This show was about the covid pandemic
>>41054932
Watch the 2003 version because of it's mention of the Philosopher's Stone (the human pineal gland)
>Make a similar thread few days ago>no bump whatsoever>anon makes a thread>receives postsHow does it work?
>>41054932Gay ass, gnostic gigacope anime. Only in their shows and movies can they "defeat" or "contest" God.
>>41055757>>41055797Reddit>>41055842How is it gnostic? It is life affirming.>>41055802Git gud and follow your intuition
>>41055810>it's realokay, will watch
>>41055873just because reddit likes something good for once shouldn't taint you on the thing itself. The movie existed before reddit and therefore is good
>>41055873>How is it gnostic? It is life affirmingIt tries to make God look bad. And not just look bad, but as if He doesn't care about humans.
>>41055887it's not about god, it's about different outcomes on your decision. there are 3 endings, the original tv ends with Shinki picking Rei. The first movie ends with Shinji picking Redhead. And the newest movie ends with Shinji picking a big-breasted OC, who doesn't have much role in his life until laterIt's a harem anime, but with jewish kabbala
>>41055894awwwwww.... how cute, defending your god-waifu? but you are wrong, on all accounts. if god didn't care in the anime, he wouldn't send angels to push humankind onto a new level. Still, the reality is that the angels were trying to fix the fuckup that Adam did
>>41055842This show is so freaking boring even with a gnostic reading I don't care about the gay ass teenager drama and their obsession with sex.
Pic related is probably the goat of Occult and magick movies. Also serves as a cautionary tale to anons who'd like to develop psychic powers just to do evil shit
>>41055916You have no understanding of the faith and you are telling me I'm wrong on all accounts? Should I even continue to bother with this convo? >>41055919Its obvious what angle it's shooting for. The fact that it had humans in mech suits putting up a challenge against an Angel was the biggest eye roll I've done in a while. Such delusions are hilarious, if not just down right pathetic that they even tried to push such an idea to begin with.
>>41056042>Should I even continue to bother with this convo?no, because you're obviously a toddler with your understanding of god
>>41056050Jesus fixed Eve's mistake already.
>>41055894OP here. It doesn't make God look bad. The point is the denial of death/abyssal oneness/hedonism and the embrace of painful reality for the benefit of authentic individuation and expression of free will.
>>41056222It does make God look bad. I watched it myself.
>>41056232How?
>>41055873>How is it gnostic? It is life affirming.No it isn't, it's nihilistic asf, unless you are a newfag strung to the retcon.>>41056222>The point is the denial of death/abyssal oneness/hedonism Not really.>the embrace of painful reality much better> the benefit of authentic individuation and expression of free will.You mean how at every turn ikari resorts to choke the object of his teenage lust misinterpreted as love?
>>41055906>there are 3 endingsThis is like saying any Terminator movie after the first two had any bearing on the story. There is one ending, that of the original series, which was very nice. Then Anno had to get greedy.
>>41056346>No it isn't, it's nihilistic asf, unless you are a newfag strung to the retcon.You can look at it both ways. Humanity can be reborn now with a much more greater capacity for empathy beacuse everyone got fanta'd. You can either view this as hopeful or most of humanity might decide it's better to stay in the fanta soul orgy soup and not return.>Not really.Yeah it is. It's literally the conclusion came to while being inside of Lilith during the third impact.>You mean how at every turn ikari resorts to choke the object of his teenage lust misinterpreted as love?And what happens next? She gently carrases his cheek in compassion. She understood his sadness and desperation as their souls were one. It doesn't justify it as conflict obviously still exists. But it does bring understanding which will hopefully give birth to a better humanity.
Bump
LIVE
A classic
occult implications of Rei Ayanami?
>>41058933Such a fun movie. The theme song is delightful... WITCH!>>41059846She is the male anima of escapism into pleasure/egoic abyss. She is represented by the moon so she is the archetypal mother goddess, which aligns with the plot. >>41060190One of my favourites. Wish oshii made more kino like this.
This and Fire Walk with me
>>41055837This movie was really interesting Everyone is asleep except one guy and a bunch of these powerful entities and the guy realizes that his thoughts aren't his and essentially everything he knows is a lie because of these entities
>>41060584Life is a dream and reality is only what your mind believes it is.
>>41060671
>>41060676(((THEY)))
do you believe in time travel?
>>41062574No
>>41063592faggot
>>41066142NIGGER
>>41066685Whats stonehenge
cowboy bebop
>>41055842>>41055894>>41055916You both didn't watch it. The storyline has nothing to do with God. All the biblical imagery and references was just aesthetics and metaphor. Anno thought it looked cool and that's all.
Rather than just dropping a title and a poster, have a small list so anons know what's what. Will avoid listing easily found or popular classics like Stranger Things, X-Files etc and stuff that uses /x/ elements but is just regular action, drama or whatever like The Walking Dead.>Dark Skies90s TV series. Sadly cancelled after a bit but solid, even if oldish till then. A man tries to solve alien infiltration conspiracy. Many tropes and believable conspiracies references, though a lot of obviously made up stuff to push plot along as well.There's 2013 movie abou alien abductions bearing the same title but I haven't seen it.>ArrivalNice movie that's more ambitious than typical horror or action flick with aliens. It's about first contact, figuring ways of interpreting and understanding a vastly different entities and how easy it is to fuck it up.>Psi FactorAnother largely forgotten 90s gem. All kinds of conspiracies, supernatural beings, weird happenings and a bunch of special investigators figuring it out. Think X-Files but a bigger team of civilian scientists instead of two gov special agents and the style being more drama and fake documentary than thriller.>Haibane RenmeiAn anime. Comfy, not spooky for a change but also melancholic. Girls wake up in a world where they live new lives and try to get over the trauma of the previous one to finally either ascend or fade away. Yes, it's basically bittersweet purgatory in anime style.>MushishiAnother anime but great if you look for something to actually affect you spiritually IRL. It's slow, contemplative - will feel boring if you look for cheap thrills. If you'll take time to "take in" each episode, notice and process your own impressions, it will help you see things in new light. Simple premise - traveling medicine man helps people dealing with mushi - something between primitive creatures and spirits, neither good nor evil but which can affect mundane life in various ways.1/2
>>410687562/2>Jonathan Strange & Mr NorrellA very well done, original approach. Victorian England experiencing revival of magic and a tale of two men, one an oldschool occultist and one - a budding sorcerer, who try to find themselves in this new reality and further their goals as their abilities become publicly known. A really good period drama.>The Lost RoomAnother miniseries. Years ago a mysterious phenomenon happens - a room in a motel in the middle of nowhere was torn from constraints of time and space and mundane objects within acquired supernatural abilities before being spread into the world. A man gets mixed in struggle of various parries trying to acquire those objects and/or access the room as he tries to rescue his daughter lost in it.>The HogfatherA comedy and a thriller in the Pratchett's Discworld (one of the best IMHO writers of his generation, I strongly recommend his series) which is kind of parody/pastische of fantasy and other genres. A world where wizards are bunch of confused geniuses and brilliant idiots, Death, deities and other such things come into being as "living" symbols of concepts etc. The premise? One of them is now missing. An assassin murdered The Hogfather, in-world Santa Claus but also a being hailing to prehistoric times, the bringer of the sun for beginning of another year. What will happen now? As Death temporarily steps in to keep the symbol going, his grand-daughter (long story) tries to figure out this mystery. Witty, silly adventure but provokes some thought on nature of perception and belief.Should be enough for now, tried to write interesting descriptions but if I failed, know that the above stuff is still good. If anons look for particular themes, genres etc, I will pop into the thread later and try to jog my memory some more to make recommendations.
>>41068475this, evangelion is just about the limits of escapism, nothing else
>>41068818Escapism is just a small part of it. It's more about the human condition and individualisation.
I got banned for trying to post the ‘80s movie Heavy Metal
As usual, my recommendation is "Don't Look Now". If you can manage an off season trip to Venice, so much the better.
>>41069893Seems interesting. Thanks for the rec.
>>41060537This and most of David Lynch's filmography
>>41056371there endings, but 4 outcomes:1) third contact happens as intended (rei ending) - everyone fuse together into one soup and unite2) third contact does not happen as intended (asuka ending) - everyone dies, and shinji and asuka are new adam and eve3) third contact does not happen as intended (shinji ending) - only shinji dies, the rest of the world battles the armageddon - kaworu retcons this ending himself4) shinji retcons everything so it never happens - the boobsy OC endingall of them are canon, because we learn in the final movie, that Kaworu retcons it into a groundhog day type of situation, because he wants Shinji to win and be happy, because he loves himKaworu is also a paradox himself, being both Adam (First Angel), and Kaworu (the Final Angel)
>>41068818>>41068475you ever heard of the death of the author? also congrats on being dimwits, it's a miracle that you guys don't stab yourself with fork, while eating
>>41071310Don't be so rude anon
>>41054932That show is antisemitic filth
>>41073124Jews are the enemies of all people
>>41073075you're right, I'm sorry. I went out of lineapologies anons
>>41054932The Venture Bros is a hard disclosure of our reality. There is a secret president. David Bowie is still alive as a villain / good guy fighting the evil government. There is technology out there that’s too advanced for most people to comprehend. Brock Samson is fighting the good fight in the underground against the malevolents.
This is so full of occult hints and jokes.
>>41055842You Did (Not) Understand Eva
>>41059136This movie is pseud af
>>41076937FUCK YEAH X-MEN
>>41077188That the main char is a psychic schizo junkie weirdo is kinda funny.
Why are you copying YouTube top 10 lists with the movie choices?
>>41073124Watch Angel Cop instead.
>>41068756>>41068767The list is good, if a bit boomer. Mushishi is kino.
>>41060537This show has similar themes, season 1 one only tho.
No mention of Higurashi? It's probably the most /x/ anime out there
