they'd of found a way to do it anyway eventually, like they now use tech to fake lilith. Thats the one thing i'm confused about. It seems like humanity was reaching a point techwise where they were rivaling 'the gods' but Gendo was all like 'we have no choice but to do this elaborate ritual or we'll be exterminated'. Exterminated by who? You've murdered all the angels as part of the elaborate ritual. You have giant space battleships that rival the gods in power. Who even were 'the gods' at that point? It can't be the adams because they just formed a sentai team and got eaten.

edit: lol i forgot for a second this is all just to see his dead wife, did anything he say matter other than that point?

She was probably middle class

As a cultural touchstone, Evangelion absolutely beats RahXephon. But as shows, I absolutely enjoyed RahXephon waaaaaay more. Everything from the personalities and roles of the characters to the emotional climaxes to even the final romantic twist made it a far more enjoyable show. I felt like I had to really push myself through Evangelion since it was such a miserable slog, but RahXephon was fun and I genuinely wanted to know what happened next. It’s not as good of a show critically, but I still liked it more

Continuing on that thought, Eureka Seven is also really good.

But not the sequels and spin-offs. Just the original show.

I don’t think a “the apocalypse is capitalism” reading of evangelion really holds up well tbqh. The story is entirely about the emotional lives of the characters and everything else is just a vehicle for that.


on a side note the English script for 3.0+1.0 is dogshit lmao. sounds like the lines were all machine-translated and given to the dub actors in alphabetical order with no context and then they used the first take of every reading.

New Eva is interesting for being a 25 year aged take on the shows core concepts, but now with Dad Feelings interwoven.

The actions is just absolute dogshit though. I've never really been into eva for the robot stuff but the original show handled it so much better. This poo poo is so boring. The huge technical landscapes and character drama are good but christ everything past the original show in terms of fun robot stuff is brain meltingly dull. It's the matrix neo vs agent smith spin kicking scene but replastered over everything forever.

Macross is 40 goddamned years old now, you would think at least hitting that level of quality might be in the cards but no.

Our war against free speech cannot end until we silence this bronze beast!


we started watching the OG series of eva again after 4.0 and holy poo poo the OG series is *so* much better than rebuild

i much prefer the plot of the OG show to whatever ended up being the plot of rebuild, the factions at play and character motivations are much more clear, and theres a lot more time for nice little moments, lots of great shots and character work

plus its also way more cynical and i miss the old radical cynicism of 90s and 80s anime, where you got the sense the authors had some experience or opinions on the real world

Robot fights should be slow messy slogs. More people pulling off their arms to bash opposing robots. More opening your cockpit because your cameras are broken.

This is kind of an odd take given how open Anno is about how his experience of the real world since EVA shaped the Rebuild series.
