I really like the preachy gender/misogyny reading of eva I also really like the "Hideaki Anno makes every creative decision out of revulsion for anime likers" reading of eva they are kinda the same reading

my favorite part of evangelion is that rei and asuka were designed from the ground to display the toxic side of infatuation + adolescent male sexuality and also to be a big gently caress you to creepy anime fans and they are the most-remembered, most-influential, most-doujinshi'd elements of the show we've had twenty years of asuka clones in anime because nobody got the joke

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)

Catalina posted:I stopped watching anime regularly around 2009 or so, but occasionally I'll get pulled back in by the really good ones. Puella Magi Madoka Magica from 2011 was really good, and for a Magical Girl show aimed at a older teens male audience, the creepy stuff was at an acceptable (for me, 31 female with low tolerance) minimum. Attack on Titan from 2013 and still running was also very good, and I find one of the best stories in any genre, period. The author has no tolerance for moe bullshit and creepy fanservice, so there's none of that. In fact, when the magazine it ran in told him to draw the main female character in a bikini, he put her in a masculine sports one and drew her with washboard six pack abs madoka was good but especially in the sense of being a concise story with a clear arc and gimmick attack on titan was fun when i watched it and i agree on the art style but i cannot tolerate long runners

rewatching because of this thread, the series is very different when you aren't watching it in the middle of crippling depression
