You're a homosexual for watching this shit in the first place. Does that clear things up for you?
Cool post my dude :^)
It's a look into the cortex of Shinji's mind and what he imagines everyone thinks of him.
Actually, I don't know. Anno is a hack.
Why would a helicopter stop within kicking distance to shoot its guns?
To get inside the target's AT field
Shinki learned how to be an individual and they're all happy for him.
Congratulations, anon
I still cry every time
To understand the context of the last two episodes you should watch End of Evangelion right after episode 24 up to the point of Shinji's mindfrick montage when he goes into Instrumentality, then watch 25-26, then finish EoE.
Seems a bit complicated for a children's show
If you want the full context of Evangelion you have to deal with four timeloops worth of content.
Yeah, my kid loved that scene where he jerked off to the comatose 14 yr old.
>finish EoE.
this is not an ending Anno
yeah it is
You're right, it is an ending.
Just an extremely shitty one.
>watch End of Evangelion right after episode 24 up to the point of Shinji's mindfrick montage when he goes into Instrumentality, then watch 25-26, then finish EoE.
go frick yourself, this is terrible advice and you should stop parroting it.
If you prefer having the plot of the series interrupted for 46 minutes because Gainax ran out of money that's fine too.
>ran out of money
This is a myth
That was intentional. Were you hoping Shinji wouldn't hesitate to kill him?
>That was intentional.
Sure thing.
Man, Anno could've stretched it out 10 times more and some anons would still eat up all that shit because ,,muh artistic vision''.
2.9 MB
If they had the money they would have done the same scene where it was motionless but had the camera rotate around Eva-01 for sixty seconds. Could have timed it so that it just needed one rotation and ended up back on the original frame then popped Kaworu's top. Would have been the perfect time to bust out some high fidelity 1996 era CGI.
whats this webm from?
But that's precisely when the cartoon is elevated to real art
It recontextualises everything you've just seen
the events of 25-26 and eoe are the same imo
You do not need to do this. You can watch in release order and if you are semi-literate you will understand the general idea. Rewatches will clarify. 5D complicated watching orders are liable to confuse you more than anything.
>dude if you have mental issues and cant function properly....just stop having them.
>CONGRATULATIONS!
But that is basically true for most people.
For the few who have actual brain chemistry imbalances, 80% of those could be fixed with diet, the rest have a real problem.
Thanks dr chud
Reminder that Mari won, not Asuka, Rei or Misato but Mari
No, Kaworu is the real winner since he got a real man like Kaji
>I don't understand it, please tell me more 🙂
If you stop hating yourself you can literally walk away from anime and go outside, a whole new world opens up to you.
As opposed to EoE's "you want what the ending looked like in narrative, fine, it sucks, see you should have gone outside". Which isn't as mean spirited as Shin Fellators make it out to be.
Rebuild tries to blend the two by keeping contriving the narrative such that Shinji can actually, literally, walk out of the anime, instead of doing it in spirt in the tv ending or being trapped in his reality by EoE.
He learned to live in the world, both as an individual and a small part of it. It’s not that deep when you think about it, but it is powerful.
Why is a 14 year old personality so complex that he needs to go full scizh to find clarity within himself?
The 14 year old character is a vehicle for the thoughts of the adult filmmaker. Every self-conscious adult is complex enough to warrant an equivalent schizo dive, though most don't feel the need to.
The congratulations scene is something but Yui asking if Shinji will be alright with his decision is the most underrated scene in Eva
actually makes me tear up
what decision
even the gays who made it still dont understand it!
I haven't watched it since I was a young buck some 15-20 years ago, but here is my most likely wrong interpretation
>adam+lilith (dna or whatever) is the source of the universe
>reuniting them returns the universe to its primordial state to be reborn
>shinji (the little moron) is present so his consciousness effectively exists at the source of the universe's rebirth
>so he can remake it as he sees fit
>he imagines/sees various alternative universes
>eventually he realises it was just perfect just the way it was 🙂
>everyone applauds, good job
>it's a metaphor for accepting your own gay little life
Yeah, that's wrong
Glorification of mental illness
I have never been able to finish Eva. Not even the series let alone EoE and other shit. I think I made it halfway through the show at least.
>My first real exposure to Eva was Love Hina Dating Sim where there is an Easter egg that has Rei's head explode or some shit
>it's a Asuka is on her period episode
The end of the original series was perfect and I feel bad about watching EoE, a pointless series of explosions for morons who didn't understand the original work and needed something easier to digest.
I'm personally convinced that EoE was just Anno shitting on all his "fans" after seeing them in person whining about how they didn't get it. Same with the Rebuilds, only those are just a quick way to make money.
EoE is the intended ending, they ran out of money.
I don't care about the party line. I liked the original show, I thought the movie was mediocre.
Same here. I loved the original ending and I didn't even watch EoE or any of the movies and never intend to do so at all. The original ending was absolutely perfect and resonated with me on a deeper level.
Original ending is better, but it's hard to tell wtf is happening without EoE.
>Be mecha show about safeguarding humanity after a strange and unknown cataclysm
>MC works for a shadowy government organisation he doesn't trust
>Two love interests who MC fumbles around
>Unexplained Chrstian motifs throughout the show
>Ends on a weird mindfrick ending that doesn't explain anything
>Be the best show ever made
>Don't be Evangelion
Who?
Here is what you need to understand. Anno is one of the biggest hacks of all time. His only good project is Kare Kano. EVA is pseud shit.
Watched it for the first time as a 30-something with my girlfriend last year. I actually really enjoyed it and I could immediately connect with Shinji and what he was going through.
I think evangelion is underrated. Even my girlfriend could identify with Shinji's struggles. I think it is more pungent now in 2023 for millennials than it was when it came out.
You all will never be women
Frick tranime
it's shinji figuring out and rejecting instrumentality (a metaphor for rejecting death)
He overcame his problems and everyone was happy for him. The outcast, at the last moment, forgives the village and is in turn accepted. What don't you understand?
Asuka > Rei
Why do nips always have child soldiers?
>demons/ayys/ninjas are invading, lets send this 12yr old
Can just be the target audience, esp for deeper stuff like eva, also western equivalents aimed at young adults like capeshit dont have 12yr old protagonists.
>Can
*cant
Yes it can. Underage target - underage protag.
Come to think of it, all the shonenshit I watch features protags <20 years old.
They don't have any soldiers now since Japan is a pacifist nation; the only living people who were ever soldiers in Japan are 90+ year olds who were child soldiers in WW2
THUS, child soldiers in cartoons
>Misato Katsuragi > rest
simple as
You're not supposed to it's just
>hating yourself is... LE BAD
and trannies simping over the female characters, plus MUH CHRISTIAN SYMBOLISM. Overrated dumpster
Hideaki Anno is an egomaniac with his head planted firmly up his ass.
That's literally it.
We can all see you being a wimp
If you get out of that chair we will clap
