If your MC looks like this then your anime is probably shit

Focus on the below average height and glasses

Someone post the webm of sharkteeth playing wit his head with her feet. Absolutely the most beta behavior I ever seen.

That sounds easy to masturbate to

...

But if it's EVAngelion that does it it's okay?

Wait, he was the mc of re creators?

Shinji doesn't have glasses.

No, Meteora was.

>below average height
You do know anime is made in Japan, by Japanese people, for Japanese people, right?

>.t speedwatcher

And japanese people aren't shit?

>tfw you drop a perfectly good show because the mc is so shoddily written
why even live?
why can't we have nice things?
why do we get a retarded mc who can't even be called half human as the main character?
it ruins the whole show because the other characters have to play off him yet noone calls him out on his retarded manner of being.
why can't we get competent writers to write the main character?
I mean what emotion is that face even conveying?
was the anime industry taken over by autists who do not even understand how people emote?

remember when introverted characters were actually well written? the last I remember was kyon.

You are right but only in the glasses part, I mean, how would anyone love a genetically inferior being? Why would you do that to your future kids? There's not such a thing as a good character with glasses.

>implaying that it get good

Heres your's (you)

Meganeko are good, though.

he wasn't the MC he was the viewpoint character

>implying I implied something I clearly did not

shinji was characterized by a deep melancholy you autistic faggot.
this character fails to show any discernible human emotion, and when he does emote is looks contrived and out of place as fuck.

if you cannot see the difference in the characters then you might as well kill yourself now.

also shinji would never make such a retarded face as which is supposed to be expressing an emotion, but it is not an emotion a normal human being would make or could read.

if I ran accross an individual making such a face I would steer clear of them.

>shinji was characterized
stopped reading there. Eva is a fun show and all but stop pretending your reddit-spacing ass actually is capable of writing a novel

>being this retarded
>being this autistic
if you could not read the emotional turmoil that was occurring in shinji, then you are the poorer for it you autistic faggot.

Intelligent replies like these are what make discussion on Sup Forums so great!

He was less of a bitch than shinji or that fagget from rezero were and his behavior as a fuckup for four episodes was a massive fucking red herring other than his interaction with magane

but I guess it's too much for your peanut brains, I bet you're also pissed that he didn't get to rail Meteora somehow

Shinji is stupid.

Yep.

well at least he can pass for a human being, expressing real human emotion in a manor that is appropriate for the situation he is in.

being stupid is better than not being human, because at least you could empathize with that.

Soda x Meteora OTP

>expressing real human emotion
As opposed to fake human emotion? Reddit please.

These two and Selesia are the main characters.

You must be the main character if you're the high school student in the story.

as opposed to what ever is.

tell me what emotion is op's pic trying to convey?

you could argue that it is surprised delight, but the eyebrows are arched wrong, and the eyes are open too much as if he is supposed to be in shock, but that does not match at all with his smile for a shocked face usually comes with an open mouth or a downcast one

so what emotion is it? for it looks to me like it is an alien trying to be human.

I like flawed human characters the most.

Don't post this ever again. Return to reddit and never return.

>the eyes are open too much
It's perfectly fine for an aoki face

I'll post if as often as I like, if you want a circlejerk hugbox then you should follow your own advice.

>as opposed to
stopped reading there. Eva is a fun show and all but stop pretending your reddit-spacing ass actually is capable of writing a novel

>aoki face

you seem to not understand: us normal human beings come with built in emotion recognition software, and we use that software to process emotions implicitly.

though trying to explicitly lay out the characteristics our brain reads in order to determine emotion is hard, I will do it anyway because I enjoy being conscious of what my brain is doing.

the reason I think the eyes looked shocked is because we can see the whole iris and that gives off an impression of widening eyes which is affiliated with shock.

earlier anime seem to be able to manipulate the emotional software in order to convey emotions rather well, here is a face that conveys an approving appraisal. it is interesting that a more complex emotion was able to be portrayed, yet nowadays the artists can't even convey: delight? shock? happiness? I do not even understand what emotion they are trying there.

the reason I fucking love this pic is because I love the stoic defiance this character is conveying in it. why can't we have more of that?

here is a face that is expressing both disgust and contempt and it is fucking beautiful.

shinji is a beta harem MC

...

>MC has red hair in the manga
>anime gives him brown hair
Fuck this self-insert bullshit. If I have to "be the MC", then why do I have to be the same type of insecure virgin faggot that I am in real life? Why can't I be someone cool for once?

But Meteora was the MC

>shinji is beta
Exactly

What is this reddit-meme supposed to convey? Other than that I'm glad I haven't seen like most of those anime. Imagine sitting through all that trash just for an image? I've only seen EVA from that list

Shinji type beta characters have no place in harems. I immediately drop it when its like pic related, no matter how hot the girls are.

>if your MC looks like this then your anime is probably shi-

Good man.

>gynephobia + blush
webm guy is a self-insert beta-kun for redditors and malfags

You sound like a giant homosexual, aoki's and hiroe's styles are wildly different. And Souta is not an outwardly emotional person, he only shows his true emotions when he cracks. It acknowledges that fact to the extent that someone in the show calls him a sociopath like them, but you wouldn't know that. Keep sitting on this thread analyzing an aoki face that presents no context. Stop being a giant waste of time.

>if your anime has males at all, your anime is probably shit
fixed, also
/thread

I can't watch any with an all female cast, I need a male MC so all waifus can get dicked. Its why I'll never watch K-On, Love Live or Idolmaster.

>aoki's and hiroe's styles are wildly different
in the end that is irrelevant, what is relevant is if the artstyle can interface with the emotion recognition software of the brain.

if your artstyle can't do that, then you only have yourself to blame

>And Souta is not an outwardly emotional person

I have not seen anything to suggest that he was an inwardly emotional person, his only reaction to any situation is a sharp intake of breath.

look at okabe from stiens gate, he is not an outwardly emotional character and yet we can see through his actions his desperation, his fear, his nihilism that stemmed from his inability to save a person he loved and then his depression which stemmed from the fact that he was reacting to everything in an apathetic way.

rarely did okabe express these emotions, but we could see them bleed through in the fact that he was reluctant to do certain things and that he did not act like his previous self to his fullest extent.

how about this character? when he "breaks", all he does is cry in a pathetic(like a little bitch) way because a girl he barely knew died because of him.

if I did not know better I would say that he is a sociopath that is going trough life pretending to have emotions, but I would not mind if that was the case, it is more like the author does not know how to write introverts and is just shitting shit up for the hell of it.

>That reddit spacing
Start making points instead of shitting up a verbal diarrhea you fucking idiot.

I bet you are the only faggot here who visits reddit.

>Probably shit
>Probably
Watch more anime before posting again

>stemmed from his inability to save a person he loved
Which has nothing to do with what happened to Souta, and will not shape Souta in any way like such. He feels guilt for something he could do little and has done nothing for, he is not larger than life to save Setsuna or fix things in some way. He is not a benevolent or a stoic person but he is burdened by his own envy. He has his own flawed way when he interacts with his past mistakes, even if he fixes his approach a bit after he lets it all out.

He's not a good person, and he doesn't become one because he came clean about what happened. What happened to Setsuna has him influenced to the extent that he has a panic attack when it hits back at him for the first time since then, and the when he decides to take initiative about it he gets someone else killed. Altair keeps coming back at him with something every time he tries to bury his own guilt with his daily routine and the people around him, to the point that the consequences bring him to create an image of Setsuna back to share her feelings with Altair and Souta as she took her final steps. You may not like it, you may not enjoy it, you may not perceive it as deep, inspiring or special but it's consistent for his character. But it sounds like it flew right past you as you focused on his tears as he stands helplessly and asked yourself why this guy is not like Okabe.

this should have been dropped after 3 episodes

I dropped this show when the magical girl died and he was crying like a little bitch. I got tried of his breathing reactions to everything and then his retarded crying to what is essentially a stranger to him. I do not know about you but I know of no male who would react like that to a stranger dying, even if they caused their death.

they would more likely than not feel anger, frustration, guilt, and in order to obviate that they would more likely than scream, smash shit or bottle it up by grinding their teeth in frustration and rage.

it was not like the magical girl was close to him, and he theoretically is inclined to hide his emotions, so for him cry like that is not in character, even if he was already depressed. for people like him, if sad things keep happening over and over. the general response would be akin to shinji's in where they become dead inside.

the reaction of this character is retarded at best.

the reason I brought up okabe is because he is extremely well rounded and he was similar to the mc in that he hid his emotions. and with him you could tell that he was feeling the said emotions.

let me ask you this: was there even 1 time in this anime in which you could tell that the main character was angry?

>the general response would be akin to shinji's in where they become dead inside.
You're very predictable and you're terrible at conveying your thoughts. Souta is neither Shinji, nor Okabe nor he is the MC as people who have actually finished the show will tell you.

Souta didn't care about Mamika, he was being a bitch because he had been kidnapped and blackmailed by a serial killer because he hadn't reveal that he was partially responsible by the unstoppable being that was in the process of destroying the universe due to being a major fuck up a few months before with his only friend that died because of him.

people do not cry from guilt, they sulk. and if you thought about it you would understand why: crying attracts attention, while sulking does not. a person who is feeling guilty does not want attention drawn to them.
characters may be different, but human responses to events are generally similar, if someone close to you died and you are not sociopathic you would be inclined to feel sad, and if that hits a threshold(which is different for different people), then you are likely to cry. read about guilt above.

>you're terrible at conveying your thoughts

this is because I like most human beings understand these things innately and the reason why I am arguing this point is in order to articulate my thoughts on the matter in order so that I could better understand my proscriptions and criticisms.

>harem

...

Best girl.

it is interesting - all the best anime DO have non-typical looking MCs.

It's an identifiable pattern such that you would think that japanese creators would recognize this and realize the more effort they put into their MC the higher chance their series won't be shit.

>but human responses to events are generally similar
Yes and Souta doesn't share any responsibility the ones you spout share, neither he has any options or any radical actions to keep on going. He doesn't have a giant robot, and the responsibility of the world doesn't weigh on his shoulders no matter what he does with Altair's name.

she's one of the best things the show could ever produce

>Yes and Souta doesn't share any responsibility the ones you spout share

you seem to be misunderstanding what I am saying and that is: if the (mc) is not inclined to express his emotions in a visible manner(as stated by some user), then there was no reason that he would cry at the magical girl's death like a little bitch.

the reason I brought up those characters is because they are theoretically similar to the (mc) in temperament(the temperament described by some user) and they responded emotionally to their situations in a manor one could describe as being more realistic in that they were experiencing multiple emotions and the emotions they were express fell more in line with their given situations.

I do not care if a character can or can't do something, as long as they act in a plausible manor I am all good.

and given the fact that the mc cried like a little bitch due to guilt, he is inhuman in my eyes. people do not cry like little bitches due to guilt.

I was so close to dropping this show because of him. I'm glad I stuck around for Meteroa and shark.

Are there enough beta pussies in japan that have pushed their online friends to suicide by completely ignoring them in their time of need that this character is a relatable self insert?

It's kind of pathetic to see you make a point that doesn't even exist just for the sake of argument.

elaborate.
it seems that I lack the tolerance you do.

Elaborate what? The redardation that is
>and given the fact that the mc cried like a little bitch due to guilt, he is inhuman in my eyes. people do not cry like little bitches due to guilt.
Speaks for itself

Fake glasses, the light doesnt refract.
Normally it would, look at fantano's videos for example, there they always refract

eceleb cancer. kill you'reself

Shinji is a girl.

>if your mc is a qtpi twink your anime is probably shit

I.

Disagree.

You are gay

My MC makes sure glasses beta-kun remains her slave

Canonically he is a good looking guy too, so it Is different than most nerd MC's

I still liked the show OP, you're just making up dumb excuses for your shit taste
