Seems legit

Discussion would be flooded by endless trainwreck shitposting.

>>159488838
It is being aired now, they're called rebuilds and they are trash.

Actual answer: nobody would give a shit about it and it'd fade away as another seasonal anime that nobody cares about after a month.

Times are different now, it was great for its time but today it wouldn't hold up at all.

>>159489120
Then why are the Rebuilds still so popular?

>>159489392
Because it's from a popular series.

it wouldnt hold up nearly as well, but an industry without eva in the 90s would be noticeably different. therefore, what we would even have would also be different, thus influencing the future. Either way people would still shitpost

This is such a claim. Can you think of ANYTHING that has aired in that last 5 years that has even come close to rivaling NGE in terms of cultural importance?

/a/ would call it a trainwreck full of """""plot holes""""" that are actually shit they didn't get due to short attention span. It already happened with Guilty Crown.

It would be a large mess, after the series is over some people would get the main message, things would slowly get clearer, but the series would be considered 3deep5u, way more than it is already considered now.

There would be a lot of hate about the lack of lore exposition, too.

>Just by saying you can fix Asuka with your dick, you disrespected her character.

You're the one saying dick and fix, not me.

If Shinji hugged her in a caring way during the show she'd already be better off as a person.

hugs and improvement over dicks and fix

>>implying you can fix them when there is better, purer and sexier 2d waifus in animu that don't need any fixing

Giving her a hug isn't going to solve her problems, she has PTSD and severe issues. Saying things like "lovey dovey caring" cheapens Asuka as character and shows that you don't understand the message of Evangelion.

>Its better when they need you though, if you choose a perfect 2d waifu then they have no reason to stay with you.
There is many 2d anime girls that want and need somebody to love and care for them, that are ready for a romantic relationship. Asuka is not one of those.

>>159498878
you're saying she needs tough love? Like shinji telling her off?

>>159498878
>>159499159
What she needs is someone to talk to her, be honest, help with her old traumas. A good partner can do it, but just hugs and sex wont cut it.

More like she needs a friend, not a lover. She needs help, not romance. You don't understand Asuka if think of her as something you can fix with flowers and a date.

>>159499346
She needs a friend, not a boyfriend. She's too fucked up, she'd kill her bf. Remember when she kicked Shinji violently in EoE?

Asuka needs a good parent or mentor.

>>159498878
>Giving her a hug isn't going to solve her problems, she has PTSD and severe issues.

Didn't say it was going to fix all of her problems, but just knowing that someone actually genuinely cares would help. Not fix, but help.

>Saying things like "lovey dovey caring" cheapens Asuka as character and shows that you don't understand the message of Evangelion.

I was overgeneralizing the appeal since I am just shitposting on /a/ at midnight. I know that any of the characters problems can't be solved simply by hugs and shit like that.
Its easier to say something simple as she just needs hugs instead of going into depth about how she needs someone that genuinely cares about her that she can talk about her personal problems with and try to come to terms with her issues.

Why would you want to suffer like that? Let the professionals take care of stuff like that. Get yourself a gf/waifu/whatever with one that can have some flaws but aren't dangerous psychopaths. If Shinji couldn't, then you shouldn't either. Here's a tip: venomous romance never works.

By being forced to live with and work with them I suppose.

>>159499945
>Why would you want to suffer like that?
I don't know, maybe it's saying something about me if I wouldn't think it would be too bad of suffering, maybe it's irony of the situation. I've been fixing shit for most of my life but can't actually fix my own problems so I feel the need to try and fix someone else's problems

>Get yourself a gf/waifu/whatever with one that can have some flaws but aren't dangerous psychopaths.
>but aren't dangerous psychopaths
Maybe its my familiarity that makes me want to try and fix Asuka, I don't know. The desire to feel needed probably plays into that, I don't know.
>If Shinji couldn't, then you shouldn't either.

The rest of the run was OK, but not great. It tried to expand the characters, but it did so in a way it felt a little off compared to the anime.

>being such a beta faggot that you have to chose which girl is best girl instead of just picking both and making them like it
>/a/ confirmed to be mostly low test beta's

>The truth is, I (Anno) have no emotional attachment to Rei at all.

>In the midst of making Eva, I (Anno) suddenly realized that I had forgotten her. Her very existence. For example, in episode seven, I remembered and added one shot with Rei. I had no attachment to her at all. I think that was okay, because in episode eight, she didn't appear. Not even in a single shot.

what did he mean by this?

I am on 4chan arguing about girls that don't actually physically exist and never will that were in some chinese cartoon that came out like 20 years ago.

I already sound pretty fucking stupid by just being here, so might as well act like I could handle taking care of the emotional needs and problems of a 14 year old autistic Japanese girl and a angry 14 year old german girl when I don't even understand either language. This whole fucking thread is stupid so I might aswell embrace it.

>you dont need to be fucking the rock to like this
What if I wanted to be the rock in someone's life that they could build off and improve on?

If this was realistic I'd probably just end up drinking all of Misato's beer and pass out every night.

I was too but I was kinda okay with it because of Asuka and Rei being adorable.

>>159512221
Misato is best girl always.

Besides the being a hoe thing

As is in the show I'd rather hang out with her than any of the other eva girls but wouldn't date her or anything
