It's popular because it has waifus and has the closest thing you can get to legally fucking your mom while being disguised as a robot show.

...

It has good animation for a TV anime. That's honestly reason enough for any kinosseur to give it a try.

I think this was more to make the weirdness of the latter half of the season hit harder desu. You start off with these seemingly realistic mechanic limitations and end of with bio-horror .

When people recommend Eva what they're really doing is recommending the second half of the TV run and EoE. The show doesn't really hit it's stride until episode 13 and the ending is a bit of a mess but the movie is pure unrefined kino.

Personally. I found NGE to be a overhyped mess that got entirely up it's own ass in the second half. Just fucking say that. It's for edgy suburban kids who feel like outsiders to relate to. Just say that.

It's honestly cute. :)

It's not, it's a forced meme

To be clear, the article is fucking terrible, but there is one good point in it, about how a lot of people who watched Eva, and a lot of other anime, only did it because they felt they *had* to, and because anime is consumerist by design, most anime fans watch whatever's popular, not to glean any artistic merit, just for notches on their belt, and sites like MyAnimeList are terrible, because they use checklists to breed a culture of epeen measurement at the expense of legitimate discussion.
THAT part is true.
The rest of it can die in a fire, because the article writer tries to say it's okay to watch only a few episodes of whatever, regardless of how many episodes are in a given series, and doesn't even bother to mark the differences between closed 12-24 episode series and ongoing shit like Naruto, but whatever.

The fuck are you on about? I'm not a burger you dumb cunt. Cartoons are for children the world over. Japan is no different. Adults look down on other adults that watch cartoons because it's childish.

>because anime is consumerist by design, most anime fans watch whatever's popular, not to glean any artistic merit, just for notches on their belt
I don't see how this is related to the claim that anime is consumerist by design.

You may not be a burger but you are repeating burger ideas. It's a burger idea that animation must be for children. Japan IS different, it just factually is. You're brainwashed.

I disagree with that user as well because there are plenty of motivators behind "having to watch something to fit in." But consumerism is one such type of motivator, like "keeping up with the Joneses" but for weebniggers

Because there's always new anime coming out all the time, and there's particular pressure to stay up-to-date with the new releases. So the people with the most influence in a given community happen to be the people who've seen the *most*, not necessarily the *best*, which means it's next to impossible to actually discuss a given series with any real depth.

Compare this to, for example, a professor of literature at a college, who most likely got his bonefides writing a thesis about the purpose of the potato in James Joyce's Ulysses, and not just giving the dean a huge list of all the books he's ever read.

How does it relate to consumerism, and what makes it consumerist in a way that live action isn't?

I get that, but I don't see the connection to consumerism.

does netflix also have the movie?
because I can´t even imagine how pissed people must have had been when the anime originally aired.
I watched it years later online so I was able to just jump to the true ending.

it is produced for money and consumed by consumers, so it relates to consumerism
>in a way that live action isn't
I don't see how live action also being consumerist applies, but I'm not the user who made either

No mate, you are. Japanese adults think other "adults" and "men" who watch anime are children and pathetic.

Am I the only one who prefers the original ending to EoE?

By that standard there's nothing that sets it apart from anything else, like live action. Game of Thrones is made for money made for consumption.

Most anime isn't made for children. Anime is produced in Japan, is a product of Japanese culture and society, and is primarily aimed at Japanese audiences. It makes no sense to claim that Japan has the exact same attitudes towards animation that America does. Only a brainwashed person could think like this.

they are the same ending told in two different ways, and I prefer the movie since there is more detail and epic Rei hugs

>By that standard there's nothing that sets it apart from anything else, like live action.
not sure how you could even begin to reach that conclusion. Things can be consumerist and still have differences. Anyways, both GoT and NGE were tv shows produced for money. In financial purposes they are the same, but obviously they have differences in production, people involved, techniques used, country of origin, and so on...

Live action shows are made for money. They're made to be "consumed by consumers." What's the difference?

That particular trope wasn't so abused when the show first aired, lil zoom.

It feels weirder in its no budget ways, it adds to the disintegration of the normalcy that the series build in its second half. It feels more fitting to me.

The entire article is the girl whining about how she had to watch the entire show despite being paid to talk about anime.

anime comes out in seasons (spring, summer ect) and most only have episodes for 1 or 2 of those seasons, very few shows get a break and a 2nd or 3rd season unlike live action where you get a season every year for 5 years. anime is made to be a flash in the pan then forgotten by the time the next season starts. its disposability makes it more consumerist

A show isn't disposable just because it's short, nor is it a thought-provoking masterpiece for the ages because it ran for X seasons. A lot of American shows also get cancelled after one season or two seasons or even before the first season has even finished. Swamp Thing's cancellation was announced after the first episode.

>Shinji is a woman hating incel.
Asuka treats him like shit, if banging her was supposed to be so crucial to saving the world like it was in EOE, then let it end.

This is kind of depressing both because of what I used to think was cool and the innocence I've lost

Yeah, I understand. I like the visuals of the original show better too. Editing is really weird and unique, and most visual are jarring and offputting instead of the grandiloquent spectacle of EoE.

It's not anime's problem that people only watch the current stuff in order to fit in and socialize, and if American shows had the same scheduling it would produce the same outcome.

most people watch a few shows currently airing and maybe 1 or 2 older shows. no one sits down and watches 10 shows from 10 years ago + AoT season 3

Who else here legitimately likes Eva as a monster of the week kaiju show

it only becomes a problem if the industry collapses because it has spread itself too thin with too little quality, and that doesn't seem to be happening

the sheer pseudo intellectualism in this thread

Rewatching the series now and yeah, the weird editing really adds to it somehow. The scene cuts are sometimes very abrupt and jarring, and other times they linger longer than you'd expect and relax you. I know it was a budget and time constraint thing, but on my second watch, I actually really like the minute+ single frame takes. Misato meeting Shinji at the train station was great, because it's essentially the first time anyone in the series shows they actually care where he ends up, plus he decides to nut up and stay, so it's quite a big moment for him. First time I watched it was last year, so I was watching with a "here come the memes" mindset. Second time through has been superior so far, knowing the story and what to expect is a boon.

It isn't, and you can't prove that I'm a weeb.

I don't think evangelion works at all if you don't like anime considering the point of the show is to upset people that like it
that scene is a perfect example of a trope being picked apart, in any other anime the female in that situation would react violently and the whole thing would be a gag played for laughs
instead it just makes you uncomfortable because Rei doesn't do shit about it, cluing you in that there's something else at play
if the cinematography and aesthetics alone didn't draw you in though then it's just not gonna be your thing
if you don't like anime, the best anime to watch would be cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, or just stick to movies

Right, mental breakdowns < monster fights

Most anime is made for teenagers. The few anime made for adults all air on obscure networks at 1am in Japan, while children's shows like GeGeGe no Kitaro air at primetime. IIRC, one punch man still airs at 2am JST.
In Japan grown men are certainly mocked over obsessing about Evangelion past a certain age

If I liked heavy handed undergrad tier phil, then I'd just NGE!

Teenagers are an American bogeyman used to discredit things they don't like.

probably, but she just genuinely loved the show too.

checked

Is that all?

I’m actually fine with the fact they cut out the faggot romance. Made the show that much better.

that was the only genuine love Shinji ever got since mum got robofied, you demon

I personally thought the new Shinji dilation scene was a bit much

True

Makoto was gay for Ritsuko. If he was gay, I dunno Kaji would have shown up. He's just a pure volcel my dude.

Being a faggot is a sickness. No matter how good of a person you are, if you are a faggot, you’re sick in the head.

bro are u dumb they couldnt air this on toonami

I'm 25 retard

Not yet she isn't.

In the original draft Shinji wanted to fuck but Kowaru friendzoned him hard. All this gay uproar confuses me, Kowaru is an ancient alien God that shows love unconditionally to Shinji and humanity, he doesn't even comprehend sexuality.

Lol come to me when you’re a 30+ yo lifelong anime expert.

It's fag time.

Epic fail.

NGE is a series designed to make people that didn't go to actual higher education feel smart by giving them a bargain for several intro to various bullshit (psych, philosophy, religion) courses, but taught on a sub junior college level. It's good that they're expanding their minds beyond the mcu, but it's silly when they profess some deep knowledge or understanding because they are fans of the series. I hope they at least pirate it for maximum value.

I don’t know, lads. Everyone has hyped this up for years and I’m kind of disappointed. I saw a lot of the plot points coming and the revelations not that insightful. I’m sure it would’ve blew my mind when I was a teenager. Feel like I missed out on the right time to enjoy this, I guess. Still well made and had some cool scenes. Misato best girl.

Most "higher education" today is just some left wing drivel that's worse than useless.

>Twenty-two year

You’re still a kid. And very much one. Don’t get in over your head.

>I cover anime for Kotaku
>hasn't seen NGE
I'm not even a weeb and this makes me mad

They showed the first 2 episodes and had Misato wearing a bathing suit in the bath, come on.

lmao the only anime I've ever watched are:
>pokemon pffft
>digimon pfffft
>FMA/Brotherhood
I'm by no means an anime fan, but if it's your fucking JOB to know about a subject, then don't bitch about not having enough time to go on bike rides and bake pastries

Well yeah, I called those the bullshit topics. Although I do agree with you that degrees are too expensive unless you're getting stem (and you can really remove the T from that these days because you can self teach and certify for a lot of computer shit) or business degrees.

I've never seen it either, but most people who've seen NGE don't even know why it was so important for the industry.

Tried to watch it a couple months ago, dropped it about halfway through. I dunno, never really engaged me. I liked Asuka though.

Get off Yea Forums, old man.

>animu is dying
>NGE happens
>animu industry booms
whoaaa

It did more than just be really popular.

Fight me IRL, kid. I’m 40. I will fucking crush you and your piece of shit fatherZ

Fag pride month.

>Mindful of its status as a classic magnum opus, I kept thinking of the anime that followed it that touched me more: Madoka Magica

OK no there's no way this article isn't baitu of the highest order

Damn. Found it boring back then and the quick cuts didn't help at the time.
Kinda want to watch it again. By the way hows Rebuild movies and how/where do they fit?
I never understood why people don't pronounce like this.

The first time I remember hearing my Mum swear was calling shinji a bitch in that episode when he runs away.

>look at me! I´m 25, I´m Old!!
you are a baby, evangelion is almost older than you.

It wasn't the full series that aired. These were samplings. Back in the day Toonami was solid with a line-up provided by Pioneer, FUNi, and Bandai. ADV wanted in on that action, only ADV didn't understand how little the other studios were charging to air their series as a boost in DVD sales.

FUNi charged a nominal amount for DB/Z/GT before they were bought by a bigger company. DB was all FUNi had and they were happy to get it on air as for awhile all they sold were dub only DVDs.

Bandai charged very little and a few times nothing to air their series depending on how the last series did. For Bandai it was all free advertising. Gundam turned into a huge toy seller on top of DVDs. Cowboy Bebop, Big O and Outlaw Star were huge DVD sales and toy sales for the few released. Enough that CN paid for a commercial spot on Bandai DVDs to advertise Toonami and that afforded Bandai 3 new shows to license. Later CN would fund Sunrise to produce a second Big O season as it was one of their top ratings earners.

Pioneer split the cost of re-dubbing and editing Tenchi Muyo with CN, but it put anime on the map for so many people with that silly harem sci-fi series. Pioneer offered almost every series after Tenchi Muyo for free to CN to air. Many were taken up if they required little to no editing. Pioneer (soon Geneon) would even record alternate "safe for air" lines early in case CN wanted a show while dubbing them through their various contract studios.

>cont

ADV wanted in on the action and a serious chunk of change for each show. Especially Eva. Eva was demanding somewhere in the 6 figure range to air the show as ADV had zero idea how these things went. CN laughed and said no. No anime series cost more than 5 figures to start for a license. The episode counts are low, the audience is limited, and the budget is not that large outside of internal series to run on the network.

ADV whined and cried. Slammed CN repeatedly. Started their own "network" which was just an early streaming service. Eventually this brought ADV nothing and they offered up a handful of shows first episodes to CN for a nominal fee as a first taste thinking it would get a demand going. No one gave a fuck. Eva was easy to buy on DVD and anyone who wanted to have seen it had seen it by then.

>former CN employee

So she pity's you as well. No Joke is still on you.
Even if the woman you know like anime. They will not want to associate with a boy/man who like anime. Chads don't watch cartoons. especially "muh feels" cartons.

It's pronounced with a "ge" sound: エヴァンゲリオン.

This did give ADV a chance to slap "As seen on Toonami" stickers on a bunch of stagnant DVDs besides their own shitty "As seen on the Anime Network" stickers.

Anime and cartoons aren't the same thing, and there are popular anime that are watched by a lot of people who don't otherwise really watch anime. Kanye West is a known fan of Akira.

Your mom watched anime?

Thanks for the explanation, user.

Yeah she has trouble sleeping so we'd watch the cheap nerd shit they used to play late at night in the 90s.
Stargate, startrek and the like. Don't get me wrong she only watched because it was there I doubt she has like a crunch roll account or anything.
