Lol can't speak Japanese but watching it was fun. I like the style. Reminds me of the possibility that Eva can be normal and comedic.

Again, this is just your way of interpreting the series. I don't see it that way at all. It was Shinji's extreme desire to save Rei that awakened Eva-01 and allowed it to go berserk and combat the Angel. Yes, billions died, but the alternative was that the Eva-01 did not awaken, and the Angels would...

Well I think you're watching a few scenes from the films and saying that anno hates Rei. I agree that anno uses storytelling to bring up concepts of escapism and otaku culture. Rei got a bad ending but so did everyone else. I think Rei served her purpose perfectly without it turning into a soppy rom...

Yeah lol. You might see things a certain way but I sure don't.

I also thought 2.22 ending was one of the best scenes of all time. I thought it was really setting up for sth. I feel like Rei is not really a waifu model but a surrogate for psychological concepts. The point of Rei conceptually is more in relation to the Oedipus complex, whereby Anno is positing ho...

The most coomerest anime ever made, probably. I haven't played Nier but now I guess I have to. Are we going to make a new subforum for this? Lol I feel like I have to play this as well lol. I understand Nier only based on my older brother playing it, and trying it myself only a little bit. I watche...

Mind-blowing. Rather unexpected

This animation did it before

One Punch Man season 3 . This is a very interesting experience, in that I am watching it mainly for its declining animation quality and the public reaction to several infamous scenes. It's not often that an anime is so bad that it is good, but I find it very entertaining spotting scenes where there...

Honestly I can't imagine holding some of these opinions on Anno's writing I'm seeing and being an active member of an Evangelion fan forum. I mean you guys do you I guess but its very alien to me. As far as the short itself goes I'm looking forward to it, whether its just some meta thing or more Re...

Wow big news but is it going to be worth it?

Wow, I mean it definitely would have been a surprising finale. Good find

Bebop and Eva were both great for their time and both are still considered classics. I guess if you were to debate their timelessness, it might be Eva that comes out on top. Right now, we are in a time when the eva rebuild has resolved, and the netflix bebop was cancelled, so we no longer have any u...

Look Back (2024) - Garden of Words x Little Sister's Elder Sister (manga one shot) The movie’s focus on childhood friendship made it very innocent compared with the rest of Fujimoto’s unhinged work and the fantastical elements and the presentation of children’s imaginations were animated superbly w...

sweeeet

Earlier this week I saw a cute cat poster outside the local independent cinema, so got myself tickets for today to see a Gints Zilbalodis double feature. First was the cat movie, Flow , following a black cat in post-human world, whose solitary existence is disrupted by a sudden flood, becoming caug...

I do like some of the backstory additions, detail changes, order of event switcheroos, etc. I particularly like, for instance, the manga's version of Instrumentality--all the word bubbles at once in that double-page spread is a brilliant use of the format change, and couldn't be done in any other m...

What would Asuka be like if she was the main protagonist in the place of Shinji, like what Anno had originally planned? Would things be more different? You mean when they were originally planning the main character of Eva to be a girl? I don't think Asuka was ever considered as the main character b...

Shinji definitely appeals more to the ideology and concepts behind Evangelion, making him the embodiment of self-doubt and existentialism. Asuka is also an extremely well-written character who changed the pacing and mood of the series as a whole, making a huge impression due to her antagonism and ri...

From my perspective, the rebuild tells a story about a relationship that did not work out despite strong feelings between each other. It's the typical unrequited love scenario, or Romeo and Juliet where it's a doomed romance due to circumstance. I recently found an article on how Anno was a bit of a...
