I'm actually inclined to agree. Should've never made the films for plotfags.
>>145459432
exact same thoughts as >>145460104
every single title you listed is entry level garbage
>>145459389
so i really enjoyed the parts that are rooted in reality
and even the abstract parts of nge was pretty cool because you knew it wasn't rooted in the real world, it had a surreal feel BECAUSE it was in shinjis head.
but then the end of EoE was 40 minutes of an abstract imagery that seemed like it was teeming with symbolism that was pretty much irrelevant. It was abstract and disjointed when the world was ending but it was what was really happening. The visuals didn't do much for me.
also Asuka's
>disgusting
line made no sense and of course after looking into it Anno says he wants people to interpret for themselves
fuck you anno, tell a story or don't, don't make things purposefully obtuse for no other reason but to have watchers imagine for themselves.
>>145459763
>YOU JUST DONT GET ITTTTTT
if im going to criticize Eva and wade through drones like you then I might as well have fun with it.

>>145464100
nice response.
>>145464121
thanks nigger
>>145463885
I don't think you didn't like it.
It's abstract, but the nerds at evageeks have actually taken the time to pick out all the symbols and have come up with some good explanations of what the ending meant, if you read a bit and maybe rewatch some of it, let it digest, you'll probably like the ending
But in a way (and I don't want to sound pretentious), the reason why these threads still exist, and why people watch eva is because it's left to interpretation
>>145459038
So triggered
>>145463885
How exactly would you visually demonstrate someone's consciousness transcending to divinity (or near it, at least) without some abstraction?
>tell a story or dont
He did. "Disgusting" was the least dissembled, least obfuscated dialogue perhaps in all of fucking cinema history. How can you honestly look at Asuka and Shinji and the events that had just transpired, and find anything at all about her choosing that word to be remotely confusing, obtuse, or even subtle?
>>145465104
>left to interpretation
There's not really a lot to interpret. The reason why these threads and such discussions outside 4chan still exist is because Evangelion is almost always the first interaction with something that isn't unabashedly, violently obvious for the person watching for the first time.
Because it is so well known and it's so monolithic, it's frequently one of the first anime that a person may watch. Considering what else exists in the medium, it's probably very unlikely they've encountered anything like it.
At some point, I believe someone involved in the creation of Eva said that it would always be "the newest anime ever made", exactly because of the reasons I stated above.
It is quite literally a matter of being out of one's depth and ignorant. It is, no shit, 2deep4u for most people who watch it for the first time.
>>145466938
anno literally said it was up for interpretation himself.
also because the line has been translated different ways.
disgusting was one of them
i feel sick was another one so some people thought that meant morning sickness.
the interpretations can go on
>>145465104
perhaps. I just found the series to do really well with abstraction and the movie seemed to suffer on the whole transformation scene.
i will definitely rewatch it at some point.

I was pretty unhappy with this movie until a couple months after I watched it, when the traumatic scenes faded and the good parts of the movie became more significant in my mind.
Traumatic is overstating it, but I was fairly underageb& when I watched it and I didn't have a whole lot to compare it to.
I could never tell someone to watch it off the cusp and think that they would really enjoy the overall experience.
>>145459432
ayylmao; agree with everything here except TTGL and Kill la Kill which I have not seen.
Most recently I have dropped watching re;zero after realizing (far too late) that it's super cringe dogshit with a MC more unlikable than Shinji
I also couldn't finish the first episode of No Game No Life
oh and everyone faps to Steins;Gate but it's wayyy 2slow4me familio; no desire to watch further than episode 1

Bakemonogatari
Well, That one show, I forget it's name now, but it had the two brothers but one was evil and it seemed like it was going to be a cool cat and mouse game like death note but around episode 7 it turned into Dragon Ball Z instead of the creepy vibe it had before. The evil brother started giving monologues and stuff and the good brother had to harness the power of yen or something stupid like that by holding wine.
First time I've seen a show start strong and turn bad after five episodes. Usually it's the opposite, that a show takes a bit to get going and then gets better.

It was an okay show to pass time but every time Suzaku got screentime it turned into absolute garbage.
I stuck with it due to its reputation alone, hoping for things to get better but they never did.
I only got through S1 and even though I know there's a S2 I'm not going to watch it. Assuming they both die there is a much better ending in my opinion.

Should have watched a couple of actually good series instead of wasting my time with that boring crap.

Almost inclined to do a full length four minute video. It'd be a lot of Seinfeld trawling cause of so many quick cuts though.

That could coincide with Kramer waking up in the river. Make the 'cunning boy' Newman instead of kaworu. Hmmmm

Fucking /a/ made an elaborate ruse to declare it "the anime of the year" just to poke fun at the lists of other sites and I got coaxed into the snafu when I believed that and watched its first session hoping that it would turn good at any moment
It didn't

>>145466938
*applauds* Damn straight.
It IS really fun to talk about, even years later, though. Good series tend to be that way, so it isn't unique in that regard.
>>145467294
The phrase is "kimochi warui", which in Japanese means... a number of things. The closest literal translation I can think of is "feel bad" and that misses a lot of the context.
Yes, it's sometimes used by women who have morning sickness. But it's mostly just "ugh." To take a modern example, in Re:zero (sorry, nothing about the quality of the series, I'm just talking about a line of dialogue!) the protagonist says it to himself over and over, while pretending to be happy-go-lucky to his compatriots. He doesn't mean he feels physically ill, though even in English we use phrases like "I'm sick of this" to mean things other than literal physical illness.
The protagonist in that show uses it to mean he feels horrible, like he-just-got-tortured-to-death-and-now-that-he's-reset-has-no-idea-how-to-fix-it-and-prevent-his-death-and-the-deaths-of-everyone-he-cares-about-horrible.
But yes, sure, Asuka's words can be up to interpretation. But damn it, it's pretty obvious, the way it's said with such quiet loathing, that it's one of the coldest reactions ever recorded, and if you hear someone say that to you in real life you probably aren't going to be friends afterward, you dig?

>>145475726
That the story is terribly written and jumps from plotline to plotline with minimal connection or use. Use meaning the use of story to achieve what the writer sets out to do.
EoE is a shit movie, it's only good for the visuals/animation.

ALL of the sol's aside from nichijou
everything magical girl aside from madoka
so i decided to try out some of the popular stuff because there must be a reason why it is popular.
evangelion was nice , so was ttgl and especially klk. SAO was a massive gray area since being entertaining on a superficial level, the MC was an archetype of a mary sue and soon made many outcomes very predictable.
REEEE:zero is quite interesting in that we have a human character without any advantages aside from respawing trying to overcome both his own negative traits and the problems thrown at him. no SAO 2.0 to be seen here. now show me an /a/non who do much better in subaru's position.
since i stopped trusting /a/nons blindly on anime recommendations , i grew to enjoy a lot more of different stuff.
