Plot is actually incredibly simple
>>283426721yea just like flcl
>>283428088There's no plot in flcl
>>283426721
>>283426721Fuck off.Black Moon and White Moon are mentioned once or twice.Spear of Longinus inexplicably returns back from moon for Instrumentality.Yui's motivation is never given even a slight bit of attention.Soul transfer is treated like 'it just works'.Gendo somehow having a mini Adam in his palm.Eva withholds most of its lore for a long time, which creates mystery and intrigue but it's not simple or easy to piece together unless you have data sheet from a game at hand which contains most of the show's lore. The primary draw of the show is its characters and their introspection. Other stuff is just for aesthetics and to create atmosphere.
>>283429722It all makes sense if you just go to Evageeks bro
>>283429722>The primary draw of the show is its characters and their introspection.Really? For me it's the brilliant interplay between science, warfare, fantasy, prophecy, cosmic horror, and the human condition as defined by social, sexual, and mortal drives.
>>283431032Also the blue haired girl who embodies all of what you mentioned.
>>283431086Same but the red one.
>>283431145Red doesn't embody those things thoughbeit, which is why she is the 2nd child, while Rei is the 1st. Numba wan, if you will.
>>283426721False, you need to have 195 iq to understand its complexity. All the things that remain unexplained are like that on purpose so the audience creates a deep plot in their heads. Thats a genius move by anno, you just dont understand it
>>283431229Oh, right, the cosmic horror. Well, I don’t need that really.
>>283431385You come here, and you dare say this.On the very eve of halloween.
Ken ken is fucking her tonight
>>283432557Fuck you and your AI Slop
>>283432685Scared ya good didn't it
>>283432743No, that's actually shit. You just don't know to recognize actual good art.
>>283426721>t.anno
>>283431385Asuka absolutely does represent cosmic horror, just in the opposite direction. Instead of being a celestial monster herself, she falls prey to other celestial monsters and becomes a victim of cosmic horror.
>>283433469She got what she deserved
>>283429722In the original lore before episode 24 and EoE, Kaji basically give Adam's embryo to Gendo who was recovered in Antarctica and the creature has grown up to become a white giant again in the basement of NERV, also Kaworu was supposed to be the angel Tabris and not the vessel of Adam, and the giant Adam in terminal dogma became Lilith.At the last time, Anno or someone else changed it for some reason and they don't cared about it. This is why it all became so confusing. They also needed an excuse to know why angels are always attacking NERV so they started pretend that Adam/Lilith was always here.
Sex Rei will consume your penis
Yes, the final part of my plan involves breed with my Adam hand a clone of my wife when she was a teen.
>>283434806>>283434756>>283434411What was kino about the original Evangelion was that the characters were framed like people who had to work with what they had at their disposal. It's not that they didn't plan or have ambitions, but they had realistic plans and were opportunistic.Gendo wasn't some mastermind planner that planned every single step or action everyone else did, he worked for himself and his own goals.SEELE, who were extremely resourceful and capable, still rely on striking when the iron is hot when given the chance. They too know what they want, but they will settle for less or approximately what they want if given the chance.It's not until later Gendo and SEELE are flanderized into Code-Geass tiers of KEIKAKU DOORI.No, look no further than Rei for this.Rei wasn't the product of some grand master plan to reunite with his wife during instrumentality. Rei was a happy accident. Kinda. They tried to bring Yui back, also into a suitable replicated body, but her soul would simply not leave the EVA. Who they got instead.... was Lilith, who became Rei. It was not his plan, and he had to keep it a secret from everyone. As a result, not even fucking SEELE knows.So the relationship between Gendo and Rei also becomes fascinating, as Gendo now has a daughter that he can pin his hopes on. This too wasn't some master plan, and Gendo actually did come to care for his new daughter (sorry Shinji), which he didn't plan either.
>>283435074I had never thought about this concerning Rei. I was still with the interpretation that she was an angel hybrid created with Adam (changed for Lilith) DNA and soul but I guess this is too much EoE influenced.It's interesting to reinterprete Evangelion again and realize EoE changed the characters into over the top versions of themselves. Kaworu was planned to be introduced earlier (like in the manga) but Anno was out of time, so they put him into only one episode with also the sudden changes in the lore, preparing the setting for EoE.
>>283435365Oh, she is an Angel hybrid created with Adam (implied earlier in the series through standard Anno flashcuts, but then made canon as Lilith later in the series and EoE). Mankind doesn't have the tech to clone people willy nilly so they made Rei the same way they made the EVA's. Using the flesh of Angels to make things grow.Speculation goes, on my part, that they applied Yui's DNA to Lilith, and out grew Rei. Lilith's human avatar.
>>283435074Gendo acts like an absolute retard in the first few episodes, there is no guarantee that EVA 1 will awaken against the angel, he just call shinji at the last second and treat him like absolute shit, if shinji wouldnt fall for the injured rei guilt tripping cheap trick and just tell gendo to fuck off he and the rest of humanity were fucked.No dummy system, rei is too injured to win, no pilot available, he just gambles everything on shinji being a hero, and shinji was never given training like asuka, if EVA 1 wouldnt have gone berserk i dont think shinji could have kill it.Gendo could have have a nive plan B if he was nice enough with shinji and gave him a couple months of training before the angel arrive, just pretrend that you like him and have misato take care of him but nooooooo just be a fucking retard with your KEIKARU DOORI
>>283435640That's the thing. He doesn't have a grand keikaku doori, he's playing things by ear.He's not some mastermind that can fix his own problems, in this case being a shitty father who can't face his own son after he abandoned him.He's human, realistic. A failure of a person, but he gets shit done where it counts and that's what upper management appreciates.The situation at the start is desperate because Angels are coming, and they aren't ready, and desperate times calls for desperate measures. They didn't know EVA01 would activate, but they tried.It's a far cry from the garbage that is neo-neon-genesis-evangelion, which is poisoned by Asuka shippers and low iq degenerates who masturbate to Misato and how LE EPIC GENDO PLANNED EVERY THING AND SO DID YUI ecks DEEE
>>283435581According to the original lore, what is inside Eva 00 and why was Rei so depressed? It's a trauma caused by the hag killing her?
>>283435756There is nothing wrong in masturbating on hot Titsato.
>>283435843Applying the same interpretation as Adam -> Lilith, then - absolutely nothing.What's inside EVA00 is then simply the prototype for the dummy plug system. That is, a neural imprint of Rei herself. This becomes clear when you watch the the Shinji/EVA00 test episode, where the technobabble with EVA00 highlights the dummy system.The "Rei" in the EVA is simply an imprint of Rei herself, something that's like Rei but not her at all.
>>283435958There is, because Misato is fucking boring to jerk off to. Between the literal billions of adult women out there, you choose someone extremely boring.
>>283436008Ritsuko is the worst.
>>283435984Eva 00 seems to be enraged against Ritsuko. The dummy plug system recorded Rei 1's memories or its just an interpretation?
It is simple
>>283436099It doesn't seem enraged against Ritsuko at all.That is purely, 100% Ritsuko's own paranoia talking. She is paranoid because she knows what's going on with the dummy system, what's in it, and she considers it "filthying her hands" in her talk with Maya.
>Everyone here overanalyzing everythingThe plot:>We tried to clone God>It didn't go well
>>283436456The overanalyze truly started with the end of the show (and following EoE, but its essentially the same ending).
>>283436954I didn't ask
Yui's "plan" is something coming from nowhere and just turn Yui into the biggest bitch of the show.
>>283438766Yui's "plan" doesn't exist.
>>283438925According to what we see, she planned herself to get absorbed inside Eva 01, she has tell it to Fuyutsuki only. Her purpose is stopping the SEELE plan to become a memorial of humanity.
>>283438996She has no elaborate plan besides getting inside EVA01.The memorial of humanity is again, a consequence of everyone's actions, not the goal of it.
>>283439170I am not sure at all about this, but wasn't she saying this to Fuyutsuki in "Death & Rebith" during a flashback?
>>283439345She got into the EVA willingly.She planned to stay there to mess with SEELE's plan.She did not have the outcome figured out.
