Isn't that the one where the women of Athens all cockblock their husbands to convince them to stop a war or something? Does that count as tsundere?

Thats how I felt. Feels like I missed a movie or 2.
It was announced a while ago as an all-new story by Sorachi.
What was that about again?

No, but it'd make a great base for one.
Or you could stick it in as a side episode of Tenchi Muyo or something.
Kill me.
I guess that this is where I say that if we're having a contest to find the earliest example of the character archetype in literature and not just animation, simply refer to the chief deity in any ancient religious text. What's the AnimeGAF equivalent of a 900-page thread in OT?

Eh, I guess we're out of the here's some random guy or girl with a random gimmick/theme for their deck. Let's duel them!
Now, it's spread over two episodes! How innovative!

Best case scenario right there.
I think it started off with how ridiculous it was that a bunch of people on other boards/review sites compared their favorite shows to Shakespeare. It really took off when someone mentioned a post comparing Elfen Lied to Romeo and Juliet or something. It eventually devolved into us discussing our favorite Shakespeare plays and the merits of reading vs seeing a live stage performance.

Oh, I missed this, sorry. The
chunk of time missing and some of what happened in the interim
the new movies are some form of the TV series repeating itself, or that they will have some kind of similar parallel universe explanation
dual spears, and why Kaworu knows Shinji.

Karuta Weeaboos: Just a level before Star Trek erotica fanfiction authors.
They explained why
the chunk of time is missing
To be clear, I really really like 3.0. I just am not trying to say that it's in any way a coherent film.
Hey man, they're all native Japanese, they've just embraced traditional Japanese hobbies in a desperate attempt to get their peers to stop being racist shits! I thought the episode made them out to be sympathetic characters.
Jane Austen has Charles Schultz beat by quite a bit.
I'm also sure if you look hard enough you can find tsunderes in the Shakespeare or the Bible.

That doesn't change the fact that they are playing karuta. Shit's worse than anime.

It's not meant to stand alone, it's meant to be taken in the context of the series and the other movies. Speculation:
Kaji is probably dead. We know he's a spy, and if the trailers for the third movie really take place before the movie happened, he probably has been found and killed already. This might be part of why Misato is acting the way she is, since she now thinks she knows what Gendo is really up to. Presumably, a bunch of people died during near 3rd-impact, and there was a coup of some kind. That's all that's important.
This still doesn't explain why the fuck Mari exists, which is the biggest mystery for me.

God is the ultimate tsundere. All that smiting towns just to get people to love him and sacrifice their children for his sake.
Ok, I get it. I get it. I made a super, super dumb statement. It was an accident and I recanted. Can we all just drop it now? Haha.
No one said it was supposed to stand alone. All we've said is it doesn't make sense, because it doesn't. A lot of that shit you've said is super important and ought to be mentioned for the story to actually be coherent. So yeah, Eva 3.0 doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just a thing.
So I broke and I'm reading through the manga for Attack on Titans. It's fairly good but not without some flaws. This is actually one of the few times where I hope they don't just retell the story 1 for 1 but rather Araki modifies some stuff. I do think a lot of scenes and the flow will work a lot better in animated form compared to just the manga though. Should be a good watch if Wit doesn't fuck this up.
Oh and I like Asano's designs over the originals.

No, no, that's yandere.
already ahead of you.
They're both forms of entertainment that people are driven to partake of due to total social ostracism. Seems pretty equal to me!

I guess. It makes about as much sense as the series did for me, though. I feel like the show kind of requires some extra studying to follow everything that's happening with the plot by design.
It's one thing to leave the plot open to some interpretation. I'm all for surrealist story telling and Eva does that well.
What 3.0 does, though, isn't really that. It just leaves stuff out with very few clues. Sure you can infer what's gone on, but at some point you're just making shit up. It's the other type of story telling Anno uses and that's troll story telling. It doesn't make sense because Anno wants Otaku to go nuts trying to make sense of that. This is also why I'm coming around to the idea that any connection theories to the original show are red hearings left by Anno to haunt otaku for years to come.

Join us in the manga thread. Someone is currently going crazy over it after catching up.

This would also be hilarious.
The new movies have been wildly entertaining, I'll feel kind of empty when they're over.
I actually agree with you, though
The anime tsundere archetype pretty much started with Asuka. All the other girls that came before her just served as a warmup. There's also the kuudere with Rei. The oneesan archetype with Misato, I'm not so sure, however.I actually agree with you, though
I think the borderline pedophile, sexy caretaker was sort of popularized with Misato, but I'm definitely not as certain with that one.
The dumb statement was saying "invented". I changed it to popularized, what my actual thoughts are.
This is almost certainly the case as far as I'm concerned. The call backs are intentional, and red herrings in a lot of ways. If he comes out and says "This is connected to the show", than Anno is really slipping. Trolling with those references is much more his style.
I doubt that anyone was ever seriously trying to correct you so much as having a bit of fun using your statement as a springboard to take the question of the "invention" of tsundere to various extreme endpoints. No need to sweat it.
If I put "haha" on something, it's usually not being too serious. Just me throwing in an extra acknowledgment that I knew I said something a hair bit dumb.
Honestly, I have pretty thick internet skin. It'd take a lot for me to actually be bothered by something.

Space Bros' pacing issues are hardly a surprise to anyone, but Jesus fuck that was slow. They got to Houston (hardly a quest for the ages) and nothing else of relevance happened at all besides some brief characterisation for the other girl in the team but who the hell gives a shit about her anyway? It was like a filler episode without the recap footage or the salmon and asparagus omelets.
EDIT: Worst of all had to be the egregious scene with the CGI car speeding down a CGI highway while dodging other CGI vehicles in a way that gave neither a sense of quickness or vertigo whatsoever. I hate you, duckroll.
I haven't felt the urge to punch any anime character in the face so hard since Akio Ohtori... so about three hours ago. Huh.

I can't tell if it is supposed to horror or not. It has the premise and the happenings of horror, but the voice actress, the art and the general direction detract pretty heavily from it.

Congratulations!
I'll need to rewatch it like, two more times before my brain can take in all the visual shout outs and start formulating my conspiracy theory about the whole thing. But I mean, WUT is the only reaction anybody can have to this.
You keep your dirty congratulatory penguins offa me.

Out of the 42 self-selected respondents on the State of AnimeGAF survey:
The individual average percentage of time on AnimeGAF compared to overall time on NeoGAF was about 62%.
Six responses weren't specific enough with the "total hours on NeoGAF" question to include on the scatterplot -- "too many / way too many", "shit, don't remind me", "no idea, a lot", some ranges of hours too large to take a fair average ("5-10 hours" and "20-30 hours"), and one response of "50... million" that I wasn't sure to take as a joke or just as 50 -- but they did provide percentages for the "hours on AnimeGAF" question that I could use towards the average.
The mean average number of hours/week on AnimeGAF is about 18 hours, and the median is about 11.5 hours, compared to an overall weekly NeoGAF hours mean of 25 hours and median of 20 hours.

At this point I'm convinced the CG is intentionally noticeable/bad. Nothing else explains those N64 generated cubes

I've definitely reached the point where this show has become excellent. If I can get more Sachan and Wakamoto I think I'll be set for another 200 episodes.
I don't remember giving anyone permission to take excerpts from my life!

But it's even one of the faces included with the Nendoroid.
Well that is quite something..
