Relin posted:Why was Kaworu beheaded when he was? Were the things at the beginning and the one wrapped around Shinji's coffin actual angels or artifical were they controlled by Nerv wh-? When they had the scene with the white moon, were they implying humans had been turned into forms similar to the evas with all those robo corpses (and is that why Seele were brains)? Why did Asuka call the group lillin at the end (wouldn't she just say their names)? Why does this movie feel like they spent all their time programming cube physics for scenes like when they enter terminal dogma? Why is Mari such a worthless character? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy The Necklace bomb was detonated the instant Misato got within range of it again, that's why it happened when it did and not right after Rei took Shinji in the beginning, he had gone outside of the detonator's range.

Cubemario posted:Not really sure how people get so deeply invested into this anime, it's not like watching LOST where you were enduring tons of episodes to get your answers (which never came). It's fun to talk about the mythology behind this show and predict what may happen, but it's not like the Eva series is some huge time sink.

When I think of people saying "Gainax'd" it largely boils down to two groups: Eva complaints and Mahoromatic complaints. edit: hey idiot stop dropping opinions as if they are fact when saying poo poo is bad or not. I thought P&S's ending was perfect. I thought EOE was a magnificent mindfuck. Really, the issue a lot of folks have had with some of Gainax's endings are their gimmick of killing female leads. It's happened in two, possibly more(haven't watched all of Gainax's catalog) series, and really, I was fine with BOTH show's endings that involved those aside from those pretty needless parts.

Rahxephon anime, or Rahxephon manga? Because iirc the manga was reaaaaaaally hosed up. I've got it somewhere, I think that girl is fated to die, no matter what, on her sixteenth birthday and reincarnate forever, always somehow dying on her sixteenth birthday, and the main character rewrites things so they don't exist. Or are both dead but together forever. Or something like that. I think they wind up as a pair of songbirds. It sounds pretty dumb, and the majority of the manga was rather hosed, but it wasn't as bad as my sparse memories make it sound. The anime was wayyyyy more happy go lucky in the long run. Except for episode 19. gently caress.

aniero posted:This is the most well edited AMV I've ever seen. Nah, that title'll always be held by This Is Randomness, but that is indeed a drat fine AMV, and definitely one of the best Evangelion ones(or at least, one of the best serious ones). Kind of a shame it doesn't include anything from 3.33, really.

I await the day when an Evangelion game can properly display an Eva being thrown through a building and that building falls apart/explodes outwards like it would if a 200-foot-tall thousand-ton giant man-thing was thrown into it at 80 miles an hour. That's all I really want. Or to be able to do that, but instead of being thrown into it, shoulder-charge through it.

Intel&Sebastian posted:I think of the show and movies as a really good tale with surprising amount of internal consistency...that also completely drops the ball in places. There's a lot of stuff that was way more thought out and interesting that I initially thought and there's a lot of stuff that you're probably better off just forgetting about. It's one of those works where you think holy poo poo this probably should've been way bigger of a mess than it is. I think you should pop into the recommendation thread and ask for some suggestions. There's nothing quite like Eva(since Eva has had like 20 years to build on its absurdity) but there's plenty of top-notch series out there. I'll kick some suggestions your way myself via PM, but the entire genre of anime is incredibly vast to an extent I don't think you realize, and there are series that are just as good, if not better, than Evangelion.

Shinji doesn't have Asperger's. To say he does shows you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. Shinji has crippling depression and trauma issues as well as one of the worst fathers ever in a world that seems to have lost all of its psychotherapists in Second Impact.

How many run-throughs have there been so far again? Four or so? I like to think the "alternate universe" actually happened in one run-through, and even in that wonderfully idealistic world it all still got hosed up somehow.

Also? 14 years old. That's not really an age to be making significant, literally world-changing decisions. That's an age to be masturbating like 5 times a day, growing six inches in a summer, and not really worrying about anything but what'll be on the next test.

It also has Episode 19. Rahxephon is, I'd say, above-average but not by much, and has some really creative and amazing mecha designs. The Vermillions are among my favorite Mecha designs ever. They're just damned classy, the sleekness of a fighter jet mixed with a mecha, but also having a significant sci-fi feel. The levels to which it gets wordy, "philosophical", and just jammed up its own arse at times really hurts it though. There's some pretty ugly monologues later in the series, and that purple-haired Rei-alike just loving sucks. The manga is literally completely different from the anime aside from the character designs/names and titular mecha. The plot is much more coherent(and dark), and goes from beginning to end in only three volumes. The ending is a pretty big bummer. I liked it a lot and have the three volumes on my shelf.

Temascos posted:Heard bits and pieces about Evangelion for years, and finally just got round to watching the original series and End Of Evangelion... I believe the story is that they showed the hospital masturbation scene to the voice actress for Asuka, asked her to sum up what she thought of it, and then had her say that in the epilogue.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:The characterization changes in Rebuild feel like the characters from the original show, but after they've undergone growth. This is the reason I call it a sequel, or at least it's much more important to me than the "is it literally a time loop" stuff. I like to think each run through is basically the Evangelion world defragmenting itself until its all nice and tidy and not incredibly messed up.
