Re: Im writing a Thesis about Evangelion
One of the most evident Lacanian influences in Evangelion has to do with identity , and how the Other conforms the almost broken "ego" (according to Lacan, the "ego" is broken, because it sustains itself around the self-delusion of the subject). I am not going into detail because...

Re: Why are Rei and Asuka often portrayed together?
Well, of course it's going to sell more if you cater to it more... Idk if that's the real reason of why it sells more. In this fucking society women are treated like shit in porn, and in Japan that goes without saying. Women are hyper-sexualised to the point what really sells is humiliate, sexualis...

Re: What You Did NOT Like About Evangelion
Episode 24. It's the core of my problems with EVA.
Also, the train sequences. They are too redundant and pretentious, and pointless as well.

Re: Why are Rei and Asuka often portrayed together?
Because nobody cares (sexually) about Shinji... and for good reasons. Neither boys nor girls... right?
Also, sexualizing girls sells. There's no other reasons, I assure you.

Re: Were all the Angels headed the wrong way?
Angels are full of crap. It's difficult to say if they were headed the wrong way, because It's not even clear what their way is. Probably even they don't know. Merging with Adam? Merging with Lilith? Both? Or none? Maybe they act instinctively. Their primal goal is being with somebody, maybe they do...

Re: The Satire of Evangelion
Motivate SOME character feelings, that's what I meant. The mecha fights are not a vehicle to the plot, at least not as a Mecha show is, but just one element. A very important element sometimes, like in the case of Asuka and Shinji, but there are so many important elements in the show, what encompass...

Re: The Satire of Evangelion
Using the mecha genre as a vehicle, Anno explores other ideas, but the series still falls firmly within the mecha genre. Taking the fact that they're not "really robots" is splitting hairs on a grand scale, and is not enough to disqualify the show from the genre. Anno is not exploring oth...

Re: The Satire of Evangelion
The Evas not being true mechas are part of the deconstruction. In the first several episodes, the series is presented very much as a mecha show, and other than a few clues here and there, it's not until much later that the audience is informed of anything otherwise. So, if the Mechas are not but se...

Re: The Satire of Evangelion
To me Eva is not a mecha. EVAS are not mechas, and they are not even the focus of the show. So no, it's neither a deconstruction nor a mecha show. "A deconstruction of the super-robot genre." What do you understand by deconstruction? Does this word mean "the same elements but differen...

Re: Who is the EVA character you feel most sorry for?
If by happy, you mean becoming a martyr for Third Impact, doomed to an eternity alone within the Eva, just so a group of old men wouldn't completely ruin the world, then yes. Yui is very happy. By happy I mean achieving her goals, so yes, taking this shallow definition yes, Yui is happy. I guess th...

Re: Who is the EVA character you feel most sorry for?
Honestly, Rei. Shinji and Asuka were victims of events that unfolded, but Rei never even had a chance to be happy. She was manufactured in a lab to pilot an Eva and bring about Third Impact. She never had a chance to properly live. Everybody is a victim of events that unfolded, so that doesn't real...

Oh Season 4 is very needed. The story of BoJack is far from over. That depends on how you wanna conclude the series. I think if you wanna finish with Bojack running away to the wilderness, escaping from his past and his relatives after "committing" suicide, It's fine. I mean, his interact...

I've come the Tumblr post about the interview where Miyamura replied with a "no" on wether or not Asuka actually likes Shinji. And seeing as she is her voice actress, she seems to know Asuka inside and out I don't know why we should be taking account of what a seiyuu says or thinks. She d...

Re: Your Stupidest Eva Interpretations
I've always thought (until relatively recently) that the 400% synchronization rate is because there were 4 souls merged: Yui's, EVA's, Shinji's and Zeruel's. Why Zeruel? Because EVA 01 had absorbed his paper arm and a fragment of his soul were in this moment within the EVA. Sounds cool, right? :w00t...

Re: EVA 2.0 OST= Kare Kano OST? WTF???
Bach's Mass is unstructured, in the sense that each section is a separate setting, and he has little freedom to change what texts he sets and in what order. At any rate, he didn't get to choose the structure, any more than Sagisu chose the structure of Ha (or any of the Eva films). Musically he (Ba...
