Holy fucking shit, episode 21 with Asuka is probably the single greatest episode of the show so far. They redeemed her character in a single episode. I can't believe that Kaji died though, what a rip-off. He was becoming like my favorite character.
π€ you must mean 22, because asuka wasn't in episode 21 at all
I did mean that but I just watched 23
so pretty much, we found God in Antarctica, we tried to exploit it, it got mad and caused the Second Impact, we made Adam in the form of the God we found, then we made EVAs in the form of Adam? Is Rei an EVA? Why is she being cloned specifically, just so she can be the dummy plug and they'll always have pilots for the EVAs?
Eva shines in terms of character development but don't even try to decipher the plot because it's an unintelligible mess
The movie wraps it up better but it's still pretty garbo
Yeah I realized a while ago that the plot is secondary to the characters in it, and I'm fine with that The theme is 1000% "loneliness" but okay, even if this anime did make me reflect on my own life - I'm not a meat person I'm a butter person. I want the cool plot twists and plot developments and all that at the end of the day. I do appreciate that these characters are taken seriously, and I think the world and show is better because these feel like real characters. Yes, for sure, but I also want a story that makes sense and keeps me excited for the next development. This story has done that for me consistently, and with the movies and such out there I'd rather not have the story put to the wayside (and it hasn't been as far as I can tell). While having relateable characters makes the story timeless itself, I also want a nice story. I really just want a clear elaboration on Gendo's motivations (Seele interprets them as him wanting to be a God himself which is an okay explanation) and I want a fuller elaboration on the whole Antarctica/Adam thing, but if I don't get either I won't be too disappointed

Wow episode 25 could've been so pretentious but ended up really being super insightful. I relate to all four of these characters that they deconstructed. Rei "pretending" to be human but fears that she's fake, Misato using escapism to combat her problems, Shinji only seeing his value as something that pertains to what others can get from him, and of course Asuka's immense self-loathing covered up by a facade of enthusiasm and confidence
All of these characters are different parts of me, and maybe that's a narcissistic thing to say but I so see it. I hope that this Human Instrumentality Project isn't supposed to be presented as a good thing, though. Yes, everyone sees you differently and so the "Carmen inside ChallengerX" is vastly different from the me inside someone else, but that doesn't mean that we should just combine ourselves and try to deny our differences. The show makes a good point that when you shut yourself out, you're making a perfect world for yourself. In my alone time, I'll just do DXM/weed, play Dishonored, and eat all the seasme chicken I can have, but if someone comes around who doesn't like watching me play a video game while high and gorging myself with sugar soaked meat, then it's like do I do what I want to do or open up my world to someone else?
So the show has a good interpretation of how interpersonal stuff works, but just like how living with ONLY yourself and without anyone is bad, living with ONLY others and having no individuality or alone time is also bad. So if this Human Instrumentality Project is meant to bring everyone together, that's such a lazy and cop out way to foster togetherness. It's not worth it. Going into this final episode, I hope it's not presented as a good thing.

So yeah I'm glad that I waited until I sobered up to watch the last of these. I legit thought Seele was a person for the longest time lmao. I liked how they used "Hallelujah" in this episode, at first I laughed but then as it progressed it made a lot of sense for the episode.
Also I think it's implied that Rei/Shinji are brother and sister because of when Ritsuko's mom said that Rei looked like Yui
My only question is what tf is up with this spear? Comes out of nowhere and I guess it's the only thing holding Adam (the first angel - but also what the EVAs are based on ?) into his cage thing. I still don't get why/how Adam caused the second impact but maybe we'll see more later

Boys argue over Rei vs. Asuka, but men understand that Misato is the true patrician choice.
Misato just wanted that dick
misato is amazing and I fail to see why she's not literally everyone's favorite she's like the stand out character of this show

Thank you for this post, it clarified a lot. This anime has a tone that syncs well with me. I'm going to try to call it though, the EVAs are angels themselves I think that's a fair foresight but we'll see how it goes

« on: September 14, 2020, 02:14:44 PM »
any specific things you're confused about?
otherwise, there's a lot of ground to cover, and a good number of things to hold my tongue about
I remember a scene where Misato implied that she was just using Shinji to pilot the EVAs and didn't really care about him, idk if i dreamed that or what but it feels important because she's so concerned about his safety at this point in the story I'm slowly warming up to Asuka, she's just loud and annoying -- I think the best thing they've done was the whole shadow creature incident I also like to see how NERV operates in the world

this series is getting incredible honestly
sometimes i dont know whats going on but by the end of the episode i usually do
I love the random "that's an angel" though, pretty sure they used that line like 3 times
and then theres this totally spies shit happening with Kaji where he's a double agent or something
But really I would appreciate someone telling me the story up until episode 20

bump for awareness of good anime
no one here gets called a "lech" at any point

i thought you liked aggressively domineering and assertive female characters who are bitches for no immediately discernible reason
yeah usually but her whole schtick is just annoying In a bad way Maybe Iβll get over it but weβll see
314

I do like when she said "my chance" though, that was badass
315
« on: September 06, 2020, 10:02:42 PM »
 She is an annoying character I like her presence in the plot to stir things up a bit but no this character feels very halfheareted

do you label anything artistic that you don't or are unwilling to understand as pretentious
I think all art is allowed right?
Verbatim you must agree that all art is art right? Art is defined by "a product made from emotion"
yes?????????
why the fuck are you asking me if i believe in the exact sentiment that i'm actively expressing
I was just making sure

Verb should pay for everyone's subscriptions.
I disagree but I wish Verbatim would comment on this thread

I get my bf to pay $12 a month for youtube premium so I can watch videos ad free while still following verbatimβs life tenets
IMO this is the best compromise because youβre not using adblock but still removing ads
I love subscriptions

now that I'm a bit more put together I'm going to rewatch the first four episodes that I watched
I really like the home-li-ness vibe they have going on but I want to understand the plot
328
« on: September 03, 2020, 11:24:35 AM »
lmao this thread is the climax of my entire arc actually I probably should've dipped out after this, it really feels like a villainous breakdown

my favorite one that i just found
I think it's cool that all of these posts are saved, it's like we're writing a diary that we can look back on years later

« on: September 03, 2020, 04:10:41 AM »
if there's some plot explanation for why we built back better in 15 years then don't let me know, I'm watching more as we speak
Just watched episode 4, and I'm glad to see this anime is going to focus more on personal issues than on galactic worldbuilding. I love the glasses kid (kensuke) and the bully kid (tojo) and I'm interested to see more of their relationship.
I like how epic each episode feels while the writing still makes it easy to follow the narrative - will post more curios and thoughts as I watch these eps
