EOE- IS IT A MASTERPIECE?

I've been thinking about it for a while, and I have to say that evangelion is masterpiece in terms of the message it sends and how made me feel but was way too sloppy in plot execution.

It's a piece of the master.

This really made me think!

Anyone who wasnt completely blown away by it is dumb

I would just say they're lucky that they can't relate to the film and the way shinji feels. I was going through grief when I watched this movie.

Yeah, it was pretty dang good. Definitely my favorite movie.

If you really were, you wouldn't have put it in such an insincere way.

I believe you as much as I always do. Maybe less, I assume you to say the opposite before you go to sleep.

Too bad that waifufags will never understand that Asuka is only for Kaji and Rei is only for Gendo.

as someone who grew up without a mother, I can relate with you and shinji in some ways


At some points, there's nothing on earth more exhilarating than mere affection in an ocean of deprivation

Asuka is for choke only.

Listen, I'm not being disingenuous. I lost a parent, and was the one who found him. I have tried ending it several times but the will to be there for my family has stopped me. For a long time I wished I could get run over by a by a bus or something so I wasn't the one who caused my death, as that would scar my family. Evangelion helped me understand that I'm not alone. There are people suffering from what I was going through as well, loathing themselves, hating themselves for continuing to live in a world they hate. There is also purposely putting down others so you have an excuse to hate yourself. So no, I'm not making this up.

it takes integrity to acknowledge your flaws, whether they're our fault or not, and have the self reflection work on them as well. Well done user

Thanks, that means a lot to me. I've been trying to recognize my flaws and do something about them.

>anything non normalfag is /r9k/
neog/a/f neo Sup Forums pls go

I'm sorry but if you focus on the waifu aspect of the show you are most likely missing the point. Eva is supposed to make you reflect.

Waifufags can never truly understand the message of the master, and honestly waifuing any of the girls is truly NTR. Asuka likes Kaji, Rei likes Gendo and Misato likes Kaji.

I wish they got some taste and decided to waifu better girls. Disgusting.

>Not having watched it on fansubbed bootleg VHSs in the late 90s

Gendo is for dying alone and unloved as a direct consequence of his life choices

The End Of Evangelion is a superior work, it’s not really a film proper, in the sense that a film is a work of art that can stand on its own, independent of its allusions. By contrast, End requires good familiarity with the series, for it doesn’t really bring you into its world, or even explain what’s happening and why. It merely strands you at the end of episode 24, and re-imagines things from there. Yet End is not even an expansion of the series — the philosophical posits are identical, and the psychology of the characters is explored in the same way — but simply a means to give some body to Evangelion’s hated ending, in that the viewer now sees the physical effects of things the show merely implied: a change, really, that’s not necessarily preferable or better than the original (as Anno has insisted), and little more than a means to sate one portion of his fan-base. For this reason, End is less ballsy than the original, and pretty much devolves to a solid action flick, even as the animation, itself, is better than the original’s, and a number of its images quite superb.

But Rei's seiyuu said that they are each others Hikoboshi and Orihime.

EvaGeeks discourse sure generates a lot of wrong opinions.

Although I was too young to ever watch Evangelion upon its release, I recognize, today, all the little markers of — and in — the show that helped define an illusory decade, a decade whose fraud, prosperity, and reneged (in some cases, never made) promises are only completely apparent now, two decades after the fact. I see Evangelion in the way we’d play in the street: that is, only half-way, for we were the first generation to live in media while others had to contend with the ‘real’ world, and thus have our imaginations turn inward, and en masse. I see Evangelion in how kids related to one another with an innocence of bigger things that, only a few years earlier, they’d not ever have been able to escape from, and might, with the right combination of stupidity and ill luck, have even been killed by. And I’ll see what meaning (if any) such recollections, now, might have in the future, when such things go distant. For while Evangelion’s Nerv might have had Robert Browning’s most famous quotation, they missed his more salient one, the one that applies both to the show, as well as those who’ve been affected by it: those that wanted something better, something deeper, if only for themselves, but didn’t quite know how to proceed:

Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for…?

>way too sloppy in plot execution
No it wasn't, you just have ADD.
