No one still knows what it was about.
>>215019586Overrated slop. Lain is a million times better.
>>215019586Devilman did it better, none of these knockoffs can match Nagai
>>215019586No one gives the tiniest shit anymore balding soillennial
>>215019586EVA, Yotsuba, and Azumanga Daioh are the most important series to the history and creation of 4chan. There is no 4chan culture without them
First for best girl!
>>215020064So they are cringe, low t, and extremely retarded? It checks out.
>anons still malding about it in big 2025and that's why it remains the best show of all time
>>215020263With the best girls of all time, too. Mind you.
>>215020263literally the most mid tranime around
>>215019586>mc is an insecure beta virgin (probably even gay)No wonder I could never get into that shit
Why do old troons love this show so much?
>>215020329lmao what tf is this gay nerd shit
I love and hate him, bros
>>215020390Pachinko machine
>>215020291Even if you dislike the story and characters it still has actual direction and visual flair which automatically puts it above most anime and western animation.
>>215020329Why does the worst always happen to Asuka?>mother kills herself>father doesn't care about her>Her Eva gets mutillated multiple times>gets mindraped by weird giant glowing mosquito angel>gets the most gruesome death in the series by weird sperm looking monsters>demoted to random Mary Sue's side character on Rebuild
>>215020291>>215020377This show pre-dates your boogeymen
>>215020329fucking hell that looks so much shittier compared to the old drawings
What's the one anime you'd show to an anime hater that you think they couldn't deny being absolute kino?
>>215020724didn't the creator admitted that he was just making up random shit and using religious images because they looked cool
>>215020759Because she's a german
>>215020883I'm not talking about the symbolism i'm talking about shot composition and blocking, editing, visual design, even things like the choice of fonts and use of non-diegetic text. There's a lot of cool, thoughtful stuff in there. Again, more than you can find in most cookie cutter anime slop, especially today.
>>215020278That's right, pic very much related
>>215021206A gigachad walks amongst us
>show is partly about how waifufaggotry is super gay and cringe, with a broken, twisted anti-waifu and a literal blank slate>become two of the most popular waifus of all timewhy did he do it?
>>215020087
Shinji is my scrunkly!!!!
Best girl of all time. Smites angels like it was going out of style. Slaps danger haired dolls in elevators with no consequences. So desirable that sexually confused nerds who won't get in robots end the world over her favor. Who can compete?
>>215020883Everything is an Ultraman reference.
>>215019586Is there like a NGE Kai that cuts out all of the pretentious shit and gets right to the good stuff? Could never finish the thing
>>215021817Please kys.
>>215021892No thanks, Mr anime pedophile.
Everyone loves referencig this but if you made it today you’d go to jail
>>215021817Just don’t watch the original tv ending and there is no pretentious stuff
>>215020883No. Plus the show had like 5 writers across the 26 eps. Auteur theory doesn't apply to Anno and 90s Studio Gainax.
Is there a good BD rip out there with remixed audio?
>>215020323You're gay.(And entirely wrong.)
>>215020064I thought it started off as a basket weaving forum…?
>watch NGE>fall in love with all the womenanime is just better, simple as
>>215021817I've heard people say this for 30 years and I've never understood this sentiment. Eva doesn't have a complex plot at all, and it tells its story quite humbly. Also, the first half of the show has large segments of pure action. I assume the people that find it difficult to understand watched it on Netflix and were looking at their phone for most of the run time.
>>215020291It single handedly saved the medium of anime from irrelevancy.
>>215020323He is 14. Grew up in post global calamity. Mom died young. Abusive sociopathic dad. Are you gonna call him INCEL next?
>>215022348Shinjis post nut clarity ended the world. Sounds pretty incel to me kek
>>215021878she's past it
>>215019586Is the rebuild worth a watch? I remember how back in 2010 I was waiting for it to be finished before rewatching. Boy did it take long to finish.
>>215019586the pseud show. I'm glad most anime fans don't care about this slop.
>>215021498how many angels did she actually beat herself? 1? shinji was the true angel slayer
>>215020663he's literally me
>>215021498ASSKA HONGRY!
>>215019620>emo teen gets the change to rebuilt the world>emo teen thinks "hur nobody loves me, let all die so nobody feels anything">Rei sits on his cock>holy shit I could have gotten laid all this time?>alright, everyone return to living i guessit's not so complicated as pretentious faggots want it to be.
>>215024274oh and Rei's his mom so he wanted to fuck his mother
>>215024321basically
>>215019620Kid learns to have some self-respect, after many eps of will he/won't he get in the robot.
>>215019620Let Alex Jones explain it to youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Doh2LzWkxFU&t=3s
They wanted to bring about the Third Lunch Break and make everyone eat fries.
>>215019620I don't think it's quite the Twin Peaks of anime, but it's pretty good
>>215024506
>>215024587
>>215019620>>215024274This except it's not Rei sitting on his cock that convinces him to keep humanity and life, it's Asuka caressing his face, showing the God-mommy affection is still present even in the cruel parts of life.
>>215024526Get out lynchnigger. This thread is for kino.
>>215019586Code Geass did it better
>>215021817It's just 26 episodes plus a movie (two if you watch Death). It's not that long...
>>215022132https://nyaa.si/view/1455099
>>215019620Self respect and personal agency is necessary to survive the world.
>>215023451Parts 3 and 4 of the rebuilds are very different to the show. They have some great parts but also some lomg boring fight scenes. If you watch the rebuilds treating it as a very different alternate universe then you'll probably enjoy it for what it is.
>>215023451>Is the rebuild worth a watch?No.
>>215019586>30 years agowhy hasn't there been a live action movie?
>>215019620I do.
>>215024648
>>215019586Guess it's time for my yearly rewatch.
>>215024929Too expensive. They'll probably wait until we get a couple of successful anime adaptations like they did with videogames. The well is too poisoned right now and anything they make is guaranteed to flop.
>>215024929live action movies sucks ass compared and would only diminish this outstanding property. You're not somehow enhancing it or making it better by chopping it up, cutting out everything that needs time to soak in and think about, then cramming it into a garbage two hour flick. Everyone would be just angry about casting choices and comparing how poorly the few scenes are adapted than actually watching to enjoy.
>>215024929No one wants to take the risk.Also at this point I highly doubt Anno cares about Hollywood money. Last Eva movie did almost $100M only in Japan so it's not like he's short of cash.
Asuka has the best ass in all of anime
Isn't this just baby's first Japanese nihilism porn? Dragonball is cooler. The only jap nihilism porn that wasn't overdone was berserk. NGE is very clearly generic shonen protag
>>215024929ADV tried to do the typical white-washed live action film but it didn't workbtw Anno wanted Emma as Asuka
>>215025323Why are berserkfags the absolute most nigger tier retards?
>>215025323>only likes media with no ending that just ramble on and on contriving shit endlesslynot surprising
>>215025323Berserk is kino but you're retarded if you think the misery porn is not "overdone" compared to Eva
>>215024929The core psychological growth themes are dependent on at least Shinji and Asuka looking around 14 or 15. It's a risk to cast children in such prominent roles. The sexual development and Freudian psychological (also sexual) aspects involving these 14 year old characters would also probably be too much for American audiences.I think that's the biggest obstacle.
>>215025308true
>>215025395Watson?
>>215025491Who else?
>>215025490w-what game...
>>215025489borrow James Cameron's facial motion capture technology to de-age the actors. Instead of making them blue avatars, he'll make them young japanese teenagers
>>215025504That would have been a travesty. Thank god it didn't happen.
>>215025535https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6sXUlH_hCE
>>215025535The Nikke collab. So the character is no longer available.
>Peak Emma Watson wearing a tight red suit
>>215021498asuka
>>215025308Rei's is better
>>215026005Truth
>>215025843She peaked in the first movie. That’s too young.
I like the part where Shinji and Rei dance in the manga
>>215026018not canon
C-on Genertsis BaskbandgelE'skin
>>215026005>>215026018wrong
>>215026099kys
>>215026113>>215026057cope and sneed
>>215025323>nihilism pornyou don't know what nihilism means
>>215023451No. The series said all it needed to with the original 26 eps and End of Evangelion feature film. The rebuilds are just a blatant cash grab because Anno left Gainax to found his own studio named Khara and the rebuilds were supposed to finance other projects.
This thread is a good reminder that without waifufaggotry this shitty series would have been thrown into the bin of pseudo-intellectual trash and forgotten.
>>215025323Eva isn't nihilistic at all lmao
>>215020329lol
>>215026169t. marifag
>>215026134suck my dick, bitch. then get better comments
>I'm so fucked up...
>>215026113not canon
>>215026169Eva would be pseudo-intellectual if it didn't integrate its psychological and philosophical themes meaningfully with its character drama. But it excels at doing these things.
>>215026288Rei wan borgar
>>215019586I still think it's not sexual enough for the themes it's trying to express. KawoShin ftw.
>>215026419it looks like her mouth is extra wide and she's screaming
>>215020390This is the rebuilds, we don't claim those.
>>215026510Thats not even the rebuilds its from a pachinko machine kek
>>215026743>Asuka preparing her feminine wiles to tempt the horny boy into attacking her
>>21502678390's anime is pure SOVL
>>215019620all becomes tang
>>215026816
>>215026905Becoming tang means I'd mix with you guys which is gross, but I'd also mix with my favorite celebrity waifus which would be nice. Hmm decisions decisions.
>>215026816>tfw no cute girl ever asked you to rape herwhy even live
>>215027332you gotta catch Asuka at the right time. Sometimes she wants it, sometimes she REALLY doesn't. It's no wonder Shinji's hopelessly confused and timid
