What is the significance of the toast?
It goes well with water.
It's a phallic symbol.
Rei confirmed for penis envy.
>>123372053
shinji's about to become a motherfucker
It symbolizes a slice of life
she's late
>>123372173
I'm clapping.
The toast represents the character's heart.
Toast with jam represents a muddled passion.
>>123372173
God damn
>>123372053
you are now area that she has a large disfigured open mouth rather than a toast in her mouth
She's so late she's eating the minimum standard of breakfast at a full run on the way to school. It's the essence of moe, a character with no ability to take care of themselves at all.
>>123372173
fucking nice
>>123372053
But srs. It's just an accessory to the classic "school comedy/school romantic comedy" character they are portraying her as just then. Just an ordinary girl, late to school, grabs the toast running out the door, and in her haste, runs into shinji, and you know, reacts like a typical Japanese school girl of her age, down to freaking out over whether he saw her panties.
It's also funny because the character we saw is wildly different from the flat affect Rei we know. The rollicking, AWW SHUCKS country music also signals that as a comedic scene.
I.E. "That's the joke".
It's supposed to be funny asshole.
>>123372206
Stop right there criminal scum!
Running with toast was made popular with Sailor Moon. NGE has a lot of ties to Sailor Moon. For example: Rei was named after after Sailor Mars, Misato was the voice of Sailor Moon, etc.

They're portraying Rei as a ditzy teenage girl, same with her 'moe' behavior and dumb lines.
She has toast in her mouth because she's a dumb kid who woke up late and didn't have time to eat.

Toast isn't a type of bread.

Well,"...to dream of toast suggests that you are considering (or already involved in) a romantic situation which could cause you serious embarrassment – think twice about what you’re up to." But she is running with the toast, so she is gonna find her true love or something?

The bread symbolises the bread Jesus Christ gave to his disciples saying "This is my body." And Jesus is life and holiness even though he died for our sins, thus bread = life

You know, even though most people are just replying for the sake of being part of the hype of this, your post is practically religious in its insight. I feel so free.

WHat is so great about this?
>>123441703
That it seems so obvious, but so many of us never even considered it.
>>123441703
Many shitty SoL anime have people running with toast in their mouths and bread has, since ancient times, kept man alive.
>>123435442
Show me proof from the archives, fool. You probably started lurking in 2012.
>>123441844
Sort of like puns, everybody hates them because it's like "why didn't I think of that?"
>>123372173
This is going to be one of those super epic posts.
>>123372173
Do you guys really need to reply to this?

What a great post. I'm going to reply to it even though I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said in one of these replies. I can't wait to see my post in one of those funny screencaps of monumental events.

If NGE is so great, why hasn't it had a proper subgroup (re)release?
Namely
>Getting rid of the awful yellowsubs
>Third, objectively optimal audio track which is Japanese 99% of the time, the exception being that it switches to the flawless german in the English track whenever asuka speaks auf Deutsch
2D4U is the most popular and canonical release as of late, and still has these flaws.

just wait until the BD drops

This is what happens when you try to force an epik screencap thread.

It's been done before faggots. Are all of you newfags or something?
>>123443174
Presentation means everything, faggot
>>123443174
One-liners like this rely 100% on delivery
>>123443174
The impact lies in the delivery, Anon. Can you really say that it's been done before when the content is so different between the two posts?
>>123372173
I'm late to the party, but I don't care.
>>123372173
>>123443174
Did you look through the archives just to be a contrarian?
>>123372173
Whelp, that's another generic thread ruined.

>>123443474
>>123443441
Are you retarded? The same parallel had been drawn in a previous post, sure. This is the first exposure a lot of the participants have had to it though, and the context and delivery are clearly quite different. It's less of a matter of not lurking enough and more of a matter of recognising the poignancy of the post.
