>>135521739
No Anon, you're not. The fiction is inherent in the relationship. Every night I have a quick chat with my Waifu, tell her what went on in my day, and head to sleep. This can be a waifu, or a tulpa, or some meditation, it doesn't matter what. It's self-serving, and nothing more.

I hope, one day, we can detach the brain from any physicality. Until then, our Waifus are as close as they'll ever be, and the rest is ours to make.

>>135521921
See, this is what I'm saying anon. "Want" is not some magical fuel that can do anything. Not trying to break you down or anything. It's just that the fact that "life sucks" happening to be one of the most banal truisms says quite a bit about the human condition, but especially for us who suffer in such ways.

>>135522452
I don't know how old your are anon, but I felt much the same in my early 20s. I drank to near death, in the hopes my brain would die sufficiently to integrate with everyone else. That means nothing though. If what you're doing brings you no joy, then do something else. Endeavour to achieve the best you can; if you have no completances, develop them. If you do, utilise them, and go for whatever you image to be fun. How about spending 2 months driving around continental Europe? You can make the money for it, you can spare the time, do it and see how it feels. A sedentary lifestyle is the worst death.

>>135522618
Never limit your hopes to a solipsistic, and fictitious, satisfaction. You have more to gain from life, and, as you're living, there's not reason to disregard it. Don't dash your hopes, maintain them, and supersede your expectations.

Regardless, it's 07:30, and I'm heading to sleep. Have a happy new year /a/. Make what you want of 2016, strive for your goals and succeed.

My last flourish before I sleep... yes, alone. You don't need to know other languages, you'll pick things up as you go. Some of it will be odd, some of it will be fun, some of it won't. But traveling alone builds character like nothing else. What do you have to lose for giving it a go?

You better not be referring to the missus.

Sure there is. Life is hardly as miraculous as some like to claim, nor as opportunity-festooned as some would believe. There's just about nothing truly fulfilling for most of us here.

I've never seen EVA. Should it be the first anime I watch this year? Series or movies?

I have an unsubstantiated association of the Third Impact sequence as a visual metaphor for a suicide attempt, the live action sequence as a near-death experience, and the penultimate sequence as surviving/recovering the will to live.

>>135523183
Series, which includes EoE afterwards.

Rebuild is optional for-fun afterwards, if you feel like it. But it's not really part of 'Eva' yet

>>135523183
Evangelion > End of Evangelion > Rebuild + 2nd 4.0 trailer thing > manga

Sephirotic BD rips, you can find them on Nyaa. Would almost recommend 2D4U/RX782, but he fucked up episode 19 and he was close to retirement so he couldn't be arsed to fix it.

Sephirotic is also good for EoE.

>>135523313
Dub is pretty good. A bit messy for the first 3 episodes but it's pretty good and will help you keep your eyes on the screen in comparison to the japanese

>>135523313
Don't think there are 'best subs', official are good enough and any fansubs will have been refined over twenty years to also be good enough.

Just be sure to get it with the Director's Cut for episodes 21-24 (though it's pretty hard to find it without the Director's Cut nowadays). And BDs are just out a few months ago, be sure to get those.

Yeah, "based mods" for doing a public ban once a week, nevermind the fact that the board is overflowing with retarded /b/-tier bullshit pretty much 24/7 now! Yeah, keep saying how much you "miss moot" and how "sad" you are he left, despite the fact he hasn't actually DONE anything in his last 2-3 years and has been thoroughly normalfagized! Just keep regurgitating the same shitty memes over and over again ignoring the actual state of the board.

There's no fixing, the resources are all depleted and while plasma torches could be used to break down rubble into base components, the industrial and scientific base needed to make a machine to reorganize all those atoms into usable matter is forever lost.

There's no means to rebuild our society if such cataclysmic event ever happened, that's why it's imperative that we roll into the space faring age ASAP.

>>135537533
Next step in evolution is to connect our minds. Humanity won't progress enough to leave Earth otherwise. We're too flawed.

>>135537632

Awww, that's so sweet.

>>135537674

Humanity would be so boring if it was flawless(to however extend that would be possible).

Besides, even if that were possible it would inevitably end in splitting humanity into those that accept that form and those that violently reject it. You just know it.

>>135537674

I think that we are approaching a unified existence irl with globalisation and the advent of the internet. However, with all our eggs in one basket, our chance of permanent failure increases dramatically.

The power of humans is in our individuality. Our separate cultures, civilizations is what prevents us from being wiped out, or doing it ourselves. Where one group of people failed, perhaps another group that developed independently will succeed, or not fail.

This is why we need to go to space. and space weed.

Rebuild of Evangelion Movie 4... scrap that, I mean Eva 4.0... scrap that, what I wanted to say is that Evangelion 3.0+1.0 was supposed to air on the 31st of December.

This is kind of salt in the wound to be honest. But eh, whatever.

The ones rejecting will be left behind and perish, just like the cultures that didn't accept science. We will see the same happen when genetic engineering reaches a stage where we can create perfect babies. The ones rejecting it will be left very far behind.

>>135537817
>The power of humans is in our individuality.

I wholeheartedly disagree. The power of humanity is teamwork. Ability to work together and achieve a common goal is how we got so far. Exceptional, one in a billion, genius minds here and there throughout history helped for sure, but in the end, we are social creatures which couldn't survive without cooperation.

Well, technology is a double edged sword. If that form of unification does what you think it will do then sure, great. But I'm not that optimistic.

>The power of humanity is teamwork.

Yes, we are the most cooperative and therefore the most successful species known.

BUT our power is also individuality. See, perfect unification of goals and means does not lead to innovation.

Ants or molerats or whatever do not invent because they bet all their evolutionary money on unification. We on the other hand have cooperation despite individuality. And it's individuality that in some small percentage of population leads to innovation, breaking the mould, thinking bigger than others.

As cheesy as that sounds both cooperation and individuality are like ying and yang of human potential.

Also, this whisky is gooooood.

Working together is how we can achieve anything beyond what a single person could do, but what I'm saying is there may be an upper limit on that economy. Separate groups > One big group.

All civilizations have beginnings and ends. If we congregate into one big group, we will all end, or at least experience a much more debilitating catastrophe. If we have many smaller groups, even if one dies the others may not necessarily perish. Also, there are some bonuses to independent development. Teamwork is essential, but I think the marginal benefits decrease the bigger the team.

The loss of individuality? It's been a good 10 or 11 years since I've seen NGE, and even then I was confused as fuck.

>>135537910
Some reports stated that sources ranging from insider info to magazine quotes and website dates have pinpointed the release date for late winter 2015 which many just assumed would be December 31st as time just went on and on then they just denounced it and removed the date.

That was the date I was last aware of and was waiting for. I had forgotten about it then checked when I remembered and I met disappointment. I kind off did it to myself.

>>135538130
The loss of individuality is more severe than just "we get to evolve." It's ego death. You cease to exist in your entirety as the entire idea of a self becomes lost. All your own ideas and beliefs are no longer your own because there are no more boundaries; all your beliefs are shared and mixed with those of every single other being.

The result of Instrumentality is the creation of a singular being that functions based on the consensus of the Whole. You are little more than a cell of this new being, and it moves forward on its own. You don't get a personal heaven. You do not pass go. You do not collect 200$. Your existence is indistinguishable from death.

>>135538145
There was never an official release date, only speculation and fanwank. It's retarded to expect a movie to come out with absolutely no announcement of it, whether a year or just a few months before.

>>135513987
I like Evangelion as a whole, but EoE was utter shit. It completely forgoes story telling to give you back to back shock imagery and attempts to lose the audience with all the quick cuts and 10 minute monologues about the human condition. Which, contrary to popular belief, doesn't make for interesting television.

>>135538252
I trusted the sources I read. I didn't know whether they were based on official announcement or not. Last I checked I went to a website and just read "release date: December 31" so I just waited for that.

While I wouldn't use Chrome out of principal, it's not like there are better alternatives out there. Firefox is the same garbage these days, how the mighty have fallen. And all the god damn terrible forks floating around feel like garbage from 10 years ago that cannot keep up.

I wish a new good browser would come out already, but with how huge chrome has been getting I cannot see it getting far. It'll need to do what firefox was good for, aim at power users that is, and not try to become a lesser chrome and still hope.

As cheesy as it sounds I agree with you. Our individuality does matter. Human ego is a powerful thing. and when fed with the right amount of will and determination, we are capable of achieving wonders.

Science has always been used for 'good' and 'evil'. Any amount of power corrupts, and science has always given us more power than we know what to do with. As long as sanity prevails, we won't destroy ourselves.

>>135538121
>Separate groups > One big group

Absolutely. Tribalism is too ingrained in our dna for us to ever truly become one.

Upper limit is 240 by Dunbar, the proposed tribal size we developed to live within and maximum number of people you can identify with or treat with any respect. You can fit in more but you need to trick yourself and put them in a group and anthropomorphize it to fit in a single slot.

I want to protect her and help her. Her personality is relatable, too. But I'd also like her to bully me and well, be herself to me. It's a bit esoteric and hard to describe, in truth. Ideally, I'd be 14 again and we'd go through all the awkwardness and what have you. I'd want to know I matter to her in the end, but I don't want to know that from the get go. I'd want to go through it all with her, I guess is an okay way to put it. A hot-blooded and genuine relationship.

I don't know I'm probably not making a whole lot of sense.

>>135549028
If your overall point was that Asuka is less likely to spend time with you than Rei, then you're gravely mistaken. Asuka had more "friends" than any version of Rei ever did.

Unless you're talking about ReiQ from 3.33, Rei would just ignore you and go suck Gendo's dick like a good little slave doll should.

well, with new timeline it will happen in 2029

>I wish you anon a happy new year

Shouldn't it be I wish you anons a happy new year? Can anon be used plural or is this just the result of new moot using engrish?

>>135551258
Anons sounds right. Anonimy/Annonimi is alright,too.

So we survived the third impact, but what about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? Are you ready for our lord and savior AKIRA?

What if I drank the tang?

Despite the number of copies of the message, each time there's one person reading the message at the end of the screen.

We are alone, in the end, the point is suspending our disbeliefs by being alone with someone else.

It's more personal this way.

That was the point of the image anon. No matter how much I care, nothing will change that really matters to me. That's just been the reality for vast swathes of us. Dr. Seuss was a normalfag anyhow.

Manga doesn't count. We're discussing the anime NGE. We always were. You're grasping for straws, and your point is still wrong.
Deal with it.

Go back and read Dr Seuss again. You're pathetic and you have nobody to blame but yourself.

No, nigger, we were discussing waifus, while op was on something completely different so ultimately we are all faggots. You're projecting this "only NGE anime" only because it fits your narrative. Although I'm not the anon you initially argued, so you can ease up a bit, I don't hate Asuka.

I hope things work out anon

Did anyone watch this new movie on the Syfy Channel, Childhood's End?

They totally ripped off End Of Evangelion in its ending.

I am so sick of western movies ripping off anime!

It was a shitty ending for the guy, this is how he should have gone out.

I'm saying it in a state not unlike that, make rope out of hope, as they say.
Everything will be daijobu*, anon.


*remedies, dosage and results may vary from situation to situation, but there's a way for everyone of them if you find the right ones.

>>135553369
End of Evangelion's ending was ripped off from Devilman

>>135552798
Fine, but it still doesn't change my original point or make that Anon's point valid.

>>135553560
Devilman was ripped off from the Bible.

Just had the best night of my life, All the friends i thought i had lost to University came back. the last years of high-school where complete hell, stuck in one elongated relationship, regularly re-watched EVA for help in getting through those times. It all ended badly a year ago complete mental breakdown after a bad illness streak during the holidays. Now a year later i survived and became better for it, my grades are vastly improved, my money situation is more stable. Last night i snuggled with a beautiful smart woman and this morning i kissed her over and over, she's not ready for a relationship right now , but in a month my phone will ring.

Hang in there /a/ Happiness can only be achieved with sacrifice.

>>135553634
Devilman is the Bible.

>>135553736
Or just being a fucking normalfag blogger in your case.

Instrumentality happened? I was wondering what was going on, I woke up this morning naked and sticky, not surprising in and of itself, but the rum bottle was inexplicably only half empty.

[citation needed]

I mean really, it seems as only Western Evafags celebrated Third Impact today, and the sources I found seem to leave out some clear info from the series. On the other hand, there's quite a lot of Japanese websites that assert that right now, we're between Matarael and Sahaqiel.

Who should I believe, /a/?

>>135553751
Not my bible. I'm an evangelical, I believe that all the events in the original TV series happened, that we can only receive salvation through rebirth and by rejecting the sin of Rebuild.

>>135553845
Third Impact was happening on the night of Dec 31, 2015. You can see the date multiple times on screen. Give it some hours for Shinji to reject it and it's the 1st.
When else would it be?

>>135554085
Sometime in the summer.
June, I think.

>>135553472
I still hold the theory that Eva01 took Gendo into itself so his soul could be with Yui.

>>135554085
Well I don't know, I watched EoE the other day and I don't recall anything but 2015 AD on one screen as a way to know the date.

On the other hand, there's a scene in Death that points to the series taking place in 2016 from episode 15 forward, if not earlier.

>>135553567
Rei hanged out with Shinji in the gardens though. All it took was to show a little concern for her.

The IRL equivalent to Instrumentality is communism.

>>135556020
More like the exact contrary

does anyone have that manga page of shinji saying he doesn't want to fuck teh rei? asuka is saying that he likes her, then he says he thinks of her more as a mother, then asuka says she's never gotten to first base.
