but we had a pretty good ending with EoE. just ignore the rebuilds and nge is fine

It's perfect. To change anything would ruin it. We saw this happen with the rebuilds. Just listen to >>145379207 and all is fine.

>>145378642
You know, it's people like you expressing their opinions in focus groups that lets us have all these bland predictable as fuck movies, tv-series and mongolian puppet theatres that swamp the market today.
You look at NGE and you think your changes would "fix" it?
Please kill yourself.

waiiiiiiiit isnt rebuilds just a remake of the original? with a few small differences? i was just about to watch them

>>145379588

>small differences

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THOSE DIFFERENCES RUINED IT

>>145379496
Nah, the ending was too complicated for my taste. Also there's no romance in the show apart from Misako and that dude with ponytail.
Also I think the show would benefit from a few filler episodes like Shinji, Rei and Asuka going to the beach.

>>145379588
The first rebuild is a remake with minor pointless changes that just serve to annoy you. The second one is a partial remake that goes off the rails with stupid fanservice and a horrible ending that brain-dead retards here like because it's "hype". The third one is an entirely new story. The fourth one is a myth.

>hetshit ending
No, thanks.

After defeating the Evangelion, Shinji declares his love for Asuka since their first kiss early on the series. Later Gendo tells him how proud he is and that his mother would be happy. He also reveals he and Misato are seeing each other in other to provide Shinji with a normal family. They all move together and when Shinji goes back to school next summer he's welcomed by all of his friends: Hikari, who's dating Toji, Kensuke and Rei. The final episode will be all of them enjoying a nice day at the beach.

>>145381008
You make me want to rummage up my old eva fanfics I wrote when I was a teen.

>>145378642
I would make Asuka die from the choking at the end and make Rei get back her body and memories of I, II and Rei III back so she could go back home with Shinji while holding hands. Rei II knew she was in love with him but she got killed by Angel before she could confess.

>>145378642

Unironically shoot yourself. Weakest bait in centuries.

>>145381365
That's a nice idea but killing a character is a no-no. Why not turn in to a harem and make Rei and Asuka fight for Shinji's love instead!?

>>145378642
Go to the tallest building in your town, climb to the rooftop, and jump. You are a faggot.

>>145379207
EoE is a retcon.

>>145381472
Because she is a bitch, harems are shit and rei is best girl. Asuka could reunite with her dead mother or something in afterworld or in between. She can't handle real life anyway.

Eva didn't have a sad ending you dull cunt.

>>145381479
>EoE is a retcon
Nah, EoE was the original planned ending, the TV ending was an emergency measure that Anno wasn't even sure he wanted to do.

>>145378642
I'd drop the whole instrumentality schlock. It was a pretty neat notion in high school, but Shinji should just grow up and become a responsible adult

>>145378642
>Generic piece of shit of an ending
I'm happy the way evangelion ends.

>>145381693
There is nothing manly in enjoying getting abused and dominated. Real men chooses Rei because her know he can handle relationship with a girl who doesn't intact with you just because, but needs you to make moves, push relationship forward and make sure she feels comfortable, safe and loved.
Asuka is easy modo, she interacts and talks with you without any real reason, she says out loud what she thinks and how she feels, you don't even need to move relationship forward because she does it for you, just like she kissed shinji. She also panders to masochists and other pathetic betas.
Liking fictional girls is for betas anyway, but asuka is for more pathetic ones. Rei requires from you to be a least a little of the man.

>>145382398
Nope. Asuka is easier to handle.
Real man choose rei because they don't need to be dominated and can lead in relationship.
You can protect asuka but majority of her fans only talk about her body and usually ignore her personality.

>>145383013
This looks shopped.

>>145383013
Rei does snap, like when she slapped shinji when he was acting like a faggot.
However, Asuka doesn't do that, she only talks big but in fact is weak and break down when something doesn't goes well.

>>145381008

Remove the rebuilds from existence

I'd probably remove Asuka all together. Or at least make it so she realizes her own faults by the end. I would also have more development to Rei, since she really had nothing about her besides 'I love Ikari' and 'I'm a blind tool for Instrumentality'.

I'd also have Misato come back instead of Asuka since Shinji clearly liked and relied on her more. But sadly, that would also require more development beforehand.

The biggest problem with Eva as a whole is the focus on isolation and avoiding others. But since this was the central theme, it can't really be fixed. Fixing it would create an entirely new story.

>>145390095
how is the theme itself a problem?

>>145378642
Thats disgusting, you shipper. Asuka is a cunt who does not deserve Shinji.

>>145390095
Rei had far more to her than you imply.

>>145390403

Character development usually relies on characters interacting. By having the main theme of the show being the opposite, it creates unique problems.

Eva still obviously had character development. But most of it was implied or deflection. And by the end of the show, you had entire episodes devoted to characters looking into empty rooms and lamenting what they didn't do.

Like this

Before misato died , did she say she'd fuck Shiji if he was victorious?

>>145390621

Like what? I just rewatched the show last week. She has two episodes where she's the focus, but most of it just comes down to her memories of Ikari and smiling at Shinji. Then almost 15 episodes go by where Asuka is the focus and she does little more than get interrupted every time she talks and told to be the backup in every battle. Then even in Rei III, she isn't the focus of the episode and dies a pointless death.

After that, about all there is to Rei is being told to start instrumentality. Then going against Gendo and joining with Lilith to lead to another pointless death.

Asuka was a mistake.

>>145390714
She did.

>>145381781
You're wrong.The only scheduling issues were with episode 25. Episode 26 was always meant to be as originally aired. Anno has said this several times in interviews, including pretty recent ones.

The show still has a shitload of character interaction. The point isn't just that everyone is avoiding each other, the theme is more focused on the problems caused by the dissonance of wanting to connect with people but also fearing the pain that might come due to that connection.

"
Hayashibara: So everyone is thinking the TV series didn't end there.

Anno: Mm.

Hayashibara: So...

Anno: At present, it won't be in the form of an OVA. Um, with regard to episodes 25 and 26, they will be - how would you say it - coupled, or we plan to have both [versions] released together. So the version based on the original scenario is going to be made after this, and that together with the on-air version, these two together will comprise the episode 25 and episode 26 [release]. That's the form I expect it to take.

Hayashibara: So there will be two episode 25s.

Anno: Right, it will be a multi-ending.

Hayashibara: So, a dual... ah, a multi-ending. After episode 24 the endings will diverge.

Anno: Right.

Hayashibara: There will be two of them.

Anno: There will be two of them.

Hayashibara: Ah, two endings.

Anno: Yes.

Hayashibara: But it's a kind of - it's strange to say paradox - [<this part a bit unclear>]?

Anno: Right.

Hayashibara: In terms of gaming - is it called a simulation game? What do you call it? The ending for that particular self changes as you go on through the game.

Anno: Right, a multi-ending game.

(cont)

>>145391571

Hayashibara: You took this road so you went here. You took this road so you went here. The ending changes. That's how it goes.

Anno: Um. Evangelion is my live performance. Since I create it with this sense of it being live, what I'm thinking now, what I'm feeling now, my current mood, all this gets transferred onto film - that was the initial theme, or the theme I had in my mind.

Hayashibara: Right.

Anno: The idea was to do it as honestly as I could. Well, among other things, you have general opinion, you have the opinions of other people, things you have to do, things you can't do... um...

Hayashibara: Limitations?

Anno: Right. these limits, but then I create according to my own ethics. In short, the initial [idea] was to purge everything not part of myself.

Hayashibara: Ha ha ha.

Anno: The final episode ended up being that way on television, and, well, with it [Evangelion] ended once, but I'll be remaking it once more. Ah, it's strange to say remaking, because I'll be going back to the initially completed scenario, but when I actually do it, I imagine I'll probably have rewritten the scenario as it is now, but my current feelings will be reflected [in it]. So, since those will be my feelings after two or three months have passed, I wonder how things will turn out when I sit down to think about Evangelion's ending. What will happen? So that [version] will also be included when the video is released.

Hayashibara: Are your feelings something that change that suddenly? Or maybe they are, for Anno-san.

Anno: Um.

Hayashibara: Isn't what is really there something that doesn't change?

Anno: Probably that [something] doesn't change. But what I'm thinking, what I want to see, what I'm thinking about, I think that these things change.

Hayashibara: Ah, I see. And then probably the methodology changes.

Anno: Right, right.

>>145391625
Hayashibara: For example, this is a simple example, but take an apple, you describe it, for example, as "delicious," as "red," as "ripe," with various, there are various ways of describing one thing.

Anno: Right, the angle changes.

Hayashibara: Even if ultimately you want to say "apple." When the way you say it, or the method you use to express it, or the way you convey it changes, it becomes something different for the recipient.

Anno: Hmm. Well, in regards to the TV versions of episodes 25 and 26 - how do I put it? Hmm. Well, it's easiest to just say there are a number of different factors.

Hayashibara: Ah, there are. So you feel you want to pour that "live self" within you into the video version.

Anno: Right, doing it again, if I can do it after some time has passed, then my feelings at that time will probably be represented in the new versions of episodes 25 and 26. Only, I have no desire to repudiate what is there now, because that represents my present feelings.

>>145390957
http://1731298478.tumblr.com/post/63536630801/anno-making-the-last-two-episodes-it-felt-like

Anno: [Making the last two episodes] it felt like my brain kept on producing all these chemicals. When I saw episode 25 after first putting it together, I thought, “I’m a genius.” However, when I re-edited and re-watched it afterwards, I was crushed. It was no good at all. I was embarrassed my lack of ability. I apologize to the staff.

Takekuma: Well, but, the last scene in the final episode was quite something, where the screen cracks and everyone is applauding and congratulating the main character. Watching that, I felt like I was going crazy. It was like, how far are you going with this…?

Anno: Well, there were a lot of things I was thinking about there. The biggest reason [for that scene], I have no intention of revealing. The heart of it, I won’t tell anyone. The most crucial part of the reason why I made episode 26 like that - I still haven’t revealed that anywhere, including in [this magazine,] Quick Japan. That part at least, I won’t tell anyone.

Oizumi: You mean, some personal, formative experience you can’t tell anyone?

Anno: Something a bit more ideological. In these interviews for Quick Japan, we’ve only gone about as far as the inner moat [of the castle]… Well, that part, I’ll be taking to my grave.

(From “Epilogue” / Parano)

>>145391789
Sadamoto: (Kotono Mistuishi) cried reading a script, for example. When Anno-san heard that - guts pose! (laughing)

Masayuki: What episode was that?

Sadamoto: 25.

Takekuma: Misato’s voice actress cried reading the script?

Sadamoto: So Anno did a guts pose. The supervisor of the manga also cried [reading it], and when Anno heard that, he did another guts pose (laughing). He was victorious, because two members of society had been reduced to tears. However, after it was finished, people told him various things, and he went into a state of collapse. What happened to the guts pose? (laughing)

Masayuki: When he was making episode 25 he was saying, “I’m a genius.” Then after it had broadcast, he came out of his room looking dazed. “Why did I make such a strange thing?” (laughing)

Sato: The last episode was the same, wasn’t it?

Masayuki: Well, he didn’t say anything about the last episode. Just with episode 25, he seemed to be extremely pleased with it. Then when he saw the broadcast, it was like, “I’m an idiot…” (laughing)

Sato: Afterwards he was looking at the reactions on message boards from a distance (laughing). Although he was saying he was going to ignore them, he was still looking out of the corner of his eye at the monitor. “I’m probably not going to look….” he said. “Right, I’m not going to look.”

Sadamoto: But I thought that the final two episodes were fine. I thought it was simply a matter of the connecting episode between episodes 24 and 25 being missing. That’s why we’re doing the original episode 25 (the remake version) now. I think it’s just that that episode was missing. I saw the initial script. If the original episode 25 had been there, then there would have been a clear link leading up to the television versions of episodes 25 and 26. Just one episode was missing. So I thought [the ending] was fine.

Masayuki: We know that because we’re the people who worked on [the series].

>>145391898
Sadamoto: So in my mind there’s a clear link [bridging episode 24 and 25]. But the ordinary viewers, although they wanted to see the continuation of episode 24, it was omitted. So, they got mad at it.

Oizumi: That’s completely right.

Sadamoto: They couldn’t see the relationship [between 24 and 25].

Tsurumaki: Well, it’s because the original episode 25 script was completed [but not used].

Sadamoto: Because I’ve seen [that script], I thought, [watching the ending], well, even this much is fine.

None of this suggests that EoE was a retcon or that Episode 26 was made how he originally planned it. It's a bunch of non-answers and vague theory and craft stuff, like it always is. And even if Anno's opinion on how the ending of the series should be changed in between the finale of NGE and EoE, I still fail to see how that makes EoE illegitimate. The show went through a shitload of changes throughout.

I mean, that's my shit if done well.

I think that's just a matter of personal preference, not a concrete flaw of the show

Both endings are legitimate, why are you people so obsessed with the idea of enclosing a story into a single format or make it "closed"

All of it is content created by the same people at the same time

>>145392060
There are other interviews in which he literally says that unlike episode 25, episode 26 aired as he intended it to be. I just can't find them at the moment since it never occured to me to bookmark them or save them offline.

There are even more interviews where he actively defends the end of the TV series and says he is pleased with it. The only part with significant issues is episode 25, and even in these quotations, you can see that the executive meddling didn't do him much good messing up his schedule there.

25 is almost a recap, except a thematical recap rather than a plot recap. 26 though is pure new content and can't really be chalked to budget issues or Anno rushing the deadline. 26 is much better than 25.

>>145392637
>There are even more interviews where he actively defends the end of the TV series and says he is pleased with it.
I know Tsurumaki has said things like this in some interviews, but I've never heard Anno do the same.

I have to agree with this >>145392631 anon, there's really no reason to debate over which ending is legitimate.

>>145378642

Like everything you just glossed over. Rei's relationship with Shinji is indeed part of the character, but you've clearly missed out on Rei's struggle to identify what or who she really is, which arguably makes up the majority of the character.

The deaths are anything BUT pointless, as they serve as a kick in Rei's ass and actually furthers her character. Practically speaking, Rei dying at this point literally saved everyone else, even herself in some twisted way.

Then finally she doesn't "die", she gets to go and be what she wants to be, she's essentially godlike by the end of the series. Did you not see the giant angelic being above the world, did you not notice how Rei's otherwordly presence goes back to episode one, right to the end?

Especially "the blind tool for instrumentality" is stupid since Rei is nearly the only character reflecting on the issue or guiding another (Shinji) about it.

Stop lying to my face anon. You're clearly retarded or out to be an edgy cunt. No wonder your opinion on the rest of Eva is so bad when you're this crucially misinformed.

>>145392631

Eva had untold popularity. And with that comes unrealistic expectations. The most hardcore fans are also the most judgemental.

What's honestly the most amazing thing Eva did as a series was create the two biggest waifus in history. Then make them go crazy and die. Yet the fanbase still loved the girls and the show. Imagine if any other show, from Love Hina to Haruhi, had done such a thing. The fanbase would have screamed bloody murder and the show would have been forgotten. But Eva persists.

Which is really only based on two very subtle events.

>but you've clearly missed out on Rei's struggle to identify what or who she really is, which arguably makes up the majority of the character.
All the main characters have this same struggle. Its the overall theme of the show. So it doesn't really help Rei stand out when Asuka, Shinji and Misato are also struggling to find who they are. And have similar monologues.

>Not wanting a slice of life EVA with Asuka and Shinji's daughter bullying Shinji

I live off Shinji's misery.

>>145393073

She wanted to have sex with him because its how she gets over her own pain. Its not so much that she was sexually attracted to Shinji as much as she wanted to help ease his pain. But, as is one of the major points of the show, every character has different issues. And while sex helps Misato, it wouldn't help Shinji. Which leads to another issue of the show. No one understands what the other character needs.

it ends with a world resets with shinji and a fourteen year old misato

>>145393076
>Which is really only based on two very subtle events.
Their actual, on-screen visual interaction is not subtle. There may be subtle things about it, however, the relationships themselves are not.

>All the main characters have this same struggle. Its the overall theme of the show. So it doesn't really help Rei stand out when Asuka, Shinji and Misato are also struggling to find who they are. And have similar monologues.

They do in fact not have similar monologues. In fact, Rei owns the only monologue in the entire anime - the rest are always interfered with by a third part, a questioner or an interviewer. Not in Rei's case. Keep in mind there's a difference between a long train of thought and a monologue, and an interview as is the case when Shinji speaks with an Angel or similar.

So while everyone "in some way" are trying to find out who they are, this is only far more obvious and clear for Rei's case as she is being quite literal about the question, asking it directly and because she unlike everyone else, has a greater need and reason to know. With the rest, it's a question about identity, but for Rei it is also a question of biological heritage and her spiritual existence.

So it's the other way around, it doesn't help Asuka, Misato or the rest that they all have lesser versions of the same theme as Rei. Not only that. Rei is the only one who actually proves ot the viewer that she has a firmer grasp on herself than the rest does. There is a reason why Rei is the character that objectively stood the most out when NGE was introduced.

Some do, doesn't mean that I do. However, some throw around just what you wrote whenever they get blown the fuck out and need to retreat into their own subjective safe space.

History tells us for a fact that Rei Ayanami was the de facto most popular, wanted and stand-out character in the entire '95 series.

Now you may hate that fact because you're a fantard otaku (fan of another character) or because it doesn't help your argument, but it's the truth and nothing but the truth.

This was, and still is a stand-out character and denying that just proves your clearly insane or delusional. Otherwise I don't see how you can claim that one of the most popular characters in anime "don't stand out".

>>145393587
That's because he doesn't think Misato's advances are genuine and he believes Kaworu's are.

>>145393718
I don't agree with the anon you replied to. Rei is definitely an interesting and stand out character. That goes for many of the other characters in the show as well. I just don't approve of your abuse of the English language.

>>145393675
>He doesn't like the cute mystery girl that's secretly central to the plot.
Eww

>>145393587

Kaworu actively tries to ask Shinji how he is feeling and shows interest in him. Which is something no other character does. Misato comes the closestto it, but does it in a sarcastic manner that Shinji finds annoying. Because like the others, Misato is afraid to open up to others.

Basically, Kaworu gives Shinji exactly what he needs. But then uses Shinji like all the others. While I don't really like the way it was handled, it is somewhat understandable why Shinji snapped. He thought he finally found one person in the world who cared. But then even that one guy betrayed him. In retrospect, Misato never opened up. Asuka was a bitch to the end. Rei was distant and cold, despite liking Shinji. And Gendo was using Shinji from the start.

Shinji really had nothing. Now, you could argue that Shinji should have gotten over his issues and just opened up to others. But then, as I said way earlier, that would change the entire show. Since it would mean Shinji had a strong will from the start. And even episode 1 and 2 would have been drastically different.

What objective standpoint did you use? All of your points are opinions, and to be clear, they aren't bad opinions at all, you offer good justification for why you think that way with concrete evidence from the show. But that doesn't make those opinions into objective facts, it just makes them well reasoned opinions. Someone could still legitimately argue in a different direction.

>>145395573
Absolutely not. Kaworu is a treacherous bastard, and the only reason he's smitten is because he's turbo-vulnerable due to having lost everyone else.

>>145395723
Everything you said was weak-ass bullshit.

When considering the case from an objective standpoint, the numerous polls, citations and whatnot from people in the industry serve as objective proof that Rei is on the objective level, a stand out character.

The problem here is that you won't accept reality and then retreat into your own fantasy world. These aren't opinions. These are facts.

Everyone can argue in whatever direction they want, and even do a good job with it. However, you and everyone like you fail at doing so and only make an idiot of yourself.

>>145395974
>>145395855
Hey, Kaworufag, fuck off. Shinji cried, despaired and even made out with those characters.

Keep in mind that the only reason for Shinji being moved by Kaworu is because he's extremely vulnerable after having effectively lost all his friends, love interests and more.

Even in the lol-kaworu-meme pic the other guy posted, he's leaving out the context.

>>145395974

He blushed towards Rei and Asuka.

>>145396089
That a character is a "stand out character" inherently includes the recognition from the audience as having "stood out".

This is not an ad populum argument, and FYI since you're absolutely braindead, if one is to argue that something is popular, invoking "ad populum" as a counter isn't valid for obvious reasons.

Don't try again please. You're pathetic and too stupid to hold any decent conversation. I'm not saying this to be edgy, I really mean it.

>>145396176
When did he blush towards Rei?

I'd make the characters a bit more likable. Eva's biggest problem is that it relies on you giving a shit about any of these fucking dreadful, depressing wastes of space, and that's just hard to do. I know that's the point, but who cares in that case?

Stand-out character does not equal popular character, and even if it did one character standing out more or being more popular doesn't mean the other characters of the show weren't also incredibly popular.

Don't be an idiot.

Rei is a character that is vastly more popular than the next competitor within the series, this makes her factually and undeniably "a stand out character". Not just in the context of Evangelion, but anime in general at the time.

You keep dumbing down discussion with every post you make. Get this: You're wrong, and you always will be. This isn't going to change, and no matter how much you squirm the result will always be the same.

>Moreover, you argued that certain elements of her character are what made her popular,
No, I did not. Even if I did, I'd point out the fact that it's the very character of Rei that made her popular, and that includes _all_ of Rei's character.

I'm telling you this so you can look into yourself, stop trying to one-up someone else on an imageboard, and try to have good conversation or discussion that isn't based on you being a butthurt beta bitch.

Except in this case, it does. Rei wasn't just popular, she was more than twice as popular as the next female character, Asuka. Despite having less screentime.
Not just more popular than Asuka, but she was so popular she earned the title of "Premium Girl" and whatnot.

That's the definition of stand out.

>>145396725
Misato is best girl for Shinji.

Asuka is best girl to get hatebanged by a group of muscular men.

>>145396647
>All this projection
Anon, you're the one that's getting mad. Constantly asserting how correct you are and how wrong I am doesn't make you right, it only serves to betray your own insecurity. Maybe you should try to argue with someone honestly instead of feeling the need to resort to cheap insults and idiotic psychoanalysis at every turn.

>No, I did not.
Yes, you did.
>So it's the other way around, it doesn't help Asuka, Misato or the rest that they all have lesser versions of the same theme as Rei. Not only that. Rei is the only one who actually proves ot the viewer that she has a firmer grasp on herself than the rest does. There is a reason why Rei is the character that objectively stood the most out when NGE was introduced.
This clearly suggests that Rei's popularity is because of the strength of her self-identity themes, and that Asuka and Misato are less popular because they use this theme to a less effective degree.

>>145396855
You can stop samefagging anon, posting the same thing twice doesn't make you more correct either.

>>145396843
I definitely can blame you for being a delusional shithead, yes. If there was one great thing Anno did concerning Kaworu, it was kill off Kaworu in the original and have Shinji get his good end without him.

Unfortunately Kaworufags miss the entire point about Kaworu, as he's supposed to be an evil, negative and self-indulgent escapist fantasy which threatens to ruin the entire human race. Literally in the show.

This beatuiful point is missed by Kaworufags and re-renditioned as "gay sex". Talk about small-minded crowd.

>>145396960
You act like an idiot, argue like an idiot and present the opinions of an idiot. I am not wrong to call you out on it. I can do this with complete justification because I've proved why you were an imbecile every time.

I will continue to do so for every single post forward as long as you give me the opportunity to. Every single time. So you either get your act together, start arguing honestly instead of deconstructing everything written or said in search of some feeble point that ultimately gets destroyed every time, or you get prepared to be called an idiot a lot. I'll even take pleasure in it due to how simple it is. Yes, it is that simple.

So let's get to the next dumb point you made that obviously, and clearly has no merit whatsoever:

>This clearly suggests that Rei's popularity is because of the strength of her self-identity themes, and that Asuka and Misato are less popular because they use this theme to a less effective degree.

Had you not been an underdeveloped moron, you'd have understood that in my post there's two sentences you're jumbling back to one. One being the assertation that indeed, it is the other way around as I described - the second infers from the fact that Rei is extremely popular in comparison the simple idea that Rei does stand out in a quite obvious manner regardless of what you may have to say otherwise.

So despite how much you might fantasize and twist the reality of the original series, the results are known and Rei was a stand out character. Again you can clearly see that I don't tie together the fact that Rei was an extremely "stand-out" character by any works such as "because (of)", "due (to), or similar.

With complete honesty, you should start arguing like you want to understand rather than to simply take a piss.

>>145396832

If you think that Evangelion needs to be "fixed" beyond an art/animation standpoint in the last few episodes then you didn't get it.

Even then the artistic choices provided content for meta analysis of Eva so there's still value.

Nothing there about Anno intending Kaworu to be evil, quite the opposite. Almost every staff member has said something about Kaworu being good and ideal, and Shinji's opinion of him in the canon show just further evidences this.
Case closed, you're just a butthurt waifufag who can't face reality.

Nothing you do or say will change how Shinji feels about Kaworu and what Shinji doesn't feel for Rei. Sorry not sorry.

Kaworufags are incapable of understanding reality and the world around them at a fundamental level.

To the Kaworufag, there is no difference between something that was supposed happen and something that actually happened, as long as it furthers their escapist fantasy. Kaworu himself has elements of this explicit reality-denial within him.

That is, on one hand, he is literally attempting to destroy the world, he betrays Shinji and hurts those around him despite never acting like it, as if his actions has no consequences. Even when he is put to death for what he is, he still smiles.

Kaworu represents absolute abandon into stupidity, escapism and depravity. Hence, a Kaworu fan could only be just as bad.

Hey faggot, how does it feel that Shinji ends up with Asuka? Too bad your ship was sunk canonically, TWICE in both NGE and EoE. It's really sad especially because the ship is literally all you have. If Asuka hadn't ended up with Shinji, then she'd still be great for her character. Kaworu? He has no character.

Plus, it's like you don't even understand that whatever Anno intended is not what became the truth in Evangelion. Kaworu is an evil, douchebag despite whatever you think Anno intended. It's right there in the show.

Anything you say to the opposite is clear-cut denial of reality, and all you do is make others laugh at you.

Misato kissed him and promised him sex, got compromised, and will probably come back from the LCL and give Shinji the succ as soon as she sees them.

>b-but Anno said Kaworu was nice and that I should buy the merchandise!

Thanks for proving me (>>145397588) right, anon. Anno can say whatever he wants, but the truth is in NGE and within NGE only. Many authors, such as Ernest Hemingway often lie and mislead people about their own works, quite patently even, just to demonstrate the fact that whatever they say doesn't' actually matter.

So when Kaworu does patently evil things, betrays people and attempts to destroy the world, for no good reason at that, we understand that he is not a good person. You can debate what good/evil is, but what Kaworu did wasn't good.

It's also extremely naive to ignore Shinji's mental condition (or lack thereof) to pretend that Evangelion is some sort of homosexual paradise, despite the fact that everyone normal is quite clearly seeing an innocent boy's life get ruined.

Wake up Kaworufag, you're living a lie.

>>145397353
>Again you can clearly see that I don't tie together the fact that Rei was an extremely "stand-out" character by any works such as "because (of)", "due (to), or similar.
Except that you do. You say "There's a reason why Rei is the character that objectively stood out most when NGE was introduced." The use of "there's a reason why" is clearly an attempt to draw a link between the things you said earlier and what you're saying now. If it wasn't then it was just bad writing.

Also I don't understand why you would spend 4 paragraphs just insulting me and only use half of one to actually make your point. Seems like a bit of a waste of time.

Shinji and Asuka's relationship ends up being the most important at the end, and being the one used to complete Shinji's character arc, but that doesn't mean that she 'won' and they're going to work or even get together as a couple beyond the scope of the show.
I used to think like the S/A shippers, but over time I've realised that Evangelion just isn't that kind of work.

Calm down famalam,
You can always pretend Shinji loves Rei in your fanfics.

>>145397829
You can do what you want to Misato if you tell her you love her. Rei will just lay there and take it. Asuka will fuck you like she's posessed to prove she's grown up.

>>145397867
>Except that you do. You say "There's a reason why Rei is the character that objectively stood out most when NGE was introduced." The use of "there's a reason why" is clearly an attempt to draw a link between the things you said earlier and what you're saying now. If it wasn't then it was just bad writing.

Here's a better theory, you're reaching for straws like you've been doing the entire thread. It's not just this time, but you've been shown as clearly leaving out facts, details and more just to suit your now disproved arguent

I'm saying there's a reason why something factual has happened, and I'm telling you directly that the factual nature that Rei is a stand-out character within the context of EVA in the 90's cannot be denied. I am saying there is a reason for it, and whatever it might be, it without question it inherently involves all of Rei's character, all that I've mentioned and all that I've left out.

Rest assured, it's not a waste of time. You deserve to know how dumb you are, every second of it.

>>145397973
There's no need to pretend at all, about anything. Evangelion is Evangelion, and it is good. You however, are so delusional that your only connection to this thread is shitposting about shipping.

>>145397692
Since when does Shinji choking the ever-loving spit out of Asuka mean he ends up with her?

Kaworu was getting choked before it was cool, and he got the MCbowl without even trying.

Nice projection. I don't ship. The sad thing is that you don't get that shipping is not required to love Evangelion.

To put this into perspective, you're like a disabled,freak looking into the windows of a candy shop named Evangelion, grasping only faint sniffs of the sweetness inside from a crack in the wall. You're out there like the disgusting outcast you are because you can only see Evangelion through the lens of shipping.

In reality it has fantastic characters, storylines and meaning that you reject so you can masturbate to underage gay sex. So go back to your homo-den over at tumblr, you're creeping people the fuck out.

Of course you do, you're a Reifag. Shipping is in your kike blood.

See, all I've been posting is screenshots and reiterating what is said in the show and by the staff. That isn't shipping.
You denying that for a fantasy, however, is shipping. Pretty pathetic famalam.

>>145398085
Anno ended the show with Shinji and Asuka breaking through their shells for a brief moment to be vulnerable and sincere to each other.

The Shinji/Asuka relationship is obviously the most important at the ending.
But no, I wouldn't say they 'end up together'. People narrow down something complicated and artistic to something as dumb as 'who wins the MC bowl!' because that's easier to shitpost about on the internet.

>>145398133
I don't ship. Shinji abandoned the hell outta Rei once he found out who she was, he didn't go see Asuka and he didn't even get along with Misato. Difference between me and you is that I understand all of this as part of a good story and solid character arcs rather than yaoi doujin-material.

Keep barking up the wrong tree though, all you're doing is showing that your only way of communication is through shipping.

>>145398019
>I am saying there is a reason for it, and whatever it might be, it without question it inherently involves all of Rei's character, all that I've mentioned and all that I've left out.
Alright, so you are just a shit writer. It would have been more clear to make it clear that the "reason" isn't necessarily the stuff you said, especially since you put the two ideas in the same paragraph.
That said, that was probably exactly what you meant to suggest, you're just denying it now because it would make you look stupid because you were using the word objectively wrong.
And even if you weren't using it wrong you were using it superfluously, which is still stupid.

>You deserve to know how dumb you are, every second of it.

>>145398287
The most important relationship is Shinji and Misato's, because that's what the bulk of the show is about. End of story.

The Devilman homage at the end doesn't change that.

>>145398244
No, literally. Go read the posts you quoted.
Kaworu was never mentioned. You're either autistic or an illiterate manchild. Either way I expect you to proceed and damage control once you've realized the mistake you've made.

>>145378642
Misato and Ritsuko show some form of maternal affection for Shinji but end up hurting him with their selfishness thus maintaining the overarching theme while giving them more relevance to the plot.

Kaworu is in Shinji's class from the beginning. He's been a Seele plant for years to monitor Gendo and NERV. He's been someone Shinji turns to for emotional support throughout the series thus increasing the drama when he betrays him.

Fuyutsuki spends some time with Shinji, the child of the woman he once loved. It at least gives him something to do. He also ultimately rejects Shinji because he feels like a cuckold, and vents his impotent resentment on Shinji.

Finally Shinji needs some kind of outlet besides moping in his room listening to an old cassette tape. In Rebuild he learns to play the piano. In one of the spin-off mangas I think he plays the violin. It helps if it's something introverted and isolated. Something that could be associated with fighting the Angels like joining a boxing gym or playing fighting games could work. Having him develop some twisted attachment to being a pilot that conflicts with his desire to run away from it all.

Uh-huh, so you are so desperate now that you are literally posing "what if" questions regarding to what I meant, clearly fabricating narratives rather than accepting what was written factually, and even denying the obvious clarification?

Starting to see why you're stupid yet? Not only do you fail at reading-comprehension, but you're entirely incapable of being objective and stick to a discussion.

Shinji plays the cello in the series, just before the kiss scene. It's the only thing he does that gains him any approval from Asuka.

The word "objectively" was used "objectively" right. I've shown why it was correct earlier, and your last attempt at disproving that fact included some inane and delusional hypthetical.

Quite ironic that you're arguing that something is not objective by not being objective yourself.

Keep in mind that I'm not calling your out for your stupidity because you disagreed with any earlier sentiment, oh no. That's not why you're a fucking moron, you're a moron because you keep continuing a completely lost argument with continuously worse and worse arguments with every post you make.

Somehow weird that the other guy just "disappeared" and some guy takes his "spot" conveniently whenever there's nothing more than semantics to argue. Because that's all you're doing, and you're even losing at that. When you're wrong, concede and continue to grow the discussion instead of being an idiot like you currently are.

Rei merged with everything, and she ate the Kaworu bodies and shat them out.

>>145398807
It really isn't. It is for 25', then after Misato's death the focus shifts more onto Shinji and Asuka because that's where Anno saw the best way to draw out the thematic thrust of the film. And so we have the final scene.

I'm not saying that Shinji and Asuka 'end up together'

Make the story comprehendable without needing to read extra material. Instrumentality is incomprehendable without additional information. Character motivations are impossible to understand too. I shouldn't be required to play a Jap only PS2 game or read a supplemental manga.

Suggest you rewatch it because that's factually incorrect.

Misato dies even before Asuka loses to MP-EVAs. Her only appearance after that is when Shinji sees her having sex with Kaji and as a backup voice when he's talking to the Rei/Misato/Asuka trio.
In Instrumentality Asuka gets the train scene where she shoves her breasts in his face, and then the strangle scene in the kitchen

Asuka is the biggest cuck in the show.

>>145399513
They all probably have around equal screen time, but Asuka gets the most focus thematically. Anna uses how they keep hurting each other to represent Shinji's relationship with reality. When he strangles her because he can't handle her rejection, it represents his choice to start instrumentality. When he accepts that he will be hurt on earth, he has to deal with the hurtful presence of Asuka, and in the final scene they have to find a way to reach out and communicate without destroying each other.

Misato has fulfilled her role in the show and doesn't really have much to do with the thematic thrust of the final stretch, so she's killed off early in the film.

Speaking of Anno's limitations as a writer, there should have been more interaction between Misato and Asuka as well as between Ritsuko and Rei. I don't usually criticize media for the fact that female characters tend to revolve around the male leads, but Misato spends so much screentime thinking about Shinji and never worries about Asuka who she is also living with. Ritsuko has been looking after Rei who she of course has some resentment for from her relationship with Gendo, Yui, and her own mother, but we never see it on screen.

Kaworu is LITERALLY the best thing about Evangelion.

Kaworu was originally supposed to dump him after they went skinny dipping because he was heterosexual.

>still replying to people who aren't even pro-Kaworu
God damn how is it possible for you to be this mad?

Reminder that Shinji is a girl, so liking Kawoshin isn't gay.

This explains why they broke up. Kaji is a cross-dresser and he kept stealing Misato's clothes and stretching out her underwear. It would certainly be more interesting than them vaguely being too damaged to maintain a relationship. The reality is that mentally scarred people are usually way more clingy and codependent because no one else could tolerate their bullshit except someone who has equally terrible problems. Kaji didn't have any overt flaws like alcoholic Misato or Spinster Cat-lady Ritsuko.

Misato and Kaji broke up because she wanted to fuck middleschoolers instead.

I would be ok with that if she was in fact fucking his classmates before she met Shinji. Anno relies on vagueness too much.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how mad does it make you that Shinji loves Kaworu and not you're waifu? Be honest, we're all friends here.

No one would respond to me unless I'm posting images of toilets or ships! I'm desperate! How about if Kensuke and Kaworu were merged? Would make Shinji's long walk and camping out at night more interesting.
