I just watched through this series for the first time (sans Rebuilds). I was able to follow the plot, more or less. I was even able to get the Instrumentality scenes and all the over-the-top religious imagery. But what the living FUCK was with the IRL scenes in EOE?
Filler to make it seem deep
Anus got very angry at all the death threats he received for the anime ending he put out and wanted to call out his fans as the stinky pathetic loser nerds that they areHe never got over it and he does it again in the rebuilds ending just not with rl footage that time
>>287298436doesn't necessarily have to represent a specific meaning
>>287298436its just there like most of the shit that happens in the movie, you need to ignore everything except the characters
>>287298436It was to speak and adress the EVA community directly. No other way than to show real people to get the massage through. I think it's clever. As much as I hate Anno for the Rebuilds and in general for being what money and society made him into, his magnum opus that consisted of NGE, EoE and Death^2 is everlasting in quality. Rebuilds are just Anno without motivation and creativity trying to ressurect his past magnum opus for a quick buck and to lead on his dedicated cash cows that are Eva fans while berating them for their taste that puts bread on his table. A hypocrite and a liar. His works are good, but the man is as rotten as they come.
>>287298511>Anus got very angry at all the death threats he received for the anime ending he put out and wanted to call out his fansThis is a myth, they got a bunch of positive fan mail as well
>>287298939Anno likes to make everything about himself. He's got a thing for overdramatic victimization of himself.
When Anno dies Eva will be allowed to be goodSays a lot that the only Eva thing Anno didnt touch is the best part of it (the manga)
>>287299230>Says a lot that the only Eva thing Anno didnt touchIt has M*ri. Anno's actual real life wife.
>>287299293That's another myth, Anno wasn't involved in Mari's creation and inclusion
>>287299518>Anno wasn't involved in Mari's creation and inclusionHe was until it backfired and he had to go on damage control mode. He also said that his wife and Mari have nothing to do with each other. If he had a problem with Mari's character from the beginning I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have let that character be included in the Rebuild movies. He just didn't expect people to dislike a character that doesn't fit into Eva.
>>287299813You're just making up bullshit
>>287299925Why would I? You can look up the interviews yourself.
>>287298939Don't reply to him, he's the schzio who really hates Anno. Last time he showed up he actually bitched about the Asuka short "ruining classic scenes" because they were spoofed in a comedic waycomedic way
Anno peaked with Gunbuster.
>>287300072Gunbuster doesn't have any appealing characters
