That's not why people liked Asuka. She is liked by most because she was simply the best written character in the series, as simple as that.
She bullied Shinji because he's straight out insufferable even for the audience.

We could say plenty of negative about Asuka, you coward. About how her incompetence regularly jepoardizes operations that Shinji and Rei have handled properly, and how her insubordination would have her thrown in the stockade in any functional military. About how her pathetic mommy issues resulted in her entire laughable existence as a puppet for the powers at hand, who have trained her to perfectly obey her betters whilst never once questioning her purpose.
But we choose not to, because we know asukacucks like you are driven comatose every time you have an original thought.

That would just involve Shinji being too afraid to do anything while Rei stands idle and Asuka has to order them into making any kind of move before getting fed up and leaving.

I like shipping Asuka and Shinji and admit I read more fanfics than I should, but that one is WAY too idealistic. They have sex, and suddenly all their problems are resolved.
Also making Rei's pills the reason for her lack of emotion over simplifies her character, and then she suddenly becomes the #1 advocate for the power of love.

Shit like this just makes Reitards look pathetic. It's painfully obvious that they're larping here to make Asukafags look bad. Maybe it's supposed to be obvious and I'm taking the bait? Either way, it seems all Reifriends are regularly trying to undermine Asukunts because they have no other argument.
You can usually tell which ship in a series it's most canon, by how fans of other ships react to them, desperately trying to invalidate them, the way Reifans do to Asuka. You can see in the way Harmony and Dramione fans constantly turned Ron into a Death Eater, the way Zutara fans attacked Mei, the autism of NaruSaku fans towards every other character. It's classic failed ship behavior. It's also the way Asuka AND Rei fans act towards Kaworu :^D

Xavier King
She complained about Misato and Kaji's flings when this sketch first showed. Though she has been enticed by Kaji's charisma when they later both work for NERV, in their youth Ricchan's type just isn't Kaji. Maybe she would've gone for Gendo if the two were in the same year (go figure, like mother, like daughter)
Tyler Turner
Being bratty isn’t assertive.
Lucas Hughes

She did though. Boning Gendo is her main reason for putting up with all the obviously inhumane shit NERV does.
Andrew Hughes
Yup thanks. It just wouldn't have worked out for young Ritsuko and Kaji. Ritsuko definitely transformed from contempt of sex to fucking and smoking while somewhat retaining that lonely cat lady part of her personality.
Noah Mitchell
Asuka is objectively best girl, Rei is just a plot device and Misato despite being badass and hot she isn't as complex as Asuka.
She's the tsundere done right and she wasn't to blame for Shinji's dense personality.

Kaworu's great because it's intentional. He said positive things like suffering was a fact of human existence and they'd be happier dead. He didn't go back on that until he floated to the same position Rei takes to be seized by Lilith and was alarmed at nothing happening, then lied about dying to prevent Third Impact while omitting Seele existing and looking right at Rei. Kaworufags are shit.

I especially recommend the "Plug Suit Fetish" series. A little bit off model, but mostly accurate and hot as hell.
Jace Brown
I can barely pick between the Eva girls. They are all very good characters and like them all.

If half the things printed about NGE's production are true, then there was a plan 2 years before the show was made for 26 episodes with an ending that sounds like Shinji fights Gendo and Third Impact never happens at all, which was discarded for a draft of episode 25 supposed to follow directly from the events of 24 and make a bridge to Shinji in Instrumentality for 26, then that was discarded I guess so they could fit in character study interviews for Asuka, Rei, and Misato and they made it in like 10 days and got it in right before it was supposed to air.

I can understand it from the point of view of wanting to see how Asuka would react to unconditional support. I think she would resent and reject someone offering that to her, or at least be suspicious of them. It's not in her nature to just accept someone's love and affection.
Caleb Garcia
>toji
>popular with women
Nope
Toji's not an idiot. He's a bait-and-switch. The idiot from Osaka who beats up the main character on his first day turns out to be one of the most compassionate characters in the show and Shinji's truest friend. You saw the bait, but you never noticed the switch.
Matthew Green

She's a complete hypocrite trying to make Ritsuko the bad guy here.
And Misato shows favoritism and only cares about Shinji, she never questions Rei's unnatural commitment to piloting, and does jack shit to help Asuka when she begins her downward spiral.
Tyler Anderson
Yes
Grayson Diaz
Anno made Rei the way she is in the first place because Japan prefers that kind of archetype
Andrew Cox
And yet, you're on Yea Forums
Noah Wright
Misato never forms any kind of rapport with Rei, but I read less contemptuously ignoring Asuka than electing to give her space. She's paying attention, she's making excuses for Asuka's sync results. It's not the first time she takes that approach; she wasn't running Security/Intelligence on a search for Shinji and demanding updates over the phone, she let him roam and worried. Misato appears to believe in taking time, she doesn't raise things until Shinji or even Asuka come to her with something they want to talk about, she didn't start directly lecturing until she was bleeding to death.
Jace Rivera
Ya, her relationship with Asuka isn't that close but I think she's taking a horses for courses approach. Asuka doesn't seem to need the same hands on care that Shinji does, so she gives her space. She does try to give her advice in the hot spring, it's just terrible advice. She tries to put the brakes on Asuka a little in terms of "grown up stuff" what with the perfume, but mostly she treats her as being a bit more mature because that's what Asuka seems to want.
She still cares and she's upset when Ritsuko makes fun of her "family" falling apart, and that's mainly after what happens with Asuka.
Jacob Flores
She does try to help Asuka just like she tries to help Shinji throughout the series. She is generally unsuccesful for both of them most of the time but it's easier to get through to Shinj then Asuka. This is because Asuka's struggle is more internal than Shinji's with her self worth tied only to her ability to pilot the Eva.Shinji has different problems. Ritsuko is a complete bitch I don't see how you wouldn't pick up on that. Rei is emotionally unreachable Shinji is the only one she cares about and its clear noone would have an effect on her other than Shinji or his father. Misato is altruistic right to the end when she sacrifices her life for Shinji and the world.
Cooper Hall
also Ritsuko is literally the bad guy tries to kill all the Rei clones purely out of jealousy
Isaiah Phillips
>Real men like assertive women
I think those would be more drawn to Misato, which is much more of a "normalfag" option. Even Rei is closer to a "real woman" than Asuka.
Asuka is for weak losers who want the girl to do all the work and take charge of the relationship (and their lives).
This is also why Asuka is so popular with otaku demographics.
Jonathan Bennett
imagine being this delusional Toji is the gigachad of the show dwarfed only by Kaji

Asuka clearly needs a strong male and that's why she hates Shinji. Why do you think she was attracted to Kaji....

That, too. Shinji gets more attention because he has a penis. Misato acknowledges herself after Rei explodes that she wanted to comfort Shinji for her own loneliness.
Angel Jackson
Levi Williams
literally every female main character other than Rei is interested in him.... and Rei is Rei
Cooper Bell
that is the most convoluted explanation for why Misato is a bad person I have ever heard. You can justify every action as selfish in nature with that sort of reasoning.
Samuel Sanders
It's in episode 23, when she's comforting him over Rei's death. She reaches out her hand to him and he pulls away in disgust. Commentary states she was offering him sex. The scene is also loaded with subtext. See pic-related.
William Russell
Asuka most of all wants validation. A strong male who actively pursues her would immediately lose her interest. Certainly, she saw Shinji as weak and a loser, but the fact that he would not attempt to make romantic advances towards her made her furious, as it made her doubt her value as a woman, which triggers her fears of abandonment.
Kaji did not respond to her advances either, but chances are if he did, he'd not be interesting to her any more. Asuka is not interested in a relationship and not ready for one either. She's only interested in having her ego stroked. First she'd have to sort out her own issues, but that wouldn't happen without letting anyone close - and she didn't open up to Kaji either, as she hid her true personality from him, playing her nice-girl act when he was around. She was only open with Shinji, since Shinji was her only true "peer" and therefore the only relevant option she has. With Kaji, she never shared that kind of intimacy.
Zachary Reed
how could you ever dislike Misato? She's a functional alcoholic but that's probably the only unlikable trait about her

I honestly never picked up on that just figured it was Shinji being retarded and elusive for no reason which commentary you mean? Also there really isn't anything wrong with that she lost her lover and Shinji has clearly been sexually attracted to her as we see in the last two episodes. I still would never interpret it that way though.
Charles Young
Misato gang, you say?
Christian Kelly
"Kaji the Chad" is a persona he created for his spy work. He actually isn't very interested in sex and struggles to understand women beyond flirting with them. He completely believed Misato when she said she'd had an affair, and still loved her for 8 years after that. Shinji sees through him in episode 18. The flashbacks of him and Misato in college make it clear she was the one with all the sex drive in their relationship. The way he behaves when having sex with her in episode 20 and how he dealt with Asuka in the flashback from episode 22 are further indicators of his lack of sex drive.
Kaji and Misato's relationship, like Shinji and Asuka's, has an inversion of gender roles. Kaji is a nurturing presence for the kids with a traditionally feminine interest in gardening, while Misato is the beer-swilling sports car-driving hothead. Misato has a type: guys who remind her of her father. The main two guys in the series who fulfill this for her are Kaji and Shinji. Behind all his bluffing, Kaji is just a grown up Shinji.
One of my favorite subtle moments in the series that demonstrates Kaji's whole fake persona is pic-related. He flirts with Maya and flippantly throws the empty can towards the trash. Once Maya leaves, he not only picks up his can, but arranges all the cans in the trash. This is the same episode where Shinji cleans Rei's apartment for her. It both shows that Kaji is different when not being observed and gives a visual parallel between him and Shinji. I know I'm rambling here, but I just think Eva's direction is fucking impeccable.

Christian Peterson
I've heard supplementary material gives Kaji some sort of extreme survivor's guilt over his brother's death or something, which he keeps bottled up.
Nolan Brown
I read somewhere that in the manga that he sells out a group of starving children for bread as a kid or something right after second impact , and carries that guit as an adult
Luis Walker
I think that was it and maybe his brother was among those kids, and the military killed them.
Either way, it explains why he shows no fear of death in the series, because he almost feels he deserves to die.
Ethan Baker
Commentary is the wrong word. It's an official art book with license by Gainax that says she was offering her body, though I kind of suspected it on my second watch through anyway. It fits with her character.
Liam Wright
you can't honestly think Kaji and Shinji are similar. Kaji is devoted to his work AND having genuine relationships with people. He clearly cares for Misato and is not just using her all his actions display him as a genuinely caring person. Shinji is devoted to nothing really other than trying to keep Rei safe and not kill people. Also the relationship between Shinji and Misato is extremely one sided unlike Kaji and Misato who both love each other in the same way.
Lincoln Foster
Genocide is double trash.
Jaxon Reed
Close, he was caught stealing supplies from a military warehouse and sold them out before he got a bullet in the head. He doesn't have this background anywhere else, he just makes an offhand comment to Asuka about missing his class trip because of 2I and seeing battlefields in that art book narrated by him.
Ryan White
That was in the manga, which I don't pay a whole load of attention to. Anime is better. That said, Sadamoto was involved in developing the characters with Anno though (he was the one that pushed for a male MC) and he's always maintained that Kaji is the most broken of the main cast, but is just the best at hiding it.
Jordan Smith
Kaji is devoted to his relationships? He abandons everything on a suicidal quest for knowledge as part of his work, essentially abandoning everyone when they need him most.
I don't think Shinji and Kaji are 100% alike, Eva isn't that lazy. I just think there are some very clear parallels made between them over the course of the series, which can help us understand Kaji, since he keeps his true self hidden most of the time. I'd say him and Shinji are about as similar as Asuka and Misato are, which is to say quite similar, but not THAT similar.
Samuel Carter
He also added it was Kaji who worked harder than Misato to sabotage their relationship.
John Peterson
Kaji = (Relatively) emotionally well-adjusted adult Shinji who learns to care more about others, comes to terms with his issues and dicks down Asuka post 3I
Gendo = Autistic adult Shinji who closes himself off to others and never changes
Both are possible outcomes.
Eli Bailey

Michael Fisher
I doubt it, the art book takes care to couch it in terms like "possible", whereas it has no such thing when it comes to claims like Shinji accepting Instrumentality.
Jaxon Rogers
don't agree with that take at all. Kaji died because he had too in order to try to solve what was going on. He left that message to Misato stating pretty clearly that he had to die but that he wanted her to carry on. An extremely selfless character (Misato is as well) and dying for a righteous cause is not abandoning your loved ones. Asuka is not similar to Misato, Misato want's revenge Asuka wants recognition and to be needed by others. There actions and outlook are wildly different.

Stop saying this, it is simply not true. 13 is the minimum federally mandated age of consent, each prefecture then must set their own age of consent (which is the one that actually matters) based on the federal law. Most of them have very high ages of consent, just like America.
That does not mean that Misato is a pedophile, of course. But Japanese law is a lot harder on this than most European or South American countries.

Michael Hughes
>Asuka is not similar to Misato
Both are females that behave in a traditionally masculine fashion. Both use sexuality as a means of confirming existence to others. Both use their careers as a distraction from loneliness. Both cover affection for their love interest in aggression. Both are trying to escape traumatic childhoods and mourning for lost parental figures. Asuka drops into a catatonic state at the end of the series, something Misato spent years in as a teenager. Asuka wonders aloud in instrumentality in EoE if she will grow up to be like Misato. In a deleted live action scene, of a world where Shinji and the Evas never existed, Asuka is Misato's next door neighbor and is living a very similar life to her.
You can pick into the very minute details of them to find differences of course. Eva isn't so lazy as to copy and past characters. There are however clear broadstroke similarities. Even though you point out the different reasons they fight, over the course of the series, both of them realise they're not sure why they're fighting and it turns out they were both being manipulated into fighting by SEELE/NERV pressing their psychological buttons the entire time.

parental figure tie and catatonic state are clearly a similarity between the 2. There's a whole lot of throwaway lines and weird shit for everyone in instrumentality and Misato and Asuka still have completely different motives for almost all there actions.

LOL she was bleeding out from a gunshot wound she said this so that he would be more inspired to save all the people that Shinji was ignoring. She knew she was about to die and was thinking of Kaji not having sex with a 14 year old as she died. She couldn't tell him she was dying or else he would have stayed with her so she said her farewell differently.

There were more rational things Misato could have said to encourage Shinji.
Instead she starts EoE yelling at him to go get in the robot because she doesn't want to die, and when she is dying and realizes the angry yelling at the emotionally distraught kid didn't work, she tries using sex to manipulate him again, because that is all she knows. Just like she did at the start of the series with her post-card to Shinji.

There's an edge on that adult kiss too that Shinji can't be a child anymore. She's yelling at him like she hasn't done since the start of the series, before she settled into a more maternal role, and she comes back around to maternal to tell him to find his answers. There won't be anymore guidance and he has to decide actions for himself or he'll regret whatever happens.

Hello Dan
Oliver Martinez
>Misato does it take to revenge for her father's death
That's what she thinks at the start of the series. She says in EoTV that she hoped to find meaning in her career, but that even though she was good at it, she was just performing a role and didn't feel any better.
>yes attractive people will take advantage of there gift its only natural
There's more to it than that. Misato says in EoTV that she used sex to establish independence, that she was sick of being a "good girl", that she wanted to be filthy, wanted Kaji to degrade and defile her. She very clearly ties in her sexuality to her independence. Asuka does the same thing, wanting to be seen as an adult and seeing sex as the way to achieve this (see the lavender perfume scene). I know you're going to say that associating sex with independence is common so doesn't count as a parallel, but this isn't the case for Rei, Shinji, Kaji or any other character whose head we explore. Ritsuko is the most obviously "sexy" character on the show (the blonde hair, the beauty spot) and she doesn't exhibit this attitude. As I said, Asuka herself draws attention to it in EoE.
>Misato literally doesn't do this lmao
Rewatch episodes 8 through 12. Every interaction she has with Kaji is aggressive.
>ep 8: everything on the boat
>ep 9: angry at him flirting with ritsuko, is annoyed at most mentions of his name (except when ritsuko gives her the plan)
>ep 10: giving out about "god's gift" when asuka brings him up
>ep 11: the entire scene in the elevator
>ep 12: annoyed with him at the party
There's also the wedding, where she's angry at him for being late, angry at him for being sloppy, says no one would want to marry him etc.

None of the things you listed is something she does to hide her affection.

>being aggressive towards someone who you had a bad breakup with is strange
most people are bitter after a long term breakup if it's not mutual or if someone's trust was broken. She's also jealous that Kaji would likely not have any issues with finding a partner. I don't think it's that she's covering it up she's genuinely bitter and resentful. You could be right about the aggression with Kaji though I've definitely acted this way due to jealousy or lack of confidence.
Revenge is also almost always a fruitless pursuit which is why she's unfulfilled nothing to do with hiding behind her work.

Cameron Harris
That's not my view at all, though I empathize with your assumption. Contrary to what you think, assertive women are my type. Asuka is a deconstruction of that. I'd want a woman who cares, not one that would get bored and treat me like a tool. The whole point of healthy relationships is mutual respect and understanding. The problem I have with Asuka is that she doesn't care about Shinji whatsoever. He's there for her to cope over a complex she has. She is far from ideal for a life partner. There is a difference between domineering and independence with genuine feelings of love, and wearing a mask pretending to care when that person is just a tool to fill a void haphazardly. Shinji is in no position to get with anyone either though, don't get it wrong. He's as much an emotional wreck and just not adjusted whatsoever either.
James Sanchez

When does Asuka ever "get bored" with any of her romantic targets? She keeps trying and trying to get with Kaji until he dies and she's distraught, and she keeps trying and trying to get Shinji to reciprocate until she's made to give up on life itself by Arael.
Did Asuka want some kind of "void" in her life filled by a romantic partner? Yeah. Isn't that the reason everyone wants a partner? "Void" makes it sound like an especially bad thing, but if there was no benefit to having a partner, nobody would do it.
I don't see anything in Asuka's character that implies a lack of loyalty, solidarity, or simple good morals. Yes, she is trying to "get something" from the males she pursues, but we are all lacking something or other - and she would immediately LOSE what she's looking for (mostly affirmation and acceptance) by breaking up with either of them. I don't think you can say that makes her a bad partner, though she could be quite a needy one.

Ahhhh, you know what? That's actually a very valid point, and I feel stupid for not considering that. Thank you.
She comes off as someone who only pursued Shinji not because she harbored any feelings, but because he was just a means to an end; completely expendable and would have forgotten about him easily if tragedy struck him much earlier. It's entirely one-sided on her part. user above did bring up a good point though. She's barely a teenager, so it's reasonable that she would be unadjusted to true feelings just like Shinji.
"Did Asuka want some kind of "void" in her life filled by a romantic partner? Yeah. Isn't that the reason everyone wants a partner? "Void" makes it sound like an especially bad thing, but if there was no benefit to having a partner, nobody would do it."
My phrasing needs a lot of work, but what I meant was that her motivations for filling out that void was entirely self-serving. People who pursue romance that way tend to be extremely apathetic around their partners, if not outright desperate for affection in the first place. Those same people don't harbor any feelings toward their partners either. Just being loved unconditionally is enough for them to feel whole. Filling out a relationship void should be a mutual effort, at the least.

Asuka only latches onto Shinji because 1) Kaji rejects her and 2) She's bored. Over the course of the show, she only grows to hate Shinji more and more, because he takes away the attention she gets from others. All she has left in life is being a good pilot, and he takes the spotlight from that. By the end, she literally is suicidal and wants Shinji to die, which is why the ending in End of Eva with her still being alive makes no sense.
Basically, she doesn't love Shinji. She uses him because he's the only guy who will talk to her and she's desperate. But this is a show that was written by a guy who admits to being depressed and not understanding women. So really, we shouldn't be thinking too deep about it.
Hunter Myers
>She comes off as someone who only pursued Shinji not because she harbored any feelings, but because he was a means to an end
Gonna be a hard "disagree" on this one for me, chief. I simply don't see the character that way and it would require a convincing, well-evidenced argument to make me think otherwise.
Ultimately the cast of Eva all suffer from one problem in common - they all focus on their own problems much more than other people's problems. Well, I think it's very rare to find someone that doesn't do this irl, but it leads to a large number of the conflicts in Eva. Asuka falls victim to that too, and she's certainly looking to benefit from a potential romance in ways other than the romance itself, but that doesn't mean it's not "real" in my view.
Let's take a hypothetical example where Shinji died after, idk, magmadiver or something. He got burned to shit and died in hospital after pulling Asuka out. I agree that Asuka would get over it, but "forgotten"? I doubt that.
None of Asuka's actions tell me that she doesn't care about Shinji personally, basically. And many of them make me think she does care. She tries to get him to open up quite a lot, tries to poke and prod him into action, she's genuinely concerned when he gets hurt, deliberately refuses to tell him about the pilot of EVA-03 to avoid hurting him, praises him when he actually does do things right (rare as that might be) that don't involve her unfortunate trigger of having to be the best pilot, lots of little things like that which indicate fondness. I'd like to talk about the final scene of EoE, and how I think the ultimate meaning of it can be summed up as "acceptance and understanding" - and those two are DAMN rare in this show - but I acknowledge that it's ambiguous enough that you don't have to come to that conclusion. These are enough to convince me that she does view Shinji as someone special, and I DEFINITELY don't think she would consider him "disposable" and toss him aside.
Carson Perez
This. The whole point is that they start out not being able to be apart from each other due to Shinji thinking Asuka could possibly give him some positive attention that he's desperate for and Asuka because she's bored but over the coarse of the series they grow to hate each other ending with Shinji choking her because she won't give him the positive attention he wants. I love Shinji and Asuka as characters but outside of cute fanart they really don't work as a couple at all because they both hate each other.
Shinji only works well with Kaworu in the anime. He hates Asuka and only sees her sexually by the end and is extremely terrified of Rei by the end.

>Shinji only works well with Kaworu in the anime
This is the worst fucking pairing in the entirety of Eva.
Shinji would've latched onto a fucking shoe if he thought it smiled at him in the state he was in by episode 24. He was absolutely desperate for affection after feeling betrayed by the world over and over.
Kaworu meanwhile knows the whole time that he will end up fighting Shinji to the death eventually, but chooses to get close to him anyway. Fucking asshole move by him which I put down to the fact that he never really loved Shinji at all - he loved humanity, and viewed Shinji as a representation of humanity. His actions can be legitimately viewed as the result of loving humanity, but he is immensely cruel to Shinji personally.
>He hates Asuka and only sees her sexually
Not true, which is why he is still wanting her back ("Call me an idiot like you always do!") and, after being almost unaffected by everything since Kaworu's death, fucking loses his shit when he sees that Asuka has been torn to shreds.
I mean really. "Hate"? Give me a break. The only thing preventing them from having a breakthrough and seeking strength in each other, with the possibility of advancing to real romance, is mutual fear. Fear of saying what you really think, fear of "exposing" yourself first, fear of giving the other the ability to hurt them emotionally. This is what defines Shinji and Asuka in NGE to me, like a board game where both players are too conservative and no real progress is made.
That's why the mutual risks taken in the final scene of EoE, and the brief moment of TRUE understanding I believe they share then, are so important. That's where we get the payoff, the proof that happiness is possible for anyone in my view.

The whole point is that Kaworu fell in love with Shinji though and that's why in the end he let Shinji kill him because he wanted Shinji to live. The whole point of Shinji and Kaworu's relationship is that it's a tragic one but in the end Kaworu never wanted to harm him.
>after being almost unaffected by everything since Kaworu's death
He literally has to be dragged around by Misato by the arm because he can't bring himself to do anything after Kaworu dies and the only time he's actually happy during the entire film is when he sees Kaworu again. Shinji wants to be close to Asuka but she denies him that because she doesn't love Shinji and that's why he masterbated to her, he could only view her as a sexual object and all he had left were his simple sexual urges because Kaworu's death had left him in such a deep depression.
As for Asuka's side, she pretty deeply despises Shinji, the entire movie of EOE has a lot to do with that and if you pay attention that's the main reason why Shinji chokes her.

I don't believe they ever really hated each other after lord knows how many times I've seen the show, and you can't convince me otherwise. At worst they are frustrated with each other, quite often. In EoE for example Asuka's biggest complain about Shinji before 3I is that he isn't there being his typical "invincible" self when it matters most.
Now if you'll excuse me it's almost 6 am here and although I love this series I can get tired of discussing it.

>Shinji chokes Asuka and Asuka makes it extremely clear by the end that she can't stand him
Asuka was bored and thought that maybe she could get close to Shinji because they lived in the same house, hence the kiss and Shinji thought he could relate to her and help her with her problems making him feel better in the process, the problem is that they're too similar yet different because of the way they handle their problems and because of that they couldn't understand each other and bring nothing but problems to each other.

I summed it up hereBasically Shinji wanted to be close to Asuka and assumed she wanted the same, and when they started hating each other he was so upset by it that his only reaction was to choke her.
The whole scene is meant to be a call back to when they kissed but it's after they have all their 'feelings' revealed if you will and aren't hiding and pretending that they could get along.
Charles Watson
The problem is shippers ignore their relationship because they want to self-insert into Shinji.
Aiden Brooks
Exactly. I hate when people water down Shinji to a self insert and water down Asuka into a 'I can change her with my love' character. Since they're both a lot more complex than that and it ruins the point of both of their characters.
Nathaniel Thompson
i mean like, substantiate it — what leads you to this reading of events, how does it fit into the structure and thematic overtones of the film as you see them?
Nolan Richardson
Anons, I love Asuka so much... it's been so many years and I still do... but she isn't real... and furthermore, I've never felt love for a real human bean, I just don't care about them like I do for her.
How the fuck do I deal with this shit? I just want her to be happy. It's been years and years and I can't get over it.
Fuck.

Good to see that the younger generations still appreciate and care to discuss old-school master-pieces like Evangelion. Keep it up, kids, you're doing great. The future of anime is in your hands and it is very very bright

>Rei x Shinji
disgusting, Shinji sees her as a sister/mother figure at the beginning and is terrified of her by the end.
This is why we gotta take the Reifags to the gulag.
Mason Harris
Image would be better without arbitrary coupling, but I think it is nice to see the Eva-youth doing something nice like dancing with the flags of several nations on the background, instead of, you know, fighting bad aliens, amongst themselves or *themselves*... nice is the keyword here, user, niceness, fraternity and nothing more... that's what Evangelion and anime are all about in the end, aren't they?

Both Rei and Misato are cold-blooded killers, Asuka's just a punk.
Jason Long
Fellow kaworufags, how can we possibly recover from this? Why would Anno choose to make it CANON that Kaworu doesn't love Shinji romantically? I am literally bawling my eyes out. Evangelion was supposed to be for us. Homosexuals just wanted this one little thing and it was taken away from us. Sigh!
Christopher Barnes
It's always been canon you literal fag. Kaworu loves humanity, mankind; he sees Shinji as its embodiment
Jackson Moore
>draft episode
>canon
Isn't that also the draft that also basically confirms Shinji for gay, while in the final product he's more bisexual? Hardly the greatest evidence in support of Shinji/Asuka or Shinji/Rei, is it?

Damn, her default hairstyle is really the only one that works. Other than that G is the only one that looks cute.
Anthony Foster
This is not a good photo, her jaw is too far forward
Mason Hernandez
Default or I. She cleans herself but she's not going to care about impractical grooming, long or styled hair makes her look like somebody's kept doll.

Thomas Bell
Indeed. The long hairstyle with bangs looks cute, but it does not fit her character. Medium is best.

She's not a lesbian mate. Default, F or if if you were to go for a long style maybe G. The rest draw too much attention to her fivehead.

She's not a lesbian but canonically she doesn't care at all for grooming or anything but basic personal hygiene. That means a complex hairstyle or one that needs a lot of care is out of the question.

She should be, to have her birthday and still be born after Second Impact. No thought was put into the characters's dates of birth, though, they were just assigned the same ones as their seiyuu after the show finished, I think they might have been provided in a booklet for sale in the lobbies of theaters showing EoE. 14 is just kinda treated like a flat age for Children.

No, because she only has Yui's body but not her soul, and she's not even an exact clone since she has DNA from Lilith.
Adrian Lewis

Caleb Nguyen
He could step back whenever he wants and let it be made without him, just let it generate money for him for no effort, and he hasn't done that, either. Eva's still important enough that he refuses to give up control, or every excuse he's ever made for it not getting done has been a total lie and something else is holding it up.

Julian Garcia
More like over-read into things because they are stuck in their shipping mindset.
He hasn't been in the threads lately, so threads would be alot worse with that guy vs the dollfag.
Adrian Mitchell
Because Shinji was edging her out and he didn't train all his life to be an Eva pilot and he doesn't think that being one is the meaning of his life. Which means that all of Asuka's effort counts for shit in the face of his talent and Shinji is unknowingly taking a dump all over the only thing that makes her valuable.

Andrew Diaz
Being a prodigy made him just barely good enough to be her peer, she started showing off to him after hearing about that. She got mad at the praise he'd get for any improvement and Misato coddling him. By the time she was going nuts, Shinji had returned from the dead after everybody fawned over him for a month and he wasn't disturbed by that at all, he was getting on fine at the same time she was upset by everything and her results were degrading.

I want to see poor Askei's heart break when she feels that she's powerless to stop Reska from replacing her and she's not even needed for Eva piloting, and left wondering why she was even cloned in the first place. And you just know that Ritsko's barbs would wreck her.

Lincoln Baker

IIRC an art book said Shinji was confirming if he was still in instrumentality (seeing if she was real or not), but I personally think it's more a metaphorical thing alongside her caress showing that humans could harm and help each other again.

Charles Hernandez
There as many people as the impression you got from seeing Asuka and Shinji waiting at the edge of the sea they emerged from.
Gabriel Butler
I want this to be edited to make asuka look 9 months pregnant.
Caleb Stewart
Other humans can come back under the same conditions as Shinji and Asuka. We don't know just how many people come back from Instrumentality, though. The final scene doesn't show us anything outside of Hakone.
Christian Hughes
no one knows but Anno. Maybe. Hell, he almost certainly doesn't either.
Time is hinted to have passed from Shinji waiting, and we know there was a removed scene of Asuka showing up at the shore and kicking down the grave post Shinji set up for her.
Rei says others could come back, but it doesn't mean they will. They might just stay in instrumentality. Or they could come back over years and years of waiting.
William Perry
They can't stay in Instrumentality, because Shinji ended it. It's either stay as disembodied souls or reembody.
