Subaru get's a whole lot better though. He becomes a war hero, he becomes an excellent strategist, he gets royal knight tier swordsmanship, he gets Archbishop Authorities (sloth and greed) but he uses weakened versions of them (if he wants to power them up he needs to give up something precious), he gets a personal army, he fights off genocide machines (archbishops), he drank Ekidna's bodyfluids and his word is trusted and taken at face value

No, the hamfisted judeochristian imagery is pure windowdressing and has nothing to do with the character development that actually takes place.

Explain to me how 26 minutes of throwing yet another tantrum and having his doormat waifubait deredere cardboard sidekick take it all is character development? Go ahead and compare that shit to Eva, it just makes me feel more convinced people wanking off over ReeReeZero haven't watched much anime to have any sort of basis for comparison.

Asuka was a hotshot pilot who slowly had her reason for living taken away from her until she learned to work with others. Just because you want to fuck a different girl more doesn't make a character shit.

>>145969802
Yeah, I know exactly what they were attempting with him getting over some issues we were never shown up until that point by throwing yet another tantrum and having a one-dimensional character just take it on the chin. It wasn't what I'd call character development, it's what I'd call giving the low hanging fruit that they went for as their audience enough room to handwave the sloppy transition into the plot moving forward.

She thought her Eva was just a tool in the beginning and calls it a doll. She tries to exert full control over the machine unlike Shinji, who relies too much on the Eva going Berserk at times, and this causes her Eva to stop working with her. She only gets back in action because she has an epiphany that sometimes she needs others help, even if that person is your dead mom inside of a biological superweapon.

They're both from shows which attempt to deconstruct tropes especially the psychology of it's protagonist.

Hachiman and Satou comparisons are brought up as well but the real difference would be they're both asked to play hero when they are far from having what it takes and after failures and running away slowly try to earn the title.

I really liked how Subaru was called out for faking insanity. While Shinji was never really called out on it, when he likely was doing just the same.

Why are we comparing a timeless classic with a flavor of the month show?
>>
>>145969972
We were shown it, it was just very hard to notice but knowing how people like spoonfeeding, going through that whole episode was explaining. It was always subtle. Whenever there is an insult said in this series, you should have noticed that insults are an indication to hypocrisy. Remember if you decide to look further into the series.

My ass. Subaru is suffering mostly from his own bullshit that he caused or let happen. If I wanted more torture porn, I would have gone for Elfen Lied, Blood C, Another or some other pointless deaths that had no meaning to them.

>>145969216
The tantrums are coming from his own desire to be recognized and have self-worth that led him to make those bad mistakes he made. That was his own self-loathing and realization from Rem to meet expectations and become a better person. Also, to fucking reply to this thread is fucking idiotic as well as bothering to give a shit and thinking that they are being serious.
>>145964088
You are stupid. The only comparison and contrast to be made is Subaru wanting to be somebody and Shinji that had to end up being somebody.

>>
>>145964088
I probably prefer Subaru.
While Shinji is relatable, his behavior was just plain annoying to watch. At some point you have to bend the reality of how someone might behave for the sake of the plot actually moving forward. Not everyone can remain practically unchanged through the entire show.
Plus Subaru seems like more of a cultural satire, that is now moving towards becoming a real human bean. While Shinji just maintained his frail self for the most part. Remaining what many would call a big fucking pussy.

Subaru is character that revolves around people's views to feel self-worth. He masks most of his crap going about the day when he was paying attention while retracing steps, and was revealed to be worried all that time when masking his real emotions before death and broke down his facade by how people really saw him in the mansion arc. He is character that lacks focus and preparation to die when he starts realizing his own position in the matter that it has been increasingly hopeless and caused mainly by him which prevented him from killing himself (that was being unprepared, he was also unprepared in episode 7 until he felt like he mattered by the end, but this recent arc was him realizing he doesn't matter) and wanting to keep seeking people out to acknowledge his pitiful existance (check episode 14 and 15). In truth, Subaru is only a character that wants self-worth and gains it from others, but that desire leads to being egotistical, selfish and essentially self-centered until he realized by episode 18 that he does not matter nor does anyone expect anything from him. That is what he thought until Rem had her view and expectations for him that he will strive to succeed. That's all there is to it. No portrayal of NEET or some other crap (Subaru is not a NEET , anyways, he's just a truant). That's it.

The anime industry and fans have been desperate for another NGE to come along for a while now. It can't really be stated enough how massive an impact NGE had on things and it's influence still runs deep but this also means there are plenty of people that are tired of it and want something new that changes the medium and is the new thing to compare everything to.

Every few years now you get a show that gets massively hyped up and eventually the NGE comparisons start to come. It happened with Madoka and now it's happening with re:zero. Notice though that its 5 years after Madoka came out and nobody really gives a shit about it, or talks about it and it has affected and influenced absolutely nothing.

NGE's success and influence is as much about it's own quality but also being in the right place at the right time. The show and its success is the very specific result of lots of different economic and social things happening in 90's Japan and these conditions don't really exist anymore. There's also the fact that just in terms of production value and animation NGE is a landmark in TV anime and while Madoka and re:zero don't look bad they don't come anywhere close to how visually striking and impressive NGE was when it first aired.

There's other aspects at work of course but this is getting too long anyway

I barely give a fuck about masterpieces or whatever time which anime came at the right time or started an era. To be honest, I hate history as it just keeps repeating itself and no one ever really learns from anything. I'd rather judge a work that is right there and judge it if it were good or not. I am not part of any era whatsoever. If the quality is good, then it is good. Saying anymore is just overthinking. Saying timeless classic or original, I give absolutely no fucks for. If something is good, then it is good. If I like it, I like it. Over-praising is something I don't like.

It was big and successful but what has it really impacted? What did it change or inspire? All it ended up being was a very successful and very good show that everyone promptly forgot about after it was done. But while it was airing there were fans and figures within the anime industry who were hoping out loud for it to be the new Eva. That didn't happen though.

>>145979561

I mean it gets massively hyped up while airing, not beforehand.
>>
>>145979826
How do you even make a new Eva in this day and age? In my eyes, a new Eva would have to deconstruct something big and fundamentally change the direction the anime industry is headed in.

>>145980081

Well exactly. Everyone wants a new NGE, but lots don't really understand what that involves or realise that trying to make that is probably going to end in a failure. Anno and Gainax didn't set out to completely change the anime industry although he was aware he was doing something very different.

I'd argue that it's not just about deconstructing something though. I mean look at Madoka and re:zero, they did/do that but they aren't going to lead to anything really changing. At most re:zero might kill off isekai or lead to a lot more grimdark isekaishit. But that's about it.

I think one of the core assets to Eva's success and continued relevance is that its characters feel very realistic and the struggles they all face have a lot of real world applicability. Any teenage anime watcher is probably going to identify uncomfortably with Shinji because they're just as shy and awkward as he is, but the show has lots more characters with realistic and believable problems that people can easily relate to. They also don't act like obnoxious anime stereotypes despite being ripped off and copied in every anime under the sun now.
>>
Shinji.
>>
>>145964088
Let's see
>Shinji is set up from the get go to be emotionally fragile and his character development consists of exploring in just how many ways he is messed up
This makes Shinji feel like a real person with issues and not a contrived plot device.
>Toyota is presented as a cheerful, caring person who goes through immense personal hardship to help the people he cares about but then the character that they developed for him is suddenly replaced with an angry jealous sperg for no other reason than to generate pointless character drama
What's worse is that they then discarded that part of him and he went back to being the same guy was before sperging out. They wasted 5 whole episodes on fucking nothing.

Subaru was always a bit of a cunt it was just more noticeable under pressure it wasn't sudden you could see him sperging out as soon as he saw Emilia under pressure.

>At least shinji is in a good series
Correction : At least Shinji is in a regular 6/10 overrated series. And that is The same with Re:Zero.
>>
>>145981674
Yeah, everyone discusses a twenty year old anime even though it's 6/10
>>
>>145981747

nostalgia syndrome. There's like a few anime airing in the 90s so oldies remember most of the 90s show and thinks it's good.

Re:Zero is on another level and the best show with all the show that have aired since the 90s.

>all these buttrustled eva fanboys
At least Re:Zero is entertaining. Eva is just irredeemably terrible that's only liked because muh first serious animu.

You honestly think that people on this board were even alive for the original airing?

BY SHINJI! Subaru is a faggot car.
>>
>>145978095
Putting a work of fiction in its proper social and historical context has nothing to do with overpraising, anon. It's basic analysis, especially with a series as influential as Eva.

Not that you have any obligation to do so, though.

Why does this show is always getting compared to NGE when a show of the same season that treats about psychology with awesome direction like NGE never gets a mere comparison?

Eva is shit. Re:Zero is the best anime of all time.

>>145982625
If you're not baiting, have you seen more than 10 anime?
>>
>>145982277
Mob only started taking the psychology aspect seriously in the last two episodes before it was just his feels counter. But I'm an animeonlyfag so I don't know how far they'll take it.
>>
>>145983388
There were some scenes treating Mob's psychology in the early episodes too, like the end of ep2 where Mob asks himself what he really wants to do or when he's exorcising the ghost at the girl's school.

Shinji is realistic.
Subaru is just a convenient device for torture porn.

Imagine the kind of person that feels he can relate to Shinji. Probably why Japan is having a birthrate problem.

I will take none

>>145964088
Personally, shinji struck a chord with me, and his struggles were applicable to a lot of real world scenarios. Along with the other interesting characters, their interactions were dynamic and evoked a lot of intriguing ideas.

Subaru however, isn't all that interesting to me. His character has the potential to be complex, but because him and every other character rants everything, it's all spelled out to the viewer, and therefore not as interesting.
And he's an obnoxious faggot, so there's that.

>>145983899
> If you were a teenager and had to face terrible enemies to save the world, what would you do?
Shinji runs away. Subaru tries to be the hero. Shinji is a normal kid. Subaru is a device.
>>
>>145964088
I'm tired of this bullshit. Why are people comparing Shinji to Subaru? The two characters have nothing in common. Re:Zero isn't even about social interaction.
When will /a/ stop being retarded?

I feel like shinji would have given up after 3 or so deaths and Subaru would not be very good at handling a Eva since he is afraid to die so personally I like the two in my opinion

There is a large age difference and one is technically immortal.

>>145985004
No one was actually right about their criticism for Subaru although Anastasia as close, Priscilla didn't spell anything out while Emilia and Crusch were straight up wrong. Subaru'a arguments are actually correct despite being the one in the wrong which is why he has a hard time getting over himself.
>>
>>145986517
Subaru sees and suffers a lot of shit and keep going as if it was easy. He is a plot convenience. That's the point. Torture porn, the show.

That's fucking sad man.

It like comparing Sword Art Online with Lain regarding philosophical themes. Or Hibike Euphorium and Ping Pong when it comes to the actual art (not art design)

Don't argue with children. While quality is not subjective, it also doesn't equal enjoyment. I myself hold NGE in high regards while also enjoying to watch (the good parts of) Re:0.

Shinji because he never dies.
>>
Would Shinji and Subaru get along with each other?
>>
>>145991414
Shinji's character is he doesn't get along with anyone, so no.
>>
As characters they're not really analogous to each other the way OP thinks they are. It's not the same journey.

Having said all of that, I actually hate ShinJim, he was literally born into that world and he still had to be a sour puss about it. Basically like Gendo, I feel the little shit should've never been born.
>>
>>145970157
Asuka got fucked up the worst, too. Several times.
>>
At least Subaru can just run away, Shinji can't even do that.
>>
>>145991486

Still, he lived peaceful life before even knowing the existence of the Angels and the reason he was a sour puss was because he was dragged out of his peaceful and was made into piloting a combat unit.
>>
>>145993961
Not actually true, although I don't think Subaru has quite thought out this scenario yet:

>Subaru goes somewhere to live in isolation
>Lives out his days in relative peace
>Dies of old age
>Satella then returns him back from death to the checkpoint she wants him at

Now let's say he just keeps trying to repeat this
>dozens of deaths later
>Witches' scent is so strong, he attracts monsters from hundreds of miles away even in the city
>They wreck the city and kill Subaru
>Now stuck in an infinite timeloop of reviving and getting killed by monsters
>>
>>145964088
>subaru
Toyota is better.
>>
>>145986517
Oh they were right. Crusche never said he was wrong about. But the fact she would gain nothing from it exactly, his behavior making her believe it may be a him believing a lie is a truth, and the fact that he is only doing it for revenge. Based on his behavior and the fact she would gain nothing from it, or the fact that the info is very shady coming from Subaru and him just saying I know is just bad.
Priscilla was right. Subaru was willing to put his pride on the line for revenge to get what he wants. Is that not greed?
Anastasia knew Subaru did not bother being perceptive in the whole situation and was acting childish. He was pretty bad in negotiations since there should be a gain in a agreement.
