The Book of the New Sun gets it the closest. Christian imagery, a deconstruction of an entire genre, and people badly misunderstanding character motivations.

There's plenty of derivative dogshit literature, not really sure what OP is trying to imply

you could also have said it's because it's overrated slop worshipped by brown retards that think it's high art
>>
>>25423515
You can not like something while still acknowledging its intent

>>25423519
The browns like DBZ substantially more. I don't think the browns, or even a lot of whites, know about Gene Wolfe, let alone the series. It is talked a lot on this board though, that's true enough

It's not a LE HECKIN DECONSTRUCTION, it's a below average mecha anime that didn't do anything new or original, the only real appeal is the admittedly fantastic opening. Anyone jerking this off hasn't seen anything.

If he lived in Nigeria or something I'd be more sympathetic, but for a Japanese person to cry about this is retarded

No Longer Human is literally “Rich Asshole Not So Tough Since Being Molested” and then it turns into Leaving Las Vegas. His friend shitting on him was the best part of the book.

99% of the obsession with NGE is waifu faggotry. That being said, EoE is a legitimately good movie.
>>
>>25423621
EoE, like everything Anno made, is fucking terrible and the only people that praise it are idiots that know nothing about the art form. See also the abomination that was Shin Ultraman
>>
>>25423611
NGE is nothing like Childhoods End, God this site is retarded

You could just end it bro.

A deadpan abuse of all anime cliches that pretends it's 2deep4u? Probably Blood Meridian.

People who use the word deconstruction usually aren't genre savy enough. Eva is avant-garde but it's themes aren't that bizarre for a mecha series. It doesn't really say much about giant humanoid combat vehicles and their implications which is what a deconstruction would do. You could rewrite the whole thing to be as if Shinji was Ultraman, Kamen Rider or some other shit and keep most of the plot the same.
>>
thus spoke zarathustra. the finale of the anime is shinji literally refusing instrumentality for the sake of individuality and accepting that despite all the suffering life is still worth living.

LOL, they starved to death.

Infinite Jest

>both end on a beach

There's a whole lot more similarities outside of what I have listed
