go outside

That if you're a pussy the world becomes fanta.

Love yourself, and Shinji will love you too.

Be the best you can be, even when the entire universe seems to conspire against you.

Go outside, Don't kill yourself. Replace sadness with anger, Then exact that anger into inspiration.
Fuckhead.

Suffering is part of the human condition. Love yourself and find happiness regardless

daddy issues are a real thing. The only way to fix it is Linkin Park on repeat

user, He was listening to New Order.

It's okay to run away.

>Interviewer: It might be that they can’t see an ending like that as anything other than running away. It might be that, even though he’d been saying that he mustn’t run away, they can’t help but think of him as having run for it.
>Anno: I wonder why people are saying that, “You can’t run away!” is a theme.
>Interviewer: What?! …Well, if you put it like that. *laughs* Well, then Shinji-kun isn’t always limited to being right, is he?
>Anno: That’s true. Why does everyone assume that what the protagonist says and does is right, I wonder?
>Interviewer: Huh. The protagonist did say, “It would have been okay to run away.”
>Anno: Yeah. That’s the theme. It’s okay to run away.

Gendo's parenting is impeccable.

Life is worth living, even though is a sick joke.

LIFE SUCKS
DROP OUT

Get in the fucking robot!

Everyone knows he was listening to GYBE

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.

>it's ok to be a pansy
No wonder neets love this show.

What was he actually listening to though?

Some game soundtrack Misato's seiyuu sung for

Interacting with people can be painful, but there's no guarantee that it will be. Happiness is something you can achieve. You need to love yourself and not hide from the world.

Have some kleenexs ready when you're going to fap

Depression hurts. Cymbalta can help.

Fap to comatose 14 year olds.

No, you can't make me do that, what else should I take away?

Shinji is cute!

Kaworu pls

nothing else

You hurt people that try to get close to you, but you shouldn't try to distance from them, instead accept them for what they are and maybe then you'll find some joy.

Even piloting giant bio-robots won't heal your crippling depression and anxiety

im pretty sure it would work in reality

also, how comes biorobots run on electricity?

People suck and it hurts to be around them but the alternative is worse.

Everyone could probably use a good hug.

Sometimes people hurt eachother, Sometimes they don't. And when they don't it's nice.

Shinji is gay

The power is used to supress the eva unit and keep it asleep so it doesn't zerk.

why dont they berzerk when the battery runs out?

Don't be a bitch.

Don't talk about it on Sup Forums.

All toasters toast toast.

They do. The unit wakes up again if it gets hurt while unplugged.

>What lesson should I take away from Evangelion?
That wrapping your degenerate harem anime in pseudoscience doesn't make it any deeper.

Evangelion is less a matter of lessons and more like observations on the human conditions.

1) interacting with people leads to pain
2) it can also be rewarding, despite that
3) it's up to you to weigh the rewards of "joining society" (interacting with others) and the pain that it brings

>it's up to you to weigh the rewards of "joining society" (interacting with others) and the pain that it brings
did that part ever actually come up in the show?

Even a 14 old boy can fight his fears and fellings.
You can do it too.

>raise your son or daughter don't abandon them

>tsunderes are shit people especally redheaded ones

>love yourself

>misato is the best girl

Well, specifically thinking of End of Eva. That's what Shinji decides - each person should weigh the pain against the rewards and decide for themselves.

Solipsism isn't as great as it seemed when you were a teenager. Reach out.

don't watch terrible shows

Here

>misato is the best girl
should be
>Christmas cakes are actually godtier

It's not gay if it's a qt angel.

That you will always be able to get free replies by posting an Evangelion thread on Sup Forums, even though Eva is not (and was never) good.

Evangelion is objectively good.

That there isn't a universe where Shinji and Rei work out together as a relationship and its fucking stupid.

Well he's not wrong. Evangelion is only good for the first like 3/4 of the show.

>evafags

I actually know an emotionally-depended fuckdoll. She isn't creepy, but she is quite boring and pathetic

When they tell you to get in the fucking robot, you get in the fucking robot.

>Anno hates you
Stopped reading there, Anno loves me

Raised a messiah and a goddess, I think he did ok.

That escapism is BAD... unless you're the author of a major anime franchise and want to jerk off to a 14yo gay angel that loves you unconditionally just because that's why he exists.

Don't be a gay emo kid.

I do believe it's this.

Remakes are bad.

no, toast bread

>0:12
this is beat it?!

The lesson is: not everything has a deeper meaning.

girls aren't worth shit

find a nice cute boy to love you

If you're depressed it's your own fault

Anno is a fucking hack and NGE was his pathetic attempt at being """deep"""

But didn't he begrudgingly choose to face reality, and a post-impact world, in EoE?

All I'm really getting out of this is that Anno is a huge cunt that couldn't pull his head out of his ass.

Singularity is escapism. And that is not a solution.
Anno purports otaku escapism ruined anime, yet with Evangelion the message is be yourself and accept those for who they are. So why doesnt he accept otakus for being autists that they are?

I saw the message as being more about technology and humanity than about otaku. NERV had selfish, ego-driven goals and was realistically corrupt. They are all ready to use and emotionally cripple the younger generation (usually their own chidren) in order to meet selfish goals.
What salvages humanity in the end isn't an outside intervention, it isn't Chekov's magic gun that had been waiting in the bottom drawer for Shinji to pick it up. It's the decision that everyone who has the will to live should be able to live their own life.

"watch better anime"

When the fuck is 4.0 coming out?

Also Auska is the best girl.

Mental illness is not fun

The lesson I take away from it is don't let your anxietees stop you from talking to people you are afraid of. In the end, it will only hurt you.

Go and talk to your cute roommate who has the same issues as you, go talk to the father you have issues with. Do it.

Don't masturbate to comatose girls. Also Misato is best girl.

I just read that entire thing: But I got all that when I watched it?

Did people seriously NOT get that was the intended message?

Learn to recognize when 14 year old german girls want your dick or you'll cause the apocalypse

Kaji knew Asuka wanted his dick, he just didn't want to go to jail

Isn't 14 the age of consent in Japan?

Reminder that Shinji is straight

OP is a faggot

Asuka is a transvestite

You are a transvestite

No.

Why the fuck is Asuka so ugly? Holy shit.

Why do you infer he's saying the alternative is WRONG?

>meme arrows

>he put mari in to destroy eva

well good job, you got yourself caught

>have depression/serious anxiety before watching eva
>watch eva
>my depression and anxiety gets even worse
t-t-thanks anno

Have you ever looked back at a conversation, only to realize you've used the same words as one of the characters, in the same situation?
That's probably my top reason to strap Anno to a folding chair.
Then I'd tape his eyes open and force him to watch something I know he'll hate, like all three Godfathers dubbed in Spanish, or a marathon of all isekai ever made.

> Have you ever looked back at a conversation, only to realize you've used the same words as one of the characters, in the same situation?
The real horror is realising you've used the same words in the same situation as one of the characters before you've even watched Eva.

Same. Let's trash Anno's office together.

That anime is only for enjoyment not for a idiotic overanalization

Evangelion is about what happens when beta children are born to alpha parents.

Imperial Japan was Anno's alpha parent, modern Japan was the beta child...

thats a big cat

You need to live even when you think that everything is lost.
