How can people not think Rei is best girl after this scene?

Biologically she's his mom, thematically his sister, and also a Great Old One forced into human shape. It's just win, win, win, best of all worlds.

>>124569669
>Biologically she's his mom
ist she half mom half angel? that would make her biologically a sister as well

>>124569042
I think the best part of EoE was when she asserted her humanity and fucked Gendo over.
The development with the glasses was a nice touch too, though it's unclear if Rei II would have gone through with helping Shinji if she had lived.

Better question, will Mari go back to being the badass psycho she was in 2.0 before Anno had her following Asuka around like she was her pet?

So what is Rei?
What is inside her?
Why do i love her.

>>124570205
She isn't really shown to have nonhuman genes, that's presumed from her colors. For all we're shown she could be physically human but poorly copied.

There is allure in a gentle girl, and there is allure in a brash, aggressive girl. Liking either one is understandable, and both girls hide themselves away by different means.

>>124570401
A big part of this was how Rei was unhappy with Gendo for bringing her back to life in her third body, despite knowing that it would happen if need be.

Had her second body not died, she would have no reason to go against Gendo unless one makes up some contrived reason to fit in its place and put Rei at odds with Gendo.

>>124581297
So this long winded essay is supposed to convince me that 3.0 was good? Come off it, already. There's nothing deep or special about it and Anno's frustrations with the fanbase regarding his work.

If he has a problem with how viewers interpret his work (whether they wind up seeing what he meant to achieve or not) then he just needs to stop creating, period. He failed in having Rei come off as a "creepy" girl. He failed in his so called message to otaku that they need to go outside and have relationships with others and behave like respectable people.

If 3.0 is supposed to be a big "fuck you" to the audience (ironically their purchases still filling his bank account) and I'm supposed to interpret it as "fuck you, you didn't understand what I was trying to say with this piece", then he isn't a very good communicator then is he? His attitude is very childish - just as childish as the otaku and the NEETS and the hikikomori that he berates who claim that no one understands them.

Funny.

>character archetype named for your waifu

Go back to reddit and tvtropes faggot. It's kuudere, or possibly dandere

>>124582746
Nah. At least with 2.0 you have a general idea as to what is going on. The only question you really have is "What's going to happen to Shinji?" or maybe something about the impact.
3.0 has the 3 protagonists walking into the desert together, alone, without a way to contact their home. I dunno, I find that to be more of a "oooo what happens next" than 2.0.

>>124582746
2.0 was at least assuring of where the characters ended up by the end of it, other than Asuka.
3.0 ends on a way more uncertain note.

Asuka a bitch and worst pilot

Rei die in explosion of sacrifice
Asuka die in meaningless wasted effort and eaten by maggots

When shinji return from tang he see bitch and is "hell naw" and strangle away to fix

>>124582832
Also even though 2.0 diverges quite significantly from NGE towards the end, you still left with the notion that it might still stick vaguely close to the series.

3.0 is such a huge departure from NGE that you're left with literally no idea where things will go next.

>>124582919

pedos are ether sexually attracted to underage bodies, or enjoy abusing the power they have over the younger person, misato falls under nether of these categories, so she is not a pedo, she was merely motivating him with a drastic but meaningful action proving how much she cared about him.

>>124584044
She singlehandedly created and popularized the kuudere trope. Unlike Asuka who didn't bring anything new but being a shitty Kushina rehash.

>>124579242
its implied she had sex with many other guys just to feel needed after she left kaji, but thats fine with me.

Asuka is less shit

>>124583847
>Kuudere are Rei
But they are not. Kuuderes are usually some girls that don't want to show emotions because they prefer when people see them as cold. I guess you meant danderes that are similiar to Rei. Also it's caused by the fact that dandere is much more specific term and there is less freedom in character creation.
Also people who like tsunderes doesn't necessary like when girls are bitches.

>>124580238
How can you claim to love Rei is you don't have her on a BMX doing tricks?

..because that's an old photo.
That or it couldn't fit in that shot. I forget.

Tsundere is the japanese word for bitch and the rest of your point is nonsense.

Do you guys think Shinji ever came while he was berserking? At least a little bit?

>>124587196
I'm not, but the dedication is noted, whoever that individual is.

All the 1:1s in that line seem to lack detail though, maybe it's just me.

What is a good mecha anime? I am pleb

>>124587313
Actually, I think it's just the lighting. Since I've had a 1:1 Asuka bookmarked for a while and she looks pretty good to me.

Is that a bulge I spy?

>>124575259
Misato is my favorite character.
But Asuka has my heart.

>>124579777
Because she wants him to be her bitch.
>>124581163
>>124582420
She wants neither.
>>124582453
She's 13.

Did you recognize it?

>>124587762
I recognize that dank meme you just spat at me.
Seriously though, does that 1:1 have a bulge?

>>124582497
Yea, if you're a slut I guess

Why is Rei a vegetarian? Does it has something to do with her Lilith side?

>>124587843
Because Anno's the exact type of fruity fuck who inserts his effeminate dietary habits into characters.

>>124584048
>drastic but meaningful action
you mean fanservice


I-I'm s-sorry, had to go there

Most Kaworu figures have one, no matter the size.

>>124587890
Seriously? That's the actual explanation? I was thinking it could maybe be because Lilith respects the lives of all living beings on earth.

>>124584048
That's not what a pedophile is you dumb American.
>>124587843
She probably can't process it, she's a crap copy.

>>124588127
From what I remember, yes.
