perfection leaves nothing more to talk about. so it dies quietly after sole appreciation. All other NGE memes are abominations of ill thought fan service.

>perfection leaves nothing more to talk about. so it dies quietly

This is true. Rei died quietly, Asuka died shrieking like a whore

anyone here from
ended
?

no, but we are here from

Does it matter? I mean we've all got the same name here. This is tang for all intents and purposes.

Was Thanatos about Asuka and her mother?

Reminders about this scene

1) After Shinji 'kills' Asuka in the kitchen scene and the crayon slides play, there is a rapidfire flash of all Evangelion's episode titles.
Asuka's life is flashing before her eyes, probably.
During these episode titles' flashing, two episode titles are bright red. Episode 10 (magma diver - Asuka saved by Shinji) and Episode 22 (Asuka's mind invasion - Asuka saved by Rei) are those. These are episodes that were damaging to Asuka's psyche.
Several other episodes are proceeded by a red frame, although the episode title itself is not red. In these episodes Asuka suffered less severe wounds. In the episode where Touji is selected as the next pilot, a red frame comes right after, for example. If you watched that episode you know something was bothering Asuka, whether it be the additional competition or whether she didn't want another person being put in harm's way fighting angels.

There are also two episodes with unique white title frames. One of them is episode 15, the kiss episode. It is possible that the 'white' title frames are instances in which Shinji was hurt.

So the crayon sequence seems likely to be related to Asuka or Shinji's memories, and if you look closely, some of them appear to depict Shinji and Asuka.
One of them clearly depicts Asuka standing above someone else (Shinji?) holding what could be the lance of longinus.
Another clearly depicts someone (Shinji?) and one of the NERV VTOL aircraft.

Could be. I mean I'm not very good with songs and hidden meanings. But it would make sense if it was.

Here's the one that seems to depict Asuka and Shinji

And here's the one that seems to depict somebody and a NERV VTOL aircraft in the upper left

Interesting thing: in that crayon drawing Asuka appears to have no face.
In Rebuild, there was going to be a scene in which Bardiel tore off Asuka's face.
Although it didn't make the cut, there is still a single frame where you can see Bardiel attaching to Asuka's face in the final cut of 2.0, implying it did happen, just off screen.

What are you trying to say, that they met before? Or that Asuka has red scenes in the same manner that Crab does?

I feel stupid for not realising why some characters were worried about Rei piloting unit 1. It was because they were worried about unit 1 getting a piece of Lillith soul back.

I got a vet in the family, that's parenthogenesis and not birth.

What exactly was so wrong with the infamous elevator scene?

Looks like they're chilling in a bath.

I thought it was just like cells dividing from one another. I need to look up what that word means.

I have no idea. The only theory I have about the crayon drawings is a just-for-fun one which unifies with some irregularities I have noticed about Asuka's coma (why is she in a coma after being depressed?) and about the hospital scenes in general

The hospital scene: there are a lot of them, and in all except one, there is bizarre dreamlike lighting and nothing supernatural (ie. angels/evas/etc.) is mentioned by the characters.
Asuka is also in a coma for no apparent reason in the last hospital scene. She was simply depressed and malnourished last we saw of her, nothing that would cause a coma.

So maybe the cast of Evangelion are kids in a cancer ward, and NGE is Shinji's crayon drawing world about adventures with the other kids there. And perhaps instrumentality is, in hospital-world terms, about Asuka entering a coma, and Shinji deciding to kill himself to be with her? But then it turns out that she wakes up?

Just silence, it felt unnesessary, but in Eva the unnesessary is what makes up Eva.

I mean, Shinji made graveposts for all of his friends, and Asuka kicked hers over

Doesn't that seem a little melodramatic if this is a story about tang?

Nothing.

It was a test of patience. Weebs with ADHD couldn't handle it so they bitched.

>So maybe the cast of Evangelion are kids in a cancer ward, and NGE is Shinji's crayon drawing world about adventures with the other kids there.

It's an interesting idea but there has to be conscious rejection for the scenes to really work. When someone's gone because of a higher power like cancer or a disease, you learn to accept it and can't really rebel against it. Unless you're, like, Gendo.
I'd write more but I simply can't get into their mind-state.
>don't kill me.
>you betrayed my feelings.
Who the hell every says that?

Was it Aspergers?

It could be about any of the characters, really

>whether she didn't want another person being put in harm's way fighting angels
You really think she's worried about her pal Toji? That'd be nice, we know Rei was, maybe Asuka was worried about Hikari and Shinji, since she knows they really like him.
desu leaving Toji out is EoE's biggest weakness to me.

Sort of looks like Shinji in a cage

I do think it's possible. Because you're only exposed to the dramatic scenes where she's angry, you get the impression that Asuka doesn't have any good heartedness, but if you pay close attention she does. The ramen scene, the violin scene, etc.

Not to mention the most important one of all.

I'm sure she's got a lot of hidden qualities to her. Problem is, she has to be choked hard two times before she's ready to show any of it.

It's sort of like shelling a walnut. You have to get violent with it before it gives up its fruit.

Avoidant personality and extreme sadism and masochism. He's too emotional and artistic to be a spurg like Kamille.

I always found the Asuka-Toji relationship to be interesting. I wonder how she actually feels about him, since he's the only boy who doesn't worship her.

is there a higher res version of this?

So you can't just do it playfully, then? Got to do it hard, is that what you're saying?

>Rei dies
You can't kill what isn't alive. She's preatty much Gendo's personalized flesh light.

It's all about applying pressure in the right places, moderately. Push too hard and you'll pulverize the insides, but if you do it just right you'll do nothing but peel away that harsh shell.

You've seen the live action scene, right?

Pity bump.

They were fucking or something

Damn I really want to do it now. Do you think she's the sort of person to completely relax while being strangled?

She rejects Gendo in the end.

What happens to Gendo's soul? Is he absorbed into Yui or simply nulled?

>>This is tang for all intents and purposes.
well, you're not wrong.

What scares me is the rest of the world is getting more and more like tang every day.

I just watched episode 16 and man it was great

...

>like rei better
>but asuka lewds are really fucking good
anyone else feel like this

I do senpai

Does it count if I once pretended to be a Reifag on a forum? Ended up with a redhead getting interested in me and a Kaworu friend, though the both turned out to be negative influences later in life.

>no, this isn't me

over 20 years and the depth of evangelion is unbelievable ( for my kind )

And what kind is that exactly? Are you trying to imply your organism is crawling with magic lust worms or something?

Any good Asuka hentai?

Anything made by ReDrop.

Yea, one in which you get pity choked for that post.

Since Asuka is underaged isnt that technically CP?

Depends on the country and an expert. Where I live, there were precedents where drawn pornography was considered to be child porn.

Where is that? If you mean the US, drawn porn depicting minors is only illegal if the minor depicted actually exists in real life. That law was made because CP circles would get their child rape videos rotoscoped then trade them freely since they were just drawings at that point legally.

Russia. The application of the law can be pretty bizarre. I remember when Sup Forums was blocked for like a week because of an image on /e/ that depicted that one railgun chick who is underaged. Good thing they didn't look on /d/, amirite? All major booru and hentai sites are blocked, though. Gotta use VPN or some other way.

>Russia is the only one fighting the war against degeneracy
God Bless Them

Why would you make this post even ironically?

Isn't at least 'Straya doing the same thing? I also remember SK porn laws being uber-draconian. The legal status of porn in Russia is uncertain. Pornhub was blocked, but later unblocked when their added a way to identify yourself through VK (Russian Facebook clone) to confirm you're not underage. However it's incredibly easy to bypass the autentification using any adblocker.

> only illegal if actually exists in real life.
that's literally the opposite of what the law says

I'm not being ironic, you might have autism if you can't pick up on anything.

Not directly relevant to your post, but since you posted that scene, I want to ask for opinions on what that action means for Asuka's character. To me, Asuka's whole thing was needing to be loved by others. She desperately wanted others to praise her, appreciate her, and give themselves to her. But in that final scene, she is the one who loves Shinji. Shinji is hurtful towards her and shows her no love, but she forgives and accepts him. This seems like a reversal of her character throughout the series.

Shinji never jerked his pink Ninja turtle to Asuka, it was all a psyop program

>Shinji never jerked his pink Ninja turtle to Asuka, it was all a psyop program
Nigga what?

How would you describe NGE to a normie?

Fun cartoon about giant robots fighting

>cartoon

Is NGE technically a Shonen? As in aimed at kids and early teens?

I wouldn't have guessed it is even though the MCs are 14. I watched it on Adult Swim when I was that age, but I didn't get any of the deeper scenes or subtext and just watched because giant robots fighting and because Asuka and Misato were qt. I've watched the show multiple times since, including watching it again right now, and I get more and more as get older, shit that I never would have as a kid.

NGE is a masterpiece, but those that waifu Asuka or Rei, and still discuss it every day really need to watch more anime. NGE is a gateway to things like Yahari and Lain.

I need to know if the girl in this drawing is Asuka, can somebody confirm?

When Asuka was found, it looks like it’s implied that she slit her wrist in that bathtub, and the coma could have just been medically induced to prevent self injury or something

Technically Asuka was 13 in 1996 when Evangelion aired but was born in 2001. She either just had her sweet 16 or she's 35.

Pretty sure it's Asuka

Yes

Thanks, digits don't lie.
My pedagogy teacher uses her as an example of a student in need of special support under the pseudonym "Ida Intensified" in one of the papers she's give out.
I wonder if she knows.

Death Stranding is basically End of Eva, watch the new trailer about the impacts

There’s a new death standing trailer??

No gameplay

That's Rei

who needs a mom if you have a box

So the order is series then EoE then rebuilds, but where does death and rebirth go and is it important?

Anyone have that iceberg tier picture of all the Eva theories?

Nice try trying to hide your feelings

Bump

Anyone have the regular Asuka watermelon image?

...

That's not what I said you visually impaired illiterate buffoon. I want just ASUKA WITH THE WATERMELON, NOTHING ELSE!

Open photoshop, crop it to Asuka and use content-aware fill on pajamaShinji

Where can you go online to watch the directors cut?

Don't give me sass, faggot. I don't know how to use Photoshop you inconsiderate prick.

What exactly is death and rebirth?

Death is a recap of the original series in an hour. Rebirth was the all-new animation and covered the first part of EoE. You can skip them.

Ok I was just wondering about them, should I immediately jump into the rebuilds after EoE or wait to let everything sink in a bit?

Watch EoE, make the obligatory what the fuck did i just watch thread to get all your questions out of the way, then watch the rebuilds.

Ok sounds like a plan
