Question: I saw many video essays saying Evangelion is a very intellectual and thematically deep work and the creator was actually a critic of tropes in anime designed to appeal to otaku and was interested in taking it further as an art. I’m not a anime fan but they inspired me to watch the film but I’m confused about this part. What is the thematic meaning is scene trying to portray? Isn’t it inappropriate to portray a teenage character this way, what audience is it meant to appeal to? Thank you.

>>283593899Evangelion is garbage and whoever says otherwise is lying to you

Imagine the smell. Just breathing it in as you are driven into the wall as those toes mash into your face.
>>283593899>I saw many video essaysstopped reading right therego watch the actual anime before posting retarded shit

>>283593899Your average Western video essayist likely doesn’t realize that these critiques are, in fact, part of the genre conventions of the real robot subgenre of mecha. Depressed child soldiers fighting in an apocalyptic nightmare, the course of which is far beyond their ability to control or direct, goes all the way back to the original Gundam show in the 70s

>>283593899People that think eva is intellectual dont watch anime and probably didnt watch eva
>>283599603God I wish that were me
>>283599685It's probably more intellectual than your average isekai slop though
>>283593899>watching the films without watching the TV show first>watching the films at all
>>283593899It's not deep You want "Serial Experiments Lain"

>>283593899Evangelion is simultaneously critical of otaku pandering and anime tropes and pandering to otaku who buy the merchandise. Yes you can do both at the same time, yes it makes Anno a hypocrite, no nobody cares.>Who does this appeal toMe but I still prefer Rei
>>283593899Hmmmm I think you might need to watch a couple more video essays to find out.
>>283593899>I’m not a anime fan but they inspired me to watch the filmGet the fuck off of my board
>>283593899It's not deep. Never was, even when it was not just a cash grab. They throw 100 things on the wall and hope something sticks. The fan boys do the heavy lifting can connect the dot into something that makes kinda sense and if something doesn't make sense they blame themselves for not getting it.
>>283593899Anyone have the webm of this scene? it's been a while
