Extracurricular Lesson with Hideaki Anno

The children in this look like 10 year olds. Is Evangelion really a kids' show? I mean it has sex in it and EoE is graphic.

It's a kids show for kids who are fucked up. Not one of those kids shows for normal kids.

The kids in the video were normal Japanese schoolchildren though

Anime is for kids.

Even hentai?

The kids don't give a shit about Eva they just needed people who Anno wouldn't be a total autist around. Compare the classroom scenes to the scenes where he has to interact with adults.

>closeted as fuck
>wont go away

a true autist.

Yes it's a kids show.

No, Evangelion isn't deep.

Yes, Anno admitted all this and thinks people who draw meaning where there isn't are losers who are only doing so in an attempt to justify watching Japanese cartoons because they're insecure with their hobby.

Yes, it is a kids show.
Eva even has a ride at Disney World and universal. It also has collabs with fucking Hello Kitty and baby clothes.

Stuff like sex isn't considered mature for Japanese youth, even stuff like To Love Ru is in young boy magazines.

Retard. He chose that version of the word because of the reason. He would choose the same either way but in a different form.

Hello Kitty is serious fucking business though.

Nice headcanon.

Unfortunately, you are way behind on the evatard meta for argument. Nowadays evatards claim that Anno doesn't get to decide the meaning behind evangelion, only they do. They argue 'the death of the author', that Anno is a retard and that they know better than him.

Only Hello Kitty: Island Adventure

Isn't it true that he only included christian imagery and symbolism because he thought it looked cool and different. He had no intention of making a deep introspective show.

But he did. Even accidentally, he fucking did. This 'Evangelion doesn't have any meaning' meme has to end. Art is created because meaning is created as it is perceived by the viewer, so shut the fuck up dumbcunts.

t. loser who spent his entire life trying to understand eva only to find out it was a simple kids' show and now displays aggressive cognitive dissonance

>Calling a genius who could start to try to understand eva as soon as he got out of the womb a "loser"
No u!

Evafags are literally children

No, it's made for otaku

art can also be created by accident. That's what happens a lot actually

i wish then i would not be here

It's a cartoon, idiot. Of course it's a kids' show.

WHAAAT? Aoi Hono is about Anno's university days?

*drops everything and watches aoi hono*

are you allowed to create fiction that includes sex in it if you havent had it yourself?

Only you dumbass murrikans think 10 years olds can't deal with the notion of sex.

In some neighborhoods a lot of ten year olds have had sex

Any of this? Most boys don't hit puberty until 12-13.

Any proof*

Child molestation

It's not consensual, it shouldn't count.

>He chose that version of the word because of the reason
The title just translates as "The Good News of the New Beginning."

The late-night timeslot didn't exist back then and Eva aired right after TMNT. Nevertheless Eva got in problems for episode 18 and in general for being too gruesome for daytime. Shounenshit at the time had decapitation and bloodshed but Eva's depiction of violence felt too raw and the connection between Shinji and the viewer was too obvious. Besides, the children on the video don't seem to be that much into Eva, except for a girl that likes Asuka and an Rei fanboy.

The premise of that Japanese show was to bring famous people to their schools and make them interact with the kids.

Evangelion is the only non-pornographic material I've seen show cum on-screen. I don't understand where any of these posters are coming from criticizing Americans views on sex in media, a teenage boy masturbating over a sleeping girl should be disturbing to anyone on first viewing. No, it's not suitable for children.

>a sleeping girl
You mean comatose.

but user don't you know NGE is a kids show and overrated xD

tomato, tomahto, potato, comatose

The movie was adult rated, but the TV show wasn't and was perfectly suitable for children.

for you

No, you're conflating religious imagery with introspection. Evangelion is absolutely introspective, and, at the same time, the vast majority of its religious imagery is window dressing.

>implying
It's a show for normal teenagers. It is most definitely not specifically for "fucked up" people.

>It's a show for normal teenagers.
A normal teenager wouldn't give a fuck about the psychology aspect of NGE and wouldn't try to understand the lore.

Im not exactly sure, but i dont think anno was there to talk about Eva to the kids, just about the anime industry.
Eva was a hot topic back then, so he told some words about it, but i doubt many kids watched the show.

But as far as i know, Anno did want NGE to air on a Shounen timeslot, instead of a Seinen. And it actually did for half its run. Then it got changed agaisnt his will.

What a cuck
