watched it for the first time in theaters and it was absolute cinema, though weirdly there was nobody at my viewing.i've never had any piece of media penetrate my heart like this has. it's like it was speaking directly to me. It was like a religious experience. i like that the AT fields for humans is just the walls we put up to prevent the hurt that comes from letting others in, and that instrumentality breaks those walls down and the loneliness with it, but at the cost of one's individuality.also, rei best girl
Fuck Shinji
>>289755015>though weirdly there was nobody at my viewingsame thing happened to me when i was at the premiere of GQuuuuuuX here in germany
>>289755015>i like that the AT fields for humans is just the walls we put up to prevent the hurtI don't. That's so fucking gay.
>>289755015>absolute terror because they're afraid to connect!!You cannot be serious, that's the gayest most theater kid thing ever. If that was Anno's intention then NGE automatically loses one point on a scale from 1-10.
>>289755922That is unironically the entire premise of the show. Hedgehog's dilemma. The closer you get to someone, the more they can hurt you. Everyone wants to be loved, to be close, but nobody wants to be hurt. Will you stay lonely but safe or will you embrace fear and the risk of pain in order to be with others? Every person must make that choice.If you missed this despite the show literally spelling it out at least 3 times you must be illiterate or retarded or something.
>>289755922Bro literally stole my post to troll.
>>289755015Reminder.
>>289755932deep if you're 14 i guess.
>>289756079You know what else is deep if you're 14?Asuka's pussy.
>>289755082Asuka...
>>289756154I'm in my 30s and more interested in reis butthole
>>289756164Unc is too worn out to handle with Asuka's fiery FLAMIN' HOT® German pussy
>>289756079You haven't watched anything deeper since Eva. Prove me wrong.inb4: uh I-I've read D-Dostoevsky
>>289756073Solaris didn't create LCL seas.
Was Rei's initial popularity because she kept getting injured? Its kinda hot watching her pant and moan in pain desu
>>289757769Japan was in the "Lost Decade" after the economic bubble burst, with low national self-esteem. A Nihon Keizai Shimbun column explicitly tied empathy for Rei (a "wounded girl who climbs onto an artificial humanoid and silently fights her enemies") to that era. She symbolized quiet resilience amid trauma, becoming an idol figure embodying unconscious feelings. This "bandaged Goddess" image resonated deeply, with reports of over a million dedicated fans by the mid 2000s
>>289757769Obcious parallels to jesus, so obvious it barely needs to be mentioned. Long physically suffering, dies, and then reincarnates and becomes the "Son of Man" the book of Daniel talks about which carries otu the apocalypse and final judgement. Anno somehow had enough restraint to not have Rei herself be crucified.
>>289757808>A Nihon Keizai Shimbun column explicitly tied empathy for Rei (a "wounded girl who climbs onto an artificial humanoid and silently fights her enemies") to that era.Oh man, does anyone have that article? It seems a key part of anime history. Imagine the Wall Street Journal saying a cartoon character is a key part of national identity?
>>289757808So basically Japan needed Jesus >>289757812 but they're too autistic so they made a false idol?
>>289757808At least they seem to have picked up that Rei is in fact a determined person who is fine with suffering and self-sacrifice. A lot of people think she's some "moe" character who is just all cutsey.
>>289757821I think it's an article from 2007, I'm still looking for it.
>>289757769You stole my fucking gimmick.
>>289757927Shut up nerd
>>289757808>with reports of over a million dedicated fans1 million fans vs 1 sociopath
>>289757950I bet you aren't like me, you just want to cause rei minor pain. Me, I'm hardcore, I'll burn her nipples with hot tongs until she pees herself and goes catatonic. You aren't shit.
>>289758047That is some baby shit, niggerHere I thought you were talking about skinning her alive and then feeding her bits of her flesh before decapitating her.Ahahaha "hot tongs". Are you gonna give her insane purple nurples too? Fuck outta here kid
>>289755015You had me until>rei best girl
>>289758329Not even Asuka thinks she's better than Rei.
>>289758385>thinksDoesn't need to think when she KNOWS she's objectively better than that soulless doll. Cope and seethe while enjoying Gendo's sloppy seconds, faggot.
>>289758457How could a mutt ever compete with a pure nipponjin goddess?
But the question is, Rai or Asuka?
>>289759331Rei is kind and professional. Asuka is mean and unprofessional.
>>289755015Eva should have been yuri. No one likes Shitji
>>289760601Hmm~ I love that boy quite a bit.
