>"How “Neon Genesis Evangelion” Reimagined Our Relationship to Machines"

>In one episode, Shinji imagines the women he knows naked, seducing him; in others, two female pilots are penetrated by Angels in the form of phallic beams of light
>Like another, more recent mecha, “Darling in the Franxx,” a clear descendent of “Evangelion,” in which adolescent boy-girl pairs (suggestively called “stamens” and “pistils”) pilot the mechas in an indiscreet meeting of human sexuality and technology, “Evangelion” conflates the process of human maturation with militaristic advancement.
Thoughts, Yea Forums?
New Yorker article on Evangelion
Pseud shit, Lain did the sci-fi aspect better
That's a very surface-level analysis. Shinji is horny, who cares, the kid's 14.
kill yourself.
Its more like the last 3 angels raped them all.
Asuka has her mind raped.
Rei is physically raped.
Shinji gets homo raped up the ass.
I hope you idiots know that normies didn’t see this series ok Netflix and go “ohh I’m going to try this out” because they didn’t. They’d drop this shot five seconds in because of how old it looks. The only people who watched it are curious old Eva fans. That’s it.
The wave of misinterpeted articles I've seen on eva really goes to show that these people are idiots.
If they interpret eva this badly imagine what else they're writing.
>mentioning franxx
I'm fucking cringing so damn hard this shit is unreal
>mentioning eureka 7
based article
When I was in highschool I brought in Eva DVDs for the anime club to watch and even back in 2011 then they complained it was too old looking. Even though a lot of adults will take a pass zoomers are obsessed with the nineties right now.
Eva is pretentious entry level crap.
The same folks who find it deep say the same about the kiddie pool they swim in.
Describes me perfectly. This would be my 3rd time through it. Glad it's on Netflix.
At least Franxx was good and not some pseudoshit
What’s your top 5 anime homeboy? Oh, not gonna respond because you’re a fucking dick sucking troll? Too bad.
lain is garbage
My top five and whatever I stack it with doesn’t change the fact that Eva is overrated garbage user.
>the newyorker covers anime now
How long until anime and manga are completely ruined?
>too old looking
It fucking hurts
Luckily eva was my first anime
Same as I, I also enjoy shitting on the old dub VA's
I've gotta admit... you have a point. Gay, homosexual anime, aimed exclusively at women and homosexuals is much better suited for Yea Forums. Really, you're completely right. An anime aimed at straight men like Serial Experiments Lain, has no place here. I'd go as far as to say any anime with attractive women, just isn't suited for Yea Forums's demographics, which is largely effeminate transexual/homosexuals, and fat girls from tumblr. So, you have my apologizes, for mentioning an anime that must be very unpleasant for you to think about
anime has been in the mainstream for years now. Why do you think Netflix is throwing so much cash at anime projects as of late?
>nah i'm not an npc i watch animeee & read manga
yeah yeah whatever helps you sleep at night ya fuckin' zoomer
have they seen any television lately?
Eva wasn’t my first anime but during that time people had either watched it on Cartoon Network or had some DVDs. I got into it because of nearly everyone in my friend group passing the DVDs around to watch and discuss together, which was a lot of fun.
Both are.
Its probably already been discussed, but I'm late as always.
Why did Netflix censored Kaworu "I love you?" I mean, what are their motives behind it? Netflix is known for gay shit and being SJW, so why this time they decided to do the opposite? I need to know, it's driving me crazy, whats their endgame? Is it to highlight the scene, make people talk about it, make people research it, in a kind of sick twisted "see bigots there was gay shi in the 90's stop being prejudice"? I mean, the scene did get a lot more attention than it would get otherwise, is that it?
Typical retarded Aquaposter.
>dub
Their motive is that they took a more literal translation.
Watching it for the first time in years. Although some parts of it are more beautiful than I remember, I can’t help but hate Shinji all over again. Sure, his dad is an ass and he’s put in a bad situation at fourteen, but his loneliness is his own doing. He’s an awkward sperg and then whines about it afterward.
You don't seem to understand.
It was my first REAL anime, and as a very religious person the title attracted me
Here I am now, still retarded but at least I have my chinese cartoons and waifu wars
Translation wasn't handled by Netflix and the translator who worked on this sub made them closer to the Japanese so it was more of a transliteration than a translation.
Apparently it's more accurate, but the way it was translated creates very awkward phrasing in English.
>In one episode, Shinji imagines the women he knows naked, seducing him; in others, two female pilots are penetrated by Angels in the form of phallic beams of light
Really faggot you go for these farfetched "phallic lightbeams" when End of Eva LITERALLY HAS SHINJI'S MOM FUCK REI (and Kaworu) FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S TOO MUCH OF A BETA BITCH TO ACTUALLY FUCK HIS OWN MOM'S CLONE GODDAMN JUST DICK SOMEBODY SHINJI, FUCK
>Evangelion invented the horny teenager in a mecha genre
Could eva threads be moved to Yea Forums now that its owned by netflix?
Bullshit, "suki" has a deeper meaning than "like", it may not mean "love" every time, but certainly means very strong feelings. And about the "grace" bullshit, why no one ever translated it like that before ever? This dub was the great genius no one ever was before? I dont think so, I watched this shit with many subs and a few dubs, no one ever did go that way, so I call it BS.
There's more to it, I'm sure, but can't put my finger on "why", my best guess is what I said it before, they did it to blow it out of proportion and give it the spotlight, and it worked.

Japan sees women as nothing but sex objects. It's no deeper than that.
>give spotlight to something you fucked up
Sounds like a great business strategy.
Nothing outs a pseud that when he starts making out everything to be “phallic”.
Why are philosophers always thinking of dicks?
what happens when they find the schoolgirl anime
Why do people rate this anime? Shinji is a nihilist edgelord that never develops into anything else. He’s as flat as a character can get
Nobody likes me!!!
>Spergs out and cranks one out to unconscious girls
Look at how painful existence is ;__;
Holy shit, people are still arguing about EVA?
It is literally a show about of emotionally fragile people and how they depend on others too much.
This is right. There is no sexual imagery in Evangelion.
The fucking up was intentional to give it the spotlight. No one would blink an eye otherwise, now everyone is talking about it, and looking at shinjo buttering Kaworu images they stumble upon while researching. Brilliant if you ask me. Its not about the money, it never was, they already have all the money in the world.
"worthy of his grace" is in no way more literal
Thats the "ofiicial statement" excuse being used, in other words, they're shills. You seem like a reasonable guy, tell me, why do you think they did this? What is their ulterior motive?
Correct.
Digimon Tamers was far superior than Lain. I don't know what he was smoking but it was bad shiet
This is what happens when a whole generation of Humanities students end up getting jobs writing articles for the fucking New Yorker
From what Ive been seeing its because Khara came down harder on the Netflix localization because they weren't particularly fond of the liberties taken in Funimation's initial 3.0 script. They went for a more literal translation despite the "suki" being more ambiguous in terms of translation. I dunno how true this is, but its just stuff I'd seen in a number of places so far.
Here is the translation from sephirotic of that lines. I have never heard anyone complain about it.
"regards" is hardly more gay than "grace".
Not more literal, but more close to the Japanese translation as possible. you can't literally translate anything from EN to JP. Nothing was indeed censored at all.
Localization its something I theorized about, hence 4kids shenanigans. But still, Netflix have too much money to give a shit, I still think the motives were obscure I just can't seem to put my finger on it.
Netflix didn't want to pull a 4kids, and this is the result of not doing it.
3.0 + 1.0 when?
Shin Godzilla is dead, Anno.
You said 3.0 + 1.0 soon, Anno.
Where is it, Anno?
>they weren't particularly fond of the liberties taken in Funimation's initial 3.0 script
Or rather they weren't fond of the crowd reaction from the script. The initial translation screened at cons apparently overplayed a great deal of the Kaw/Shin to almost comical levels which resulted in the audience laughing and whatnot. Khara wasnt wild about that reaction and figured that Funi fucked the tone with a dopey translation and had them redo it, thats why the US BD release was delayed for 3.33. I'd seen some mentions about how how Khara got full rights to Eva from Gainax after 3.0 came out and that Anno may have had more input himself as a result. This is all just from various forum posts and tweets so take this with a grain of salt. Personally, script aside, the voice direct and casting was still lacking in a lot of ways.
The official time is sometime 2020.
You no deserve it gaijin
Eva was mistaku
>Neon Genesis Evanjellyon
Then why did you remake it, baka?
About 6 or 7 years now. There's been nothing worth watching for years.
I was need yen for dakimakura and figure
I've never watched Evangelion so I'm going to take this article as fact.
The increasing necessity of foreign licensing fees to turn a profit in the industry are the canary in the coal mine. We're just two or three years away from licensing fees eclipsing secondary JDM sales as the single largest revenue source.
The only good news is that licensing isn't being driven from a single country.
Then why didn't you just stick to the fuckin original story instead of neko-eva-02, ni-baka?
user, fucking Forbes has a guy who ONLY submits gundams and some random weeb related articles.
I don't think you know what transliteration means.
This. Angel Cop as a sub is pretty good, but is anti-semitic so the US audience can’t have that . The licensed bastardized dub version makes it shit.
someone out there who probably doesn't have a clue what anime is, watched Eva on netflix in the last days..at least i hope
Eva fans deserve punishment
Eva fans no understanding Eva
Lot of that going around now
I think its time for an anime #metoo movement
No, anything but that.
I saw the original 3.0 translation in theaters, and I can’t say Khara’s misgivings are entirely unfounded. That being said, the new translation is pretty fucking bad.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE
ITS NOT THAT FUCKING DEEP
I too, deeply care for what nonanime publications think of anime for they're the most qualified to discuss the topic.
>reading the jew yorker
>even caring what they think
afraid of sharing your shitty list?
I hope you decided to disassociate yourself with those plebs.
Shit like that is like the film club not liking the Godfather because "it's too dark"
>franxx
>good
You have pretty low standards, huh?
>jew yorker
Holy shit, all of these fucking news outlets that paywall their online content in the most aggressive way possible are fucking cancer.
>censored
The absolute state of faggot shippers. That's the real translation and always has been. Anno's bitchboy translator at Khara himself made this new correct translation probably because he was tired of retards like you misunderstanding the relationship between the two.
>How long until anime and manga are completely ruined?
Since you started watching anime and reading manga
