Why do you hate me, /a/?

How can I hate someone I know nothing about?

>>154332399
Because you are the point at which Anno just said "fuck it, I like money, throw in some more characters so we can sell more merchandise"

>>154332399

Oh, you mean how Mari teased Asuka about Shinji? What about the fact she's Gendo's age range? There is even that scene of Mari sniffing Shinji.

>>154336625

Nah, that's just your shit taste, Anon. Even as a filler character she was still miles better than the angsty main cast. Anno must've wanted to make an actual good robot show but gave up half way and just inserted best grill in the trainwreck that is Eva. It's the only explanation I can come up with after adding in a character superior to all the main cast but making it more or less irrelevant.

>>154336666
She was actually recommended to Anno by the producer, they thought it would be beneficial to the movie series and help them warrant more interest and sales.
Which is actually true considering the reaction to the end of 1.0.

>>154332399
It's hard for me to hate a character I know next to nothing about.

>>154336733
What was the reaction to 1.0?

>>154336771
Mostly to the teaser at the end of 1.0. All people could talk about in both the western and japanese sides of the fanbase was speculation on Mari who showed up for a split second.
They didn't even release a name for her which led to even more curiosity and interest.

Question:

Why did 3.0 waste so much time on faggot piano duets that were for the sole purpose of driving 13 in sync? Clearly this never happened, so all the piano faggotry was a complete waste of time. Why didn't we get to see Asuka, Mari, and Misato interacting? Why didn't we get to see how/why Wille broke off from NERV? Why didn't they use this an excuse to develop Mari as a character?

>>154340413

The problem is from what I understand, all of the information from the manga (AKA Mari and her relation to Yui, Gendo, and NERV) are all technically not canon. That part of the manga was just made for shits and giggles without the production staff's approval (as in, Anno didn't go "yeah that's canon").

>>154340476
Sadomoto hinted during a recent interview that the Rebuild Mari could be the same as the manga version.

She's got great character design but no development to back up her "quirky" personality. She just comes off as bland. The only scene I liked her in was the fight against the 13th just because of how sarcastic and flippant she was.
