>watch it as a teen>identify with Shinji>watch it as an adult>identify with GendoI am so fucked up. How have the years shifted your perception of Eva?
>>269204860Gendo is shinji if shinji never changed
>not identifying as rei at any agehomo.
>>269204908One of the first thing Misato says about Shinji is that he's like his father.
>>269204995I kind of do because of my schizoid personality but my drive is too strong for me to remain detached and apathetic.
>>269205097Depression is just rage turned inward. Gendo turned his depression outward at the entire world after losing his literal waifu.
>>269205153>Depression is just rage turned inwardWhere's that in the DSM, doctor?
>>269205188Ritsuko is the last person that should be giving out psychiatric evaluations. A banger body tho.
>>269205297She's a mad scientist, but at least for most of the show she finds a way to keep the mad and the scientist separate. The more you dig into Eva, the more interesting Ritsuko gets. She's got a huge mommas' complex, may have even colluded to have her mother killed. She is both emotionally detached from her job and emotionally attached to her boss. She's got a mile-wide jealous streak over Misato actually landing a working relationship and she hates Rei with a burning passion, even as she is basically the caretaker of the dummy plug system, and therefore Rei herself. There is a lot on her plate.
