>"As for the previous Evangelion, many people took what I made as 'entertainment' and turned it into a 'target of dependence.' I wanted to take responsibility for those people becoming impudent. I wanted to bring the work back to the level of entertainment. However, I’ve started to pull back from that subject (criticizing 'escapist otaku.') Those kind of people don’t understand, no matter what you say. I finally realized there’s nothing you can do."

Escapism is what led to the rise of isekai.

Brody Lewis
Nice trips
Luke Reyes
2ch is right though. He's a complete hypocrite.
Evan Collins
I don't want Anno to give up. He doesn't realize with all the escapist otaku cumming on their Rei dakimarukas, but for many Eva means something really important. All that honest emotion poured into Eva really reached into many of its fans. I'm sad seeing Anno going back to his depression, especially when 2.0 was full of hope.
Jonathan Bell
Is Anno going through his mid-life crisis, then?
Lincoln Sanchez
Is he our guy?
Josiah Gonzalez
This guy is such a fucking idiot and a massive hypocrite.
Except all of those quotes are absolutely right, you Anno apologist. They're telling him to hurry up and finish his entertainment work, but he's just running away from responsibility.
Nathaniel Smith
Just to be clear. This is from a 2012 interview that 2ch unearthed recently. The responses are recent, though.
Adrian Young
Sometimes I think about getting a life and starting a family just so I can enjoy watching Anno's works with my kids. Is that weird?
Caleb Carter
So much irony in one single post.
Bentley Powell
>wanting your children to become waifufaggots
let the curse die with you
Lincoln Davis
Those kind of people don’t understand, no matter what you say. I finally realized there’s nothing you can do.
Brayden Reyes
Uh oh, he's going full Miyazaki. When he's 70 he'll be calling for otaku genocide.
Isaiah Torres
But otaku are trash? Get some fucking self-awareness (justified if you're under 20 though).
Owen Ward
I don't think you've read his interviews from the 90s where he trashes anime and western animation.
Also: "He ABANDONED Eva so he could make...other things!" Stupid, stupid logic.
Lincoln Jackson
The rise of Sup Forums and fake weeaboos made me feel things similar to Anno.
Sebastian Clark
>makes otaku pandering trash >hates otakus
kill yourself anno
Austin Perez
Fuck man, that was kind of too real. But I cant help but feel joy imagining my son being a Reifag and watching Evangelion with him. I think I like anime too much to ever have this be a reality anyway. Thanks Anno.
Jacob Clark
How are otakus supposed to get a job and take responsibility in Post Bubble Burst Japan?
Jack Nguyen
what if youre a reifag and your child becomes an asukafag, or worse plays outside
Brody Price
This guy is dumb and full of himself. It's precisely because shit is entertaining that people get addicted to it. ANYTHING that is entertaining can become addictive, and even non-entertaining stuff can become an obsession. He's literally saying "oh people are addicted to my stuff so I'm making more of it to get them off their addiction."
Giving more smokes to a smoker will not help him quit.
Easton Gutierrez
But Anno lacks self-awareness and understanding. People is always look for a temporary escape from reality in times of economic hardship and dark roads. Taking responsibility only works if one has the resources to do it, and the economy is doing well.
Isaiah Butler
the need to elect someone to make japan great again
seriously, theres some faggots there who think they can fix japan problems by importing africans and arabs
thats worse than being nuked
Caleb Kelly
Then he is no son of mine
Ayden Green
To add onto that, what about the rebellious years and he declares that he loves her more than you? Or the possibility of your kids buying you a body pillow because they don't know any better, and your wife finds out?
Asher Bell
No, it isn't. As a father you will always want to share your interests and views with your children, it's just natural.
People like you are getting more common by the day. The 80's and 90's was the time anime really got popular, and the people who watched and happen to really like the medium at that time are now having kids. Since they like anime they will obviously share It with their children, they want their children to experience things just like they did.
Adrian Torres
That is absolutely not what he's saying. There's a huge difference between being entertained by something and seeking it out and being actually mentally ill.
Benjamin Jackson
Most of Anno's work is best appreciated alone and depressed
James Lewis
Literally nothing new about this.
>Anno hates escapists >Anno hates himself All of this is abundantly obvious from EoE alone, and that was years ago.
Hudson Bailey
>Rei Typical Asukafaggot who can't even spend a few minutes looking at the sad panda to know that there is an overwhelming bias in favor of Asuka.
Jeremiah Russell
How does one even escape escapism?
Tyler Ward
Neither do Miyazaki and Anno, who can't get it thru their skulls that the young people of Japan don't have the resources to take responsibility for their actions, and that it was Miyazaki's generation that caused the whole otaku problem by refusing to take responsibility.
Ayden Edwards
>the people who watched and happen to really like the medium at that time are now having kids.
True. I see kids online all the time talking about how their mom or dad got them into anime.
Daniel Jenkins
This is top tier satire.
Blake Nelson

Caleb Richardson
Go outside
Christian Diaz
By running away from escapism. But also running away from your other problems.
Aiden Stewart
Fuck youre right. I guess I just hand him the BDs when he hits 14-15 and is full of angst and self loathing like I was and say "watch this alone".
Landon Rodriguez
Ironic. He could save others from escapism...but not himself.
Jose Edwards
That's probably the best idea not that you'll ever have kids anyways
Robert James
And do you think fucking cartoons can help people who are "mentally-ill"? If people have problems, then they must be shown to someone who specializes in that field.
Oliver Taylor
How is being an Italian bad? Or do you mean NEETs?
Adam Long
Well, he is masterpiece Evangelion is technically dependent on people for escapism. Without it, NGE wouldn't be able to turn profit, and Anno would be penniless.
Jose Sanders
That's irrelevant. Any good work will always have obsessed fans and that's no exclusive to anime or EVA. He should be happy that so many people love his work on a personal level rather than being negative about it.
Xavier Rogers
He's trying to become Miyazaki way too hard.
Brayden Stewart
Except that Miyazaki isn't that vapid of a person. Don't tell me you believe the meme about "anime was a mistake".
Jace Long
It's funny because many NGE themes work actively against escapism
Jace Johnson
Miyazaki is absolutely bitter about anime, Japanese society and the world in general. He's even worse than Anno.
Cameron Thompson
Miyazaki's well known for his disdain for obsessive otakus and escapists. Something about "anime should be about real people and I don't like anime for people who don't like looking at others". He's seen as jaded and bitter, pretty much fitting Anno's sentiments.
Daniel Roberts
It may be a meme but there's actual substance behind it, Miyazaki is a very bitter and resentful man and probably would agree with the statement.
Austin Ramirez
Everyone has a disdain for obsessive otaku, though.
Nathaniel King
Even if that's the case not everyone's as outspoken, especially when they are a chunk of your audience and ones that propelled your work to a large degree, though it's more of a remnant of the past at this point.
Jackson Collins
2 were not enough
Cameron Rivera
Both Miyazaki and Anno are disgusting artfag hipsters. All they do is make money off of plebeians and insult their own fans in order to garner credit in their industry.
>hurr I ironically make animation that focuses on sexualizing little girls and throw in random imagery into barebone plots to give the illusion of depth. Aren't otaku just simply disgusting? Look at me, I'm grossly generalizing a group of people, aren't I smart?
Fact is, they will never make truly meaningful works of art like Tezuka or Ishinomori nor will they ever make works that push the boundary of anime like tried and true Dezaki or even one hit wonders like Otomo.
Adam Walker
There's saying about a pot and a kettle that suits pretty well this picture.
Luke Ramirez
>When hanging around Miyazaki for so long. This is what happens to you.
Kayden Rogers
That webm is pretty rad, damn.
Michael Morales
So how will he BTFO otaku for good in Rebuild final?
Lincoln Bailey
He might already be trying to but fuck knows. Seems like Rebuild is just to showcase new industry talents. He doesn't seem to care all that much.
Austin Nelson
it'll never come out
Aiden Phillips
>jap David Chase finally realizes his medium is shit took him long enough
Jose Brown
The truth is likely that Anno would be nothing without the genius of Sadamoto Yoshiyuki, Imaishi Hiroyuki or Mahiro Maeda and others. They are the ones who are really carrying the Gainax boat, or at least were before they went to greener pastures, for all those years but I've never heard of them opening up their clap, probably out of modesty.
Anno just comes off as a huge manchild to me.
Let's not forget Gainax started as a fan project, they were the otaku of their time and became popular precisely because they pandered to that demographic.
William Kelly
>the whole thread of filthy otaku spilling bullshit in the defense of their pathetic lives Boy, what a time to be alive Can't wait for some fujo end in Rebuild to wipe my ass with waifufag feels What a fucking time to be alive
Owen Cruz
>Is that weird?
No. It's a sign that you're becoming someone with a mature mind and putting all the stupid dreams of youth to a test with reality.
Alexander Parker
Boy, I never noticed before that Kensuke is literally Jean
John Roberts
I don't even care about Rebuild end at this point after what they did with 3.0.
At the end of the day though, who is happier Anno or the otaku? He will be forever self-hating.
Jace Johnson
Ur so sool and edgy user, don't cut yourself with all that edge.
Christian Thompson
I really loved Shin Godzilla
Andrew Hernandez
>otaku >happy I don't think you understand what kind of otaku culture he despises
Kevin Long
this
Owen Lewis
>being an otaku himself >realized hot grills don't like otakus >GAIZ STOP ESCAPING INTO ANIME IT'S NOT HEALTHY I SWEAR And on top of that he himself made Rebuild, does he really think anyone should listen to whatever he has to say? It's always the same shit with all those irrelevant pretentious hacks who's living on their popularity but act like they are some unmatched masters of the universe who know everything.
Kevin Rogers
This thread proves him right.
Matthew Roberts
>spilling bullshit You mean most obvious and well known fact that Anno is pretentious hypocrite who project his own failures into others and look down on otakus because simply want to fit into society not as filthy otaku but some kind of serious animation director and genius? >fujo end OH MY! pandering to another cancerous crowd will make me fell better cuz the crowd I don't like will be mad, that will show them!
Henry Parker
in what way?
Ethan Adams
>an old samurai loses the last bit of hope for his people I feel sorry for him, Japan is really a country of children dying in the shadow of its own past glory
Isaac Green
With the concentrated moe of modern anime, eva is starting to look like 80s stuff with unattractive women that only an impossible lonely guy would consider as waifus in comparison. Your kids should be safe.
Just don't let them watch love live
Isaiah Roberts
Except I don't want it to be fucking entertainment. I want it to be something only I and Anno himself can relate to. There's plenty of fucking entertainment in the world. Plenty of one-sided characters with magic swords. I want something only Anno can make. I may agree with him politically (most of shin gojira is on point), but when it comes to his pretend hatred of otaku he's just full of bullshit. He should just finish the movie and get it over with.
Levi Hill
This is good because Anno hating otaku and himself might lead to him making a good Evangelion movie finally.
Ryan Roberts
I'd take him for a DNA test to see if my wife has been cheating on me.
Gabriel Roberts
>past glory >a barbarians tribes who spend most of their history killing each other and being stuck in devolopment >failed to become next global superpower and now forever being colony of burgers So much for the past glory, you need to learn more about actual history and not some shitty pseudo historical crap.
Tyler Richardson
He is right though. Anime is good but basement-dwelling otakus are the most cancerous people you'll ever find on the Internet, both in the West and in Japan.
Alexander Robinson
>concetrated moe Is this like what, 2007 thread?
Isaiah Scott
Not really. If you want to witness the real untermensch, there are a lot of groups that are much worse. Asocial is not the same as antisocial.
Jonathan Moore
>I finally realized there’s nothing you can do. Good. Screw off with the savior complex. Face it, the person you actually want to save is yourself. But there's nothing to be saved from. You're a greasy otaku and you're given to escaping into your fantasies and interests. And that's good. You would have never made such an impact otherwise.
Mr. Anno needs to accept who he is. >old samurai Anno is such a dork, it's almost adorable. He just has shame.
Jace Walker
Basement dwellers are what Sup Forums was made of and especially Sup Forums, and the reason why anime is still a thing, so you are not in the right place, pal.
Benjamin Martin
What would be the best way to finish the eva franchise?
>never making the last movie >make the last movie the way he normally would >make the last movie as stupid and random as episode 25-26 >make the last movie beyond retarded criticism with the main girls becoming idols in the end >live action >last scene of the movie is anno killing himself
Ian Phillips
>“Stop being an escapist yourself and finish Evangelion.”
Owned.
Brayden Bell
I'm aware of that, but I reached that conclusion specifically because I browse this site.
Chase Watson
I don't know who he wants to fool. Rebuild is fucking garbage.
Anthony Stewart
Movie starts.
It's a livestream of Hideaki Anno's house.
He tells the Otaku how much he hates them and he's going to make sure that they never get 4.0
He puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger.
An hour and 37 minutes of his slowly cooling corpse.
Still better than 3.0
Eli Walker
