Many of the Rei clones exist only as a part of their character arc. Is this universal for Rei clones? Do they follow a development where they gain more personality over the course of the series.
What anime was the first to feature a Rei clone? I think the oldest I've seen was Evangelion, was there any before that? And did Rei have any development, like Eureka, Mytho and Yuki had?
(I think these are the only 4 Rei clones I remember)
>>
>>153671926
>are there any Rei clones older than Rei
It'd be mighty fucking suspicious if there were clones before the original wouldn't you think?
>>
>>153671926
Rei was originally meant to subvert the "perfect Japanese woman ideal" known as the Yamato Nadeshika. The point was to show that a woman who holds herself to those standards would come off as creepy and unapproachable. Ironically, guys loved it. Shows you how much Anno understands heterosexual men.

>>153672176

Anno has literally never stated that. And Evangelion is full of fanservice of underage girls, he understood how to appeal just fine.

>Rei was originally meant to subvert the "perfect Japanese woman ideal" known as the Yamato Nadeshika.

But that's not true. Rei was intended to subvert the idea of a replaceable clone, something common in science fiction. It's been seen in everything from Gundam to zany one-off OVA's, but Evangelion did something amazing: rather than have the "clone" be replaceable, they had it be irreplaceable.

When one usually encounters a clone in Science Fiction, like in "The 6th Day", "The Island" or even "Solaris", it is a given that the clone has no value. The clone can be replaced, any time, anywhere with a new copy, and no one will tell the difference - except for the viewer of course, who feels discomfort.

So what did Evangelion do different here? Well, in place of having the clone (Rei) be replaced with another clone, the clone effectively replaces itself. The clones we see are not "new" Reis, but merely spare parts to reconstruct the existing Rei. Rei's soul and conscious moves from body to body, always recreating the same person: Rei Ayanami. The story then contrasts this with Asuka, a girl who proclaims herself to be #1 and irreplaceable - but as the story shows, Asuka was the first one to be replaced, because she had no value. Asuka was one of many that could be discarded to be replaced with a new person, any time.

We then understand that Rei, despite outward appearances and what we know from previous Science Fiction, can NOT be replaced, and must always be reincarnated, the entire cliche is turned upside down. Ultimately, the "real" girl is nothing more than a discardable tool, while Rei, the clone, becomes the person who ultimately defeats the oppressing father figure of the story.

The original Evangelion is a work of art because of ideas like these, not because it's a waifu simulator.

>>153673771
It made her first two deaths seem cheap and unimportant.
It was an asspull.

>>153673492
That's not a rule. There are excellent anime characters on the top at times, some being for instance Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami, from the same series. Who or what is shallow is not determined by popularity but by the individual substance of the character in question.

Now, if you ask yourself: "What type of character is there more of, expressionless characters or expressionful characters?" - the answer is obviously the latter, isn't it? Since from before Evangelion, the popular characters has always been the more fun, outgoing and as well the more active characters. These characters are a dime and dozen and is the bread and butter of the anime industry.

Characters like Rei are not the norm, they are the exception. Rei herself represented a paradigm change in what the audience could find attractive in a character. Who'd think that a near emotionless, depressed wreck could be the top favorite character? Anno didn't, I'm sure.

People took note of the Rei clones precisely because they were unusual, and a departure from the norm. It is for this precise reason no one will ever be surprised that happy, funny or energetic characters become popular. It's the norm.

Don't be stupid. You don't know that from the start, so you only know afterwards. Even so, it's not like Rei just "comes back". She's evidently traumatized, and it invites you to reflect on how such a character would feel if they went through the same thing.

It's absolutely brilliant, and an amazing subversion of what is a very tired and flawed cliche in Science Fiction.
>>
>>153674020
tl;dr
Rei-clones are the exception, not the rule.

They're difficult to write because their personalities demand an good explanation as opposed to characters like Asuka.

The point is a reversal of the traditional roles. Rei is a clone, and Asuka is not. Hence, the ignorant viewer, here represented by Asuka wold mistakenly assume that Rei is a puppet, because she's got no will. Right? That's how it's been in other science fiction stories.

BUT

Evangelion blows everyone the fuck out, by making ASUKA the puppet, and Rei the willful and strong individual. Asuka was a doll who simply followed her NERV programming, while Rei has broken out and now lives her own life independent of what everyone else wanted her to. For this reason, we've got Asukafags butthurt 20 years later:

Because she was a phenomenal breakthrough.

Rei Q is the evidence that Asuka / Kaworu could never be better than Rei, so they LITERALLY had to make up a new phony Rei so Kaworu and Asuka fanscould feel better about themselves. Pretty sad actually, how desperately you cling to a fake Rei.

Anno made Rei Q because he's really envious of how well Rei was made, and how much more loved she was than either of his favorites. He's a giant otaku hiimself and promotes otaku activity more than ever, so he's got no right to complain if otaku like Rei as well.

It is funny how Anno basically gutted Asuka even worse than Rei with pokanami to make her more appealing to an audience.

She used to be a sick bitch with somewhat of a story and character behind.
Now she's just a run of the mill tsundere with more action scenes and suits and IT MADE HER MORE POPULAR

That's really funny and sad.

Do you remember THE OLD Asukafags?
They have it even tougher than blue people. Reifags could stick together and forn a purist resistance, Asukafags have probably all killed thamselves and their waifu is almost forgotten by now.

Not speaking for the other guy, but in the original, Asuka was a poor person, albeit a decent characters. I accepted it. Kaworu simply was. But in the Rebuilds, they're pretty damned shallow, engineered only to attract hordes and hordes of otaku. So yeah, that's why I don't like them.

The Kaworu/Asuka fans here on /a/ are another story, they're atrocious and live to shitpost.

>>153675693
Whenever you see people saying "Rei Q was not that bad!" or "Nothing wrong with..:" etc... it's either a Kaworufag or an Asukafag behind it. They made a pact to shitpost that sentence every time there's a Rei thread.

Reiquarium != Rei

Rei I and II don't add up to "dozens", and Rei I is the same character and person as Rei II anyway. It works differently than with the puru clones. See >>153673771

>Rei 1 doesn't count because I SAID SO
Alright, sure, let's just pretend Tomino didn't influence Anno at all and that Rei wasn't clearly influenced by Four or the Purus. In fact, she wasn't influenced by Ami Mizuno either, because muh Rei is just such a big fucky flabby special snowflake.

Try peddling your rhetoric in /m/ and see how far that gets you, kid.
>>
>>153679644
Tomino did influence Anno alot. Anno even said so. That's even not the topic.

It's obvious you're just a butthurt retard anyway, /m/ shits on asukafags like you.

Rei was offed by the dozens. Your only defense was "B-BUT THAT DOESN'T C-COUNT"

I could sit here and argue that Puru wasn't offed by the dozens because the Purus are different. And Four was just one person, albeit a Cuber Newtype. Rei owes the entire concept of cyber newtypes her existence.

In short, fuck yourself kid. You clearly haven't watched ZZ or any other Gundam for that matter if you think your logic works both ways.

That's the point you moron. Elpeo Ple and Ple, as well as the rest of the Ple clones are regular, telepathically enhanced clones. They're cyber newtypes, and that goes for Four as well.

Did you even watch ZZ? Ple is bubbly and happy, and Ple 2 is a stone cold killa who's aggressive as fuck. Four is fucking insane. But there's just one Rei. Read >>153673771

All it boils down to are "clones". Gundam was not the first piece of fiction to use clones. It's how and for what they're used, idiot.

Clearly not my little crossbord cancer. If we can distinctively divide Rei into three parts, then it works fine. Again, characters that influence Rei do not have to be EXACTLY like Rei. Sailor Mercury was clearly not some retard moe "so mysteryious" cancer that was Rei.

Proves everything really. You can choose any image, any post from you and it'll end up with some angry hate towards Rei or people who like Rei.

Is it really a coincidence that every single time you post, there's some butthurt against Rei? Of all these images, what exactly are the odds? You must think of nothing else, and that's disturbing.
