Why did Asuka end up overtaking Rei as the most popular eva girl?
>>287721043she is cuter and a better character. that blue blob cant compete, as simple as that
>>287721043She's been my #1 since I watched Eva, but is that even true? I'm pretty sure the 11s still love Rei more.
>>287721043Best girl wins in the end, simple as.
>>287721111Asuka has been topping the polls for a while now
>>287721043The Rei copies that came up after evangelion are either exactly the same as Rei or better characters than herThe Asuka copies are mostly flanderized versions of her and almost always worse charactersThe result is Rei got outshined by what came after and now looks like a boring tropey character while Asuka now looks better in comparison to her competition
>>287721043She's very lively so it's easier to keep an accurate mental image of her than it is for rei, which ends up making her appeal more memorable. Rei simply doesn't react to most things, so her characterization is more dim.
Rei is bland; Asuka is brimming with personality. Rei is cute at best; Asuka is downright gorgeous. Rei is forgettable; Asuka is memorable. There are many reasons, but frankly everything I've said is irrelevant. The real answer is simpler: Asuka has way better porn.
>>287721720Most eva porn is awful in some way, on one side you have exquisitely drawn images that are completely OOC and downright offensive to the characters (looking at you, typo), and on the other you have ugly bastard visual diarrhea
I liked Asuka more in the original show.I liked Rei more in the Rebuilds.If I had to pick one, I think Rei is slightly better, but only because I adore her character archetype.The class president is still the best girl, regardless of the series.
>>287721883The rebuilds essentially sabotaged Asuka by changing her entire character up into the most generic tsundere imaginable for the sake of a gimmick twist that had zero payoff whatsoever
>>287721883>The class president is still the best girl, regardless of the series.Kyodai!
>>287721979I can see that. Rebuild Asuka wasn’t really that interesting as a character to me, and that small section of Rei learning how to grow potatoes in 4.0 actually made me give a shit about her as a person for the first time ever. The OG Asuka was actually compelling, and I especially liked her last stand in the EoE. But Rebuild Asuka was too much of a violent troglodyte for my tastes.
>>287721043>prime human teen pussy>toddler-aged lab grown meatI don't know anon, you tell me.
>>287721043cause they kept pushing her after the original broadcast ended. Death, Rebirth, True, Director's Cut, EoE etc and then the rebuilds.
>>287722405The rebuilds were mostly focused on Rei though
she hot so she win
>>287721043whore for adult cock
Rei is boring and bland.Misato is best girl though.
>>287723889the only kind of adult that she'd be attracted to is precisely the kind that wouldn't dick her
>>287721774Usuka...
>>287721637Hell, even Asuka herself became a bland Asuka clone
>>287721043many of the people watching find tsundere girls more appealing because theyve never actually had a gf before
>>287721720>>287721829idk ive lost gallons to the mogudan stuff
>>287721043Long hair girls are better than short hair girls
>>287721043Millennials wanted a submissive girl they could dominateZooms want a dominating girl they could submit tomicroplastics, it's that simple
>>287721043Rei is a clone of Shinji's mother and is plainly being fucked and abused by Gendoshe was never in the runninghow can people see the series and think rei was even a thing?
>>287727706I don't think it's that simple
>>287727899Neglected maybe with that run-down apartment but I don't remember any evidence of Gendo actually fucking her.
>>287721043Didn't anno himself say he kind of forgot to do much with Rei after Asukas introduction. Like Rei was just kind of there for the first 2/3rds of the anime til the last 3rd where shit started going crazy
>>287729375Pretty sure it was implied in the drafts but was ultimately cut from the final product
>>287727706Millennials were always about dominant girls bro have you never watched an 80s or 90s anime before? If anything Gen X are the ones who pushed their submissive waifu agenda down our throats
>>287721043Shit attracts flies en masse.
>>287721883>>287722029Men of absolutely good taste.
>>287730791that explains Rei's early popularity in japan
The Rebuild movies showed Asuka a lot of favoritism. Even if you don't like them, they gave Asukafags a lot of material.
>>287721658
>>287727706Millennial here. I've always liked Asuka way more than Rei.I think you're just retarded.
>>287721043Red heads appeal to the lowest common denominator. The steady rise of anime's popularity coincides with Asuka's victory sweeps in polls over the past 3 decades.
Schizophrenic millennial here, some days i'm an Asukabro and some days Im a Reichad
>>287731988Not at all. Asuka in the rebuilds is a hollow imitation lacking almost all the depth and appeal of the original asuka.
>>287731988by making her a significantly worse character and sidelining her entirely so Mari can have something to do? absolutely notthe rebuilds are reifag fanfiction
>>287722162I want Gendo to sell me a Rei clone as a human fleshlight
Why do Asuka fags always seethe at best girl Rei unprompted
>>287721637maybe because the subtler parts that add more nuance and human uncertainty to rei are only really in the foreground in the tv ending. even eoe and later entries kinda let it fall by the wayside
>>287721043By being best girl.
>>287721883This anon gets it right
I kidnap Rei and Asuka and bring them to my all white chamber, a torture room. I chose all white because of their beautiful pale skin and pink nipples. I take some hot tongs and burn Asuka's nipples. She shrieks in pain and threatens to kill me. So I knee her vag00 and laugh sadistically. Rei looks on. Rei is the most beautiful and brave girl in existence. She fights angels without fear but the perverted lecherous look on my face while i wear the panties and bras all over my naked body with an erection at the same time horrifies her in a way no angel could. I then reveal Shinji, Kaji and Gendo to them, naked with erections(I force fed them viagra but they do not know this) the look of horror on Asuka and Rei's faces as the men they admire are turned on by their humiliation. I then beat Asuka's ribs with clubs, electrocute Rei's cunt and nipples. I use an electrocuter in their anuses and they poo themselves a little. It smells awful. I force Gendo, Shinji and Kaji to smell it and force them to say it smells good. Rei and Asuka are horrified.I don't break them this time. I use recovery magic on them and clean them up so their shitty assholes and poop are gone. They are horrified in ways the angels could never subject them too. Asuka no longer has her complex about being an eva pilot, but now is completely submissive and maid like. Rei, while quiet as ever is shivering out of fear. I have broken their worlds harder than NERV, the Angels, Seele etc ever could. Seele then sends an army after me, I am a greater threat and menace than the angels ever could be. hahahahahaha
>>287734671put me in le screenshot for le /r/4chan this guy is !crazy!
>>287734730Lots of ZOOMED WORDS!
>>287721043Fans of Rei's archetype still eat good to this day with Kuudere'sWhere as Tsundere fans got to watch thier archetype enshitten and mutate into awful little gremlins. There's a reason Asuka and Tohsaka are still the main favorites.
cuz shes jus the cutest
>>287732011>Diogenes then turned to Alexander and said;You can get out of my sun.
>>287721829>looking at you, typoQRD? I try to avoid Eva porn like the plague.
>>287721043Rei was never popular. People just like the performative rivalry.
>>287734788>pretending the kuudere archetype hasn't enshittified from old Rei fans in the industry trying to recapture the magic without knowing why Rei worked as a character leading to a wasteland of "shy" girls who "want to be more confident" and being in love with MC as their whole personality
>>287721043Because NGE is a Naruto tier shonenslop anime that's only remembered for the porn and the porn material and Asker is a hypersexualized teen girl, so the greatest material on offer.
>>287736150Not really, Rei was the face of anime in japan for a while
>>287737980>Tourism board chooses the 'local' rather than the German American HapaI wonder why....
>>287734788Those gremlins only made up a small % of tsundere, and even then, most tsundere fans love Louise, Shana, and Taiga. Tohsaka and Asuka also owe a good chunk of their prominence to their respective franchises.
>>287721043peoples first exposure to tsundere
>>287740124if they're toddlers that have never watched anything that came out before the 90s maybe
>>287721043In the original series asuka was the "right" choice because she was a real person, while rei was a safe bail out. It was never a choice between asuka and rei, or even misato. Rebuilds fucked over asuka for this same reason, and the whole community banded together because rebuild asuka is an insult to her original version
