ok so watched 3.0+1.0 and it was fine, easily the best of the Rebuilds. It doesn't hit like the original and I don't give a gently caress about canon so I could take it or leave it, but there were good elements. I feel like if I hadn't been invested in the series as a young teen, watched the rebuilds throughout college and my young adult life I might be less interested in it. thematically it is good but...uncomfortable in light of what's going on in the world. the total irony of a film that's about rejecting and letting go of evangelion, reversing commodification, literally, and breaking cycles of pain through shared sacrifice and understanding in light of covid and global meltdown and the mountains of plastic poo poo this film created. Anno is a multi-millionaire with a hot wife, so this definitely feels very left-libbish. EoE from a marxist perspective was about explicitly courting destruction in the face of psychopathic elite plans, about accepting universal brotherhood through organic means rather than psycho-spiritual capitalist blobbing. shinji's wish at end of eva is: to let everyone choose if they want to come back and try to rebuild hell world, to go on living with the recognition that things might be in inexorable decline, to accept the possibility of pain in a divided mankind, to reject fusion with the capitalist world-being on human terms in 3.0+1.0 it's actually insanely selfish: now that you've learned how to operate within the world, just wish away late stage, apocalyptic capitalism and return to less hosed (but ultimately doomed) real world of 2020/2021. Things aren't poo poo because of the Evangelions, you fool KaptainKrunk has issued a correction as of 02:02 on Aug 15, 2021 |

If you want to watch "philosophical anime" that isn't basically just YA fiction, the best bet is to look for stuff that's adapted from the Japanese literary canon.

tokin opposition posted:give me recs for philosophical anime ping pong rules, and is very philosophically existential, as others have said i loved it Patlabor 2 is fully sick, is philosophical but maybe more on the tom clancy side From the New World/Shinsekai Yori is really really good -- to anyone who hasn't seen it, just stick with it. it starts out feeling like some kinda YA hogwarts thing and and your mental alarms will go off that it's some boring magic teens show, but there are time skips and really interesting ruminations on labor theory and authoritarianism/fascism... it turns into... a lot Planetes is a personal favorite that i think takes a big philosophical/existential turn in the latter half (with only hints of it in the first half) and is super worthwhile Tatami Galaxy is pretty philosophical in a house of leaves sort of way I'm having a hard time here because "philosophical" is too broad, what kinda philosophical are you aimin for here. There's shows where it's clear the writers/directors have a distinct philosophy they want to impart and explore, like Planetes, and then there's shows that are ~philosophical~ like Lain

I wouldn't really say From the New World is very "philosophical," so much as it's a story about growing up in an imperialist society and realizing that your own people have always been the bad guys.

I think From the New World does one better than tons of scifi about oppressive societies, in that it never becomes a "we have to tear it all down" power fantasy, and if anything it unrolls in a way that shows some of the grim but necessary aspects of their society in light of the fact that everyone is basically a walking WMD, but then you get into all the stuff with the queerrats and subconscious leakage and whooooo boy

The protagonist grows into being a functional adult engaging in the bureaucracy of empire just like anybody else. The way it's able to walk the tightrope between having a natural sympathy for the protagonist's POV having to survive the revolution, and a clear political sympathy for the queerrats is a real accomplishment. There's never a real doubt that "justice" would be on the side of the losers. Don't check out the manga adaptation of the novel, by the way. It's softcore porn. It's funny in that context to think that Digibro panned the anime for not being "sexy enough." Pener Kropoopkin has issued a correction as of 17:03 on Aug 15, 2021 |

I feel like if I hadn't been invested in the series as a young teen, watched the rebuilds throughout college and my young adult life I might be less interested in it. Yeah Eva isn’t particularly leftist (to be very fair, most popular and even less popular media isn’t leftist either). I think this thread even discussed this very topic before discussing things like how it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, great man theory in media, etc. It’s why UC Gundam has decades of media where there are still more Zeon remnants the timeline can never really be allowed to move past that and show something that’s just not lovely decaying liberal order or some vaguely hopeful “space magic will save the day.” In other words Shinji should read theory. Successfully managing your depression and self actualization are necessary but not sufficient to avoid capitalism destroying the world. In the main series and EoE, the Elite are able to destroy the world unopposed. In Rebuild things work out a lot better, but still pretty bad. Alternatively the Angels should have unionized and worked together to destroy humanity. Umurangi Generations is a leftist photography game set in an Eva style cyberpunk world. I highly recommend it. There is a Pen-Pen character.Also, literal Evas show up several times, but you are some poor civilian who has to deal with Eva events at ground level.

The plot is about the protagonist trying to decide on which club to join in college and each episode involves him joining a different club, having his life unravel completely, and then the narrative rewinding to before he picked a club. It slowly builds up to an incredible final arc. It’s a must watch Kit Walker has issued a correction as of 23:42 on Aug 15, 2021 |
