the biggest point of criticism of nge i've found myself agreeing with is that there was very little anno gained in terms of "the point" by showing 12 year old girls get groomed and/or sexually assaulted as they wage war against aliens the point could have been conveyed more clearly (obviously bunches of people don't get it) and without resorting to that kind of depiction (which, you know, is kind of creepy, and counterproductive)

Is there any possibility he's not a total creep? No, no there isn't. Just look at his AV.

The Dennis System posted:I've seen the original series and the End of Evangelion, but I don't understand what the hell was even going on in that show. Maybe someone here could explain the show to me and answer a couple of questions? This is off the top of my head 1. The angels are Adam's children. Their goal is to reunite with Adam which will end the lives of Liliith's children 2. The Evangelions are clone of Adam but they have the souls of humans in them. 3. Lilith is the source of all life on Earth. She is a seed of life sent by an alien race. 4. Adam is another seed of life 5. Seele is an organization that wants to prevent the angels from merging with Adam, and then later to join Adam with Lilith so that humanity becomes one entity. They believe that humanity is an evolutionary dead end and that combining humans into one entity will solve this problem. 6. Nerv is an organization started by Seele to operate the Evangelions to stop Adam from joining with the angels 7. He wants to reunite with his wife through joining Rei with Adam 8. He is a human clone with Adam's DNA 9. The Second Impact is when people did experiments with Adam. The Third Impact is when Adam joins with Lility. hth

That's all apocryphal stuff from the video game, it's studio sanctioned fanfiction.

Eva was just a big scam so that Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi could make a Godzilla movie in the year of our lord 2016.

I always thought unit 00 and unit 01 were clones of Lilith. The rest were definitely Adam clones though. I also think that Seele doesn't get what it wants, since Shinji ends up being the arbiter of human destiny instead of them. At first he's like "Make it all feel better!" cause Shinjis a little bitch. But at the end he realizes that all humanity being one being sucks and frees everyone.

But at the end he realizes that all humanity being one being sucks and frees everyone. 01 is defs. Lilith-derived. That's one of the Big Secrets of the seele and nerv bosses, along with the fact that it's lilith, not adam who is entombed in terminal dogma. It's why 01 is central to both gendo and seele's plans. It is the eva that can merge with the greater Lilith. I presume this merging is necessary because seele wants control over the fruit of life as well as the fruit of knowledge and by design Lilith is only endowed with the fruit of knowledge. In the series the physical manifestation of the fruit of life is the s2 engine. The combination of these two powers is why complete 01 is considered godlike. In that lovely video game where the ancient aliens angle is revealed, it's apparently also shown that seele has a three level misinformation campaign going on. To the public, they are all "Holy poo poo, we are under attack by xenos we don't know wtf. Lets defend earf, guise." To seele peons they are all "We know where the xenos come from, this thing called Adam. We are experimenting with the tech to contain Adam and destroy its spawn." The existence of Lilith, humans being Lilith-spawn, 01 being made from lilith, the fact that seele has the instruction manual, and their apotheosis gambit is all seraphic/8x classified and only known to the seele council. Seele absolutely does get what they want, for a while at least. Humanity is merged with the powers of both progenitors in EoE and that is seele's preferred endgame. The god that they create kills itself though, so they only get immortality of a sort rather than that plus unlimited cosmic power.

Its basically anno going "YOU WANTED GIANT CRAZY ROBUTTS? HERES YOUR ROBUTTS, A$$HOLES" *shinji jacks off, spends twenty minutes screaming* At least he "gets" his fanbase.

I don't really think any sane person would make Shinji Ikari their god. The one action he does take in that entire movie is to unmerge all the souls. I have to figure Seele is pretty unhappy with that outcome.

My roommate Freshman year in college used to say "beep" every time he touched a button and had a framed photo of Rei he kept at his desk because she was his girlfriend. I recently watched Rebuild 1&2 and they were fun but in a post "walking in on your terminally autistic roommate masturbating to his framed picture of Rei" world I really have to say that Eva is many times more good than bad.

I have to give them credit, it's got to be hard to have a show with a main character who is literally loving terrible at every single thing he does. The only time he's an effective pilot is when he's unconscious.

Bert Roberge posted:I don't understand any of this thread. Eva and cowboy bebop are the gold standard of mostly non-weeb anime and both have decent dubs. Just why though? Why get into anime? Really dumb idea imo. Look at how stupid and lame I have made myself seem with my horrible, tragic evaposting in this thread. Is that what you want for yourself? REALLY? Just dont do it bro. Blissful ignorance is the key to a happy, fulfilled life. If you need more convincing, go read adtrw for 5 minutes.
