(With the obvious exception of the infamous “I’m so fucked up” scene from End of Evangelion)

I don’t get why Shinji gets so much hate. His actions throughout the series are the flawed realistic actions of a 14 year old boy who is very autism-coded (seeing as he doesn’t understand Asuka’s advances and is alone much of the time)

I think that fans of other series see monuments to masculinity like Kenshiro from HNK or bubbly Shonen never give up-type characters like Naruto and just assume that Shinji is supposed to be like that when really it’s Hideaki Anno’s brilliance that he’s not like that.

Shinji is a commentary on lonely young men who use media (in his case music) to escape from reality.

Imagine if you were put In Shinji’s position, an unloved child fighting to save the world would weigh heavy on anyone’s shoulders.

He's actually just a diet uso and amuro kitbash. Like many things in eva such as the literal finale, eva is a diet gundam victory clone that needs to steal from other better works and coast off its fans blind ignorance.
>>
At this point I don't know if the "Eva is a total rippoff of [insert different work]" posts are ironic or not anymore. It has become a meme.
Fuck it, Anno is a hack! Eva is a copy of uhhhh Iron Man 28!

>anno is on record saying ideon is one of his favourite anime ever and there are several obvious similarities between the two series and the movies
>but it had no influence on eva guys, because one fuckwit on 4chan got upset at someone calling eva an ideon ripoff
You are not a fan of sci-fi, you're a fan of regurgitated slop from a talentless unoriginal loser.
>>
>>23762632
I mean, having influences and being a complete rip-off are different things.

I wouldn't recommend Ideon if someone just wants something else like Eva. Although you can see some similarities as the show goes on, the overall style and story is just completely different.

Heck, Anno himself has also said Eva's basic set up is basically Mazinger Z (kids piloting to protect a lab, even Eva-01 first shot recreates Mazinger's first shots), and yet it's clearly its own thing too, due to Anno's own style and mixes of other influences.

Not from the grave, it's a Lalah that had Char sacrficing himself to save her rather than vice-versa. Even though her universe used the OG 0079 designs for the suits, it's not the actual OG UC.

Then somehow afterwards her powers grew to allow her to influence other timelines and jump to them, trying to create a world where Char survives the OYW, but he always ends up dying one way or another, until she gets to the G-Quuuuuux world where he gets the Gundam.

No. This is because of the world Anno set up. Now, if it's someone that isn't Anno, yes. Because EVA is as loose as a goose that just wants to be for the taking. But I accept 3.0 + 1.0 as the definitive finale. He should do something else.

My biggest complaint so far is with the pacing. I know it's because they're needing to introduce the three main protagonists and their supporting cast as quickly as possible, but for example we could have spent more time on Setsuna's character rather than him infodumping pretty much his entire backstory inside of three minutes in the middle of the motw plot.

True, all the good ideas they had that stood out from other Gundam shows were pretty much quickly abandoned.
>Gundam x Mad Max
Abandoned after like 6 or 8 episodes, somehow Earth has mostly been unified by the previous Federation within 15 years. What’s the point of a post apocalyptic setting if you aren’t going to explore the world views of the newly emerging civilisations that will mythologise the past while developing new ideas how to organise themselves. The closest we got was that one nation in Asia that harkened back to the past with the title of President but was basically a monarchy.
>Flash system
Most interesting mobile suit idea that makes up for the lack of Newtypes to pilot mobile suits by having one control multiple mobile suits. I honestly thought Jamil and Lucille were foreshadowing for how Garrod and Tiffa would use the Flash system.

Tonight I'll finish my first rewatch of Zeta. The first was very enthusiastic, but this second I am noticing more defects. I mean, technically speaking it's incredible to see the jump from 0079 to this, but the writing is abysmal compared to the first series.
In particular, I think that after a very solid start, it loses itself around halfway through. It was very nice to meet again both Char and Amuro, Four was introduced nicely but then disappears. There are way too many factions that receive minimal development because each week we need to see robot fights - which worked for 0079 because the White Base is a sort of refugee ship with kid soldiers trying to survive, but here the scenario is way different. Also too many plot points are developed around characters just jumping on mechas and leaving the ship whenever they feel like it, with no respect for command chains or anything else (and this despite the fact that the series constantly makes it a point how important it is to obey orders).
Reccoa, on a second rewatch, made way more sense; and Char is already setting CCA by clearly showing signs of being the most depressed man alive, especially in how he treats her and other women, and in his reluctancy to do anything for anyone except Kamille. The whole human drama tries to be deeper than 0079, but ends up making so many of the war scenarios described too unrealistic even for this kind of anime. I still love it, but its more flawed than I remembered.

Zeta improved on L-gaim’s focus on animating the components of a mecha. Seeing small flaps open and the guts of a suit work. Layzner itself has a ton of QUALITY moments itself too. To suggest it looks better than Zeta is just dishonest.
No layzner doesn’t look like a fucking OVA and plenty of mecha anime have worst animation than Zeta lmfao.


This is why I didn’t take your posts seriously. You think the TV run of Votoms had better animation than Zeta? Or hell even shit like Dunbine? This is so dishonest it’s eye roll worthy. The MK 2 killing the marine Zaku is a throw away shot in a relatively unimportant episode and it looks great. Please actually have something to say other than “it looks bad cause something something vague critique of shot direction” because you are basically stating a big budgeted sequel to GUNDAM was handled by actual retards.
>>
I had a thought, following the whole Newtype soul power thing the Zeta Gundam does at the very end to kill Scirocco, and I want to get some opinions on it. Is the Newtype connection really 'new', or are they just tapping into something that was already there? Is it just an awakening to a form of collective unconscious that was already present in humanity, and the 'Newtype' that Deikum posited was just people able to perceive it?

The idea has been roiling around in my head ever since the bit with Lalah's death in the original show, where she dissolves into Newtype glow or whatever, and the comment Fa makes about there being no such thing as Oldtypes reawakened it. If the 'Newtype Dimension' or all that was there from the start and it's just a question of who awakens to their potential to tap into it, does that mean that, even past death, you have figures influencing the living? That the whole 'people repeating the same mistakes' might be because those that came before drive those who come after to do the same things they did, resulting in the same disasters?

>>23761603
Layzner has barely any quality moments, please actually watch shows before commenting. You can't be calling me dishonest and be saying shit like that. It's easily the best looking 80s show I've seen outside of OVAs like Megazone. While the animation is not necessarily better, VOTOMS had much better action scenes than Zeta at the very least. I only saw half of Dunbine but that show had much more fluid animation and more dynamic action than Zeta as well, at least from what I saw. I don't even like Dunbine, Zeta is definitely a better show, but I would defend that argument that Dunbine looks better.
I get it, it's absurd to imply that Sunrise would put it's weight behind shit like Layzner over something like Zeta, a follow-up to an extremely successful show in 0079. But I really think that's the case here, and my only possible logic is that they knew Zeta was going to be successful so they cut corners on animation. I mean that could be the case, they didn't bring Itano back after he made a name for himself with Macross as an example and Yas wasn't much involved in it either beyond character design afaik.

Hey anon >>23758797 here, I like the premise of what you wrote but I only just now had a chance to read it. It's an interesting idea and a virus that essentially gets androids high is really neat. One thing I really like is that it's set in a transition phase between the collapse of nations and governments as we know them to full on corporate war. A lot of settings with similar subjects tend to either go with the corpos already in control of the world or so thoroughly entwined with governments that it's corporate rule in all but name. Also the fighters you mentioned, are they just highly advanced fighter jets or are they space fighters? Are they like Macross variable fighters?

Why did it fail?
