What made it so good?
nothing better had come out before so it was a surprise
Shinji fucking Asuka and Kensuke filming it
>>288880926Its trash, the same human psychology trope of animes was overused to death in early 2000s
>>288880926Asuka, the best girl.
>>288881079>Its>animes>phonepostingStop being brown.
>>288880926Half the characters were voiced by women named Megumi, that's the secret
>>288880926Talent and effort went into it; Anno was passionate about making the series, not just motivated by money like he is nowadays. The characters are very well written because he understood them, they used animation budget when necessary, the direction was very good, the music was exceptional. There was probably a big element of luck involved, but it's still one of the most soulful anime.>>288881079>sfaggot
>>288881044>nothing better had come out before so it was a surpriseLOTGH came out a decade before, though
>>288881252and logh is fujoshit, your point being?
The directing.
>>288881278>goonerWe got Android 18 a few years before Evangelion came out
>>288880926Kaji pumping and dumping asuka and her coping and going crazy the rest of the show
What the fuck happened with episodes 25 and 26?
>>288882105They lead into 27
>>288880926A wide array of things. like others have mentioned a combination of effort and right time/place. the show becoming a cult-anime, arriving in the late 90s, being able to download it, share it via DVD, an introduction for many, incorporating western culture in the form of religious iconography and being set in a futuristic globalistic world. It's a story which progresses, typical hero-tale, classic plot. Distinguishable girls which works for the guys watching it. Quality in animation and a memorable soundtrack/intro-piece.
>>288881080Perfect for Kensuke
>>288881079>the same human psychology trope of animes was overused to death in early 2000sAnd what do you think was responsible for that?
>>288883507Meant for >>288881074
Does the Kensuke tard have to shit up every Eva thread.
>>288883615Can we stop giving him attention by interacting with him and even talking about him?
>>288883774Wait, I just realized this is a word for word copy post. Nice try Kensuke cuckhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/286555805/#286586614
>>288883615>>288884437Kensuke cuck....
Would it still be as beloved if the movie never happened and the anime ending was the only ending?
>>288884480No, honestly it might have hurt Eva's staying power since it makes zero sense how they even reached that point. At least EoE shows the build up
>>288880926what is misato for over 9000
>>288885145misato best girl
>>288880926Anno is a hack and copied a significantly better artist (Gerry Anderson)
>>288880926The direction was good, the art was better. I mean just think about when that building got melted, or the rusted, dirty appearance of those flying things. And then they added a fiery redhead and put her in a skin-tight bright red outfit.
>>288880926combination of technical skill and emotional force
>>288880926>Good science fiction story that critiques a lot of both prior SF and actual religious notions.>Strong aesthetics and well-realized setting. The mix of contemporary Japan, high-tech Nerv design, and ero-guro divinity lurking underneath is top-notch.>Creative but physically weighty and coherent fights. Other mecha anime often struggle with this.>Never afraid to be weird.>Multigenerational cast with adult stories alongside the teenage ones.>Sexy girls.
>>288880926Soulful art and very lively relatable characters, nothing quite like the original eva
>>288880926Strong art direction and authorial passion. Everything else was done well, but those aspects put it over the top.>>288881252And it's not as good.>>288885188He copied a shitload of iconic works of fiction. That's how you make a masterpiece.
>>288880926>EVA>goodPick one.

I remember listening to moot's stream when he left 4chan and someone asked him "rei or asuka," I forget which he picked but I remember the line being something like "it's not even up for date she is empirically the better girl"Was anyone there and remembers?
