Re: Has growing up changed how you relate to Evangelion?

Though I am still in early adolescence, I can conclude that my view of the show would be different years ago. When I was 11 my parents announced that we would be moving from our home town that I had grown up in. I went into denial of my feelings towards the move, and consequently became very anxious...

Re: The Satire of Evangelion

The AU sequence in ep. 26 certainly seems like a satire of "slice of life" anime series, specifically the context in which it's presented - an ideal but fake world, in contrast to the flawed but real world. Yeah, that was good satire because in the context of the show it gives you a compl...

Re: Why was Shinji strangling Asuka at the end of EoE?

I see the strangling as having Freudian, specifically sadomasochistic undertones.
Both Shinji and Asuka switch roles as dominant creatures. EoE is very sexual, so it would definitely fit.

Re: Why Rei doesn't live with Gendo?

I admit that saying that Gendo was "jealous" of Yui's feelings towards Shinji, but I think I can still stand by the conclusion of him being burdened by Yui's feelings towards Shinji.

Re: Talking about guns in Evangelion

Why? They were still in use in real life 2015. The primary weapon issued to US troops is an over fifty year old design and most rifles and pistols still in use are only minor improvements on the same handful of operating mechanisms. Evangelion's tech outside the Evas themselves isn't futuristic eno...

Re: What would've you done different with Mari?

I would have removed her outright. Even at the end of 2.0 there was no reason for her to be in the movies. She seems to be there for fan service. Other characters could have taken her role easily.

Re: Talking about guns in Evangelion

I find it funny how in EoE a NERV guard uses an Uzi in an alternate future 2015 with giant mechs.

Re: Why Rei doesn't live with Gendo?

If Rei were to live with Gendo it would have dissolved his illusion of Yui. Rei is an emotionless husk of a human (and isn't really human), so if Gendo spent a lot of time with her he would have seen that she was not the bit of Yui he loved, ad that bit is in the Eva. It is also a bit unrelated, but...

The Satire of Evangelion

I feel like this should really be addressed, that being the apparent satire of NGE. I feel as though the show picks apart mecha in many ways, with some of these ways utilizing irony and other satirical mechanisms. For example, the mere character development pokes at the notion that a 14-year-old wou...

Re: Do people still hate Evangelion 3.33?

I wouldn't say I hate it. It depressed me, and Misato and the others' coldness towards Shinji broke my heart, but I don't hate it.
