Title: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Post by: crackers on July 2, 2014 04:15 PM
like

i dont really know where to start but i'm on episode 25, my head hurts, and i'm not sure whether it's a really immersive and well detailed plot or it's just inordinately stupid, and i'm looking at layers that aren't actually there

when i say 'i dont really know where to start', i mean with this thread, not that i've just jumped into watching it at episode 25

read angelic days

it's an alternate take on the series that revolves around the romantic subplot

not a lot of mech action involved, but it's also devoid of the whole "duugahhghgh why am i a worthless piece of shit" shtick

shinji a shit
asuka a slut

if you really want some closure watch 'end of evangelion', personally i think eva is overrated trash. the only good thing i have to say about is that the rebuilds have excellent animation. otherwise it's not worth watching

one of those shows that i got a glimpse of as a kid and they traumatized me because of all the violence and some weird scene with the naked lady coming onto shinji


i feel like i have to try it out because it's such a classic but i'm stalling

The disappointment level is out the roof with Evangelion imo. Hours I'll never get back.

generally most people like eva

i can sort of understand why self-loathing japanese youth like it, but i have a harder time seeing how foreigners relate to shinji in any way. even in 8th grade when i was a fucking loner and i watched eva for the first time i still couldn't stand it

EVA cropped down to Shinji crying oishii babby tears and some mecha fighting = perfect anime.

I actually heard (from a trusted philosophy pro friend) that End of Evangelion was one of the best Eva works as a stand-alone film. I'm gonna rewatch it soon.
