This is what I have so far. I'm so fucked anon. I don't even know if the picture is from EoE, or from the Rebuild series.

>>727521727
lol you picked an edgy weeb image and are now realising it means nothing because its from a fucking anime right?

>>727522645
Yes.

It also doesn't help when I read that one of the main artists said in an interview that the only reason there's all the Christian imagery is because Christianity is mysterious to Japs and they thought it looked cool.

They thought it looked fucking cool. There's no real meaning behind it.

Fuck my life.

Its from the rebuild series. it's Misato showing Shinji Adam (or Lillith if you want spoilers) to build his confidence and show him the first angel. You could honestly bullshit your way through this and give some shit about false religion or even go into more detail about EVA

Fuck. Now I've got to find a similar scene in EoE and screenshot it.

>>727522709
Maybe you can use that? Talk about eastern interpretation of Christian symbology.

>>727521727
Wow. I actually wrote a paper comparing the societies of Star Trek versus Star Wars and I wouldn't have picked this. You fucked up good.

>>727522709
Not familiar at all with this anime or any anime really but cant you just keep expanding on the parallels between the old testament and the movie, like youve already started. Also, why don't you turn it around in your favour by making your focal point what you said in your post about the interview with the guy saying its there just because it looks cool. You can write a whole bunch about imagery that looks like symbolism but really isnt. From there you can draw parallels with western media that does the same with jap culture. Very meta but risky

>>727522953
Use the ending shot of Shinji crying over Asuka's body and talk about everything up to this scene, how humanity has been reduced to it's primitive firm and how, although no one can be sure how much times passed, Shinji had to choose if humanity could survive or not and how when she first appeared he tried strangling her, then after realizing she was real he broke down crying, if it was sadness or joy is up to the viewer as Asuka says the final words, "I feel sick." Referring to earlier in the film when Shinji jacked off over her comprise body. Also give some shit about the mass produced EVA's in the background meaning something about multiple interprofessions of Jesus or some shit

>>727523015
Also, maybe you can incorporate some stuff about Japanese body horror imagery. There's some information out there tying their fascination with it to their feeling of lost heritage after the atomic bombs and Japan's technological boom.

Just bullshit you're little heart out

>>727521727

You're going to have to base your essay on interpretive meaning over intentional meaning, as there is none. I'd go along the lines of lilith being used to harvest LCL, I.E the sacrifice of her allows the salvation of humanity through the use of LCL. She died so we could live sinless? TBH anon you're going to need to bullshit this, there's absolutely no meaning here unless you pull it of your arse, which you need to do.

Get thinking out of the box, and remember; Interpretive meaning over Intentional meaning is your salvation.

>>727521727
I could write this in my sleep. The easiest course to take is always to argue that it's a post-modern critique of modernist narrative, simply because it's possible to argue that ANYTHING is a post-modern critique of modernist narrative. You can pick up almost any text by Derrida or Foucault, point to a random paragraph, and construct an argument that it has a bearing on... well, anything. Like this image. Try it.

If it was me, I would create some kind of argument that this image is a literal deconstuction of the archetypal Redeemer christ-figure in which the modernist male narrative is being transformed both symbolically and literally into a Gaia mother-figure archetype represented by the fecund plant-roots, poised at the genitals to show the line of conflict between the male and female. Then I'd make some kind of allusion to Kabbalistic imagery with the roots at the bottom representing earthly matters of material and body, leading up into the godly realm at the head of spirit and transfiguration.

Like I said, I could crank out 10,000 words of this stuff in an afternoon.

if you can't write 2k words in 48 hours you need to quit education asap

last week i wrote 6,500 words in 3 days, and this week i'm writing 17,000 words

all you have to do is chat shit about a picture, the colours etc, is this even work? what do you study? you must be dumb as shit

>OP's assignment is only hard if you're colour blind, or blind

>>727523367
I could definitely try that, thanks anon! But fuck, I'm going to have to watch the film again as there's so much I don't even remember about it.

>>727522621
what you have written so far is shit. too much overreliance on Hobbs. jesus do you do any work in your class? read some books, your essay should be less of your own words, and more of other people's (people who know what they're talking about and dont ask /b/ for advice)

2,000 words? Fuck OFF that shit is easy.

>>727524099
>too much overreliance on Hobbs

Nah that's actually a good thing, it's just the definitions of words that I'm referencing with Hobbs. He's from the textbook we use in class and the professor is always on our ass, telling us to reference the text book whenever we can when talking about semiotics, communication, whatever.

>>727521727
Your fucked OP

>>727524212
in academia it's a huge sign of bad writing if you quote the same author twice in succession. in your case you're only used 1 author, and you're just going between your bullshit comments, and this one author. that's not considered a substantial arguement in any academic field, you must be below 18

there is so much to write about neon genesis. Does your essay have to only focus on what is factual about the show? Because moving away from that into what the symbology is there for and you could write all sorts of stuff, and im sure there are papers talking about the symbology.
Like even a long explanation of what it means, contextually, and what this image means from a cinematic and personal level.
Or can you only talk about... very specific things?

>>727524212
if you're only gonna write an essay on 1 author you might as well call it a fucking book review instead of an essay. jesus have some pride in your work and read around the subject. Who does Hobbs talk about? Who does Hobbs reference? you should deconstruct his arguement as well as your own

it really isn't hard to just look up his references on google, find 1 quote from 1 of his sources and quote it, your book review would look 1000 times better for it

>or you can carry on wasting your time not working asking for help on /b/

Also can you talk about his depression before the show, and how he cracked half way through, became depressed again and fucked with the show and said fuck you fans imma mess things up to the max. Or is that "artist history" stuff off topic?

I imagine if you were explaining "Starry Starry Night" you could easily tangeant into Van Goghs attempted suicides/depression/etc????

>>727524562
Fuck for real? Well shit I'm going to have to fix that up then.

And I'm 18, so kind of close.

>>727524700
Basically I just need to analyze and interpret the chosen image.

>>727524771
No anon you don't understand. I'm only referencing Hobbs because he wrote the chapter which as the words "referent" and "semiosis" defined in them. That's literally it. Same with Brown, he just wrote the chapter that has the word "connotation" defined in it.

>>727521727
stop wasting your time on this mongolian basket weaving forum and run through a bunch of different concepts instead of asking for help.

just go full fucking biblical analysis and keep drawing parallels. at worst you will get a passing grade and you wont have to worry about this again.

>>727524771
>>727524893
Oh wait I added Brown after I posted the image. But yea you get the point.

>>727521727
I'm guessing you picked that image right? Well, my dude, in the future, I suggest you pick something older and more popular. If you could choose anything, man, you could have picked the Mona Lisa, or Vincent Van Gogh paintings or any number of items that have undergone extensive and well documented academic research for you to cite.

But no, you wanted to use a modern pop culture reference, which is great, but you should have been working on this like 2 weeks ago man. Nobody can give you back the weeks you lost fucking off. This is a lesson for you.

>on /b/

As if you're actually doing your essay. You know you're fucking off and making this thread is a feeble rationalization that you're not just fucking off. do you really think /b/ is going to write your essay, man?

>>727524871
starry starry night is actually one of the closest representations of gravitational waves humans have produced, and was conceived before the discovery of gravitational waves

>>727524893
yeah you're wrong in thinking that they invented those words. they just have a definition of the words that fits your description. semiosis is a word as old as written language itself. my point (which you keep seeming to miss) is that your essay has an awful lot of you bullshitting in it, and nothing to back you up except this guy Hobbs. Hobbs writes total bullshit, anybody who understands what you're talking about knows this, and you're just ass licking his work and citing him as gospel. imagine if i wrote a science essay and exclusively quoted the bible, it'd be fucking dumb, right? Everything you are talking about is subjective, which means there is no meaning, so your overreliance on one person's opinion is as meaningless as your overcrediting of your own opinion, these are two problems you can easily rectify if you stop typing, start reading, and start putting in selective quotes of other authors with ideas that either corroborate with Hobbs, or undermine him. Then you have an essay where you don't even have to think, and it's bullet proof because your teacher can't downgrade the work of somebody else

I have however, established that you're under 18, so fuck off and do your work kid. come back to us when you need advice on getting laid

>>727522621
That's not fucking Lilith, you dumbass.

It's Adam.

so talk about the artist, what he did before (studio Ghibli stuff) what was going on in his life.

the point of the show.

what it all meant (this is alll gotta be your bullshit cos its very subjective)

talk about how subjective it all is, and chuck in all sorts of conflicting sources source 1 says "it means this" source 2 says "it means that"

say what you think and why

talk about parralels

pull everything together in some kind of whimsical conclusion end thing

>>727525374
No, dude, adam is that embryo thing in Gendo Ikari's hand. That IS Lilith. Didn' you watch the show? At the end of the series when kaoru is revealed as an angel, he goes there and reveals it's lilith and not Adam. (Adam is with Gendo the entire time)

Pic related was Adam. It's shown as being implanted in the hand of Shinji's dad. Don't you remember the scene where it's assimilated into Rei moments before Instrumentality?

if you can't answer that simple question i suggest you immediately change your picture to something easier, you can do 2000 words in an hour, and probably even use the same quotations you've already used because it's all bullshit

Sekai, the photo is Lilith

>>727525756
No.

But I do now remember a scene with Gendo talking with that guy that dug up watermelons with Shinji about Adam, who is in a briefcase on a table in front of them.

Ok, you're obviously young and short on time, but there's only one way to write a paper that doesn't suck and hurt people's heads to read.

Write an outline. Organize paragraphs around supporting your main idea, and associate your citations accordingly. Typically, it's one or two sources per paragraph.

If you don't have a clear and simple conclusion concerning the image, find one. Reduce your argument to one sentence. You can do that. That's your thesis statement, and the other paragraphs should support it (and optionally interrelate).

Look, man. You're just going to confuse everybody. We aren't talking about transgender dick-disappearing, here, or bullshit plot twists that aren't reflected across all the Evangelions.

Everybody knows Rei is Lilith. Deal with it.

>>727525433
Also, get rid of that "I" shit. It's sounds like a gradeschooler wrote it. Don't use first or second person, sound academic.

"this can be seen in the image I chose"-childish

"this is evident after close analysis of the film's visual symbolism" - academic.

Plus, look up Mise En Scene, is the French word for how directors put this very specific in the frame of a shot, for symbolism. You could add a few lines talking about this interesting is beginning. But actually look it up between your waifu fap sessions

That is Correct. Kaji brings Gendo Adam in a briefcase. When Gendo touches it it fuses with his hand.

The thing on the cross in the final area of the GeoFront is Lilith, but that isn't completely revealed until Kaoru goes Full Angel and goes to see her himself.

>>727526080
That's false. Rei is literally Shinji's mom's clone.

She becomes a vessel for Lillith and Adam though, and the avatar of instrumentality. That's at the end where Gendo's hand gets assimilated into rei when he touches her. Instead of Gendo becoming one with it like he planned, it takes his whole arm.

i must admit intellectual history is daunting as fuck, i have to write 17,000 words currently, what i'm writing about atm is:

Compare Edmund Burke’s proposals on what should be done with the America colonies and what should be done with India and discuss what these respective attitudes show about his vision of empire.

im quite lucky my university has an incredible intellectual history department, so for example the leading figure on Burke actually teaches me for a different class, and has lent me a book on the subject so it's going pretty well, but OP just doesn't have a clue, makes me wish i had easier essays, but makes me glad i'm not as retarded

You sound like you'd like the Melvinn Bragg radio series "In Our Time with Melvinn Bragg"

In the lowest level of "Central Dogma" is "Terminal Dogma" Where Lillith lays crucified, pinned with th spear of Longinus. It was never Adam there at all, although they hide that truth with only a few clues, until the end of the series.

mate i LOVE in our time, i literally listen to an episode every night. My teacher was on the Edmund Burke episode, a lot of my university department goes on there because I go to uni of london. I think the knee-elbow thing probably is a form of synaesthesia, it's got such a broad definition that it's probably an umbrella term for a lot, some people associate different colours with moods, for example, or different days of the week with colours. very bizarre

i'm currently writing this Burke essay, making myself laugh by quoting Trump in the essay wherever possible, using phrases like 'tremendous growth'

>>727527429
>>727527384
>>727527231


also a lot of people have synaesthesia, and don't realise it, because they don't understand that each sense should be separate, to them it feels completely normal that you should be able to hear what you see. there's online tests for such so check it out, though i dont know how good they would be

Since you can't talk about references of this single image since they are none, talk about his inspirations. You could right at least two pages about the symbolic of the cross in the christianity and how it inspires mankind for generations, then you can talk about its place in the culture of yesterday and nowadays. And you can still replace it into context and explains in a academic way that "Yeah Japs don't know shit about it but it looks cool to them so they took it."

You pic a religious subject, there's plenty to write about it. Considering the anime, you can also make easily a paragraph on the context leading to this scene (I've never watched the show but I guess something leading to the gates of Hell must be needing an explanation).

In the end you can present the impact of religiosity on modern culture (specifically in anime) and why to you it could be more or less used in the future. (I.E Since nowadays no ones really consider the metaphysics questions of existence (pleonasm but who cares) and considering there are less and less people attending to place of cult but more and more watching modern medias to kill time (you'll need to talk about that in a previous chapter of the place of religion in the world or some shit) I believe introducing such matters by the way of animation can be profitable to every ones to extend the consciouness of one's fatality. (bonus point for placing fatality in the topic.)

Anyway good luck.

Protip: when you're done, if it's not due in paper, change the extension of your file to make it unreadable by text editor and gain 2 days when your instructor will ask you why he can't download your paper.

Hideki made it clear that the symbolism was to be left unexplained so that each person would draw his own perception and personal meaning from it.

While this might imply he may have just thought they "looked and sounded cool" it doesn't really diminish the symbolism inherent to all the terms and symbols.

I mean, 22 layers of armor? Same as the number of paths connecting the ten Sephirah (the ten 'enumerations' or 'emanations' of God) of the Tree of Life as described by the Kabbalah which is shown in the Opening of every episode.

The "angels" are all trying to penetrate these barriers and obstacles in order to reach "Central Dogma", etc. There is no shortage of symbolism and shit to write about if someone is paying attention at all when they watch it.

apart from my ears occasionally ringing I think my senses are normal, but how would I know... ok I'll check

/b/ contains all the people who find the true nature of people interesting. Nobody pretends, nobody hides anything. That's pretty appealing to anybody intelligent I think. Though what even is intelligence

>>727528197
haha something else i have expertise on. I was born deaf and what you're describing sounds like tinnitus, is it permanent?

>>727528341
yes i know what you mean, personally i find /b/ hilarious, the mannerisms and conduct are just my sense of humour, the juxtaposition of an ethical arguement with racial profanities and senseless slurs

>>727528341
People still pretend and hide all the time here. But that's human nature, too.

>>727528341
like only on /b/ can you be a white knight, AND call somebody a nigger

It makes the chore of writing a story much easier. And the loaded symbolism gives more to the fans to wank over than the "fan service" or the doujin porn ever does.

Treating Hideki's fictional universe of psudo-science with any weight beyond "entertainment" is absurd.

I'm seriously just bullshitting everything right now.

I need an academic source that explains the meaning of color in films though, can't seem to find one on google.

>>727530240
maybe if you read more instead of asking for help and arguing on /b/

we all want you to fail now

>>727530240
Dude, if that's all you've got after all this, you're really just fucking off and pretending to work on your essay while playing online.

Dude, your time would be better spent watching the whole fucking show again, tbh, fam. It's weak, m8. Weak.

>>727530575
I've mostly been trying to find a bunch of sources to get info from, while trying to plan out how to write all the suggestions everyone gave me.

>>727530659
dude, write to the professor and change the fucking pic

>>727530873
he doesn't get taught by a professor, if he did he wouldn't be this retarded

The Noble Approach is a decent book on design in western animation, has a nice chapter on colours and stuff like that. Dunno if is enough academic for you tho

>>727531279
Nah that should be fine, thanks anon.

>>727522709
So talk about western imagery and how it's mysterious to asians

>>727531520
you can probably have a read on the composition chapters and try to bullshit a bit more on it. Shape language, color value, just with these things u can write almost 1000 words if you analyze the shot correctly. Also, to pump up the word count, you can push the description of the plot of eva to justify this paricular shot in the serie, and try to make a point on something like "why this image is key to the whole plot". Take something like this and turn it into your thesis, and then support it with bullshit about design and connect it Eva lore so it looks like u researched it. 2000 words are nothing dude

>>727531520
Anyway what is this essay for anon, that can help to know what the fuck you they expect you to write on this shit

>>727532069
Okay so basically this is a Communications class, which I have to do as part of my Bachelor's.

In this assessment we have to analyze and interpret the images. We have to find a digital object (picture) that makes meaning to us, explain why we chose this particular object, summarize the meanings we derive from the objects, and concisely note the main concepts or terminology that we'll use to academically interpret how this object works to make meaning.

Literally just copied that from the assessment document.

>>727522621
you reference so many things that could be explained in greater detail. Do you not know what filler is???

>>727532336
Could you give me a couple of examples of what I can expand on. This is what I've got so far.

>>727532326
from what i see here, you dont need nothing related to Eva to talk about this. Skipping the "summarize meanings and explain why u choose", they ask you to explain how this shot conveys meaning, and this is just about visual design. They dont ask to research what the fuck Anno wanted to say with this, but what the audience can recieve by watching this, and this means you can basically say what the fuck you want, if you find a source which justify it. And these sources does not need to come from the creator, but from people who knows how to communicate through images (directos, animators, etc) or expert in symbolism and psicology.

Find a point for this, and prove that point by analyzing the image. if you just try to describe what you see passively is gonna end up like a 2000 words not connected bullshitting about how shinji faps to asuka.
