This is the most important film in the past 30 years

If you say so.

Meme thread for meme show, appropriate

It's the most important film of the last 300 years desu.

A good way to put it is for its time it was pretty good but has been surpassed by other shows as time went on

>>78950649
the only reason Evagelion is so memed about is because it is the only anime that is marginally deep and well made. If it was in any other medium it would have been forgotten about a long time ago.

>>78950649
and the next century

My favoruite film of the 1990s apart from Eyes Wide Shut.

Ahead of its time.

OP here, posted wrong pic sorry lulz

>>78950857
Why?

The characters were irritating and distracted from the plot.

Shinji was a bitch and Asuka a cunt

No it isn't you fucking child

The only lasting impact that this left on me was how much I enjoy choking women while they insult me.

Evangelion really in kino though, it's a shame that it gets memed and the only people that watch it are weebs and cucks.

i legitimately think about this movie every single day. its like anno took every ounce of teenage angst that i'm holding on to in my mid 20s, combined it with psychadelics, and then forced me to watch it

unfortunately my life is no better but i'm glad that someone understands the hell that being a shut in loser is

>>78950649
Anime is such a garbage medium. Throw away the junk of your childhood and watch or read something decent for once.

>>78950794
there's a few others. like literally 3.

>>78950932
check out welcome to the NHK, that really shows people what it's like to be a shut in NEET.

>>78950890

kinda of heard to explain. At face value it looks like nothing more than another melodramatic anime film. However the symbolism and further meaning behind the story (which you can find some excellent analysis online in forums such as evageeks.com) elevate it above the genre.

>>78950649
If youre a fucking pussy lmao

based Swagshit and Co.

>>78950932

Welcome to the NHK and Watamote do a pretty good job of examining being a shut-in loser too. You may want to check them out.

>>78950963

i've seen that too and while it is a good show its a much nicer experience and doesn't fill me with despair like evangelion does at all. and there isn't any manic pixie dream girl that will come out of nowhere and fix my life, and if there was one i think i turned her away out of my own selfishness

>what it's liek to be a shut in NEET

I love the show but it's not very realistic.

>Protagonist is hadnsome and tallest
>NEET

I don't want to spoil it but I had a problem since the first episode.

Otherwise I love the show. 9/10.

>>78950930
Anno's hissyfit is kino now?

why are NGE fans so arrogant and full of themselves

elliot rodgers was shinji in real life

>shitty father who didn't raise him
>mother gone
>only remotely parental figure is a hot piece of ass
>sought out emotional connection from girls his age
>didn't realize he was actually gay

>>78951157
>Plot is the last thing this story is about.

This is the kind of thing that people who know next to nothing about storytelling say. If a stories plot is shit, it's only to it's detriment. Nothing gets browny-points for being "2deep4me" except amongst nerds who want to pat themselves on the back for watching something challenging.

>>78951225
>rodgers
pls leave normie senpai

>>78951212
I've never noticed this. I think we're a comfy bunch because we can relate to it on different levels. it's the people who say things like "durrrr wow robots fighting aliens so deep hurrr" that are arrogant.
it's a shame that it's memed so hard these days it's almost as if someone really wants to tarnish the image of this show for anyone who hasn't seen it.

>>78951212
Because they genuinely believe alot of the Christian/Jewish symbolism mean something thus making NGE better than everything else. Even though most of it is just for aesthetic. Just you wait when Rebuild 4.0 comes out and the dickriding will continue.

>>78950649

Not even true. Eva is babies first DUDE PHILOSOPHY anime. It's a garbage mech anime desu and slow as fuck

>>78951157
>>78950985
These are the cop outs Eva dweebs go to when you call out the shitty characters and contrived plot full of bs imagery

>>78951326

what fools don't understand is that the christian symbolism is like the least interesting avant garde thing about evangelion

>>78950649

>putting his death threats into the movie
>filming an unsuspecting audience because they ran out of ink
>faux pass philosophical mumbo jumbo rambling about accepting yourself
>shits out a clip show to conclude his much adored televisual series because he couldn't think of an ending

Anno is a fucking hack and he's overtly admitted within the past year he's only in it for the money at this point.

>anime is a medium
Oh boy.

>>78951389
I remember I made a remark a while back on a forum. Basically all I said was that the whole 'reverse-end' filming technique (the very start of EoE) is nothing new and has been done better by other movies.

I got banned the next day.

>>78951438
How is it not? Even fucking Youtube is a medium in itself. If you don't get that, than you don't understand what a medium is.

>>78951456
This is the real problem: ignorance.
Eva fans usually don't know a lot of things so they think NGE is this kind of amazing never done before masterpiece with themes never touched before and other stuff.

They are basically like the people that worship Kojima as a guru who predicted the future.

>>78951509
So basically, babby's first show.

>treating "anime" and "youtube" as being remotely the same type of thing
Jesus. Animation is a medium, anime is literally just Japanese animation.

>>78950985
it's not hard to explain whatsoever. evangelion was an attack on Otaku culture and what we today call "waifuism". rei is a creepy emotionless clone because that's what the 2D>3D people desire. Asuka starts off being attractive, competitive, sassy and devolves into an emotional wreck, unable to escape her past. many anime shows don't depict their female characters as real people, just fantasy projections. evangelion was an attack on these stereotypes.

Fuck off there was nothing avant garde about EoE (maybe for the anime industry it was).

This >>78951422 in comparison is actual avant garde.

the original ending was better and the show itsself was mediocre

>>78951880
I liked the movie ending when I was younger, but the ending in the show makes a lot more sense now that I'm older. the movie is still incredible.

>>78952183
They are the same events you autistic fuck.

>>78952183
well the ending of the show all is taking place in shinjis mind, while the movie is showing what's happening in the world while he is having his existential crisis. r-right?

>>78952225
No, in the TV ending Shinji accepts instrumentality and everyone becomes one.

>>78952280
yes then he regrets it and realizes it's okay to be a flawed human. which is what happens in the movie...

>>78952497
Nah, he seems pretty okay with it in the televised ending.

>>78950649

I unironically agree.

>>78952280
>>78952850
It always felt to me like he was rejecting Instrumentality with the whole "I am no more or less than myself, I am me" thing.
