The internet is an interesting thing, because it perpetually allows a specific culture to exist unto infinity. We've had the Rei vs Asuka argument for 31 years now. We will likely continue to have it for the rest of our lives. Neon Genesis Evangelion will remain relevant for like a century after it was made. Will it still remain relevant, a century, two centuries later? Will people in the future still watch it and get into the Rei vs Asuka argument? Will this culture persist, and if so how long?

Imagine people three hundred years in the future watching Eva for the first time. It's still perfectly preserved. They learn the ear worm A Cruel Angel's Thesis. They see Shinji's struggles. They see Evas battle Angels. A series made centuries ago, still watched and discussed as if it were made just a few years ago.

Imagine.

Yui predicted this.

But I mean yeah, we still teach Shakespeare in school and that shit is over 400 years old. Or even older than that, people still read the Illiad/Odyssey, The Canterbury Tales, etc. I'm not gonna get into the debate of whether Eva is on the level of Shakespeare et al, but the point is there will undoubtedly be works of fiction from our time that are still remembered centuries from now. It's surreal to think about, but yeah.

I know a lot will disagree but I think if any anime can achieve that status, it's probably Eva. It's just as rich and layered as any of the great movies of the century. It's not just the Rei vs Asuka debate, people are still analyzing and debating the meaning of scenes 30 years later. No reason they won't still be in another 30.

Ayanami was more popular in Japan up until 3.0 while Asuka was more popular in the West. Now, on both sides of the pond it's a toss-up between Ayanami, Asuka, Misato, and Kaworu. /a/ has a vocal contingent of Asukafags, but you get a pretty good variety of picks in Eva threads.

>>
>>283526383
not that much to elaborate on. I've tried to open myself up to people, had good times and made connections, then been hurt, and closed myself off. then started to open myself up again, rinse and repeat. I've been pretty closed off for the last couple years but I'm starting to come out of it again, slowly, cautiously.
I've watched Eva several times over the years and always take something different away from it. sometimes, it has inspired me to try and let people in. but it's easier said than done. nowadays, I think that's pretty in line with the message of the show. it's worth trying, but even knowing that you can't avoid being hurt sometimes. it's a struggle, and you're going to have good times and bad times - lots of bad times - but you keep trying anyway, because what else can you do.

Ritsuko is undoubtedly the worst girl, though.

I always laugh at all those fanfics where Shinji goes to live with her instead, and she's treating him kindly or even seducing him. No, Ritsuko would abuse Shinji and make him the object of her terrible perversions. She only barely interacts with Rei but we know she treats Rei like shit.

Anon she treats Rei like shit because she's more privy to the secrets of NERV than Misato is, she's aware Rei is a clone and Gendo favors her, despite fucking Ritsuko on the side. It's the same thing her mother went through.

Asuka is someone who has no desire and no will to better herself, choosing willingly to trap herself in a system that will only lead her to her own destruction.

Shinji is someone who only makes Asuka worse.

Can't agree there, I think the dub is goofy as hell. But maybe it's just because I'm so used to the original voices that I can't imagine the characters voiced as anyone else. To each their own.

Asuka has become the face of the franchise and always gets top billing in promotions and collabs so I think its pretty clear who won
>>
>>283551949
Asuka is for angry BPD sex, not wife material.

Casual Asuka with the eye bandage reminds me of some other character, but I can't place it. She's just this random JK who inexplicably has bandages over her eye. Do not say Rikka.

Correct, and Anno is forever based for doing it

Yeah that spammer was mentally ill but maybe some of you retards should've taken him as a sign to move on from this franchise? Nope, another 30 years over arguing over the canonical losers...well at least Eva threads are usable now

Asuka is for holding against your chest until she feels calm.

Rei?

The og dub starts a little shaky and gets good as the show gets more serious. Great performances in EoE.

Maybe I should finish that alt LN series by the mechanical designer

It got kinda silly (I remember unit 01 punching a dinosaur) but there were some cool details about how stuff worked in the setting

It really is. I feel like it kind of gets lost in the noise between the memes and heated discussions, but Eva's direction is superb.

I wonder what would the fan reception be if they went full Legend of Korra on this one in Rebuilds, at the end of the story
>>
>>283572972
It would be a shitshow, just like Korra.

>>283535605
Please don't lie.

>>283552192
Rei would, though.

>It's been 31 years
The 8th episode aired on November 22, 1995.
So more like 29 years, almost 30.
