After years of putting it off, I finally watched Neon Genesis Evangelion and the three films of the Rebuild of Evangelion series.

I have two questions about the third film:
Why did the blonde Dr woman who knew about Ikari's plans all along join Misato's rebellion-group? I thought a third/fourth impact was her goal as well?

Where was Misato's boyfriend in the third film? They never established he died in the second one, did they?

Also, is The End of Evangelion worth watching? I was content with the anime ending so I just moved on to the entirely retold story with modern animation but I figure Asuka's eyepatch is explained in it or something?
>>
>>117291130
1 They didn't know shit.
Only parts of it and Gendo was the sole person who knew it all.
2 Rebuilds are garbage, you watch EOE, not rebuilds.
>>
>>117291130
Some will say that EoE is not worth watching. Others, like me, will urge you to deffinitely go and see it. Right now. Why are you still reading this. Go!

Death & Rebirth is completely skippable though.

I do see it come up here and there that original ending is way better and EoE only ruined it. I also know personally 2 people who think that.

>Fifthweel Rei
Lets be honest here.

Yes, it sucks for Rei fans and other fans who expected Anno, Tsurumaki, and the rest of Khara to showcase Rei Ayanami's fantastic character from the original, and do their best to make a new rendition that was on par with the original.

But then look at the rest. They are shallow, fantasy pandered versions of themselves, their entire character is sold on being homosexual and to be marketed as such to an audience who fetishize same sex couples. Their characters are changed at a whim to pander ceaselessly according to Anno and the rest's own fantasies.

If Rei is the fifth wheel, then perhaps she's a wheel that's best left away from the car or wagon. Maybe there's a little bit of dignity in that.

>>
>>117296381
>How does it feel to know Asuka won?
>式波
>「Q」のアヤナミレイ(仮称)

I'll be honest with you. This means you actually lost. There are two characters there. "ayanamirei (tentative name) 'Q' ", both of which are altered versions of the original. Both shallow characters that no longer represent what either Asuka or Rei from NGE was.

That Asukafags ate up Shikinami, and Reifags rejected Rei Q, is proof that Reifags were the only one of the two that actually cared about the character.

Asukafags only cared about it's sex appeal and cliche cute girl / tsundere attitude.

Even Asukafags have rejected Asuka, and proved that they identify more with their fantasy version of Asuka than the real one.

Asuka might have won the pandering and fanservice contest, but Rei won the moral victory.
>>
>>117296846
Wow, you won a moral contest over loving 2d girls, you must be proud
>>
>>117296976
It's nothing to be proud over, which is why you have to wonder how pathetic those who see "Asuka winning" in that picture as a victory are.
You'll also have to wonder how utterly insecure and butthurt they've been, even at Gainax or Khara to create this new fantasy Evangelion where their favorites will be the most popular in a popularity poll.

There's no mystery about 3.0.

It's just Anno and Tsurumaki circlejerking about Kaworu and Asuka and using "mystery" as a smokescreen. That's literally all the timeskip is.

Mwell as a Reifag I can't say that's the case if Shinji doesn't feel attracted to Rei that way. It goes both ways.

Fucking auto-post. Didn't finish my thought.
Meant to say Shinji needs the harshness of reality to show him those few moments of kindness as moments to be treasured and not taken for granted. To understand that not everything need be hunky-dory. But that he can face pain and still hold out hope for comfort.
With Rei, he's retreating into his safe-zone where he doesn't have to grow up. But Rei is just a kind fantasy who can give him what he WANTS, but is furthest from what he NEEDs.

It's like some weird propaganda thing

"women can't ever be warm, protective or otherwise interested in other people's wellbeing unless they're a mother figure"

Who believes this shit? Don't they EVER take a step outside to meet real girls? I bet the above is propagated by a bunch of betas so used to rejection by the opposite sex that they think it's like this for everyone.

If Shinji wasn't so filled with meh taste, he'd put a ring on Rei's finger if he gets the chance.
>>
>>117302476
From a psychiatrists perspective, that's wrong. The last thing Shinji needs in his situation is more harshness. He needs a bit of care and comfort and a stable, secure enviroment to develop in.
Rei needs the same thing pretty much, along with Asuka.

If Rei is safe, stable, hunky-dory and what not, then she's a perfect partner, not romantic necessarily.

That's what Anno wants you to think. But he's from a generation where things like Gundam's Bright Slap were the norm when dealing with kids like Shinji. But Anno doesn't force the Bright Slap on Shinji. Shinji decides he needs the Bright Slap himself.

He kind of does force the bright slap continuously. Hell he gets slapped around quite often, even Rei slaps him.
Besides, you miss the point of the bright slap. Amuro was a spoiled kid, almost. His father never hit him. Bright does.

Then you shouldn't take Anno's warped view for the truth. You and I know better.

Yes, but that is a non-relevant issue since not doing it would mean his life would never go on.

Not as much as a slap as an admission that he's given up on taking Evangelion seriously. It's a metaphorical slap to the face for those that hoped Rebuild would be a more serious affair. What's done is done, Rebuild is now only for the otaku.

But when he questions his asshole dad? Pop! She gives him five across the eyes.

If Shinji showed Asuka love, and dicked her a few times, she would probably mellow out, at least towards him, since she won't have to try so hard to get his attention anymore.

Rei and Evangelion is over post 3.0. There's no reason to take anything Rei in Rebuild seriously anymore besides as shallow entertainment.

Yes, but it shows its age even more than Eva does at this point. It's mostly much more light-hearted and less serious than Eva, so don't expect that sort of seriousness. It does shit all over itself when Gainax had to outsource a couple of filler arcs because it was so popular they needed more episodes. But the Island arc is forgivable in its badness since there is plenty of good to see, as well as important plot points like the actual Secret of the Blue Water. The African village arc is cancer on the rest of the series.
Still, it's very Anno, so a lot of the characters have very glaring flaws. Notably Nadia herself, but, like Anno's other shows, there's a lot of depth to them all. And the finale is Anno to the core.

It's all about Shinji learning of how he let us down and how he was a fool to himself and that he tries to live for no one else, but now through all hurt and pain, it's time for him to respect the ones who love him more than anything. So with sadness in his heart, he feels the best thing he can do is end it all and leave forever. What's done is done, and he feels so bad. He once was happy and now is sad. He thinks he'll never love again now that his world is ending
Then he thinks he can turn back time, because now the guilt is all his. He can't live without the trust from those he loves. He knows he can't forget the past, no one can forget love and pride, but because of that, it's killing him inside.
But despite his best efforts, it all returns to nothing as everything comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.

Oh stop it, it's not about just being homo it's about being fujoshi pandering. Do you think Bara, HAADO GAY or you know, ACTUAL homosexuals are homo-pandering?

Fujoshi pandering is all about providing a safe, shippy enviroments where they can set the terms of the homosexual romance themselves. You know, create a mood, maybe a little bit of one on one near a piano, maybe some stargazing, maybe some plot about starcrossed lovers....

Shit like that. You know, the shit that wasn't in the original at all. Shinji could suck a billion dicks on-screen and it would not necessarily be fujoshi pandering.

The fujoshi pandering in 3.0 is the heaviest pandering Evangelion has ever done in a story that sells itself as serious business.

Nothing like the piano, no. You're missing the plot about starcrossed lovers, stargazing, and of course the fact that it's the entire focus of the series, killing off everything else.
What was in episode 24 was a moment of genuine development as opposed to the contrived, pandering situation of 3.0.

In NGE Shinji has been developed for 24 episodes and is naturally inclined to accept Kaworu, however in Rebuild that is not quite the case, meaning the movie has to brush aside everything and then force Kaworu in to make for something similar.

It's extremely fujoshi pandering, and that's a fact.

I don't understand why you're in this much denial about it.

Of course, don't take it literally. Shinji and Nadia's hair is supposed to be black, it's just represented as purple. For that matter, so is Misato's. Also, for some reason Sadamoto felt the need to give Nadia blue eyes in all his art after the show aired, even though her eyes are canonically turquoise.

If the second impact thing is true I'd say that probably soured things between Mari and Yui pretty badly. Thematically it actually could work pretty well with Mari being able to leave what she had done behind contrasted with Shinji and his inability to do so.

>>117307860
Then you're wrong. Objectively. It's not an opinion you can have without being wrong. You're lying to yourself and that's bad.

It's provable even mathematically. NGE has one episode featuring Kaworu out of 26. That's 1/26. Rebuild has one movie out of four. That's 1/4.
Do the math, and that's 650% more fujoshi pandering in Rebuild than in NGE.

That's not even accounting for the fact that Rebuild's fujoshi pandering permeates the entire Rebuild series. Kaworu is in the story since movie 1 and will probably be in the final movie as well. So from the start it's pandering with the starcrossed lovers plot, and Kaworu has been upgraded to a "monster of the week" character to a looping godlike figure.

You're very, very wrong anon. You have to agree with me here if you want to be right.

The original isn't fujoshi pandering, it's a well done character drama as opposed to what 3.0 does, which is just to make for suitable scenarios for fujoshi.

You don't introduce a timeskip, change every relationship and write a contrived plot to bring Kaworu and Shinji together around a piano in a single movie unless you want to pander to fujoshi.

Do you even understand Evangelion?

He's not worrying about it being "real." It's just how he wants to represent his art. Look at Touji's track suit, or Shinji's pants, or Hikari's hair, back in >>117307351. All are supposed to be black, but they're represented as a different color to fit the aesthetic he's aiming for.

But that's all over Eva. The entirety of Evangelion is Shinji's journey and how the all the crazy shit that happens relates to Shinji. Kaworu is just another aspect of that.
>>

>Which anima can match Eva in char design?
Are you seriously going to go that route?
Theres plenty of other shows that have interesting characters and character development that exceeds what was done in NGE and EoE.
>>
>>117308741
I can't remember the last time anything important about Kaworu was discussed besides understanding his role in Rebuild and what the effects of it are, which are unilaterally negative for the story. Removing Kaworu from Rebuild would be better.

He did realize that, but like the rest of us he knows how terrible an idea that is and how poorly it was executed.
3.0 is (rather than doing something new) being a twisted retelling of NGE that removes the substance and replaces it with pandering.
>>
>>117309133
Kaworu is an agent of change for Shinji. He builds him up, supports him with love. Then dies and breaks the Shinji. And only a broken Shinji can move forward. He's a painful, but necessary part of the story.
>>
>>117309109
I wasn't talking about char development, you retard. But if YYOU want to go on that route, no, no anime can. Maybe Utena. Lain and Gits are good, but still far from NGE+EoE. Not even logh, since its hard to make a great characterization and development in an epic narrative. You don't even know what you're talking about.

He's not necessary when that's done by any other part.

Just 3.0 in all practicality. Substance is not built with one or two movies, but it can be removed with one or halted entirely. That was 3.0.

>>
>>117309298
A major thing not to look away from is that in the series Misato played a HUGE role for Shinji to develop and the making of his decisions.

In the Rebuilds shes gone from him and instead for Shinji to develop all on his own they stuck to the idea that someone had to influence Shinji, the person they choice was Kaworu.
>>
>>117301550
Have you heard the Good News about Lilith?
>>
>>117309361
Rebuild Shinji took a negative turn in 2.0, he became Gendo, Kaworu was necessary to purged him from his dark path before dying and leaving him to Misato and Asuka.

So you want RahXephon?
>>
>>117309072
>Did you really watch all of 3.0 without realizing that it's pretty much a retelling of the Kaworu eps of NGE?
I've actually been making that point since day one. Even before people started to agree en masse.

But there is an enormous difference between the two that's been quantified earlier in the thread. To repeat it simply, the re-telling of eps 24 is taking place at a point in the story where it does not fit. Hence the timeskip and everything needs to be rushed and located off screen.

The results and execution of this was absolutely dreadful. If we had in NGE a diverse cast of characters that each and one had substance, that is no longer the case because of 3.0. Because it focuses more on changing the original than it does building anything new.

So it's only concerned with making the right comments as opposed to being constructive, meaning that Rebuild is now fully devoting itself to loops, star crossed romance and so on for Kaworu. Without having the substance to back it up. Moreover, redoing ep 24 means they are also not doing anything very new structurally speaking.

This means it's fujoshi pandering at the highest possible level. You'd have to be insecure as hell to ignore that fact.

>>117309074
No, just 3.0.
>>
>>117309569
I don't want waifupandering with shallow one dimensional characters like those, Misato doesn't need to be a love interest, she can just end up with Kaji.

The route of a timeskip with a estranged relationship between them is good too, as long it's fleshed out.
>>
>>117309472
1.0 disregarded just about all character development and world-building to scream through the early parts of the series to set up for 2.0. Which disregarded established canon and started doing its own thing. Not as bad as 1.0, but still the pacing screamed through the plot to shove in as much as possible to get to Zeruel, who would finally start something completely different. 3.0 just carries on that theme of being "something completely different." Was it good? Fuck no. But it's not like it's without precedent.
>>
>>117309568
>Rebuild Shinji took a negative turn in 2.0, he became Gendo, Kaworu was necessary to purged him from his dark path before dying and leaving him to Misato and Asuka.
That's not true. Because it's Kaworu and 3.0 that makes it into a dark path, and only so because it forces a conclusion. This is all done through a timeskip where nothing is actually known. It has no substance or depth, it has no reasoning. It's not believable either.

Kaworu was actually not necessary at the level he was used in the Rebuilds.

If you want to, I would love to talk about their development, but that wasn't my goal in the begining, as you can see.
>What interesting character designs are made in Eva that you are so overly fond of?
Have you ever heard about DSM-V? You can find a mental illness plus depression in almost every NGe character. You can also see how every character has a protruding side of Ego, Id or Superego.

>>117309640
>1.0 disregarded just about all character development and world-building to scream through the early parts of the series to set up for 2.0.
How? It is condensed but does not disregard character development. As the first movie it is thoroughly setting up 2.0 like you say, much like NGE is setting up the next part with it's initial episodes.

>Which disregarded established canon and started doing its own thing.
What canon did it disregard? If Rebuild is it's own thing, then it's not disregarding any canon, given that it's own canon.

>3.0 just carries on that theme of being "something completely different." Was it good? Fuck no. But it's not like it's without precedent.
It is without precedent, yes. There is no earlier point where realism is dropped so hard in NGE as 3.0, and there is a 14 year long timeskip and effectively zero character interaction that doesn't seem contrived for the sake of plot.

Even the previous two movies were better here.

Reifags may have a point, and in the end I think it just comes down to a matter of preference.
But it doesn't matter anyways. The master laughs at all of us. And I fear this war will end in 3+1 with both of us losing.

At least Asuka's character wasn't completely raped by the rebuilds like Rei was. RoE2 wasn't that bad even though they completely skipped over the pinnacle of NGE that is Episode 9.
>>
Would people be upset if 4.0 took the hollywood route and split into two movies, if it meant the first movie would actually bother to setup some proper characterazation for the second movie, so when shit goes down, it actually feels earned?

That's not correct either. The only thing that's true is that the path is metaphorically dark, as in you can't tell what path you're actually on as you're walking.
The difference between the two paths they take is too great - where Shinji believes along with the rest of NERV watching that he's moving to save everyone, he is unbeknownst to everyone being part of someone elses plan.

3.0 could just as easily continue right after that, bring out Rei and Shinji and do a new story, without the path being dark. Being tricked or deceived is very different from what you're suggesting.

That's why 3.0 needs the timeskip, it needs to keep everything in the dark, or else it won't work as common sense will just blow it away immediately. More than it does even now.
>>
>>117309668

>>117309895

Gendo is his shadow, anon. He acted like Gendo, he disregarded the world because he wanted his pillow waifu. He didn't care about the consequences, the scene was thought up as "Shinji acting irresponsible."

Kaworu was the character set up for him to "take responsibility." Rei has always been a negative character in Shinji's character arc, unlike Asuka, Misato or Kaworu. She represents the regressive mother womb that makes him want to be isolated from the world. Misato and Asuka represent more down to earth bonds with Kaworu as the bridge between fantasy and reality.
>>
>>117309785
No, pretty much everyone sans Kaworu fans seem to be on the same line here, that the fujoshi pandering in 3.0 far exceeds anything else in NGE.
It's an established fact that only a Kaworufag would attempt denying.

Don't be that guy.

>>117309910
You saying that doesn't make it true however. Regardless of it being thought up as bad or not, the continuation of it is entirely decided with 3.0. So is the decision to ignore any attempt at making substance over pandering.

Think for yourself instead of taking the path of least resistance. If anything, taking that path is the dark one. If you're not willing to think for yourself, you're just submitting yourself to the fantasy the anime sells you.

Imo that doesn't automatically mean the over all character design in Eva and later works exceeds everything else only because ALL of the characters have some underlying depression affecting their decisions.
Sometimes it is even totally ignored but that could just as easily be cause of bad writing/translations that makes the decisions seem less credible.

That being said, Eva have a very good character design and development but going overly anal because Eva just happened to feature characters affected by their mental issues cause of Anno's own problems is very dickish.

>>
>>117310082
>, the continuation of it is entirely decided with 3.0.

The fallout was always going to be negative, in case you didn't realize. Evangelion is all about Shinji's coming of age and Rei's always portrayed in a negative light for his maturity. That she made Shinji become Gendo Jr. spelled doom for her and for Shinji's future.
>>
>>117310062
>Gendo is his shadow, anon. He acted like Gendo, he disregarded the world because he wanted his pillow waifu. He didn't care about the consequences, the scene was thought up as "Shinji acting irresponsible."

None of that sans the latter is actually truthful.

Rather than taking the reality of the situation, or actually assessing it and trying to understand it, you're mindlessly taking a metaphorical approach that doesn't add up when understood at a rational level.

What you're talking about here is the surface and superficial level of the events, which is that it is trying to represent each character as a negative or positive, regardless of what that character actually is, or was for that matter.

As literary analysis, it's a failure what you're doing. Which is why the only point of view where you are correct, the fantasy perspective.

That has nothing to do with what we're discussing or what we said.

The negative fallout or regression of the characters is a theme or progression in Evangelion (or any other work that seeks to use the potential it sets up), but how it handles that is the key.

You also have to assess the facts of how 3.0 continued it - by pandering and selling what is an immature fantasy. Rei is not always portrayed in a negative light for his maturity, case in point being the original series. What you're saying here is a post-eva interpretation.
>>

Objectively speaking, that's not true. The story could just as easily have continued in a further positive direction, to be subverted by the end or the next movie.

What's true here is that 3.0 is the movie that makes the decision. Being made three years from the ending of 2.0, 2.0 alone does not conclude anything regarding it's continuation.

You can generally boil down 3.0 supporters/critics into three groups:

>Waifufag type 1:
The Kaworufag and the Asukafag. These support 3.0 since it also supports their own waifudom. The pandering in these movies towards them, as well as the elimination of hostile waifufags makes it their movie.

>General Audience
Composed of people who decide to watch Evangelion for no other reason than to watch it. Reception is generally negative, as 3.0 appears to be nothing more than rubbish that doesn't make sense. The general audience cannot connect with 3.0 as they don't have a "hook" into it.
Those that do receive it well are interested in it's aesthetics, and value that over story, characters, plot and meaning.

>Waifufag 2
Reifags especially and other assorted waifufags. Very displeased with the treatment of their favorite characters, they have extra motivation to criticize and will do so.


As it happens, it's easy to criticize 3.0 since it is not a very great movie unless you just consider select parts of it, and you're a huge fan of that part.

How do Rebuild supporters reconcile that it's narrative is successful insofar that it decries waifuism, but also glorifies waifuism through Asuka and Kaworu especially?

As long as it does that, it's narrative cannot be considered successful. So far it means that it has no success beyond catering to select waifu fans, who coincidentally share the same waifu the writers do.

Something tells me you won't be laughing. Rebuild is already complete and utter shit with 3.0. That movie set 3.0+1.0 far, far back in every department except pandering.

I also don't see your logic. Are you assuming 3.0+1.0, a movie not even planned or finalized, would be shit without 3.0 when 3.0 or 3.0+1.0 could be virtually anything?

Stick with reality here. 3.0+1.0 is starting with characters and a setting that is all style and no substance. Whatever 3.0+1.0 does, it would have been better if 3.0 didn't suck.

Not the "same shit", considering that MEMEME doesn't provide much in terms of waifus, as all of them are reduced to nothing by the end, while Rebuild actively constructed a setting where waifus would be eternal.

No it wouldn't. Shinji doesn't smell her in his own LCL, only in Rei's LCL. What does LCL smell like? Water? It's basically Oxygen rich water only far less dense, it probably smells like nothing.
>>
>>117311171
That new animator expo short? The comparison you have falls a bit short since MEMEME doesn't feature waifus or fantasies as intricate or commercial as Rebuild does.
"MEMEME" is a short that takes the "waifus" and by the end removes them entirely, whereas Rebuild only removes at most one (Rei).

The rest it actively sets up as premium-tier waifus, and actually constructs a setting which is theoretically indestructible in the imagination due to how it deals with loops now. It lets the viewer imagine a good outcome in the next world, and has the plot hinge on that.

In short, Rebuild does not actually provide the negative commentary that MEMEME potentially does.

>>117311205

>I'm saying that 3.0 is set to leave out enough information to make everything come together in 4.0, it's a pure filler episode (in this case a movie.

Have you ever considered how realistic it is to be able to cram the necessary bits into one movie?

3.0 doesn't just leave out information, it creates a gap so great that it cannot possibly be filled without creating enormous amounts of extra material. This is also just purely worldbuilding, because extra OVA's and what not can't actually make the Rebuild characters not suck.

Because it spent more time pandering to "fujoshi" and Kaworu fans than anything else, there's no way 3.0+1.0 can repair everything. The characters involved will never be anything more than pandering devices, even after 3.0+1.0.

Regardless of how it concludes, that's the only guarantee you'll have.

>In short, Rebuild does not actually provide the negative commentary that MEMEME potentially does.
You're right, I take it back. I was over simplifying and meant to say that the new short conveys a shortened negative commentary on NEET life/waifuism/ otaku extremism.

I actually liked how Shinji and Asuka's characters were portrayed in Rebuild, but that's nearly the only thing about the rebuilds I like. That whole shitfest with Wunder was cringeworthy. Regardless, I think both Rebuild and MEMEME are, at their core, about Anno trying to push his message across about accepting life for what it is and dealing with it and try to enjoy it but without totally escaping into fantasy (as shown in MEMEME) because it will only lead to depression.

But Rebuild doesn't represent that. It's actually telling you that you can devote your life to mindlessly following an anime fantasy and engage in rampant consumerism with whatever time you have left.

The caveat being, as long as you have the same waifus and fantasies as Anno.

>>117312208
>3.0 was more about Shinji finding someone who loves him in a situation where no one else wants to love him, then having that person die so he's back to square one with Asuka and that albino girl Anno threw in.

It's not. Because 3.0 already presupposes that Kaworu loves him, this being the case (for fujoshi and fans) since 1.0. Meaning Shinji does not find that person, that person has already found him and is merely waiting for 3.0 is to ruin everything else.

The simplest and most accurate way of describing 3.0, is that it's pandering to fujoshi and destroying anything that stands in the way of that.
>>

Here's something that has ALWAYS bothered me about 3.0.

Like I said, it's all speculation, but Anno's messages pertaining to Evangelion deal in part, not wholly, with coming to terms with yourself and society around you.

In addition to 3.0 being poorly constructed, maybe he wanted to be a big faggot indirectly and imply that his views that he proselytizes are what should be adhered to, though more subtly.

Again, just speculation and I doubt that's what he's ultimately going for.

Yes, but this does not fit well with:
>In addition to 3.0 being poorly constructed, maybe he wanted to be a big faggot indirectly and imply that his views that he proselytizes are what should be adhered to, though more subtly.

since he would effectively be bullying people to convert, without arguing for his views.

It's better to have someone who's been through the same things so you can lick each other's wounds. Rei is an empty shell who has no desire to live.
>>
>>117312742
Isn't Shinji also an empty shell without any will to live?

Rei and Shinji both share the same "father" so to speak, and are both quite lonely and hurt individuals. They lick the wounds of the other quite often in the series.

Ramiel and Sahaquiel turn into blood without exploding. Kaworu doesn't explode into a cross in NGE either.

Crucifix explosions are only used whether the drama calls for them or not. Like Anno said, they're there to look cool.

It is supposed to be a generalization for quick consumption. Says so right there. You're getting butthurt because it's accurate.

>>117312795
So do Asuka and Shinji for that matter in NGE and EoE. Especially towards the end of NGE when Asuka gets even more depressing than the Shinj. She just doesn't want to empathize with him because they are "rivals."

At the end of 3 I think Asuka is holding herself together by being leader for Shinji, who is in a similar state as Rei. I don't know why Rei decided to follow them considering she has no good memories of them. Rei Q is not the same Rei of 1 or 2. She is more of a robot that only followers orders.

>>117312663
Chances are you are only disappointed because of hindsight and interaction with the community that hates it. If you at all liked the piano scenes, ignoring how you actually got there, is a strong indicator for that.

Are there any non fujoshit blogs on Tumblr worth following?

I just made one and it looks like every Evangelion related blog is run by a brainless yaoitard. Is there a decent Eva blog in this hellhole? Anything?
>>
why is that self-absorbed cunt smiling
>>
>>117313084
I was thinking more of NGE.

Rebuild is absolute garbage, and Asuka is a joke, Shinji is a joke, and Rei is a joke.
That Asuka is a "leader" is pandering to Asukafags.
That Rei is a mindless robot or at all present is just to slander the Rei character.

Shinji is just a prize to be manhandled in Rebuild. There is no substance. Only Anno preaching waifu wars.
Don't take Rebuild serious at any level.

It's not that it's particularly hatable, it's that it's so obviously pandering to Kaworu fans who ship the two.

Let's be reasonable here. Let's be down to earth. Why on earth a piano, why on earth that particular stage with the tree? It's impossible to take seriously.
We just rocked heaven and earth in the story, threw away everything and killed people off screen, and for what? To get to the piano?

Of all the things in the world, of all the plot devices in the world, it was the one where you could make a shippy scenario for the two of them. Maybe you aren't perceptive, but I at least could see everything in 3.0 a mile away from just seeing the first ten minutes.

I could do that by assuming that Anno would do everything in his might to change Rebuild into a scenario that pandered Kawoshin. After those first ten minutes, nothing surprised me. Not one thing.
>>
>>117313203
I loved how Rei q's entire development was Asuka talking to her once after she saw the big Rei head. So naturally that leads her to follow Asuka around. It must be depressing being Rei
>>
>>117313794
It's the equivalent of an Asukafag power fantasy. She gets to boss Rei around as a mindless doll that doesn't challenge her or pose a threat like the real Rei does.
>>
>>117313203
Well Shinji is still empathetic for humanity as a whole by the EoEoE, at least enough to let people choose their own fate. Rei just did what Shinji wanted because he's her new Gendo. Asuka chose the hard life independently from the both of them. Shinji chose the hard life too. Rei's purpose was fulfilled and her body dissolved.

Rei was not empty, she always had a reason for her actions, but in Rebuild 3 she loses that reason.
Asuka had purpose but slowly lost it, until the end. In the Rebuilds she almost always has a reason for doing things.
Shinji spends all his time trying to find his purpose, briefly having one losing it, finding another, in NGE. He's at the 'lost it' stage in rebuild 3.

It's like Asuka and Rei switch internal drives between NGE and Rebuild. But rebuild is more character based which is why it easily falls into waifu war territory.

>Well Shinji is still empathetic for humanity as a whole by the EoEoE, at least enough to let people choose their own fate. Rei just did what Shinji wanted because he's her new Gendo.
Not quite true. Rei is part of letting the people choose. Truth is that Rei isn't enabling Shinji to go through with instrumentality. In EoE, instrumentality is happening whether or not they like it seemingly. The MP Eva's are already using Lilith's copy (EVA01) and Shinji to go through with it.
What Rei does is to assume control and let Shinji have a choice, along with the rest of humanity. Not because she's her new Gendo, that's just downplaying it.

Asuka choosing any hard life isn't really true. She chose death in the series, but was saved and put in the hospital. Then she was again saved by her mother in EVA02, and again saved by Rei and Shinji with instrumentality that gave her another chance. It's not independent.

> but in Rebuild 3 she loses that reason.
That's not right either, as Rei still has reason, only she is trapped inside EVA01 and can't do anything. Rei "Q" isn't Rei, and doesn't have any reason whatsoever, and therefore never lost any reason.

Asuka and Rei "switch position" for the sake of making Asuka a more popular character (>>117296381). Because as it is, it's not adding to her character in context with Rebuild, it's just providing a heroine with no faults. Rei is like some point out, demonized without reason.

Rebuild IS waifu wars incarnate.
>>
So you guys and your waifu wars.

Do you do it with the intention of who is winning the Shinji, or just which girl you like better?

Cause no one wins the Shinji.

The concepts of shipping and pandering don't enter my head when I watch anime. That sort of thing comes from not taking it seriously as a piece of media and simply mining it for how relevant you can make yourself sound once you hit the threads on /a/.

I like the heaven rocking bits of Eva but I also like the other parts that lead to and from those. The playful scenes and the quiet ones that exist outside of where the story usually takes place in. You seem to want to a linear progression of tension and release, I don't know why you expected that if you're at all familiar with the series.

Nor does it for me normally or initially, I watch it with the hopes that they will not enter. But with Rebuild, that is the only thing there is.

Because Rebuild 3.0 rocks heaven and earth here, meaning that it abandons all forms of narrative logic or attempt to create good characters or a working setting, you can no longer treat Rebuild as a working story. With 3.0, it abandoned both the logos and pathos that a story has.

What's left is what you presumably and everyone else that tries to take it seriously would refer to as a purely metaphorical meta story. In that case, you cannot avoid bringing in shipping and pandering because that is quite literally the meta portion it is addressing.

Moreover, even if it was the case that Rebuild could be taken seriously (it can't any more), if you can't recognize pandering or shipping scenes when you see it, then you have an extremely low understanding of anime, fiction, Evangelion and not to mention Hideaki Anno.

>You seem to want to a linear progression of tension and release, I don't know why you expected that if you're at all familiar with the series.
You're making assumptions that don't matter, and for the record, I wasn't expecting that. Read my earlier post - ten minutes in, nothing surprised me for the remainder of the movie.

Forgetting the bit about shipping, or pandering, the fact that every pot movement is extremely contrived and convenient is alone a bad enough thing here.
