...might I ask why you didn't put that image behind spoiler tags and label it NSFW? @WDS (Disclaimer: I'm well aware I'm not a moderator, and am not asking this with any intentions of pretending to be one. I am just asking this as a fellow forum user concerned about the implications of someone unint...

I feel like this post has passed through a slipstream from an alternate universe where Gendou is a hot babe and Fuyutsuki is a D cup loli. For the record, I would not prefer that , if only for the cringeworthy implications of the latter concept. Quite frankly, I'd appreciate you not mischaracterizi...

Yeah, as far as NERV's officer ranks go, in NGE itself she's practically the closest thing to being the ambassador for innocence itself at the bridge. One stand out moment to me is the Bardiel scene and its aftermath, with her reluctance to follow Gendo's orders to put on the autopilot, yet will...

Have you everread the Manga Claymore or angel densetsu. Both work on the premise of a strong looking character that really isn't but are good with making friends and are therefore great. Haven't gotten around to either of those, and Google image search doesn't indicate them to be particularly kawai...

That said with the screaming atempting to make Shinji more human they did make a mistake with making him to overpowered, as it hurts the story. Towards the end Asuka comments that why are they even fighting if it will end with Shinji swooping in and saving the day... And whilst she is supposed to b...

The screaming can stay I say does anyone has a issue with the screaming? It just makes me cringe, and I'm not completely sure why. Maybe I'm embarrassed for the characters, maybe I just find it absurd that the show opted for that over giving the characters ways that aren't as loud to express fear. ...

^ Actually, you seem to understand it rather well for someone who just got into it. The one thing I would question is whether he "believed" he was in the right in the Bardiel scene or just ruled by emotion anyway. They seemed to have left a lot of room for interpretation on whether any mor...

Asuka is my personal favorite character because of how she became who she is, her horrible childhood led her to becoming egotistical and use her pride as a shield against having to form true bonds with others, (kinda like how Shinji is so altruistic.) There are definitely others out there who only ...

1. I'd start with laying off the screaming. I get that Shinji’s scared, but there are those who can cry a (relatively) more dignified quiet-cry even when scared out of their minds. Why couldn’t Shinji have been one of them? The guy learned to play the violin for the sake of pleasing others, but not ...

The issue with Asuka is that she's cuter than a golden poison dart frog... but also more toxic. How much it bugs an individual viewer to see such cuteness as the face of such an abrasive personality would probably depend not exclusively, but at least partly, on how thin-skinned one is. I still remem...

We already have Evangelion, don't we? It works fine as an anime, doesn't it?

If it isn't broken, don't "fix" it.

"Obsessed" is a little too strong a word, but I like how anime often pairs cuteness with shock value when western animation tends to put them in separate shows (to the lesser extent that they even go for cuteness at all) and NGE feels like an especially strong example of this; a dramatic r...

Oh, don't get me wrong, someone like Misato sounds far more fun than either someone like Rei or someone like Asuka anyway, if only for being so much more lively than Rei yet so much more sweet and cheerful (at least at home) than Asuka. When I called it a "thought experiment" I meant in te...

I think people are taking the term "waifu" a bit too literally. People know these characters are fictional, let alone underage in their respective shows. The question is "if you were the same age, or at least comparable, would someone like Asuka make up for her not-so-endearing person...

Because they shoot their shot. Women date guys that actually ask them out. More to the main topic, though: Everyone in Eva has bad taste in everyone. Unless their taste is Ritsuko. She's perfect. well the manga is the only media that goes into some detail and it's clear that it is Yui who seduced G...

Rei gets called a "Waifu" and a "Doll" a lot, but I don't really see it. For one, Hikari, Kaworu, and even Shinji all exemplify the "Waifu" characteristics far more as characters, being either submissive, people pleasing, or willing to aid you with their problems. Miss...

Plenty of otherwise bad people turn out to have a genuine soft spot for their loved ones. Was Yui supposed to assume Gendo couldn't possibly be one of them? If a guy who got in a few fights in college (might be recalling ep 21 wrong, but I think that was mentioned as the biggest supposed red flag) i...

In actuality Asuka frequently expresses jealousy, meaning that she'd probably want to be monogamous. Beyond preferring monogamy, she doesn't seem to be even the slightest bit open to an open/polyamorous relationship involving Shinji. https://i.imgur.com/xOdH9n3.jpeg It's funny how, before I got aro...

I'd find it tough to "rank" them overall. Thrice Upon A Time strikes me as probably the best overall, going from a Return Of The Jedi-esque father-son confrontation to a Deathly Hallows Part 2-esque "all grown up" ending more cheerful than EoE's while tying up more loose ends...

Eh, enjoying combat =/= wanting future combat to be waged using Evas. Unless she somehow also achieved world peace in the process, in which case hopefully she's not selfish enough to put her own enjoyment of combat ahead of that. In any case, yeah, I suppose you've made a good case for her being lik...
