I don't remember specific episodes (because it was so long) but I do remember key moments or fights. For me, it's the only anime that's more of an experience than an episodic series. To be honest, a lot of it wasn't memorable but it was usually always advancing plot of character development.

Probably the same, everyone would call it 2deep4u edgy pseudo religious shit at first but it would receive post airing popularity which would finance EoE and lead to its everlasting fame.

EoE was truly as masterpiece.
>>
>>89244174
Depends, if eva influenced shows exist anyway it would be seen as derivative, but even if they didn't tastes have shifted and it wouldn't have the impact it did. Like The Beatles, if they had come out years later they wouldn't be seen as remarkable, if they had come out years earlier they would have been seen as oddities and quickly forgotten, Timing is not everything but its certainly important.
>>
24, 25 and 26 together form the core of the best Evangelion episodes, but my guilty pleasure would have to be episode 13, with the virus Angel that infects NERV. Nothing like 90s computer hacking antics to get the blood pumping.

I don't think it changed robot design, in general they (not EVA) still seem to be based on Gundam/Mazinger Z. I was actually a little disappointed the first time I saw an EVA because of how organic and somewhat grotesque it looked but I've come to love the form.

Was this the one where the EVA pounded the shit out of that one angel, going berserk mode? I remember the episode vaguely just for that part, and the part in 2.0. I always wondered if Shinji was conscious during those episodes or if he was passed out and his sub/unconscious was acting out.

I loved the Eva designs precisely because of the organic and grotesque look.

You guys should rewatch Evangelion.

I'm not even kidding when I say the end of 26 (After the school thing) pulled me out of my MAJOR depression.

It's the reason I put Eva up so high, the ending of EoE also helped. Mainly because it gave me the ability to see how other people handle it, and handling depression like that was the best way for me.

I hate what Super Robot Wars did to the fucking plot. I don't care what anyone says, it's a shit game with a shit plot.

But the series had well defined character motivations and wasn't completely shit. I agree that 1.0 and 2.0 were a far cry from the original series, but 3.0 was even further from that with its nonsense.

Yeah I know. I definitely had my fair share of issues with the ending. I had to roll my eyes at how obviously they set up that bit where Shinji ruins everything - again.

I first watched Eva in a 2 day marathon, because I was instantly addicted to it.

Well, to be fair Eva and EoE are worth watching just so you'll know what the fuck everyone else is talking about. There is no point to watching 3.0 though.
>>
>>89246210

TV end made me cry. It brought all of Shinji's development and the show's main themes to this high emotional catharsis.

Then I watched EOE an hour afterwards and it killed that high really bad. I know it's a great movie, but I'll always have a grudge on it because of that. Stupid EOE.

>EoE didn't have a message
It did and it's quite a simple one too. While interacting with people may bring you pain and betrayal (rejecting Instrumentality), it's worth doing because even feeling negative emotions is better than feeling nothing at all and escaping into yourself (Tang).

This mindset describes perfectly the thought process of someone who got over depression. I don't see why it's so confusing.

My personal favourite has to be the one with the thing that appears as a ball that doesn't really exist. Kinda naval-gazey at certain points but when isn't eva naval-gazey? Plus it rocked watching Unit 01 go berserk and rip the thing apart from the inside out.

Overall I've gotta say that I'm liking the rebuild movies a hell of a lot as well, the plot changed but it's still Eva through and through. Plus the things they've managed to do now they've got a budget make my dick tremble just thinking about them.

Brings back memories. I remember getting the first 2 OSTs and loving them, but said fuck it to the rest cause they were like 12 different versions of Fly Me to the Moon.

Later on bought the Evangelion S2 Works soundtrack everanime bootlegs ;_;

Fucking good stuff though.
>>
>>89246760

I'm not him, but I didn't think EOE was confusing. I felt it's message was expressed worse. I already got all that stuff fine with 25+26, and EOE had so much gory action scenes and lots of people dying violently and then some dumb RL scenes, I felt it just got lost. It also just felt way more depressing and pessimistic than TV end by a thousand miles.
>>
>>89246650
Fuck yeah the spiking brass and jazzy tempos were dope as hell

it felt like a Schifrin score at points, and that's a major plus in my book

Oh jesus that angel was incredible, great episode. And it fucked Asuka up crazy.

Episode 16 I really enjoyed it for some reason.
>>
>>89246848
It's like Kaworufags, he's a oneshot character who has no relation to the rest of the cast, 10 minutes of screentime and all his fans are shippers
Baffling they exist
>>
>>89246948
>It also just felt way more depressing and pessimistic than TV end by a thousand miles.
I think it was meant to be. What also contributed to it is Anno taking the piss out of the entire NGE fanbase in that movie. It felt like he just went "You didn't like the TV Ending? Well fuck you, pathetic nerds".
inb4 >Anno was projecting

I agree that a lot of the gore and imagery in EoE is plain confusing and I won't try to defend it beyond saying that it's just cool imagery. I still think that stuff like the entire Asuka death scene was one of the most iconic and memorable scenes I've seen in general.
>>
>>89247018
Yeah. There's a really good feeling you get when you first watch Eva and watch Asuka get frustrated because her own attitude and personality are her worst enemies and she refuses to acknowledge that she's the problem.

Then you kinda get a slap in the face for it. It didn't make me like her or the character but I didn't dislike her after that, she just seemed like someone too full of hollow bravado, pretending they don't have problems. I guess pity would be what I felt. Which is ironic because that's the last thing she would want people to feel about her.

But at least kaworu had an impact both on shinji and the plot, I'm not a kaworu fag but I liked him in NGE and can understand where his fans are coming from. Mari hasn't done anything of worth.
>>
>>89247178
Kaworu at least has some impact on the story, he's there to me the final yank to Shinji's chain that really sends him over the edge. The first person he's ever met who showed him real unconditional love, and he didn't even know him, and he dies by his own hands. Kaworu is a small character and I don't get the massive shipping that goes on, but then again I don't get shipping in general, but he plays a significant story role.

I actually found it adorable and hilarious. It is almost the exact opposite of pretentious, since the director himself doesn't pretend that the "lore" of Eva and the vaguely scientific sounding buzzwords used by NERV staff are to be taken too seriously.

Everything after Tang, when Shinji is talking to Rei and Kowaru in his head, is basically a repeat of 25 and 26. Those two and all those clapping guys in Congratulations represent Shinji's desire to want to understand others, despite all the pain involved.

I can't be the only one who thinks Evangelion and EoE re together the GOAT, second to no other one.

I mean, hell.
It has been not only the most influential one; but it's still one of the most wtched TODAY.
It's hard to take somebody's opinion on any nime if they had not watched Evangelion.
It's one of the few animes already aired that /a/ continously talks about; /a/ usually doesn't even talk about the previous season.
And although I'm sure they exist; but I've never met anyone who genuinely dislikes Evangelion, less to hate it, and even less to actively say it was a bad anime.

As expected from the master, Mr. Anno.

Any episode with The Beast II was glorious. The timing of that track was amazing. It would always play when shit was fucked up beyond all human repair, and really contrasted the idea of scientific progress with some ancient overriding power.

Incidentally, The Beast II doesn't make an appearance in the latest rebuild, but I can't think o f any scene where it would be fitting, so that's alright.

>>89251601
Try to be more philosophical about it, NGE is complete, nothing out of it can truly ruin it, Rebuild is shit but it can be ignored once it's over
>>
>>89250485

He wasn't the scriptwriter for that episode, though.
>>
>>89251515

HBO is too cheap to do intense sci-fi action. Only a movie budget would work, and movie format would totally kill the story and character development - ie. Rebuild.

And really, an Eva movie without the intense psychological aspects and character study is not Eva at all, and that's what I'm most worried about. It'll basically be just action movies with some over-the-top plot developments...just like Rebuild.
>>
>>89244611
It also made it's way into being referenced by half of all anime ever made after it
>>
>>89251682
It's bigger than yourself now.

The thought of there being an entire new generation of evafags thinking LOLASUKA IS COOL AND REI IS POKA CUTE AND A DOLL, and nothing more really annoys me.

>>89251639

It would be nice to see a show really take some risks beyond the usual "hey this character dies" plot twist stuff
>>
>>89251692
>And really, an Eva movie without the intense psychological aspects and character study is not Eva at all
This. A show like eva wouldn't exist without the TV format
>>
>>89251420
oh yeah, it was crap all right.
one movie being bad is OK, but 3.0 is so bad you're worried that the entire thing will suffer because of it.
>>
>>89251743
that's not really "influence"
that's like saying borderlands 2 is impacted by everything it references
>>
One of my favorites has to be that one recap episode that suddenly turns into Rei's monologue halfway through, that one that sounds like she's answering questions

Which episode was it? 10?

>>89251601
If only 3.0 was the problem with rebuild...
>>
>>89249017

Rebuild is going to be open end for more franchise route.
>>
There's many good episodes, but mine is usually based around Rei, so ep 23, 6 are favourites. Others are 19 and 21 for dat beast and dat NERV backstory.

It's an honest bias.

I think there's so many good episodes in EVA though, that it's easier to mention the shit ones.
>>
>>89251936
or will have a distinct ending and they'll just start over again
like they did with rebuild
>>
>>89251789
>LOLASUKA IS COOL AND REI IS POKA CUTE AND A DOLL

Well I hate Rebuild and rebuildfags, but most Eva fans said those things before anyways. How do you think it took over otaku culture?
>>

Yeah, that's annoying but they can be mostly ignored by avoiding waifu and shipper threads. Second, people like that are fickle eventually they'll move on to something else.

This is hard. I love some moments of episodes: Rei's death, Asuka's mindtrip, the looming appearance of Eva 03 in the horizon, watermelon garden chat, but my favorite is episode 24 because it's a complete package. Other episodes have moments I like, I like the whole episode 24.

>>
>>89251968

Shinji can't have happiness if it's starting over again. The entire point of Eva is Shinji never NEVER getting happiness but still walking on.
>>
>>89251976
Most eva fans? No. Some EVA fans? Yeah. Guess what kind.

>>89251985
They can't be avoided, since they'll be all that's left.

They didn't say those things, only the shittest eva fans of the shittest eva fans at most did, and now there'll be nothing but those left.

>>89251968
>>89252168
"Eva is a story of repetition. It is a story where our protagonist faces the same situation many times over and determinedly picks himself back up again. It is a story of the will to move forward, even if only a little. It is a story of the resolve to want to be with people, even though it is frightening to have contact with others and endure ambiguous loneliness."

Happy Shinji would be no more Eva.

What's the point of making a live action evangelion really. Either it'll be a redo of the series which is pointless, or it'll be a "new thing" which rebuild is already doing. Either way, it'll be too insubstantial to really do anything interesting or unique instead of just special effect whoring

In that case move on with your life, catch eva from time to time, and find comfort knowing that there are other anon like you who like eva for what it is and what it was. My point still stands, don't let others ruin your own joy, that's giving too much power to people that don't deserve it.

Except that Anno and co already announced that the point is Rebuild is more Eva.
>>
>>89251855
Yeah, I love that episode for Rei too, since it really goes the mile to establish Rei's weird inner world, and as someone deeply exploring life and the world.

It's one of my faves too, but the recap kind of kills a lot of it, not that the recap wasn't handled well though.

3.0 is definitely where it goes bad though. Up until 2.0 you had the thought of a "new direction" thoroughly planted, but 3.0 doesn't deliver and dooms 4.0.
>>
>>89252415

I was livid Mari was shoehorned to that scene. Fuck it.

Except the movie isn't confusing, it's shoddily written and boring. People don't hate it because they're confused but because it's just bad. Hardly comparable to 25-26 or EoE.

B) That's not the point. Even the illusion of depth can provoke feeling.

>eva thread where the only hate is being directed towards the rebuilds
is this a dream?
>>
>>89252579
This.

It's just a crap version of what we've seen already.

It can be described as "the fantasy and redo of some of the original directors with new input".

The result is just outright bad.

I agree man
>that timeskip erasing everything from the 2nd movie
>that bad pacing
>that lack of character development
>these boring characters
>that forced drama
Anno you hack
>>
>>89252695
As for A), I have to side with the other guy. It is shoddily written and boring.

Unless you're dumb, there's no way you won't be knowing everything that'll happen over the course of the movie if you watched the original.

The only surprising factor is how bad it is.

As for B), only idiots fall for the illusion of depth, and for what depth there is only an idiot wouldn't be offended that it's presenting.

>Even the illusion of depth can provoke feeling.
I have never heard such a ridiculous argument.
>>
>>89252747
This is how it should always be. Fuck 3.0.
>>
>>89252836
The worst part is that I think Anno is actually serious with this one. He isn't being retarded on purpose. He's pursuing his dream of EVA or something while giving the middle finger to Rei.

Unless 4.0 takes a massive dump on 3.0 and everyone who actually liked it, it's settled.

you guys really think it was that bad? I liked how it sort of drops you out of nowhere, it's meant to be a disturbing shift from what's familiar into something strange and unexplained. I liked that it was the least rehashed of the rebuilds so far by far, I liked the atmosphere, and I actually liked Rei's character, there's something terribly sad about seeing her so far gone from what she was.

>>89252930
Who the fuck drew that, that person should be shot.
>>
>>89252943
see: EoE
>better add all this christian and freudian symbolism, i'm not sure what it means myself, but it will probably sell
>>
>>89252687
I absolutely loved Asuka's new military drum theme. Both during the space bit and her attack on Shinji in Terminal Dogma.

Anon, surely you're not serious

>>89252916

Anno is the George Lucas of anime.
>>
>>89252930
>53
Well, if you're a fujoshi with particularly bad taste I guess that statement might be true.
>>
>>89252695
Taste is certainly subjective, but there's a certain bar of competency that has to be cleared. Saying that there's no difference between Shakespeare and fan-fiction other than as a matter of personal opinion is simply wrong. And same thing applies here, 3.0 wasn't even competent.
>>
>>89252992
Except the Christian symbolsim was always there you retarded troll

Thank god the thread is almost over
>>
>>89253051
so the last time he did something good was the first 3 episodes of NGE?
>>
>>89252992
EoE and substance to it. 3.0 did not.

>only idiots fall for the illusion of depth, and for what depth there is only an idiot wouldn't be offended that it's presenting.
How deep do you think the series was? How many messages did you think it carried? How much did they resonate with you? Do you remember the moment in OP's pic or one of Shinji's many musings more?

Only an idiot could be so dismissive.

>>89252852
That's what EVA is.
>>
>>89252992
lol eva in a nutshell
>>
>>89253090
and it never meant anything
anno couldn't decide if he wanted to go for jewish or christian symbolism, and decided to mix both
>>
>>89253035
that's not even an argument. I'd say it was easily better than 1.11 as there was almost nothing new there except terrible cgi (last fight was good but that's it) 2.22 in a way was better but the overly simplistic relationship building and the amount of forced rehashing, introduction of mari, the terribly pointless angel that asuka fights to introduce her, the horrible rehash where they use asuka instead of toji... I could go on.
>>
>>89253069
>3.0 wasn't even competent.
It was out of left field certainly, but it was also certainly competent.

Nice contradiction, hypocrite.

Except it was a rehash but with a new coat of paint. You don't jump 14 years into the future and barely explain anything.

>and I actually liked Rei's character
>implying Rei was in the movie
