Why is his greatest sin perceived as "never even liking himself?"Self-image comes from other people first and foremost. Nobody even gave him the chance except for maybe Kaworu and he was forced to kill him.
>>282096780because anno had a mental breakdowni think he was trying to gaslight himself into having self worth
>>282096841I mean, even in a meta-sense people hate Shinji as a character for "being whiny" and "hating himself." So I don't think that alone could explain it
Rei fixed him in NGE.It was very dramatic and messy but it worked.
>>282096780>Self-image comes from other people first and foremost. Nobody even gave him the chance except for maybe Kaworu and he was forced to kill himFunny thing is Shinji still does well despite the circumstances, and despite the "get in the robot" meme, he usually proactively gets in the robot. Whenever he shows up in SRW, it's funny how much getting positive role models and an actual support group turns him around.
Misato was gassing him up before they ever spoke. 3.33 is remarkable for being the only time she ever stopped.
>>282096780Shinji's a cute boy, and i love him a lot!
>Evashit in September 2025Grow up. Watch something funny like Nadia instead and quit jacking off 8 times a week
>>282098410If you don't work at least 60 hours a week, lower your tone.
Eva is one huge gaslight, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Shinji.
>>282098589Correct!
>>282098091>Misato was gassing him up before they ever spokeHalf-heartedly with obvious, hypocritical ulterior motives
>>282097085rei sucks. misato or bust
>>282098773Ok?I choose busting in Rei
>>282098773Sucks like a vacuum. I would never bust in Misato either.
>>282096841Anno just hates happy endings for some reason.Before NGE, he made The Mystery of Blue Water, where the minor villains turned out to be good guys, and the two protagonists end up getting married at the end and living happily. But that decision was made by the producers I think. Later, Anno directed a movie sequel to that anime where the villains had reverted back to their criminal selves for no reason, while the protagonists were no longer married.>>282096905One of the reasons I fell in love with NGE was that Shinji was more like a normal teenage boy than your typical hero. It made him relatable.
>>282098589omedetou
>>282098773Misato cares about Shinji, but doesn't love him. And she repeatedly tries to use sex to manipulate him, which is seriously wrong considering that she's supposed to be his guardian.Asuka never shows the slightest bit of affection toward him. She also uses sex against him.Rei on the other hand, sacrifices herself to save him. Objectively, she has to be considered the best girl.
>>282099217TRVKE
>>282096780Because he hit too close to home for self inserters
>>282098091Misato was extremely manipulative whenever she hyped him up to go in the robot and it was so obvious even Shinji picked up on it everytime she did it
>>282096780Self-hatred inevitably leads to blaming God for the form gifted to you. It's the same malformed logic that drives troons to mutilate themselves trying to "correct the mistake" that only exists in their heads.
>>282099826Rent free
>>282101321I wish Asuka lived rent free in my house
>>282096780Everyone gave him a chance. Because he hated himself he assumed they'd already made up their mine about hating him too and egotistically assumed they were all acting in bad faith just to get him to do what they needed from him, and that if they didn't need anything from him they'd actively scorn him
oh boy yet another evangelion thread. anyway how autistic is it that i bought a blu-ray drive and discs to burn the sephirotic release because the offical english blu-ray fucking sucks. fucking netflix not licensing fly me to the moon
>>282101555not the demiurge btw
>>282101722Don't blue-ray copies before netflix got the license exist?
>>282102360Just the ADV dvd's. No english blu-rays before netflix.
>>282102377I remember there was a big shit show about the ADV dub only being on the special mega expensive edition set and the regular just had netflixs shit show. I mean say what you want about the ADV dub they at least understood how grammar worked
>>282101722it's not autistic it's just retarded and attention-seeking
>>282102397yeah, had to pre-order the limited print $500 collectors edition to get the ADV dub on blu-ray offically. Not that i watch Eva in dub anyway.
>>282102422the problem is that regardless of what you think of dubs the quality of them does overlap into the quality of the subtitles. So you can't just shrug and enjoy it because the sub titles will have the same bullshit just with less awful voices.
>>282102411i just want to watch eva with the best release easily on the comfort of my oled tv. but i am retarded ill give you that.>>282102447Yeah the subs suck shit but apparently studio khara insisted they do it themselves and thats why it feels so stiff.
>>282101722You could just buy an external drive. Also>sephirotic
are there any other Shinji scholars here tonight?
cherish boi, btw
>>282103184>>282103204Yes. It is likely.
>>282103184Yes
>>282096780It's not their business man

>>282099055All of the shit you said about Nadia is wrong.
>>282102611Thats how i've watched for years but most consoles/blu ray players/tv's hate subs or the way it was encoded. I just want to put the disc in, hit play and it works. good subs, fly me to the moon, and not relying on any service.Whats wrong with Sephirotic? It's been the goto for like 5 years
>>282096780Self loathing can lead to self sabotageWhich can lead to hurting others in the processHedgehog
>>282104772you would probably be better off just getting a little mini pc to use as a media center device
>>282096841Anno overdosed himself on philosophy when the reality is it doesn't take that much thought or intelligence to appreciate life or self worth. That's why "dumb" people are often the happiest people. Because they didn't waste their time overthinking. They live by the moment.
>>282099826This is completely correct and it's why Shinji trooning out is not as unrealistic as some of us might like it to be.
I love Rei. she is an angel.
Gay
>>282107792The happiest Shinji was in the entire show was when another man was showing him affection. Yes, it IS gay.
>>282105906Literally
>>282103897>>282104180<3
>>282107936>>282108080
>>282098410>Watch something funny like Nadia>Watch escapismo.No thanks. Rather wanna rewatch my depression slop.
>>282104734Huh... no, it isn't. Feel free to google it if you don't believe me.
>>282099217>Asuka never shows the slightest bit of affection toward him. She also uses sex against him.Worse, she comes to hate him and resent his existence after Leliel's suicide.>Everytime complaining about Shinji's personality, even complaining about it in front of Rei.>Growing hateful of him, Rei and Misato, but him the most, because he's the spitting image of everything she hates about herself.>It comes to apoint she can't stand living in the same house, bathing in the same bath, eating the same food, and even breathing the same air Shinji, Rei and Misato do.>Said conclusion made her run away to Hikari's house first, then when she returned, she engaged in a fight with Shinji, and him lashing out the truth about Kaji's whereabouts was the last straw for her. She met her own contempt against Eva 01 pilot by hearing a fed up Shinji lashing out the words she never wanted to hear.Asuka's shinji's foil. They can't coexist together because they are a reflection of each other's lowest points.
>>282109334>Asuka's shinji's foil.I don't think it's appropriate to say that implying a singular. Kaworu is Shinji's foil as well, although in a different way (Anno talks about this), he is an ideal that Shinji falls short of miserably. This is a big part of what makes him attractive and an attractive option for Shinji--despite being a lot more collected and effortlessly capable, he still shows Shinji compassion and unconditionally loves him.
>>282105643feeling conversations out through by your chest and not your head is something i had to be told
>>282096780>>282096905"People hate Shinji" comes from the fact that he is a mirror to the common anime fan (of the time), and common anime fans of that time hate mirrors.
>>282110206Well that alone wouldn't address it because people *still* hate Shinji, even people who aren't "anime fans" watch it and have the same feelings towards him.
>>282101555People who aren't anime fans also hate anime fans so it seems like it checks out to me.
>>282096780no, it's the other way around. shinji is not likable. he is a failure. he does not provide utility. yet, it is for precisely that reason that his arc completes when he begins to respect and like himself regardless of his extrinsic value. that's the whole point and why he was written this way. see >>282098589
>>282099217true but for me it will always be Asuka since I just want to comfort her.
>>282110224I don't feel that way, maybe the english dub gives that feeling? I watched first time in japanese.
>>282111110I've never seen the dub and Eva has had two different dubs. I think it's less of a matter of it being related to "anime fans" but people balking at "someone who doesn't like themselves."
>>282111073>073▶>File: Spoiler Image (1.86 MB, 1734x1157)>>>282099217>true but for me it will always be Asuka since I just want to comfort her.However she didn't want to be conforted, she wanted a father figure.It's ironic how the line Shikinami spat to Mari after she goodbye-confessed Shinji applies both her and Souryuu Asuka to a T. Souryuu's fixation with Kaji speaks a lot about her daddy issues, but Shikinami's issues were kinda similar, yet she got an adult who could look after her in the shape of Kenken.Souryuu's doomed to learn to coexist with the living memento of her issues.
>>282111342>However she didn't want to be conforted, she wanted a father figure.This sentence contradicts itself

Her issues in Rebuild are completely different from NGE so there it's not "ironic" just you trying ti make a retarded Kensuke shitpostsAsushinturds unironically think i watched the rebuilds more times than the OG series when it was actually the opposite. Watched the OG all these times, so i can be confident on my words about Asuka utterly despising Shinji's existence. Explain then why Asuka lost her will to live after Shinji yelled at her Kaji was dead? It's obvious they couldn't stand each other after Leliel.Outside of that,think on why in the last rebuild she told Mari "Shinji doesn't need a lover, but a mother" after goodbye-confessing him. It was Asuka projecting her need for a dad (given Shinji is a projection of Asuka's worst points and viceversa). She got it, now she can go fucking finger herself while projecting Kaji onto Kenken. Shinji got his mommywife after all, you can put the rebuild to rest and focus on the EvaTV+EoE, Anima and that Re:take doujin for all that i care.
>>282112477>AsushinturdsTold you it was the Kensuke schizo

>>282096780His greatest sin is not becoming the femboy slut he was always meant to be.
>>282113193Also I fully believe that Shinji's best romantic interest was Kaworu.Putting aside the fact that Kaworu is an inhuman entity programed to bring destruction (and also a boy), they'd probably be a pretty healthy couple.
>>282113384Nah dude I just got here. Someone else made a post calling out kensuke schizo in /csm/ >>282112968For the record, I think Asuka x Shinji is really entertaining and interesting, but (at least at the time the story takes place) they're both far too mentally unstable and neurotic to maintain a healthy relationship.

Shinji could be described as indecisive, meek, emotionally needy yet afraid of others... Do you think those traits apply to Asuka?Asuka's inner self wanted attention and felt her only worth was being Eva 02's pilot, if she lost that duty, she'll feel like there's nothing left for her. Shinji openly asking for affection and showing he's nothing without being Eva 01's pilot was the reflection of that side of Asuka she despises. That's why she grew disfainful, resentful and contemptive about Shinji.That's why she was a haughty egomaniac, because she tried desperately to hide that shit instead of pathetically begging for it like Ikari.

>>282117423Reminder: THIS IS GROOMING, the exact sort of thing all the Zoomers say they dislike. Kaworu is an Angel. He is older than the Earth and a being of unfathomable power. The imbalance of age and authority here is considerable, and his encounters with Shinji can easily be construed as manipulation of a younger partner by an older one.Now, I happen to find "problematic" pairings hot when they're done well, but it's funny that some of the same people who'd normally raise a fuss about this sort of thing don't for Kaworu/Shinji.

>>282099217>And she repeatedly tries to use sex to manipulate him>Asuka never shows the slightest bit of affection toward him. She also uses sex against him.Something else that those two also did that kind of ticked me off was that they also always took jabs of Shinji's masculinity to play on his insecurities and get him to do stuff he didn't want when most of the time his reasoning was sound and understandable. Saying stuff "you're a man aren't you" when he brings up a reasonable objection or concern.
>>282099217Here's my take:Shinji didn't sacrifice the world on purpose to save Rei, nor was it his fault or machination to begin with. So with that out of the way, if I were in his shoes, and I KNEW it'd fuck the world, I'd still do it to save Rei.Hell I'd push the doompedal extra hard to make sure none of those WILLE ingrates make it out alive.

>>282122433>Wasn't it Asuka who told him "men are supposed to fix things, not create problems"? I guess it's realistic writing, because a lot females use those tactics in real life, but I wish Anno didn't hate otakus so much.So Anno agrees with Asuka's saying or he's just trying to portray a realistic female persepctive?
>>282122510She actually says something along the lines of “Do you really think it’s your fault [that the water is hot].” It’s a criticisms of evasiveness as defense. We can assume this critique comes from Anno’s perspective.
