What was her fucking problem? Was she a psychopath? Is this just what Anno imagined all white people were like?

What is there to understand?
Love isn't always logical.

I wish Eva was a more "normal' post-apocalyptic world rather than all the god biomecha shit

>She's a complete asshole to everyone
I don't think so, she's brutally honest, but no worse than that.
>demands constant praise and attention
Not necessarily a bad thing, it's cute.
>drives everyone away
The fact that we, the viewers, know that it's a front and she does want someone to make the effort to push through it just makes the idea of doing that feel more special.
Asuka has lots of sweet moments too, they're just easily forgotten compared to the last few episodes where she's losing the plot.

Sounds like you just want a 3D gf. Clinging to the most 3DPD anime girl out there and all that.

She's not as broken as Shinji is, but she's certainly his equal in their shared psychopathy. That doesn't mean all white people were imagined to be that way: she, as an individual, just had a really shitty life.

But that's already boring and played out these days

So, you only like her for her looks?

I didn't say that, did I?

Feliz jueves

Better than dishonest mechashit

she has a slammin' bod and fucks like a wildcat

What makes it "dishonest"? Do you want it be some heavy handed message about global warming? Do you want zombies?

>Post apocalyptic is just zombies or global warming
Imagine being this retarded

He's asking you want kind of apocalypse you want.

shes built like a stick and never had sex, shes a cartoon

You couldn't think of a reason why you liked her, so it's kind of obvious.

Yes, there's lots of post-apocalyptic media. Most of them have been done a lot by now. Evangelion was the first of its kind at least in the mainstream.

I don't have to explain myself to you.

You don't have to explain yourself, but you would either be miserable or a masochist if you were to be with someone like her.

Well, I can't deny that I'm miserable.

One with less of an excuse to put 50% action/ultra-high stakes and instead delve more into the ethics and culture development of the new world. Basically less action and less conveniences, that way it wouldn't only have good character but also a good world-building to fit the characters and surroundings.

>asuka seeks active attention - she wants you to spend time with her, even if shes bad at expressing that positively
>shes scared of rejection - shes hard to get into a relationship with, whether its platonic or otherwise, but once there she wouldnt let go easily
>her massive self-esteem issues lead to a gigantic ego that seeks perfectionism and status, but what this really means is that if she decides she wants to be with you, shes going to work harder than anyone to prove she deserves your attention
>despite this, shes willing to set low standards because all she really wants is to happy and have attention she didnt receive during her youth, but shes going to constantly try to build those in her life up to her level out of a combination of legitimate care and a desire to have someone of her level to avoid true loneliness
>shes wounded by being a rejected child despite being above average or even exceptional
She's literally me. She's got a high risk/reward personality in both directions because of her damaged youth. That's why I like her character. The only difference is that, now that I'm an adult, I have no sexual or romantic desires towards her - I just want to be the friend she needs.
Compared to Rei, whose just sort of there and doesn't say no. I understand Reifags, though - it's peak
>im terrified of failing, so lets take the no-risk option
>also, i was never loved correctly, and this character is vaguely motherly if you never had a proper relationship with your mom and have no idea what motherly actually looks like
Asuka is for high performing, damaged people. Rei is for cowards.

sup anno

you forgot commentary on misatofags

He knows they are superior so refrained

I think it's always funny when Anons criticize Asuka for being such a bitch.
She's calling you a fag. She says you have shit taste, are you mad?

that sounds like an enormous scope for a 26 episode anime. I think it did fine as it was and wouldn't have wanted the extra bullshit. Go read a scifi novel if that's what you want.

In Asuka's brain, she doesn't need any protection or indulging, it's an insult, therefore Shinji doesn't need it either and it's disgusting he lets people do it. She projects onto people a lot, they do things for the reasons she can imagine she would do them, so he's an elite Eva ace pretending to be humble for compliments. It's a sick kind of flattery.

Wow, it's almost as if every Evangelion girl is a shitshow of problems and their fans are idiots directed entirely by their dick.

Rei is for people who don't want to feel like killing someone everytime they're around a literal cunt

>Was she a psychopath?
everyone in eva is a psycho

This is why I still want Yamashita's movie about no Third Impact and nations turning on eachother to fight over the diminished resources of the world using Evas.

I don't expect it to be super detailed anyway, I'm just conflicted about a psychological show that tells you "it's not the end of the world!" when it's the fucking end of the world.

It's supposed to be mystical and symbolic, not literal

It's both and that's the problem, if you entirely wanted to focus on they psychological issues you wouldn't put the character in a convenient over the top unavoidable situation and later on just state that it's all on his head.

She had a combination of autism, absent/bad parents, and narcissism stemming from insecurity. She was like the original Elliot Rodger, psychologically and also the white dad/Asian mom mixture.

Nobody in EVA is a psycho, they're just fucked up. Well, maybe Yui.

>I don't think so, she's brutally honest, but no worse than that.
Not at all. You can generally expect her to say the worst thing about the person in any given moment just to shore up her own fragile ego.
>Not necessarily a bad thing, it's cute.
t. someone who has never had to deal with these people
>The fact that we, the viewers, know that it's a front and she does want someone to make the effort to push through it just makes the idea of doing that feel more special.
The idea "he/she just needs me to put extra effort to fix them" is the fastest lane to an abusive relationship. It literally never works.

Tl;DR: Count yourself lucky if you're single.

Do you seriously expect anything from people that finds the spousal abuse between Shinji and Asuka as romantic and genuine? Anyone with common sense doesn't look for partners that are like Asuka.

It's her looks. The redhead/twin tails thing with pale skin and blue eyes. The hair style has become iconic in anime.

IIRC she was chosen precisely because her mom had done the contact experiment and her soul got stuck in 02. Thats was why she went crazy in the first place.
