PLEASE someone explain to me why this is so fucking good. I even watched Love Hina (forgot to mention) and it was more tolerable and the boy was still a whiney little faggot.

Okay you fucking faggot and casual here's the thing: Neon Genesis is the greatest anime ever made. Now that you have disagreed with this fact and I am going to track you down but I'm not going to kill you, not just yet. No, that would be too easy. First I am going to monitor you for a while to see what kind of person you are etc. Then I am going to initiate events in your life so that it will become impossible for you to not get a GF who you will marry and have children with. I will allow you a few years so that you may properly fall in love and so your children may grow to an age of 6 or 7 so they can comprehend what will happen but will still be irreversibly damaged from it. Then one day, while you are at home with your beautiful wife and children I will knock. You or your wife will answer. I will immediately chainsaw whichever one of you has answered in half and rip the other one's throat and eyes out with my bare hands. I will then tie your children to a chair and begin slapping them with your and your wifes body parts saying "Daddy said Evangelion was no good and this is what happened. I'm not going to be around long enough to repeat this to you fuckers if you do the same but there are fuckers crazier then me out there who will do waaaay worse if you say you hate Evangelion" I will then force them to watch Evangelion, EoE and Rebuild all on Rebuild for a month whill repeatedly abusing them with your decaying body parts.

Good job dad. You've fucked up now.

I beg to differ. Evangelion is among the best I've ever seen and will likely see.

I never gave a fuck for mecha, by the way, but I love Evangelion.

Watch The End of Evangelion for the real ending. Your mind will be fucking blown to pieces.

what?! almost none of that was explained in the 1-26 episodes is that shit in the after-the-fact releases?? THATS BECAUSE THE STORY WAS A FUCKING MESS!

WHY even bother lying about Lilith being Adam when contact with the angels would yeild the same result. And how the fuck is that last angel kid boh the Adam fetus AND that thing Gendo aquired. SEELE made an angel?? fucking how??

This show didn't make me consider my existence because I dont need an anime for that it didn't teach me anything new in that regard I just wanted an awesome story

I love Drive, it's definitely one of the best movies since 2000.

Evangelion is the best anime I have ever seen.

It's a matter of taste, but for people like me, it's the best.
>>
>>34736179 (OP)
>what the fuck this is nowhere near Bebop-tier anime was this supposed to be deep?

Neither of them are, they are cartoons, in Japan as in the rest of the world cartoons are made to be enjoyed, understood and watched primarily by children, and as such tend to be quite shallow.

Many anime fans will disagree with that fact, but they're man children and no one cares what they think least of all me. Cartoons are made for consumption by children in mind, this is a fact, you can get red in the face all you want.

>Should I really bother watching the other ending movies??
No, you will never get a job or get laid because you watched Evangelion, if you're not enjoying the series thus far proceeding would be pointless and the land whales that waddle over to you saying how super deep and introspective Evangelion is can be ignored because their opinions don't matter.

>This shit wasn't that great even for 1995. And goddam those last 2 episodes no wonder people were pissed

Agreed.

When people try to be artsy with something intended for children people tend to either like it or hate it,

I for example thought it was an idiotic and shallow waste of time, many people here thoroughly suck its cock and pray they get a facial.

The show gives people a more (can't believe i'm going to say this) realistic point of view with children piloting giant robots and protecting townspeople. No child could stay sane and keep the Evangelion universe safe; it's just bound to fall apart.

Don't forget that two of the kids are fucking angels. The Eva universe is messed up.
>>
>>34736875
your arguments can be shortened to
>cartoons are for children

which is stupid. Go watch old simpsons, as the biggest example on earth.
Animation is just one way to tell a story. Just because shit for kids is mostly cartoons and "adult" shit is almost never in cartoon form, doesn't mean the style defines the content.

You're either dumb as fuck and uneducated, or 17

OP HERE AGAIN

I didn't take this to /a/ because Im an anime casual and there's no way they'll take me seriously

I went into NGE with high hopes like I've been saving it for something y'know? But I was underwhelmed as all fuck at this. I don't expect Japanese writers to explain everything but goddamn whatever they didn't want to explain they filled it with existential garbage and crying. Some of the intrigue I liked tho, like that one bitch who was fucking Gendo after her mother did like "aww naww" and based Gendo not giving any fucks. And the Kaji guy was bretty cool

So the general opinion is I should watch EoE because episodes 1-26 don't do shit on their own

>>34737129
EoE explains what is happening physically during Episode 25 and 26. NGE explains what is happening mentally during EoE. Then he wakes up at the end of EoE and is beyond insane.

There really isn't anything interesting about chemical depression. It's like the opposite of art. And I'm speaking as someone who's been on 60mg duloxetine for over a decade and prozac before it.

If I thought other people needed to understand my disorders I'd become a tranny game developer.

>>34738661
So nothing concerning depression and breakdown should ever be created because it won't be better than one of the greatest literary works ever written?

Plus I think he meant in terms of anime, litfag.

anime is not a good vehicle to convey depression in a story because hand animating 3 frames a second doesnt do much to animate gesture cues or facial nuances commonly typical in depressed people. Mangas make more sense because you're relying more on story than delivering the visual medium


if anime is the only source for you to connect with depression then you don't know what depression is

More questions than answers, some characters acting stupid, but it was still enjoyable.
Not the war crime i thought it was.

Is NGE really all its cracked up to be or is it just good if you are really into chinese cartoons?

Is this the kind of show that people should watch before they die or is it just good by "anime standards"

Yeah, it's actually really amazing. I hate almost all anime because I think it's boring, badly paced, confusing, and full of shitty characters, but this show is none of those things.

You should at least watch a few episodes and see if you get hooked by the action or characters, and if not then maybe anime just isn't your thing.

First 6 episodes were great. Then it becomes shit until ep 24. Serioulsy, this show could have been better if it only had 12 episodes.

I made the major mistake of marathoning this show and EoE over 3 days

>mfw
>>
>>34740014
It's nothing more than a descent entry level show, don't get fooled by these "2deep4u" people. Any casual Chinese cartoon fan should check it out though.
>>
>>34740590
That's exactly what I'm planning to do, why was it a mistake anon?
>>
>>34740537
I thought that the first 22 or so were great, then it undergoes the usual anime pitfall of "2deep4u" shit, and then End of Evangelion is pretty good.

I loved every single angel battle, though, they really kept me into the show.
