So why do people like this show again? Go watch Gundam it's better.
Jackson Johnson
No its not, Gundam was shit fights and most of the time, shit stories with a good share of whiny kids.
Jack Rivera
>Gundam >shit fights
You need to be bright-slapped.
Evan Scott
Yeah, why would anyone care about a generic bitchy tsundere love interest?
Hudson Lewis
but Asuka isn't a love interest, she's just a menstruating bitch.
Juan Gomez
As far as the target audience goes, there's no fucking difference.
William Sanders
Why do normalfags hate 'whiny MCs' so much?
Camden Price
Awfully weak bait there OP
Colton Smith
>When you don't appreciate it for the psychological and religious symbolism and instead talk about the fights. >jojo cucks get out
Dylan Martinez
>Why do normalfags hate horomonal edgy emo faggots with daddy issues so much?
Geez user I dunno.
Nathaniel Myers
it doesn't have enough bang boom whoosh for you?
Jeremiah Russell
Nice space
Josiah Anderson
also i wont deny that the Eva fanbase are elitists
Adrian Roberts
only thing Gundam had on Eva was the abundance of beeping sounds
William Ramirez
>appreciating the religious symbolism
What are you a christfag?
Matthew Turner
Most times he rebels, he does so for a good reason. He's either reaching out for support, or reacting to injustice. He only comes off as whiny because we get to see the side of him most people irl would try to hide. Or do their best at hiding.
Jayden Ramirez
Also what does wanting better fight scenes have to do with being a JoJofag?
Nathaniel Bell
so we both noticed he didn't mention the actual best girl in the series?
I always knew you had good taste, Zura-kun
Lucas Torres
Gundam is an entirely different show to Evangelion and both are worth watching.
Hunter Evans
get out heathen
Luis Bell
The fights are also better than in gundam though. Apart from possibly some 0083 and thunderbolt scenes.
Anthony Myers
>generic Because 20 years ago this wasn't "generic"
>bishie low IQ
>animation Was great.
>robot designs Unit-01 is probably the most memorable mech design in all media. Even normalfags who haven't watched Eva know the purple/green robot. No one except people into Gundam know a single Gundam.
>>cancerous and elitist fanbase Literally irrelevant. If you choose what to like based on the people that like it you've got a single digit IQ.
Isaac Wright
>shitty 90's animation But that's wrong, NGE's anination was pretty solid for the most part.
Matthew Perez
>Go watch Gundam it's better. This
Jackson Long
There's no significant meaning behind all the Christian imagery though, Anno said so himself.
Ayden Baker
Almost like someone wants to get slapped tonight. Must be my imagination.
Jose Richardson
You're just mad even people who don't like the show know what shit taste you have
Jaxon Torres
>Bishie >low IQ Yea okay. I have a low IQ because for pointing out kaworu is a bishie. Because there totally isn't 10000+ doujins starring Kaworu and Shinji fucking. >animation >was great No it fucking wasn't. It extremely low budget and they Definitely cut corners in certain places. Did you forget episode 24. Jeez i knew evafags were elitists but I didn't know they were also in denial!
Michael Lewis
Norse-fag but you can't deny that's just good fuckin writing right there
Lincoln Allen
Reminder that low-effort bait like this should be reported on-sight.
Charles Bailey
But it does enrich the plot and writing more so than other animes. especially Gundam. I mean, what are you really taking away from the plot and character other than the robots being the materialized willpower and determination of their spirit and bad guys are bad?
Jack Ramirez
we aren't in denial. we appreciate it for all of its flaws and still think its better than most shit. Also just because people get their peen hard and gashes wet to them two doesn't mean it was the intention. Kaworu-cunt is symbolic and represents the conflicting sexual confusion/desires of Shinji.
Justin Phillips
(you)
James Gray
>assuming anything is original anymore
Christian Thompson
I'm mad at myself that I want a mean, hateful bitch and that I got no control over it.
Oliver Kelly
>>unmemorable robot designs
Nigga I will punch your lights out.
John Clark
Fite me IRL.
Michael Perez
I'll kick your ass
Aiden Scott
Evangelion is my favourite anime but if you think there's religious symbolism in it you need to be buried alive under a pile of dictionaries.
Noah Brown
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mobile Suit Gundam. The emotional drama is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of psychology most of the conflict will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Amuro's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Gundam truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Amuro's existencial catchphrase "Not even mu own father hit me!" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tomino Yoshiyuki's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Gundam tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Luis Davis
>old copypasta
Kill yourself.
Grayson Price
>didn't mention anything negative about rei I see. So reifags just hate NGE and only like the design of their toiletfu. good to know
Blake Kelly
you're pulling at thin air there buddy
Owen Morgan
>bishie faggot who only exists for the sake of fujobait
This is a legit point
Gavin Ward
maybe normies cant relate to shinji
Justin Morris
uh no? did you watch the rebuild
Kayden Wilson
Enjoy your heated eva argument with yourself. You called a man who worked for 7 days a week a neet. After that, I got no fucking business here.
>OP complains about 2/3 of the main characters, even about a minor character who only appeared for one episode while conveniently ignoring the other main character who was as important to the plot, said character has the depth of a kid's pool yeah, right
Adam Anderson
you shouldn't alt-tab so much when you watch a show, did you even watch NGE
Easton Brooks
Much of that is in retrospect. Eva popularized or had influence on (not necessarily create) those character types, for example. People aren't used to 'whiny bitch' heroes. When the call to adventure comes, the hero normally seizes the opportunity to no longer be some faggot. They have it in them to be a hero. They've got heart, they've got attitude, they've got initiative, they're extrospective, they're persons of action.
Shinji is not written in this conventional manner. Normalfags don't care for his sort of anti-heroic character. That one shitty webcomic is how quite a few actually see things.
Ian Anderson
He didn't mention Misato either. Stop being desperate.
Blake Johnson
This.
Brody Martin
OTP
Luis Hernandez
I know this is a bait thread, but context is important. Eva came out a time where nothing but hot blooded screaming robot pilots were the norm. Having a mental case shy kid as the protagonist was genre breaking
Samuel Scott
Bump.
Adam Nguyen
The reason you can call them generic is because all the shows that came after them modeled their characters after them. OP is a fucking moron.
Aaron Russell
>despite all that it managed to spawn the best girl in all of anime >and a war that has been raging for 20+ years with no sign of stopping
Evan Perry
So did they just blow most of their remaining budget on Episode 20? The animation is great in that episode, and then a lot of the remaining six episodes are just clips from previous episodes
i guess they knew they could just redo the ending in a movie anyway so why waste money doing it right in the original airing
Jonathan Bennett
Shinji is THE whiny emo protag, thank you very much.
