We talking Eva waifus? Cuz if so, you guys all sicken me. All Eva girls are bad and you should all feel bad.

Misato has more lingering daddy issues than a Gundam pilot.Hey man, I can put up with a messy apartment.
Though yeah, trying to offer Shinji sex to get his mind off of Toji's death was a pretty fucked up thing to do lol
Have you seen my post history?
It's really up it's own ass.

Wait, when did that happen again? The End of Eva movie, right?
Yes, right before
Misato got killed from an explosion

That shipping wars thread taught me more about My Little Pony than I ever wanted to know.

Everybody just passing up Fuyutski like Shinji's mom.
Yea, I remember that. It just threw me for a loop when put that way.
Same, where the bleach so I can clean my brain.

I'm gonna re-watch these Titan episodes so I can better understand what's happening. I was too busy making Wall Worshiper and Beast Titan jokes to pay attention.
The opinion on the opening's song hasn't changed much but the visuals are great.
That ending somehow keeps getting creepier though. I listened to it so much yesterday and had trouble getting to sleep thinking about those images and that distorted sounding singing. I really like it.

I've always seen Eva girls as the ultimate indictment of anime fans. The most messed up girls in existence but because they're total baes people still fawn over them. Not that I actually care.

Technically a lot of people went far out of their way for fucking Shinji's shitty father. I think the amazing part is that seemingly one his biggest driving factors for doing everything was seemingly trying to meet his wife once more.
If you're in Evangelion, you are either fucked up or plain.

He loved his wife and cloned wife, just a shitty ass dad that didn't realize shit till he was in a pool of blood missing a hand.
Men also fawn over crazy ass women in real life.
No kidding. Even Ritsuko and Maya were a bit messed up.

Moment I mentioned actually happened in the series itself.
It was after Kaji had died and when Shinji was going through one of his emotional episodes, Misato tried to come on to him. I think it was that episode where they find out about all the Rei clones.

That last part of one of my favorite reveals. Luckily I don't think he ever really found out what Rei really is.

I judge those people too! lol Don't worry, as an anime fan i've had my share of shameful likes.

Same here. I've had my run ins with a few...not fully stable women and relationships with them are borderline impossible.

The thing about the Eva characters is, as somewhat over the top as they are, I could still see people relating to them.

Socially I'm a cross between Rei and Shinji.

A plank of wood and a whiny baby? Jk jk jk. Shinji is actually a pretty normal dude all things considered. Or at least that's how a normal person would grow up in that kind of situation.

Had a chance to watch Eva during movie month.
But I didn't.
That's the end of my story.
But I didn't.
That's the end of my story.
I think people forget that Eva was supposed to be a total deconstruction in all senses of the mecha genre. Shinji was how a kid would react to being asked by his cold abusive absentee father to save what's left of the human race from the most insane monsters imaginable while piloting a giant living killing machine that might be possessed by the spirit of his mother.
I don't normally like baseless shipping but Gon and Killua has enough basis to it that they definitely would be a couple if they were older.
Still want them to make that Pacific Rim prequel series and air it on Toonami.
this is true
Even Pacific Rim failed in the US market. It was a success only because of the international market.

... I'm not touching that.
I've still got to watch Rebuild of Evangelion: 3.0 someday...
I'd be interested to see how Togashi would write a set of gay shonen protagonists or even better how Japan would react to such a thing. His handling of what I would assume is his take on a
was sensitive and sweet enough.

Why must he be a union-only actor ; ;
I'd choose him to be in
JoJo Part 4 as you-know-who - those of you who've watched it/read it
ultimate is my go to show to talk about all flash and no substance.
the second half should have been cool, but everything felt so meaningless.

Yes, yes. Thank you! I never understood how this below average show could remain popular after 20 years. It's not even that good.

He's normal, but he has no confidence. Rei's barely a damn person, but she gets better...
It doesn't actually make sense as a deconstruction except in the cheapest sense. A deconstruction analyzes the message and world of a genre, and then proceeds to prove it silly.
Evangelion doesn't do that. The EVA protagonists are fucked up not because of mecha, but because the Evangelion world is designed that way. It has absolutely no relevance to the mecha genre other than that it has mecha in it; it doesn't even have the underlying features of what makes a mecha series a mecha series. Even Gurren Lagann's a better example of an analysis and deconstruction (and reconstruction), because it's actually about mecha.
Evangelion exists because Anno was depressed and wanted to make a depressing series. The deconstruction excuse and the philosophy was all rubbish made up later; it doesn't actually make sense. (Because why would the bullshit a depressed pretentious guy writes make sense in the first place?)

Good heavens! How on Earth did it take me until now to watch this?? Been subbed to them and everything. Whew
Anyway, damn it! They didn't talk about the thing I've wanted more HxH trivia videos to talk about...although you couldn't really share it here if that was the case.
I myself couldn't even manage to finish the anime. Made it pretty far tho
(You deconstruct the peeps making that claim?)

Might be? That question gets resolved when you find out about Asuka's mother. The only question mark is who is in Eva Unit 0.
yes, atomically

Speaking of Eva has anyone here seen Bokurano, I think its a great series and a better version of Eva
I assume a Rei clone.
JadedWriter

No, because it has to be a soul, Rei from what I understand does not have a soul and if she does it's probably a fragment of Yui's or something. I have seen theories that say it's Ritsuko's mother inside that thing. The dummy plug system barely seemed to work and Unit 0 went berserk far too often for it to be a competent test bed for the system.

......Please tell me you read it and not watched it. The director hated the story of the manga so he decided to change various important things and sorta completely fucked up the point of the series. But if nothing else the director (Morita) wrote this prior to the show airing "The director of the animated version of Bokurano dislikes the original manga. From here on out, you can't expect the animated version to expand on what you might find appealing in the original. So, fans of the original, please do not watch the animated version from now on" He's right, the animated version did not have what I adored about the manga.
