You guys treat Shinji like a beta, but he had the hottest bitches in anime obsessed with him
>>290314262Misato, Asuka and Rei owe me a simultaneous sloppy blowjob.
>>290314368
>>290314262If nerv wanted him motivated couldn’t they get him addicted to pervetin or something and use that as a bargaining chip?
Well, two of them anyway.
>>290314262Rei isnt obsessed with him at all or at any point in the story, Asuka is retarded and grows to depend on him to vent her frustrations and budding sexuality on, but doesnt like him. Misato is an extremely negligent "parent" and only thinks about shinji when he needs to do Eva stuff, otherwise(at home) he's just a talking headpity bump
>>290317341that’s completely false and bait. Misato wanted to fuck Shinji to snap him out of his sadness. Rei offered him a way to escape Instrumentality. Asuka loved Shinji, you only have to look at the Director's Cut scenes
>>290314262Are we desperate enough to fetishize nagging now? Really?
>>290314262>the hottest bitches in animeThis is Evangelion, not MHA.
>>290314262Only people who think that are cuck lovers from Peru who's favorite character is Kensuke. You know the guy who watches Shinji fuck Asuka
>>290314262Then why is he homeless?
>>290314262>hottest bitches>ReiI mean, 2/3 is still pretty good.
>>290318044>not finding Rei hotSkill issue.
>>290318110She really isn't.
>>290318233>tripfag proving my point
>>290317731Misato's coping mechanism is fucking things. Just because she thinks getting him laid will make him stop(justifiably) moping about the situation he's in doesnt mean she cares
>>290318815your argument is complete shit and it's obvious you're either just baiting or you straight up didn't watch the show. Misato clearly cared about Shinji like, a lot. In the early episodes, she literally asks him to live with her because she doesn't want some messed up 14 year old kid to be all alone
>>290318953gendo told her to do it, obviously
>>290319462no
>>290319462Gendo is good and loving father.
>>290319508>my boss never told me to watch over you and house the other eva pilot, its a total coincidence>>290319516shut up, Gendo
>>290317341This is the correct analysis.
>>290319641>>290319540no, samefag
>>290314262Humiliation ritual
>>290319688OOPS
>>290319838Kaworu wouldnt do that
>>290314262>You guys treat [insert random harem/romcom protagonist] like a beta, but he had the hottest bitches in anime obsessed with himThere's no contradiction. They're treated as betas because of how they behave in this predicament.
Shinji ain’t even half as irresistible to women as Tenchi is.
>>290320297*probably
>>290314262
>>290320070>>290319943>>290320297Denying the official scripts and the interpretation provided by the work itself is the mark of someone with schizophrenia. You’re either a kaworufag or a kensukefag, neither deserves a say in eva threads.
>>290321196you're one pretentious little faggot aren't you?
he was a betawas homosexually confused, despite the women in his life, from a crumb of social interaction
>>290321267>>290321261He wasn't homosexual, or bi. I am here to tell you what really happened in eva through an extensive analysis of every word from the scripts, interviews, and more. Your headcanon is a delusion and doesn't deserve to be heard
>>290321304>I am here to tell you what really happened in evaYup. He bangs Mari.
>>290321304art is open for interpretation. you dont need to read a billion auxiliary texts to understand eva, dumbass. multiple people will come out with different perspectives shaped by who they are as individuals. if you dont understand this you are genuinely retarded
>>290321304>hasn't watched director's cut>doesn't understand NGEyikes
>>290321338>>290320297Hey the Kensuke schizo is here. I saw you seething in the somber thread
>>290321338In an alternate universe, perhaps. In the original series, he ends up with Asuka, accepting both himself and her in a broken world. A rather beautiful ending, by the way
>>290321421i agree with this interpretation (as an asukafag)
>>290321196what official scripts? what interpretation? Rei never shows she cares about shinji. Asuka never shows any sign ONCE that she loves shinj, jsut sexual frustration and anger. Misato is objectively a negligent parent as shown by her letting Shinji jsut keep fighting angels and dealing with all his trauma himself. I dont know what 'canon' you think you watched but this is literally shown in the show and movie
>>290321439It is not an interpretation, that is actually how it happens.
>>290314262Asuka is obsessed with Kensuke though
>>290321444>Rei never shows she cares about shinji.Also, she's his mom.
>>290321469right, and shinji isn't a fag.
>Asuka never shows any sign ONCE that she loves shinj,I have now horse in this race >>290321476She does need someone to film
>>290321476kek she has his dong in her mind
>>290321506>>290321476Kensuke schizo brown melty with samefag
>>290321444>Rei never shows she cares about shinji.This is false. Rei cared enough to pick Shinji over Gendo. Besides the whole Instrumentality scene shows a great amount of care she has for him.
>>290321505> The special short explores alternate timeline scenarios and meta-narrative possibilities
>>290321476factual, canonical even
>>290321544big whoop, Gendo is an asshole who pulls reis out of the tank on a daily basis and tells them to go fuck his son or fight eldritch horrors. Of course she'd pick the geek who's just shy and spastic
>>290321544did you watch end of eva in theaters? that shit was sick, i still think about that experience.
>>290321549>>290321506>>290321476FYI, that doesn't work when you start samefagging >>290321570
>thread was chill>Kensuke schizo doing is schizo samefagging >people seething at the short>Kensuke schizo is still brownBased
>>290321587youre really bad at this
>>290321500So you don't forget, you damn schizophrenic.
>>290321614>>290321570>1 min apartYou're really bad at this
>>290321637i am an actual diagnosed schizophrenic, do not compare me to these mere posers, my power level of delusion is far greater and expansive. also that's sadamoto's personal interpretation, anno had nothing to do with that drawing probably so it isn't canon.
>>290321444
>>290321652>>290321614>he's seethimg>also 1 min aaprt
>>290321674The end
>>290321678and what is she saying right before that
Reminder that Kensuke schizo is a Rwifag and has been IP wiped spamming and spamming while also posting Rei and Reishin
>>290321710eh i guess i glossed over the part about anno's supervision of that illustration. HOWEVER, shinji is clearly gay for kaworu, two things can be true at once. it isn't a difficult concept to grasp
>>290321723the last rebuild was really a travesty for eva threads
Unlike Kensuke schizo headcanon samefagging this was made by Anno
>>290321756Hm. Wonder why.
>>290321767>literally an AU what-if short
>>290321380>>290321342the Director's Cut scenes were literally Anno telling you, 'You're a fucking idiot, so I'm going to spell out my characters more explicitly for you.' But Eva fans are so goddamn dense that they had to release a whole short film just to make it even clearer: 'You're a fucking idiot, that's why I'm making sure you finally understand what I was trying to say
>>290321767>this was made by AnnoSo was Rebuild. Your point?
>>290321756They got better after the short came out for a time it's just the retard gotten worse with his Kensuke schizo after the hype for it died down
>>290321744he's not gay, you schizo tranny. Anno stated that he didn't feel carnal desire for Shinji. That's true too, lolhttps://17th-angel.tumblr.com/post/62760437979/anno-hideki-long-interview-part-1-i-think-that
>>290321792that shit is gay though, why would you need to listen to the director of a work to form your own thoughts about it? what happened to death of the author? anno probably only made that shit because japanese otaku were nuts when it came to eva. otherwise it would've been completely contrary to artistic interpretation as a concept, like david lynch professed. director's commentaries remove the magic.
>>290321544>>290318953>>290314262EVA's characters are all fucked up and you need to realise that these "bonds" Shinji had with them all were so weak and twisted that he ended up letting the world end because they failed to support him when it counted until it was too late. They only pulled him out of Instrumentality AFTER it started. If you look at any other piece of fiction, friendships between characters are nowhere near as tainted or fragile as the dynamic between the EVA pilots and Misato. Friends don't bully each other like Asuka did, compared to even other tsunderes across anime she was pretty extreme, to the point I hesitate whether there's even a "dere" in her character. And when it comes to "big sister" types, well let's just say Misato was no Yoko. Shinji having no good role models or friends to pull him out of his rut is part of his tragedy.
>>290321843why the fuck would you link to a tumblr post while calling others trannies?
>>290321637>A hopeful futureThere is no life left on EarthThey are fucked
>>290321875Rei and Kaworu were the only ones who truly supported Shinji throughout the show and in EoE when he was in Instrumentality. They're the only ones who loved him unconditionally.
>>290321913end of eva final scene could be interpreted as a metaphor. to me anyway that's what it is.>>290321923i dont know if it's healthy to obsess over another anonymous poster as much as you clearly do.
>>290321859Death of the author is the single most retarded piece of shit I've ever heard, holy shit. Those scenes, and the movie itself. were actually made to clear up fan misconceptions; just like the short film was created to stop the retards from coming up with their wild theories about "alternate universes.">Incorrect interpretations, like thinking Asuka was primarily interested in Kaji, which wasn't the case at all, she just saw him as an idealized father figure
>>290321875>Shinji having no good role models or friends to pull him out of his rut is part of his tragedyKarowu is singlehandedly the best character in all of Eva
>>290321941>>290321845>>290321644>>290321570Kensuke pedo seethe
>>290321928>rei>supported shinjiI know you think her telling gendo to fuck off and doing whatever the fuck was happening in the Tang makes up for her 24 episodes of indifference, but she did fuck all to help himand I say this as someone with Rei as a waifu
>>290321946Was Kaworu really trying to destroy Earth? Wasn't he betraying Shinji then? And how the fuck did he infiltrate NERV if he was an Angel then?
>Shinji isn't gay or homosexual, he's straight and the series revolves around that>Shinji is a kid with way too many balls who chose real life over a perfect fantasy>Shinji ends up at the end of the world with a beautiful 14 year old german girl who loves himjust leave him alone already, you bastards, he's suffered enough. He's happy now
>>290321943>like thinking Asuka was primarily interested in Kaji, which wasn't the case at all, she just saw him as an idealized father figurelolLMAO even
>>290321943can you really call yourself a fan of a work if the only way you can reliably form an opinion (one that you think is the objectively true one) is by reading an author's direct commentary on a work? you seem like the type of fag to watch a fucking video essay in order to "fully understand" a book after reading it, because you're too much of a soulless husk to form an actual individual opinion by yourself.
>>290322006Asuka is fucking horrible to him bro, if you like Shinji why on Earth would you want him to end up with her?
>>290322006>>Shinji is a kid with way too many balls who chose real life over a perfect fantasycanonically false, btw
>>290322006>a beautiful 14 year old german girl who loves him"I feel sick".
>>290322029Not him but Asuka wants motherly love, but she masks it as a desire for romantic love Misato wants romantic love, but she tries to mask it as her delivering motherly love
>>290322050Wrong image. This is canon as said by Anno
>>290322072>she wants motherly love>thats why she tries to sleep with a man who doesnt care about her>also she doesnt want romantic love from the guy her own age who she literally teases sexually and romantically all the time
>>290321973>I know you think her telling gendo to fuck off and doing whatever the fuck was happening in the Tang makes up for her 24 episodes of indifference>and doing whatever the fuck was happening in the TangThe fact that you didn't understand what was hapenning in ''the Tang'' gives you no right to disagree.>but she did fuck all to help himShe gave him a choice which was something no one could or did. Everything else was up to him since it's about his growth. There was nothing else for her to do in his situation.
>>290322073In an alternate timeline. One where he's not slamming Mari into a mattress every night.
>>290322073did you even watch the short or did you just see that picture and think it was made into and episode 27/rebuild 5?
>>290322109right, like you know what was happening
>>290322130>Epsiode 27Did you watch the short>>290322145Jannies Kensuke pedo is ban evading
>>290317341Did you miss the part where Rei outright said she wished to become one with Shinji?
>people seething about Asushin>Kensuke schizo thinks everyone is retarded and doesn't know his retarded "both sides are bad shit" isn't workingMan, the moment you mention Kensuke schizo the thread truns into this
>>290322174Yeaaaaaah...she didn't mean sex. She meant turning into Tang.
>>290322130>episode 27anon...
>>290322245yes? EoE isnt 27 and the rebuilds are rebuilds
>>290322029In that same scene, she doesn't even mention sex. More than that, she says something as childish as 'kisses or whatever it is adults do,' basically. She's so desperate to be an adult that she wants the only male figure she has to do something. The thing is, Kaji is not a pedophile, and he knows that if he had done something, Asuka would probably have killed herself. She wasn't ready to be an adult, or sex. What's more, in that scene, you don't even see her damn breasts, and the color white represents innocence. You're retarded. If you can't understand such a simple work, you're retarded.Another scene we have is when Azrael invades Asuka's brain, and there the figure of Kaji appears, but she sees him as a distant figure, she knows he's not her equal. But when Shinji appears, fuck, she explodes like a bitch: 'You won't even hold me!' What's more, in the Japanese itself and its translation, she was DEMANDING that Shinji hold her. As if it were something he should have done by default. And the poor girl gave Shinji millions of hints things he didn't pick up on
>>290322277wait you actually don't know?
>>290322235It's the same thing
>>290322282bro she literally says kissing and beyond. What do you think she was talking about?
>>290322322Brown people shouldn't watch complex works. see you
>>290322360excellent non-answer
>>290322043Shinji and Asuka are children who were raised as weapons. To say Asuka was just mean to him is bullshit; throughout the series, she put him through a lot of trials. Shinji was a piece of shit to her too, especially in EoE, but they still get a good ending. They both end up happy, by the way.
>>290322380That’s the manga, Sadamoto is a reifag It’s irrelevant, though, because even in that version, they appear together in a final scene.Here I got the literal texts in kanji.Asuka: アスカ「助けてぇー助けて加持さーん！！」Asuka asks Kaji for help because she sees him as the adult figure, the father figure, the only person she believes can save her. It's a desperate cry.Asuka: 落ち込んでいるアスカアスカ「何にもしない、私を助けてくれない！抱きしめてもくれないくせに！！」Response to Shinji after seeing him having more importance than Kaji himself, when they invade HER HEART, this is important, Shinji himself is there, even though her pride avoids itIt's not a question. It's a DEMAND. An accusation. Asuka is saying: "How is it possible that you won't even hold me?! You should!" As if it were something obvious that Shinji should have done by default
>>290314262>middle-aged drunk>mother clone>abused BPD girlthey're all shit choices
>>290322103Unironically yeah, she wanted Kaji to dote on her like a dad. I should've said parental love. She rejected Shinji, yeah. She hated him and belittled constantly.
>>290317341Bait.Rei does love Shinji. Although she is cold, during Instrumentality she chooses Shinji over Gendo and gives him the chance to choose his own destiny. Her love is unconditional (even though she is a "clone of his mother")Asuka does love Shinji, but she is so insecure and traumatized that she doesn't know how to express it. All she wanted was for him to hold and accept her
>>290322798>during Instrumentalityand what about before that, when she does absolutely nothing to show it?>that she doesn't know how to express it. All she wanted was for him to hold and accept heragain, she does literally nothing to show it other than being an extremely awful tsundere
>>290322798How is it bait, that is a reasonable opinion you'd get from watching the series and how they treat him. The truth is that Shinji didn't have anyone. He didn't need a woman, he needed a fucking dad or older brother.
>>290314262>he had the hottest bitches in anime obsessed with himwasn't he a homo tho?
>>290322866Rei is basically a god trying to figure herself out in a teenager's body. Asuka is just an immature, traumatized 13 year old girl. One of the things that makes Evangelion a masterpiece is how it portrays its characters exactly as they are, flawed and human.I don't know if you ever had a girlfriend in high school or as an adult, but women are complicated as hell. Half the time they don't even understand themselves. I'm guessing you haven't, since you're a Kaworufag who's clearly into dick, but every woman I've ever met, including your mom or your grandma, talks in subtext most of the time. That's exactly what Asuka does. She's such an emotionally indirect, immature, chaotic mess that she'd rather tell you to go fuck yourself than admit she cares about you. So how can you expect a girl like that to do anything for Shinji? And honestly, she did do things for him. It's a shame the series is so short. If it had more episodes, the character development could have been fleshed out even more. And hiding the truth about Toji from Shinji? That was actually pretty empathetic of her, given her track record.
>>290322983>since you're a Kaworufag who's clearly into dick,wrong. Not reading the rest of your drivel and cope
>>290318480Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Rei gets fucking mogged by the other eva girls.
>>290322920No. That's just an excuse. Shinji needed to accept the real world as it is and stop running away. Whether it's suicide, depression, being a hikikomori, all that shit is basically Instrumentality. Running away from it is Anno's message: "accept reality even if it's shit." Remember, in the 90s, staying locked up in your house started becoming a trend, and Anno himself was a pretty depressed guy
>>290323002I am a man who has fucked many pussys, and who also understood Eve. To deny me is an act of immaturity
>>290323081sure you have champ, thats why youre on 4chan
>>290323120I suffer from chronic insomnia and severe depression, and on top of that, I’m a young man with questionable political views, so naturally, I ended up here.
>>290323191
>>290323217Jimmy CHADtron solos EVA btw
Asuka rejects the picture perfect romance you kept posting knowing she and Shinji are a mess.
Kensuke is seething right now. He is a mess
Kensuke is not real
Rebuild is canon and will be vindicated like GT.
>>290314262Well yeah, that's male wish fulfillment. Having all the hottest bitches obsessed with you while still being a beta.
>>290314262>Rei and Asuka>hottest bitches in animeUsually I'd tell you to watch more anime, but calling them bitches makes me think you should probably just off yourself.
There is literally nothing wrong with moving on from your middle school crush. I guess 5cm per second didn't drill this in hard enough.
>>290324041>>290323310How many times is Kensuke schizo going to make rhe same post after Anno killed his shitpost
There is literally something wrong with you keep bring up the same rebuild bait expecting to bait people.
>Anno makes Asushin canon>one retard can't let go so he has to keep doing the exact same bait he's done for 5 yearsYes, something is wrong with you if you do this
Regardless of overall quality, the end of Rebuild literally reflects Anno's current mindset as a successful, happily married man, the end result of the lessons of Eva applied. If your contention really comes down to which girl is with Shinji, you've got a lot of growing up to do.
>Anno writes fanservice>instantly appeased Talk about being cattle
Regardless of overall quality, the end of Rebuild literally reflects how retarded people like >>290324195 is. Anno explain the theme of that movie but the dumbass keeps making heads. I would tell him to grow up but I'm not a faggot who tries to act high and mighty on 4chan
>>290314262>obsessed with himHe was the only one who could pilot the damn robot. More like they had no alternatives.
>>290314262>jerks off on dying crippled in hospital bed>cums in his pantleg when old hag teases him>only girl he ever even gets naked with is his momnot surprised people on this board would think he's anything but omega
>>290324741>>290324585>>290324286>>290324272>>290324195>290324195Ah, this is canon
>>290325648Phew thank God the rebuilds aren't canon so I don't have to give a shit about this garbage
>>290314262>but he had the hottest bitches in anime obsessed with him>Misato: only saw him as a surrogate child.>Rei: Yui clone>Asuka: came to detest Shinji. She awoke the incel psychopath within him during the human instrumentalization.
>>290317341>but doesnt like him.It's literally spelled out that asuka loves shinji and her continued outbursts and attitude are a reaction to his seeming disinterest and lack of motivation to display anything toward herIn other words shinji wants to be a recipient of anyone's affection, whereas asuka wants him to blatantly and outwardly seek only her affection. That's their conflict
>>290321913That's not true. EoE is a bitter but ultimately optimistic ending. They wouldn't go through all that lecturing about how you have to live despite fear and pain only to go "oh yeah they starve anyway"The area where they wake up is desolate only because it's the site of tokyo-3 which was just bombed to smithereens and then had a moon erupt from beneath it and then the entire ocean flood it. The rest of earth is likely perfectly fine
>>290326404It’s a tragic ending, really. Shinji and Asuka finally understand each other, accepting their positive feelings, love, need, attraction, recognition, but in a world that is completely finished, and only after having hurt each other deeply. Denying that Eva is a love story is idiotic
Eva is a sex story about Kensuke and Asuka. Robots are just part of the plot
>>290326585It's optimistic because they are finally showing eachother honesty. I.e. they are actually changing as people.Asuka doesn't hide behind her taunts or copes, she gently touches his cheek. Meanwhile shinji doesn't run away, , or otherwise fear being close to her, in fact he does exactly what he wants for once and makes her suffer his anger.It's not 'nice' but it's honest, previously neither of them would have never, ever done either of those acts to eachother. Then, it's undercut completely by asuka returning to taunting him ('how disgusting.') and shinji immediately retreating into his usual cowardice, crying into her.
Eva was created so that >>290326648 can seethe about Shinji Fucking Asuka. Reminder he's a Reifag
Eva is a sex story about Shinji and Asuka. Kensuke pedo seething is just a bonus
>>290325648I still can't get over how much that sort caused >>290326648 >>290326803>>290326833both are true
Aida Asuka also known as Ms. Kensuke
>>290314262Rei's tits
>>290327019kek what a faithful wife!
Everytime Kensuke schizo makes a Kensuke joke. Asuka and Shinji fuck. Twice as hard if he makes a Aida joke or has kek in his post.Example >>290327078>>290327019They just made another baby. Thanks peru cuck

Shinji fucks twice but Kensuke reaches thrice as deep
>>290327122Kek i agree with all thos especially the last part
>>290327156kek Asuka loves it
>>290327164>>290327156I agree with both these posts i also likee BBC pron
Imagine being mindbroken over losing a 20+ year old ship war.
>>290327170>>290327171>>290327156All me BTW. I'm from peru
Why are all eva threads like this?
>>290327176All it took was a 13 min short to do it. Now all he does is cuck post
>>290327192>>290327170>1 min apartWhy is Kensuke schizo like this?
>>290327212He's brown and a Reishinfag
>>290327031Post examples
>>290314262Misato is the only one who actually genuinely loves him, and it's more misplaced caregiving love. If there was no age gap, she would date Shinji to try to fix him.Asuka is just desperate for ANy connection and goes to Kaji, but he doesn't want her. Shinji is the only other male in her life.Rei is alone and is only starting to come out of her shell before she dies. She loves Shinji, not romantically, but because he was kind for her and valued her for something, and taught her another path forward.
>>290326027>>Misato: only saw him as a surrogate child.She was jokinga bout putting the moves on him from day 1, and ends up doing it. That's now how you treat a child.
>>290326404>They wouldn't go through all that lecturing about how you have to live despite fear and pain only to go "oh yeah they starve anyway"The logistics aren't that complicated. Everyone got Rapture'd up, but the infastructure is fine. They just need to go and find a nearby village to turn into a home base. They can start raiding grovery stores for canned foods and they would have enough to live on.In my mind, they turn that village into a home base for souls coming back. They start training people up and repopulating the world. A few people show up every week. After a decade, the population is in the millions.In my mind, Gendo would be one of the first to come back but he turns himself into a hermit since he did everything for Yui but she rejected him.
I had to even look up who Kensuke. Oh he's the nerdy kid in glasses. Yeah, he's Anno's otaku self-insert, who gushes about wanting to be a pilot, and how cool jets and aircraft carriers are. He's the kind of third wheel for the Shinji-Toji relationship. Sort of the Milhouse to Toji's Bart. He's just kinda there, then he leaves. His last appearance is an answering machine call if I remember right.
If it's not obvious: the poster is literally the minutes after the ending to the film. Asuka is in shock at the situation, and Shinji just stares blankly, and probably fills her in on some details she missed out on. Living in this new world isn't going to be easy, but it's not hopeless. The world's infastructure is largely untouched and undamaged. They would just have to move out of the crater left behind from the moon to find some place habitable.
>>290327616He's the guy some schizo from Peru shitposts. Likes the fact he takes creepshots and as a pedo he can relate
>>290327616The creator of this series, Hideaki Anno, was a depressed piece of shit in his youth, but he wasn't some beta. He was a regular at different bars, banging chicks from the industry, basically. He fucked and fucked like crazy. Why do I bring this up? Because he wasn't some incel or loser, this guy understood women pretty well. Women, in themselves, are not objects (this also comes up in the series) and he wrote them really well. Maybe because of his extensive experience with pussy, he ended up writing female characters that actually feel human.Besides, he likes tough, strong girls. Asuka is clearly the girl of the show.
>>290327854>>290327616What I'm trying to say is that the creator didn't self-insert as Kensuke. Kensuke was just a poor sap who envied Shinji and Toji for piloting an Eva, more concerned with fighter jets than with a pussy.
>>290327876>>290327876>Shinji and Toji for piloting an Eva, more concerned with fighter jets than with a pussy.Because Anno envies Shinji and Toji for piloting an eva. Kensuke is Anno's otaku self-insert, where he has a character share his own otaku sensibilities and espouse them. Shinji, Kensuke, and Gendo, are his three self-inserts in the series featuring various aspects of his personality. Kensuke looks more akin to a "nerd" with the glasses and shirt, but he never shows any indication of being insecure, shy, or anything. One of the episodes to feature him prominently shows him out camping alone, with a lot of knowledge about firearms and survival. Gendo:>glasses, beard, similar faces, guy in charge of everything Shinji:>depression Kensuke:>mecha otaku, films everything - future film maker?
>>290327854Oh and if the womanizing part is true, then Kaji is also a self-insert.
>>290317731retarded faggot
>>290328676>>290317731Not obsessed, just that Shinji touched a lot of people around him. Rei was touched and learned to not just be a doll.
who the fuck is kensuke?!
>>290326404>That's not true. EoE is a bitter but ultimately optimistic ending.Correct. Shinji is just looking rough and thin because in his grief and shock he's spent 2 weeks hanging around the crater of tokyo 3 and erecting simple grave markers. The first god damn thing Asuka is gonna do is call him an idiot and drag his ass to the nearest convenience store to get something to eat.
>>290327176Its 31 years, eva aired in 1995
Why they pretend like Shinji never had any parent figure? Someone was taking care of him before(his teach right?) they must have been some parent figure.
>>290331733Unclear, and probably some throwaway line that's easy to miss in the first episode. All I remember is he "ran away" at 10, Gendo has ignored him for 3 years. Then later we learn his mom died. Remember, the series was written as they went and was a little rushed so it's possible this just wasn't ever addressed.
>>290328205Obvious example of Anno using Shinji as his self-insert into the story. Fans over-analyze these things because they're dipshits, but it's very straight forward:>Anno has created this fantastical world, including NERV HQ, and Tokyo-3>End of Eva is him destroying all of it>it's akin to a child destroying their sand castle>note the film lighting around here and how the pyramid resembles Central Dogma
>>290331449>Correct. Shinji is just looking rough and thin because in his grief and shock he's spent 2 weeks hanging around the crater of tokyo 3 and erecting simple grave markers. The first god damn thing Asuka is gonna do is call him an idiot and drag his ass to the nearest convenience store to get something to eat.>eatTo fuck, or rather
>>290331870I never really understood this scene. Your interpretation is total crap. I think it's a distorted memory from Shinji's childhood.
>>290326404If there is no people around all the infrastructure is irreversibly destroyed and they are starting from scratch.
>>290331875>>eat>To fuck, or ratherThat kind of romance would come later. The attacks are still fresh and they need to process this new world. They would go to a nearby village and setup shop. They find a house to live in for the time being and raid the local convenience store. After a few days of being comfortable, THAT is when the romantic sex begins. Probably 1 week from the events of One More Final.Then probably a few days later they find some guy just walking about in a haze. They learn that more people are popping out. Shinji's next year is just spend organizing and taking care of these people, shuffling them off into nearby cities and villages. Him and Asuka are early leaders in organizing things for survivors. >>290331927Only Tokyo-3 is destroyed. Since they're in the remains of the city in the giant crater you can falsely get the impression that the entire world is destroyed. Everyone else just got raptured up by Rei. Tokyo-2 and all other cities are perfectly fine.
>>290331960It would have been rough, tragic, and sad sex. It would have been a first time for both of them. Besides, Asuka’s body was completely wrecked; her organs were literally spilling out when she died, and she had been repeatedly pierced by the Mass Production Evas' lances. She had also lost an eye, and her arm was a mangled mess. Her beauty had been one of her facades, now, she would likely feel repulsive. Shinji, on the other hand, after having masturbated over her body, wouldn't feel happy about it at all. Yet, as the years went by, they would eventually have good sex.
>>290331960I don't think other people would easily emerge. Just consider that, nowadays, more people are shut away in their rooms than out in the real world; imagine what instrumentalization would do to human beings. Months or years could pass before seeing another person. Serial killers or rapists might emerge, let’s remember that one must love oneself to reject instrumentality
>>290314262I don't see Kanna, Becky and Anya here.
>>290314262Shame Anno became a cowardly normalfag instead of remaining a super otaku because symbolically and thematically, it would have made more sense for Misato to be pregnant with Shinji's child in Shin Evangelion rather than with Kaji's child and Shinji being forced to interact with his own son in Shin Evangelion would have done wonders for his character development. Unfortunately, Anno seems to be scared of controversy from normalfags these days so Shinji impregnating Misato would definitely have generated a global controversy
>>290332032the thing is, it’s a shonen series. There were many things that couldn't be done, Toji's death, for instance, or the sexual encounters between Asuka and Shinji or Shinji and Misato, among other things
>>290331984I think their first sexual tryst would be just for relief and to feel a deep bond with someone. The love develops over time. If official art is taken as canon, Asuka's eye never returns but the rest of her body looks fine.>>290332007I think they would, and i don't think Asuka or Shinji are meant to be extra-ordinary people. The first step of Instrumentality seems to be a giant therapy session. Once you're through that, you may or may not decide to live. The therapy session for Asuka just took a bit longer than Shinji's did. I think the first few would a trickle and consist of totally random people. I see Shinji and Asuka's world having a pretty low population for years. Also, I do believe Gendo would emerge as well, simply because he isn't with Yui. He lives as a hermit for some time mourning Yui and how his plants meant nothing. He ignores Shinji and Asuka.
>>290332032Yes, Anno first calmed down and Eva was drawing on both his anime otaku period and his periods of depression so there was some rawness there. However, Eva blew up in popularity and became a media franchise so he had to be much more careful and cautious. The idea of romantic and sexual tension between a 14 year old and a 30 year old is pretty bonkers if you think about it. Modern day Anno would have never done it, There's just too much money riding on things, and he would never risk censorship or protests.
>>290332087Toji's death is probably rejected due to tone, not that it couldn't be done. How many people die in battle shounen anyways? Eva was broadcast at 9pm, so it was not like it was a morning show for kids. My guess is that the studio or station felt it was too mean and grim to kill Toji off, so he was downgraded to merely being a cripple for life. I mean, they kill Kowaru a few episodes later anyways. But it's more okay because he's an actual direct threat and Shinji is put into a spot.
>>290331960>Only Tokyo-3 is destroyed>Tokyo-2 and all other cities are perfectly fine.If there is no people around its irreversibly destroyed. There is things you can't just "turn on" again (power plants, melting furnaces etc and it cascades from there)
>>290332011none of them are fertile
>>290332209Humanity bounced back from 2nd impact, which is said to have caused a collapse and series of conflicts resulting in half the world's population dying off. A few cities in Japan got flooded, but they seem to have been better off than most.3rd Impact is not as disastrous. The survivors would collect food and start farming while the trickle goes out to colonize and restore cities and villages, continually fanning outwards.
>>290314262>You guys treat Shinji like a beta, but he had the hottest bitches in anime obsessed with himand yet this mf touched none of them, nigga he gay
Youd think they would have milked the franchise more for being so popular.
>>290332176shinji not visiting toji after he gets crushed is actually better, more. fitting and darker than just killing him would be, anyway
>>290332516Nah, there's plans for a farewell scene with Toji and Kensuke where they're playing basketball and Toji shows off his new wheelchair. They couldn't fit that into the episodes since they needed to get the End of Eva 25-26 going.Kensuke's farewell is also a god damn answering machine message simply to save on animation budget.
>>290314262In complete honesty, I don't get that vibe. Evangelion is just too miserable a setting for that to happen. Obviously, Misato loved Kaiji; Asuka fixated on Shinji because he was the only guy and the better pilot, and Rei was very close to Shinji...as a kind of substitute and counterpart for his dad.It just didn't work out conventionally. In the Sadamoto manga, Rei is quite clearly in love with Shinji, admittedly.
>>290332486>Youd think they would have milked the franchise more for being so popular.Rightly or wrongly? Maybe. I think they could have gotten like 6 movies out of it. But the way they did it, is best, since it leaves you wanting more. Your mind starts to imagine what kind of life Asuka and Shinji are going to create. Actually showing it might ruin some of the magic.The typical anime-manga cycle is they create a series, and if it's popular milk it until the series stale and seen as passe. That cycle might take 4-12 years typically. This cycle produces more "content", but it is more hit or miss. I am thinking of urusei yatsura as an example. There was some mediocre or shit films in that series for instance.
>>290332584Shinji is never once clued in as to what is going on by Gendo or NERV. He asks Asuka what the hell Angels even are, and she brushes him off and won't admit she is just as clueless as he is. It takes Kaji all the way in the tail end of the series to tell him what the Angel's plan is, or what will happen if it reaches Lilith. If the series was perfect, Kaji and Misato would in fact be his parents. That seems to be the direction the relationships were going, if the whole NERV and spy shit didn't get in the way.
>>290332616I think that's kind of the point, Shinji really has no idea what the fuck is going on. He does see Ritsuko purge all the Rei bodies, but it's not clear if he understands what that means.
>>290332626Yes, Shinji is actually several steps behind the viewer. I do think he gets clued in that Rei is a clone that is Rei-ncarnated several times though. I guess it's partially because of how rushed it is but Shinji and Rei III spend next to no time together outside of the hospital scene.
>>290332586>Actually showing it might ruin some of the magic.Well usually they don't care if it ruins it/makes it stale, but only care about the money.
>>290332616>It takes Kaji all the way in the tail end of the series to tell him what the Angel's plan is, or what will happen if it reaches Lilith.It is never explained why they are "angels", its completely arbitrary.
>>290332710They are angels that are inspired by biblical angels which were often quite strange. And like 2001 before it, is taking the idea of what truly alien creatures with the powers of gods would actually be like. It's unclear if in Eva-world any of the Bible has taken place or not, but Shinji seems to know that Angels are god's messengers. So perhaps.
>>290332710If the ancestral race are the gods, then they're the middle men messengers of the gods. or angels.
>>290314262he never fukked. except in the reboot movies where he became loser salaryman because Anno is a hack.
>>290333450you'd think NERV would let him cut loose, write a book, do some speaking tours of his experiences, appear on day-time tv, and get some UN appointment right? No, he just becomes regular ass salaryman? Fuck that noise. You save the world you get to kick up your feet and not worry about real world problems anymore.
>>290327330>Asuka is just desperate for ANy connectionShe has army of SIMPs she despises though
>>290333767Only to end up with Kensuke at the end...
>>290333767Connections, not stupid losers. She wants to be loved by the adult Kaji and to be treated as such.
>>290314262Shinji doesn't know how to swim, so he is a land locked loser.
>>290333991you think that dude was gonna swim to Korea or something?
>>290333840Watching while she fucks Shinji while a brown kid formed peru types "Only to end up with Kensuke at the end..." on 4chan
>>290334252Kek, Kensuke schizo camps Eva thread just to make a joke nobody but himself will reply to
>>290334252eventually he'll learn he's not funny but until them Kensuke schizo will reply to his own post saying that he is.
>Kensuke schizo >lost to canon>lost to Anno>lost to kf>lost to /a/>lost to /dbs/>lost to God by making him brown>lost to Asushin by making Reishin loseHow does he still not want to end it?
