Aside from the visuals, I've never been able to get into Eva. It's just so pretentious and confusing to a fault.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

so I guess that kid saves the world in this movie

ok

Maybe

You're pretentious and confusing to a fault!

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Which ones besides Gendo? And I swear Ritsuko sounds like Scarlet.

I forget their names lol anyway Blonde=Gohan/Luffy/18 Gendo- Dodoria and I have no idea who Kent Williams is playing, but I hear his voice.

 

[Line_HTX]

And that's the main reason why I don't get why it's a phenomenon.

 

[Zonic]

WTF, that was seriously long for a damn free mobile game.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

The Woman In Black 2?

Really? Didn't the first one flop?

 

[Phatmac]

When's Asuka.

The Japnese dub also shares some One Piece VAs

Far from it actually.

 

[daveo42]

When's Asuka.

Not for some time.

 

[Zonic]

When's Asuka.

Not sure if spoilers, but....

Spoiler

She's not in this one, I think. Gotta wait for 2.22.

 

[Man God]

GET IN THE ROBOT.

 

[Schadenfreude]

"You got me a giant fighting robot, dad? Yes! You're the best dad ever." -Normal, non-whiny kids.

 

[Htown]

ouch

that's cold blooded dude

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Aside from the visuals, I've never been able to get into Eva. It's just so pretentious and confusing to a fault.

When it came out, it was a genre changer and a psychological study of teenage angst.

But then End of Eva happened....

 

[Phatmac]

Can Asuka just come and kill Shinji please.

 

[Raxus]

Those...eyebrows.

What about...eyebrows?

 

[daveo42]

Not sure if spoilers, but....

Spoiler

She's not in this one, I think. Gotta wait for 2.22.

Spoiler

She shows up after the death of Angel 4 I believe, but it is in this film.

 

[B-Dubs]

Get in the damn robot!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Quotes the quotes we always quote

 

[ckohler]

How old is Shinji? Misato and that other woman are at least a foot taller.

 

[Raxus]

Rei, baby. Get in my giant robot sweetie.

-Totally not creepy Gendo

 

[Phatmac]

SORRY DAD I DON'T WANNA USE THIS SUPER COOL ROBOT.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

The one reason I can't get to into EVA.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

'You mustn't run away."

There. She said it.

 

[Htown]

wait doesn't he need like

training

or something

to pilot the most advanced weapon on the planet

also even though it's kinda bullshit that they put him in this situation, this kid still comes across as whiny

 

[blitzwolf215]

"You got me a giant fighting robot, dad? Yes! You're the best dad ever." -Normal, non-whiny kids.

As cool as it sounds, I doubt most kids would be ok with fighting a giant creepy monster with laser beam eyes.

 

[Line_HTX]

I don't remember hearing these piano tracks.

 

[Zonic]

GENDO, YOU CREEP, WHY ARE YOU SMILING.

 

[Regiruler]

Does any of this make more sense later? Do they ever bother to specify why him?

Also EVA's signature cross bombs, because Christianity

 

[Man God]

His reason is PERFECTLY valid.

 

[Future Foundation]

SORRY DAD I DON'T WANNA USE THIS SUPER COOL ROBOT.

He doesn't even *know* how to use the super cool robot.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Now Shinji, get in the giant robot or we'll make this poor injured girl do it.

 

[Phatmac]

you musn't run away guys.

 

[Raxus]

I mustn't run away!

*proceeds to run away*

*series ends*

 

[daveo42]

Way to go Shinji, making a battered girl like Rei pilot an EVA.

[Zonic]

Is it just me, or does Toonami sound quieter than normal? Feels like I've had to turn my TV up a bit higher than usual.

 

[Phatmac]

He doesn't even *know* how to use the super cool robot.

True. Shinji's still a shit though.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Does any of this make more sense later? Do they ever bother to specify why him?

Also EVA's signature cross bombs, because Christianity

Yes.

And the Christian references don't mean anything. They're just there because they're "different, foreign and look cool".

 

[Raxus]

WAIT LAUNCH? DON'T I NEED TO RUN AT LEAST ONE TRAINING PROGRAM?

GUYS?!?!?!

 

[Line_HTX]

How old is Shinji? Misato and that other woman are at least a foot taller.

Pretty sure the Misato and Ritsuko are in their 30s.

 

[Zonic]

TECHNOBABBLE!

[Line_HTX]

For humanity's future.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Gendo's creepy smile is so damn creepy.

 

[Schadenfreude]

As cool as it sounds, I doubt most kids would be ok with fighting a giant creepy monster with laser beam eyes.

lol yeah, I'm just playing. This whole thing is fucked in the head and stupid, but that's pretty much the point.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Now Shinji, get in the giant robot or we'll make this poor injured girl do it.
