This was Anno mocking the otaku medium
And we didn't learn our lesson
And it backfired spectacularly.
>>286720539And in the end, he mocked himself as a director. EoE, Rebuilds... Pick up your slopshit.
>>286720539I wonder how the toast in the mouth became a thing. The oldest register I can find is Takahata coming late to work and always having a toast in his mouth. According to Miyazaki, Takahata made a paku-paku sound while eating so they gave him the nickname of Paku-san
>>286720539And it's the only watchable segment of that whole horrible show.
>>286720539O CRAYUP
It's called a joke you autist, he wasn't being ironic or subversive.
>>286720843Someone brought this up in a previous thread I saw at one point and he had looked into it. Apparently the entire stereotypical scene (girl running with toast in her mouth crashes into a boy around a corner) never happened in its entirety in any manga in a serious way. At least as far as anyone can tell. But some manga did do parts of it (running with toast, crashing into a boy while going to school, etc). And iirc people joking about it has been a thing as far back as the 70s.
>>286720984No he was always the hack who got big and he kept milking Eva because it was the only thing that made him money and will still milk it even now that Yoko Taro is making his own Eva project
>>286721028It memed itself into existence.
>>286720539Toast wife.
Is it just me or has there been an uptick in the last 5 years>the author HATES his fans and the ending is him literally telling us all to kill ourselvesschizoposting, across all anime and manga?
>>286721301People also often post that something is axed despite obviously not being the case just because they don't really like how it ended.
>>286720539Didn't it lead to a spin off manga based on this alternate reality?
>>286721253
>>286720843>>286721028>>286721253>Someone brought this up in a previous thread I saw at one point and he had looked into itSounds like me. I don't know if someone else did it too but I remember posting about it. I didn't need to do much research since various people have already researched this deeply. A likely candidate for the origin of the meme and the first manga to make that joke has been identified. Like you said, it's a composite of different parts. Different parts have appeared in shoujo manga going back since the 70s, and there are even shoujo manga with the full "girl running late to school crashes into a boy and they fall in love" scene but without the bread. There are manga characters who are shown running with bread in their mouths, so it's possible that these two things got conflated. The first known manga to depict the full scene is Saru demo Kakeru Manga Kyoushitsu in 1990, presenting it as a common encounter in shoujo, and from there, the idea spread.

>>286720843Wikipedia says it first appeared in Sazae-San.
>>286723646Anno summarized in one pic.
>>286721253>>286721028>>286721709>>286723360Oh, so something like> Damsel on the Railroad Tracks?https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/rethinking-the-origins-of-the-damsel-on-the-railroad-tracks
>>286720539Anno has never had a grasp on what he wanted to do with Eva. It especially shows with the giant gaps of time between the Rebuilds.
>>286720539No, you dipshit. That was a playful attempt at one last bit of fanservice.Every time you Evafags think Anno is mocking something, it's because you're too shallow to understand the idea of pastiche.
>>286723360that’s how joke scenes usually work. You don’t copy one scene from one show exactly, you take all the silly ideas from all the different shows you’re parodying and you combine them into one scene. This is basic Mel Brooks movie stuff, like why the Spaceball-1 is a really long star destroyer but has a Star Trek transporter>actually this is wrong because Star Trek and Star Wars are different!this is known as not seeing the forest for the trees
>>286721301I thought it was a meme until Tamers12345 took a fat shit on his Sonic Underground fans and revealed just how much he hated the people who supported him before he went mainstream. Now I believe it's a very, very real phenomenon.
>>286720539Why did he make this scene so well animated?It's like they put the budget here instead and the rest of the last 2 episodes have no budget.
>>286720539Actually, Anno made Evangelion TV as the first step of a mixed media project for a generic otaku galge ala Sakura Wars.
>>286720539>>T. Evafags does not understand about Hideaki Anno.
>>286720539No, retard. This is Anno telling you to stop watching edgy garbage and embrace Moe. It's the only way out of Matrix. This is the True and Only meaning of Eva.
>>286728916Fell For It Again Award
>>286720539>think to myself, "wow what a shit ending">get told by numerous people i have to watch these random movies that came out later for the TRUE endingwhy do people fellate this series? an anime is not good if it needs completely different installments to tell a coherent story
>>286733435>why do people fellate this series?Sunk costs and revisionism. Once the novelty wears off, it's just Japanese Star Wars.
>>286733435Do you feel the same way about anime adaptations that have several seasons, all with different names?
>>286734032yeah because if they have several seasons then its up to each installment to carry its own weight so to speak.if someone told me i had to watch gits solid state society to understand sac 2nd gig, id say thats retarded. thankfully, that is not the case and the thesis of 2nd gig speaks for itself while solid state society is just what happens afterwards
>>286733914>Japanese Star Wars.sounds amazing.
>>286734257>thankfully, that is not the case and the thesis of 2nd gig speaks for itself while solid state society is just what happens afterwardsYou could say the same for Eva. The series has an ending. Nobody's forcing you to watch End of Eva. And especially nobody is forcing you to watch the rebuilds, which are their own thing anyway.
>>286734458I've never watched the rebuilds, and didn't watch EoE for quite a while after the series. I never had any problems.
>>286734458yeah, but like i said in the other post ive been told by many people that i pretty much have to watch if i want the real ending or something to that effect
>>286723360
>>286723646>>286725582
>>286720539I remember a similar scene from Project A-ko, but I didn't realise it was a meme.
Anno is a bigger otaku than 99% of /a/.
>>286734824Perfect.
>>286734766Even an ant can draw manga
>>286734766>>286738886Since nobody else posted a readable version yet, I'll do it.
>>286740405Found an even bigger one

>>286734856TheWiru, is that you?
>>286741371dat sax
>>286729699Well, you shouldn't be self-inserting subhuman. That was obvious in 90s, but things got worse, so Anno gave you this special.
