Liking the characters is a good sign that you're missing the point. They aren't supposed to be likable.

You can like a character and still know that they're severely fucked up

Is that why he didn't put one likable character in this fucking thing?

(It's a shame too. I know that Eva has some depth, but I can't be arsed to explore cause fuck these people. Except Gendou somtimes.)

Yea except he left his kid as a orphan and didn't bother to make sure his godfather looked after him. Naruto would be a whole lot different if he had, he probably wouldn't have sucked for so long.

Uh

He only had like five mins to make the decision

It's not like he had time to call up Jiraiya and say, "Hey bro, look after my son for me k? Gonna go sacrifice myself, catch ya later."

He also gave Naruto the power to become a hero.

He also put a hologram or whatever in him to give him a pep talk and stuff.

Pretty boss dad IMO.

Shard · Mar 17, 2013

Oh yes, one difference between this movie and the show is it has like 95 percent less pointless religious symbolism.

I would assume Minato wouldn't have expected all the adults in the village to be massive pricks to his son.

Yea and both the third hokage and jaraiya are more to blame as terrible than he is.

I'm curious as to what excuse TOM will say for Tenchi Muyo GXP.

Oh boy...

Ultratech · Mar 17, 2013

Man, they didn't fuck around when they made Toyko-3 a fortress.

Except for the whole conventional weapons having no effect on Angels. Heh.

This plan. I like it.

Best 8-10 minutes of the movie.

Nothing in the first half of Naruto makes sense knowing the info Kishi pulled out of his ass for the second half.

B-Dubs · Mar 17, 2013

This is actually a good plan for once. I for one am shocked.

ColtraineGF · Mar 17, 2013

Awww yeah, let's go all in with the Japan-powered sniper rifle, sweeeet.

Now you get it. You hating these characters is a good sign you're not the target of Anno's hatred. Anno wants to grab the people obsessed with these style of characters so he can tear their hearts and minds to shreds.

Youre not kidding. Something would have to be literal torture porn to be more disturbing.

I hated him before I knew his backstory along with Kushina's story. Jiraiya is the assholish one. He's the Godfather. It doesn't really need to be said that he should have looked after him. He shouldn't have had to be reminded.

Minato's awesome. I would say he's the best character though.

blitzwolf215 · Mar 17, 2013

Hey look, its those two guys who seem to actually give a shit about Shinji.

Unspeakable Evil · Mar 17, 2013

So that's what happen to my power during hurricane Sandy.

Yup.

That said, Shippuuden is pretty consistent. The first part is just an... extended pilot for it.

That angel reminds me of the Borg, if the Borg ships were diamonds rather than cubes.

RagnarokX · Mar 17, 2013

Rei wants to go in there and get off on Shinji's comatose body.

Yeah, the villagers being mean to Naruto is sorta stupid honestly. Like, why would you potentially provoke the being with the monstrous fox demon capable of killing everyone here?

A lot of prep needs to go into a plan that utilizes all of Japan's power

Minato....if only we could have an entire show after him.

I was rewatching

Naruto Shippuden Episode 248 English Subbed
Fourth Hokage's Death Match

So so so good.

Knux-Future · Mar 17, 2013

doesn't even call him by his name.

that is some cold shit

Coupled with the glasses. Hot.

It's got to do with context. Basically the only robot shows that existed before Eva were crazy idealistic shonen fighting robots and Gundam space operas.

Basically Eva is something like 'Okay, why the hell would 14 year olds be piloting giant robots' taken to its logical conclusion

I reeeeally want Toonami to show 2.0 for that part

It cant be overstated how terrible the third hokage's actions are when you hear more and more about the backstories of pretty much everything .

ReiGun · Mar 17, 2013

Oh my stars and stripes, shut the fuck up Shinji.

Seven Force · Mar 17, 2013

"Worst case, we'll just brainwash him."

...Damn.

I would take an alternate show about a couple of characters over Naruto half the time.
