Is Evangelion worth watching nowadays and why?
>>
>>952536662
I still don't get it. It was his his dog the whole time or what?
>>
>>952536662
I never really understood the appeal besides the purple haired chick was totally down fucking the male teen when the world was ending.
I couldn't get into it because I can't think of a single guy I know in real life who wouldn't think fighting giant battles in a mega monster mother wouldn't be the most bad ass thing to be happy about.
>>
>>952536662
Sorry it's >>952536851 again
The more I think about this show the more I question it
Like am I not supposed to be convinced his dad wasn't tapping that autistic chick?
Was I supposed to be enthralled by the little gay story arc he had with the guy who randomly showed up but was an angel?
Why are the angels look like something a 7 year old could come up with? I mean fuck, just make your angels hot and you could have easily taken over the world
Was God in that show meant to be completely fucking incompetent?
>>
Great show, but I hate the community nowadays. Newfaqs and retarded kids are flooding the threats since Netflix and Amazon instead of killing emselves. Still worth watching nonetheless. Especially the second half is great for its psychological themes and character crisis. If you start it keep pushing till episode 13, then it gets better. After last episode watch Death&Rebirth and than EoE. Rebuilds only if you wanna dig deeper, but tbh NGE has its peak with EoE imo.
>>
>>952537318
>Great show
Did we watch the same show? I watched the series and even the movie. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>
It's anime and therefore not worth watching.
>>
>>952537567
Now you're just shit posting for attention
>>
>>952536662
yes, because it's genuinely a masterpiece of anime. i'll be that guy and say it, the people saying "I don't get it" are just that, they don't get it. either you have appreciation for this kind of art or you don't, and those who don't will never "get it"

is it the best thing ever? no. is it perfect? no. but much like Akira, it's a staple for a reason.
>>
>>952537442
go watch solo leveling. it's probably more of you kind of thing.
>>
>>952537669
What the hell does that even imply?
>>
>>952537633
I appreciated it. I enjoyed it. I was entertained. I would even daresay I'm a fan. I just didn't GET it. I also have mental problems, so it might be more me than the show itself.
>>
>>952537701
it's the most basic, popular, normie ass anime. if you can't appreciate eva you're probably better off with something like that.
>>
>>952537746
it's cryptic to some degree. they purposely avoid telling you all the details, but that's part of the charm imo.
>>
>>952537752
What's not to understand about EVA?
It's fucking stupid made by a horny Japanese guy. It's not philosophical or that deep dude.
>>
>>952537769
Ah yes poor story telling aka apparently means charm these days.
>>
>>952537769
I've only watched it once. Is it one of those shows where you watch it again and something new clicks because you have knowledge you didn't have the first time?
>>
>>952537826
Don't listen to that fucking weirdo. He thinks there's something deeper than a plot as pointless and flimsy that you see in a softcore porno
>>
Watched the entire series when I was about 15 and I understood it. How are you retards unable to follow basic storylines and plot sequences?
>>
>>952537957
What plot beyond "older men want to fuck younger people" with a tack on basic JRPG plot of "kill god" am I no understanding exactly?
>>
I was dissapointed because of how heavily it is shilled here. I might have liked it with lower expectations. What is so special about it.
>>
>>952537826
You know what? Let me post my understanding of the series so we can see if I'm even close to the same page as other anons. It's been a little while since I saw it and I might remember some details wrong, so bear with me.
>aliens invade and try to take out humanity
>shinji gets in the damn robot which is also his mother for no reason
>he fights the aliens alongside some dyke who is also his mother for no reason and a total bitch that everyone likes for no reason
>secretly shinjis father is a mad scientist whos trying to like fuse humanity into a freaky sex orgy to save them
>shinjis sheer fucking HUMANITY FUCK YEAH will destroys the sex orgy and reality itself
>they run out of budget and end the series on a cliffhanger
Is that about right?
>>952537851
Oh, so it really is just a bunch of mumbo jumbo disguised as something deeper...?
>>
>>952538013
Jerk off chicks that guys pretend they wouldn't fuck underage pussy
There I did it, I said the thing
>>
>>952538024
>so it really is just a bunch of mumbo jumbo disguised as something deeper...?
Dude the whole thing was the Creator being a self insert of a mopey weak kid who still frowns despite he's fighting building sized entities and knows he enters his mother willingly because his dad told him to
>>
As a cultural reference: Yes
For entertaining purposes: No
The masterpiece of Evangelion resides in the time it came out and how the teenagers of that time experienced it. It's like the movie "Bicycle Thieves" and wonder if it's "worth watching nowadays and why", you might think it's a boring Italian movie from the 40s, but that's nowadays standards.
>>
>>952536662
Your mom is worth watching. Btw here is the challenge: look at your mom from her left to her right side without using Visine or other eyedrop products.
>>
I rather just have the show be about shinji banging his mom because his dad told him to
>But it is deep!
It's not deep it's just a bunch of fetish shit
>>
The funniest part is the jerk off scene was supposed to be "edgy" despite the fact he's been inside his own mother to kill giant things and that jerk off session was the most human thing that stupid character ever accomplished in the show
>>
>>
>>952536662
Yes. It's great for young people who have never seen something sincere about the endless self pitying of depression, or the renegade aspect of male sexuality that confirms for the poisoned mind that yes you are a one of a kind loser despite it being a shared experience. It has shades of Charlie Kaufman to it in how it explores the inherent patheticness of human instincts.
>>

Oh shut the fuck up

How is it so is the better question
You act like this is some ground breaking things when even the Bible has kinky shit in it
"Get into your mother shinji, wear the skin tight suit"
Yeah that probably should have told you that you were reading deviant art story with a budget
I can add onto the sexual shit that dude added to it. It wasn't out of shock value. He did it because he was a perv and you justify yanking it to teen chicks in skin tight outfits so your future made up GF thinks it's acceptable

if you watch anime there is an extremely high likelihood of you being a nigger and you should therefore kill yourself.
>>
>>952538549
Reflection of what exactly? Don't make vague statements you little manipulative fucker.
>>
>>952538595
What else am I gonna watch? Kiked-up Western 'toons? Nah, man.
>>
>>952538699
Why not? it has everything anime does.
>>
>>952538726
Maybe, but it also has troons and niggers... which, OK, so does anime, but they don't shove 'em in your face nearly as hard as Western trash.
>>
No its just made me depressed after.
>>
>>952538757
This is when you want to get philosophical I can easily argue that ignoring things is worse than bringing it through art
You should never ignore the world around you because you're lying through your whole message you represent through your creation.
>>
Misery porn
>>
>>952538792
What does that mean?
>>
>>952538838
Bro, if misery porn is getting inside your robo-mommy, beating up monsters and jerking off on cute girls, sign me the fuck up, because I must be the star of some kind of turbo misery porn.
>>
>>952538845
It means that just because you dislike the climate you shouldn't always fully ignore it because it fucks with the point of your art.
A lot of people don't like rainy weather, but if you always have things that are not rainy when trying to make a story could the story itself suffer from lack of the lack of rain?
>>
>>952538902
OK, yeah, that kind of makes sense.
>>
>>952536662
>Is Evangelion worth watching nowadays
Yes

It's good

Girls he never gets to fuck and then the world ends/they fail their mission
>virgin blueball McBlueballs gets blueballed and the whole world ends
>>
>>952538922
That's how I see this show, it doesn't really have anything beyond "god wants us dead despite he made us" "I need my son to get into a skin tight suit and enter his mom so he can fight creatures beyond all logic while I pretend I didn't fuck this clone autistic kid"
Because when you think about this show at it's core, it's never truly rainy.
It was always about it's perversion
>>
>>952538571
I didn't say it was groundbreaking, I didn't say it had anything to do with the plot, and I didn't say it had anything to do with being shocking. You have a bottled up rant ready to deploy even when it isn't relevant, which you've already let loose several other times in the thread. If you go and watch other works by Anno like Ritual, you'll see these are very plainly common themes of his, and the things you're complaining about are the trimmings you're mistaking for the body
>>952538600

Yeah, IDK. I don't know what the fuck was going on, but I liked it at face value. More of a FotNS guy.

Dude, writing it all out would take over 4x the characters and... let me time it... about 3x as many seconds. Those numbers add up! Anyway, you knew what I meant, so what's the issue?
>>
>>952536662
Meh, I didn’t really like it even though I’m a weeb. I can name a dozen other anime shows that I think are better. Still considered to be a classic tho.
>>
>>952541095
Oh no
Hope you don't break a nail you fucking fag

>>952541177
Gosh, you seem mad, anon... What else is going on...?
>>
>>952541208
I can't punch you if you really like to know the honest truth
Because I can't I believe in a timeline where clearly leftist men are so brainwashed they take more time explaining why they shorten words than just saying what they mean to say like it's the hardest effort ever
>>
>>952541253
I voted GEOTUS, my brother.
>>
>>952541328
Again
No idea what you're talking about
Maybe because I'm constantly around people who put effort into what they want to say

TBH, I'm kind of weirded out by the fact that you don't close your sentences with periods. What's the rush?

It's ironic you're triggered by periods but feel the need to shorten words
You're clearly a bottom so what's up little boy?
>>
>>952541427
I would say it's ironic that you're triggered by shortened words but can't hit a single button. Also missing a comma or two there, but I digress. Eat a dick, friend. Misato for life.
>>
>>952541502
Let's be perfectly clear
There is a vast difference between a period and being so lazy to make a show title into random letters
Let it also be clear that periods in this format doesn't mean shit if I'm doing it in a digestive way to separate my sentences
Lastly, and this is important, two type of men watch fist of the north star: those who are inspired and those who jerk off to it and I have a feeling I know which one you are
Just admit you're a fag and carry on because you're probably gross and fat

show is great, watched it on adult swim as a teen back in the day. normal fags kinda ruined it. I wish it never had released on prime or netflix, normal faggots were a mistake and don't deserve these kinda shows. also, anyone complaining about the girls is a SUPREME FAGGOT or some old FAT cunt roastoid hag who is jealous of beautiful petite young women, kys cunts. the world would be a better place without you, LITERALLY it would.

I never covered it up, LOL.

Weird
You'll shorten words to a show but make a long way to basically admit you're a faggot
Imagine my fucking shock

History would like a word with you, retard.
Just because you missed out on the peripheral media that explains a little bit more doesn't mean the story wasn't explained. You just didn't look hard enough. There's this thing called subtext, reading between the lines, educated people understand it. We don't all need everything spoonfed to us.
>>
>>952543708
I'm just supposed to give a fuck because some people privately applauded some content despite it's something a horny teenager could have conjured up?
>>
>>952543769

Once again, probably the most popular anime of all time. You're clearly trolling, or actually retarded.

>>952543794
Alright
You clearly want this heat
You got it
What's up? What am I apparently not understanding beyond the horny?
Do tell
>>
>>952543856
Why would I take time out of my day to persuade someone who's clearly made their mind up already? Personally I think the fan service is unfortunate, but easily looked over. This isn't some ecchi anime like you make it out to bed.
>>
>>952543896
Oh look at you
Mother fucker wants to pop off yet doesn't have the time or the balls to prove his point when confronted.
You fucking little wuss
You're the one who wanted to come to me son. I replied. I want this fight.

Very funny response to the idea that art can be more than A to B plot.

Weird reply because I never said that.
This was the best attempt to want my attention?

Eva is foundational to modern anime in a museum sense, as in only watch it if you care about that sort of historical significance kind of thing, but I think Gainax's own Gurren Lagann answers a lot of the questions Eva was chewing at a lot better and more optimistically within the human condition than Eva does.

Personally I don't think it's THAT "deep", or at least I don't think much of it.
Sure, there are various religious references and stuff but it's just there to build the show's universe.
