Why was Asuka playing on a Sega Saturn in 2015?
Because there was an apocalypse and no new games consoles were being made.
>>158731080
For the same reason Shinji got a walkman in the same period; shows can never accurately predict what will be the standard technology and fashion in the future.
>>158731192
Dreamcast came out before the Second Impact. Explain why they didn't show a Dreamcast.
The class rep has good /vr/ taste. Saturn's the best gen 5 console.
>>158731274
>anyone buying a dreamcast
>2015 was 2 years ago
JUST
When did Evangelion jump the shark? I'd say it's in the episode the sphere angel absorbed shinji into that shadow dimension
>>158731710
What ever do you mean "jump the shark?"
>picking up on this and not the fact Nerv uses floppy disks
Cause Sega doesn't make consoles.
>>158732173
a term to describe a moment when somethin that was once great has reached a point where it will now decline in quality
The precise moment when you know a program, band, actor, politician, or other public figure has taken a turn for the worse, gone downhill, become irreversibly bad, is unredeemable, etc.; the moment you realize decay has set in.
The beginning of the end. Something is said to have "jumped the shark" when it has reached its peak and begun a downhill slide to mediocrity or oblivion. It's said to have been coined by Jon Hein, who has a web site, jumptheshark.com, and now a book detailing examples, especially as applied to TV shows. It supposedly refers to an episode of the TV show "Happy Days" in which Fonzie jumps over a shark on water skis, which Hein believes was the point at which the series had lost its touch and was beginning to grasp at straws.

I thought that jumping the shark meant when something or someone does something they should not have done or did something too soon. I was wondering how that pertained to the sphere angel.
Were you expecting her to play Shinji's dick instead?
>>158731197
I'm annoyed they changed it in the rebuilds
>>158732764

which is why I'm glad they didn't even bother to try.
>>158732821
are you kidding me. the final eps they ran out of budget so half the time they resorted to voiceovers over still images or awkward angles to reduce to cut back on the need to animate
>>158731080
I still play the Sega Saturn in 2017...
>>158731710
>When did Evangelion jump the shark?
A first run series can't jump the shark, especially one that's under 50 episodes. What you're asking is "what episode did Evangelion peak at?"
>>158731197
But shinji uses a pretty fucking expensive Digital tape walkman, its implied that Gendo left it to him since disk based portable players and better and cheaper walkmans already existed when the show was being made
>>158732878
If live gives you lemons, you make lemonade
And its pretty much what Anno did, 24-25 are great and really show how mindfucked shinji was by the end of the series and its even more impressive when you learn that they had no fucking budget for those episodes, having Anno animate and edit most of it and Yoshinari doing a really well made and animated scene for free just to drive a point
They could have made up a futuristic console, but they chose a console the viewers in 1995 would recognize as some sort of cameo/fanservice/Sega advertising.
>>158731619
If Iincho had a Dreamcast with Jet Set Radio I could bet Asuka would never go emo on everyone
>>158731080
because playstation hasno gaems
>>158731080
Sega was one of Eva's sponsors, so they had to use a real console.
>>158731080
That is clearly a SECA Saturn, OP. It's not the same thing at all.
>>158733085
If Sega was the sponsor why was Asuka playing Winning Fighter on a SECA?
To attempt a serious answer. Probably because most resources were being pooled to deal with the damage from Second Impact. Infrastructure, food, medical supplies, etc. Technological development had a higher priority than video games. Hell, maybe there aren't video games being made anymore and that's an old Saturn from before Second Impact.

Until recently commercial aircraft used floppy discs
>>158733307
dreamcast came out in 1998
second impact was in 2000
>>158733266
Product placement
>>158733417Dreamcast sucks
>>158733494
and so did Saturn
>>158733478
if it were product placement they would have used the real names
>>158733539
>and so did Saturn
It fared much better in Japan.
>>158732817
Shinji is best girl. I want to fuck her boypucci so bad
>>158731080
She's a retro gamer
Because science fiction isn't really about predicting the future, but about analysis of present society
>>158731080
because of the impacts the human history was alterated
just think of how much better this series would be without that obnoxious cunt
Why will nothing ever top Evangelion?
>>158732279
The world jumped the shark in 2007.

I think he meant "Drop the shark", a term that was coined during the airing of Samurai Jack S5 ep8 that marks the moment a show going downhill passed the point of no return and can never go back.

>>158731080
because she's a patrician that knows consoles peaked with the Saturn
>>158733417
Evangelion was made in 95/96
Also, Sega helped fund Evangelion, so the Saturn was put in because that was the current Sega console at the time.
If they went back and digitally replaced the Saturn with a Dreamcast, that's be like George Lucas levels of putting neon rims on a Mona Lisa.

>shinji has a sentimental attraction to his dad's old walkman that was passed down to him because gendo is too cheap to buy an MP3 player
>Asuka is just way into /vr/ because current games are so easy to the point where she plays a Saturn for a challenge.
>>158731710
You got it wrong, the shark jumped the Evangelion
>>158731274
It's says Saturn2 on the case
>>158731080
She's a connoisseur of gaming and knows Japanese, so she can play all the good unreleased Saturn games.like Evangelion the game
>>158731080
Problem?
>>158731080
Because Asuka knows whick console is the best.
Worst console worst girl. Like poetry

2015 was a terrible year for gaming tbqh. So I can't blame Asuka for going back to revisit some classics.
