is similar to how they did it in the original ''Evangelion''.

** Apparently, [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth Eva-01's greatest fear]] is any character's facial features individually spun around like WheelOfFortune and having them burst into the room with a ZombieGait.

There are also assorted {{Yonkoma}} comics (including a 3 volume manga series) and a LicensedGame for the NintendoDS in the same setting. The DS game is notable [[EarlyBirdCameo for its inclusion of]] ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'''s Mari; it was actually the first source to reveal her first name.

Compare ''Anime/SDGundamForce'' and ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'', which also have SuperDeformed parodic takes on their similarly moody, cerebral and/or dark franchises.

* MerchandiseDriven: The character designs in ''Petit Eva'' are used for franchise-wide merchandise, most notably phone straps and keychains.

Compare ''Anime/SDGundamForce'', which also has a parodic take on its similarly moody, cerebral franchise.

* TwinSwitch: Rei 2 decides to do this when Rei 1 falls sick. Of course, with their personalities being polar opposites, everyone in school is VERY confused.
