Who's romantically interested in him? The closest is Asuka, but she's fucked in the head so it doesn't really count.

>>147508786
>the girls in his class who say scream his name during gym
>Rei after he frees her from the escape pod
>Asuka kissing him

The only girl who could be argued to be in love with Shinji is Asuka. And even then, she's so mentally fucked up sheds reject his advances and kick him in the balls instead.

It's nothing like a typical harem.

>>147508892
>the girls in his class who say scream his name during gym
'cause he's an Eva pilot, that's decently reasonable.

>Rei after he frees her from the escape pod
Not romantically.

>Asuka kissing him
She's 14, and getting her first periods :^)

>>147508450
actually i dont like new animes cause the main characters are beta fags that dont strive to get the girl they like and are fucking mary sues.

Shinji Ikari was different in that regard because he was similar to many boys around his age and was actually interested on the hot girl. Which is unlike the herbivore shit that we see these days.

>>147508450
Nah, I just hate the millions of LN adaptation we get every season

>>147508911
>heds reject his advances and kick
when did he advance on her?
The only times he did was when she couldnt say no.
Or in his fucking mind.

>>147508450
That's why monogatari is awesome and the new wave of anime.

>>147508450
That's totally unlike old anime where a hero type is surrounded by a harem of girls pushing him around

Shinji was emotionally damaged for good reason and I can't begin to call the bitches in his life a "harem". Most of the more touching moments in Eva was between shinji and his friends (male). That's nothing compared to beta-by-trade MCs who fall ass backwards into T&A

Nice b8 thread I guess

>kaworu
>using him

Kaworu is incapable of scheme as a Fruit of Life organism. He's completely serious and very upfront about what he is. Shinji is just dumb as fuck for not asking what the fuck was a lilin and why was he psychoanalyzing him in the bath.

>>147508450
But 90% of 80/90s anime was about manly men fucking shit up.

Evangelion coming out on top doesn't change that fact.

Rei and Kaworu are both in love with him (Rei's poem and Kaworu has word of god thrice in interviews, he's the love interest).

Asuka's feelings are closer to lust than love. That was the point of their interaction. She's in love in Rebuild, though.

NGE is the one of the main culprits of the trend.

>>147512076
He's not capable of analysis, either. Shinji did that to himself, Kaworu was speaking literally and had so little empathy he was confounded by people doing things they didn't like as a concept.

>>147508450
Ok ok we get it, you can't understand eva, don't need to make such a scene

It was supposed to be a one off deconstruction of the infallible MC, and then everyone started parroting the loser MC

It's like ironic shitposting that spawned actual shitposting.

And the MC is always ALWAYS worse written than Shinji. Look at Subaru for instance.

QUALITY

>>147508450
In the newer anime the male audience is supposed to be "if I were the MC I would do this, that etc.".

This is also reached better by making MCs as beta and unrelatable as possible.

Do youngsters these days really call Eva an old anime?

>>147513856
>In the newer anime the male audience is supposed to be "if I were the MC I would do this, that etc.".
I think it's the opposite, people who approach it that way usually hate them. The male audience in most of those harems is just supposed to see the MC as a device to get female characters' to show tits and be cute.

>>147512275
kaworu fagg detected. Typical gay fagg in eva thrads coming around marking their territory like the fucking animals that they are.

Only in the interview of the guy who did the manga was that hit mentioned.

The only one tht shinji canonically wanted to bang was Asuka. Asuka also liked shinji but the whole gimmick of the show was how they where incapable of communicatiing.

Good point. I think I can find a third archetype in the mix - people who want to see the MC to break societies norms, taboos and generally cause mischief and find it entertaining. Some of the stuff may pander to people's fetishes (such as stealing underwear).

SO:

1. BETA MC is so incompetent (and lacks any interest for the opposing sex) that the watcher can fantasize switching places with the MC (e.g. Dagashi Kashi)

2. BETA MC is just a device (irrelevant) and an excuse to see fanservice (probably most harems and echi shows)

3. "ALPHA" MC seen as an entertaining figure and helps "realize" peoples fantasies directly (Konosuba? Monogatari for certain scenes?)

>>147514217
If only Kircheis was still here.

>complains about weak pussy MC that doesn't care about the harem of girls literally handed to him

Japs are to fucking retarded to make anything else. you get what you get niggers. If you don't like these types of main characters then you have to settle for yuri slice of life shit.

Sex isn't love.

reminder that the 'fanfiction' that was E7 did everything this series did and much more, much better

So did Ideon and NGE is 'fanfiction' of that
