Hello to everyone who is still around in this sacred place!

Hi, i joined this website because Evangelion is one of my favorite pieces of media ever created. I finished the show and Eoe back in april, and it was some of the most beautiful, thoughtful, impactful moments in anime(i have not watched the rebuild movies yet, but maybe soon i will). End of Evangelion is my second favorite film of all time, just behind Blade Runner. I'm looking to discuss and meets some cool friends here:)

Hello! I joined because I recently really got into Evangelion after looking for shows/games with religious imagery, honestly I wasn't looking for an anime but this show changed that! It has became my all time favorite show in just a couple weeks because of how it covered the mentality of the characters and their struggles, and I honestly do not believe another piece of media I have watched has done that to the extent that Evangelion does. I came across this website after looking for a fan translation of one of the PS2 games, and I was blown away by how many people are still active on here

I hope i am able to make a couple friends and maybe understand the story a little more..... lmao

Welcome!

Hello I am here to share ideas and my view about Evangelion.its just that simple.

Hello to everyone.
I am messaging because I think I didn't opened up previously.
Sighh since I am feeling offcourse lonely so I am here to feel seen. .
I have been banned from reddit which offcourse has affected my many plans to post something serious things.(Don't worry it's due to vpn and constant log out etc etc. as my account has been locked for safety reasons many times and I am not given any reason as to why).
My main purpose is to share my view take views which offcourse frustrates me as I relate to Shinji so...... . You can understand it heh .
Either way I i relate both to both Asuka and Shinji(Asuka when I have to supress my suffering and showing how good I am from outside and Shinji is i am truly a Shinji you can call my 14 year old selve as Shinji in Eoe as each thing shown is kind of literal phase of mine, dehumanisation,wanting everyone to just die,wanting to die(not literally but thinking i have no future),feeling I will just ruin everything, sigh.I felt very lonely either way it will get depressed if i keep telling u.).
Either way Evangelion is the first piece of fiction that I actually ever took seriously,like really serious.I never took an anime death as anything emotional.I used to think “Meh it's for kids to cry on anime death” offcourse until watching eoe.I never took an shipping seriously.Damn how childish i am.though I am just close to be young adult.

It's not like I needed to watch Evangelion series when I started watching it(Sighh its been just 4 months damn it).Its just that Evangelion resurfaced many memories of mine.The myopic world view of world just like Shinji.The only difference is i tried to connect but people ignored it knowing I was trying to connect,it demotivated me.Until I got good friends from who I don't know why they even accepted me.But till that time I had actually decided that this will be my shonen charcter arc and I will develop and offcourse is did very well but not mature enough due to less interaction it is hard for me to interact with others as I am mostly dense and don't understand jokes(very well )(And offcourse can't frame a good joke genuinely )or when a person shares there deep thoughts and i don't have much topic to talk about.Sometimes I feel a mere child is better than me.I am afraid.Afraid of most of the things here,I am confused.
Why I love Evangelion is even if it makes me suffer because it is my mirror.Shinji a fucked up child who never gets an proper charcter development till he has to properly fuck things up(Hah narrative based biases),even when a proper guidance from good figure like Kaji can do a good job.Asuka as I have to mask off my suffering though I am usually passive like Shinji I can also act like Asuka when I am genuinely comfortable.I hate my Asuka to not get help,I hate my Shinji to be wanting to be dependent.

Sighh I feel it as an duety to live in this world.And i have no idea why I think like it.Damn I have many weird ideology.I guess it's because I am still in my head.Oh god save me since schools will be over soon and again I am afraid I will connect with others.Though I usually manage to pull it off.

So that's it.Its actually much of my embarrassment to post this as I am actually venting of a large amount of weight from my mind and telling the things I will never tell to anyone.
Thank you for reading.

Hi heh sorry idk what to say but this emoji is cool

Hello everyone! My name is Diego, I joined because I love Evangelion, the themes, characters, philosophy, and overall aesthetics. It is probably the single show that has had the most impact on my life and means a lot to me personally and wanted to interact with the community. I first watched the original series a little over a year ago when I was first getting into anime and ever since it has been my favorite anime and one of my favorite pieces of media in general. Evangelion just resonates with me and endures no matter how many times I re watch it. It really helped me see what animation as medium of storytelling is capable of doing, especially EoE, one of the most brutally powerful films I have ever watched as well as my favorite ending to any series ever. It's awesome to be apart of a community with the same interest as me especially considering I don't know anyone in my personal life who has actually seen Evangelion and I really look forward to being able to discuss and talk about the show with other people, thank you!

Welcome!

Hello!

I was wondering how did Asuka practiced with her Eva before it was completed?

Hello!

They have training mechanisms. Do you remember how Shinji was training in a simulated environment in episode 3? It's probably something similar to that.

Hello to everybody.

hello

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, folks.

May your days be merry and bright.

Cheers,

Hello, nice to meet everyone here. Im Harrison, a 25 year old from the United States.

I'm a recent college grad that has interest in video games, space, history, rabbits, and nature.

Like lot's of other people I have joined here because I love Evangelion, it's my favorite anime honestly. I first saw it a year and a half ago, and only recently watched the rebuild movies, so im fairly new to this. Most animes don't really stick with me but this one is the exception.

Im not exactly a very active person on social media and ive never really joined a forum before so this is the first time ive ever posted on one, and Im really only posting because I randomly stumbled across this site today. But I do hope to perhaps contribute in some way and maybe make a friend or two on here- its nice to see many Eva fans.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays also. I hope to see y'all around.

Welcome! And merry Christmas to you too

It looks like I either forgot to post here or maybe my post didn't go through. I have already posted in a few places and even made a couple of new topics.

Since this is a slow board I expect it will be a while before I get much more conversation but I am happy to be here. I miss the dynamic of old-fashioned dedicated forums--social media and omnisites like Reddit are often not that good.

Anyway, I am an older fan in terms of age but a newer fan In terms of appreciation. I was already finishing college when NGE came out in Japan. As I was one of the minority who actually used the internet in those days, I was somehwhat aware of it. Certain aspects, like the song Fly Me to the Moon and the overall "look" did make an impression.

I had always liked science-fiction anime, which was more of a niche taste back then, and Evangelioin seemed intriguing. A couple of friends showed me EOE somewhere in there, and maybe they showed me the death and rebirth or something. It made no sense to me at all despite there being a couple of themes that caught my interest. Fortunately I forgot nearly all of it (sort of) by the time of my next exposure. Back in the aughts, that is several years after my confusing first view of a couple hours of it, I saw (I think) the first two or three episodes. My interest level at that time was not great--it looked less like something I wanted to watch than I expected at first.

Something kept me clean from rebuild spoilers over the years and I went all the way through the show in a binge that lasted days--I lost a lot of sleep because it was very hard not to watch just one more. My first pass confirmed that I mostly liked the show and Eoe.

It was a re-watch ofthe original series plus EOE (actually the hybrid version with both endings) that really won me over. It is not without its flaws and it is not for everyone, but to me it really is one of the great entries in science fiction anime/manga than I know of. Definitely in good company with the others I value. I think the second watch is better than the first.

A couple of nights ago I binged the rebuilds, out of a mixture of curiosity and obligation. Very glad I kept spoiler free for the most part. I think the original series was superior, but for those who KNOW the original, the rebuilds provided some interesting and sometimes enjoyable added content.

Sorry this is a long intro post but "Hello!"

I look forward to discussions and maybe finding good venues to discuss this interesting saga because part of its value is that you can think and talk about it in so many ways. But I think the real heart or core of it is that if you are like me you just love the characters. You always want to know more.

Hello

Heyo! Watched the series in its entirity at the end of last year with my fiance and had a great time. At this point, everything is firmly stuck in my head. The wiki has been a great resource to help me digest a lot of things and absorb more series info (any independently hosted wiki is a blessing.) Planning on doing a rewatch at some point to absorb even more info, the difficulty is my fiance is photosensitive so we have to use some caution when watching (even in a brightly lit room, the flashing German text was bad even for me.) Very excited to be here and talk about one of my favourite series.

hi!! I just found out about this place from the dc, it’s fun.
