It's literally spelled out that they had a thing for each other .Problem is both of them are too fucking traumatized and complete fucking spergs to actually do anything about it.

I think he referring to a group interview with the VA's. They said that Kaworu is Shinji's most suitable partner in a jokingly manner.

Asuka did significantly more than Shinji. She crawled into bed with him and tried to kiss him. Also made a bunch of attempts to open up to him.

But, for a person who had been rejected by not one but two mothers, the idea of someone loving her was too alien. She interpreted everything he did as a rejection.

It could have been like that, but it was never going to be because of the circumstances they're in.
Things could be much better if we weren't basket cases living through the end of the world is on of Eva's big themes.

It was your generic tsundere romance that was pointing out tsundere romances are actually stupid and both parties involved would end up resenting each other

It totally is tho, Shinji has shit taste

Because it's not straightforward. Both of them have mental issues too great for them to be able to form a proper romantic relationship with each other. But with a lot of effort at sorting out their issues, it could work.

She did make some attempts, but they were pretty ham-fisted attempts and not the right approach to work on someone like Shinji.

Shinji was just too self absorbed to notice that Asuka was both hurting and trying to make a connection with him

>She did make some attempts, but they were pretty ham-fisted attempts and not the right approach to work on someone like Shinji.
Plausibly deniable attempts (I was only kissing you as a test!/I totally sleepwalked into your bed, honest!) are the only way to soften the fear of rejection. If she just blatantly said she liked him, she could get turned down for a doll... again, reopening the maternal wounds.

I mean, romantic relationships don't really happen when you are 13/14. They are nowhere mature enough yet.

>gets turned down for a doll
>AGAIN
Shit I never thought of that.

Rei seems to accuse him of that in these scene.

I wonder why Rei was never sympathetic to Asuka before instrumentality? Their adversarial relationship wasn't justified in the show IMO, it was basically a marketing/aesthetic thing. Rei opines to Shinji about how she has "a bond to all humans", but there's one enduring abject suffering right under her nose, and she rubs salt in the wound?

Attached: understand.webm (1280x720, 2.92M)

Baka Shinji...

Not at an age mature enough to risk their life fighting alien monsters, but they are forced to manage.
They still seek comfort out from others, and sexual attraction is a new route to explore getting it when all other avenues have been fruitless.

Wait until you realize that Asuka wasn't obsessed with Shinji making her bento before school and holding her for just any reason, but because those are things a mother would do.

In general, a lot of her attraction to Shinji probably owes to his outwardly maternal nature. He's walking around Misato's place in an apron cooking food for everyone.

Attached: asuka at kyoko's funeral.jpg (1440x1080, 728K)

I wonder what she really said there? She might have said "child," harkening back to the time he was about to kiss her, but then stopped and said "You're just a child yourself." - an oddly biting insult for Asuka, although he didn't know it.

Rei doesn't really know how to interact with others socially.
When Asuka asks if she'll be friends with her, Rei doesn't react well to Asuka's blunt method, and turns her down seeing no need for it.

By the time Rei makes some attempt, its a half-assed explanation on how Evas work since Rei is likely forbidden from telling Shinji/Asuka the real truth, and Asuka is in zero mood to take any advice from Rei who never cared before.

Damn, that's a really good point. Never thought about that.

rei tries to offer her advice in the elevator, in her own way. it completely backfires of course, but she doesn't ever seem to dislike asuka except when she's badmouthing shinji, which is like the scene where she slaps him. their respective baggage and wildly different personalities probably would've stopped them from being close even in better circumstances, but they still seemed friendly enough around the series' midpoint high water mark

Attached: it's not like that.webm (1440x1080, 2.96M)

I always thought it was "You're just a doll", and the camera pans to Shinji to throw you off that she is talking about Rei.

Even SIRP makes this aspect of Asuka's relationship with Shinji sad when it comes to her home life.

Attached: 1559959496285.jpg (985x3210, 1.15M)

Rei blew her off from the first moment they met. Asuka actually introduced herself and asked to be friends (albeit in her own egoist way.) It was a way more pleasant meeting than spaghetti Shinji barging in, snooping through her shit and groping her tits, yet she warmed to Shinji instantly and instantly seemed to dislike Asuka.

I think he noticed that she's hurting, but just didn't understand her well enough to do anything about it. Probably even if he did, he wouldn't be up to sorting out her problems for her when he can't even sort out his own for himself.

Pretty much what I mean by their respective mental issues being too great for it to work. Not without each of them getting better first.

There are plenty of signs throughout the show that Rei just doesn't like Asuka. Why not is another matter, but one can definitely have a bond with someone but still not especially like them. Nonetheless, Rei *does* reach out to Asuka in the elevator scene, but Asuka was in no mood to take advice from her.

>I know about your jerk of fantasies
Is this implying Shinji has jerked off to her before the hospital scene?

>IT'S NOT LIKE THAT
The 3rd Rebuild confirmed it likely never was. She fucking hates him in that movie.

Based Toji

>Pretty much what I mean by their respective mental issues being too great for it to work. Not without each of them getting better first.

There's only one alternative: for them to mind-dive each other and find out, through direct examination of their thoughts, that they really do care about one another. That's the only way the fear of rejection could be avoided. Shinji has his own fear of rejection, owing to his father abandoning him.

Good thing nothing like that happened in Evangelion... ha... ha ha...

Well fucking hell this is what I get for phoneposting

In a former draft of EoE, Shinji didn't masturbate onto Asuka. Instead the scene was much more abstract. It showed Shinji in his room, and you could hear him masturbating, and then "a full shot of dew becoming breasts." So, probably, yes.

Also, relevant

>Nakata: That reminds me, in the old movie version there was a scene where Shinji was masturbating. How was that recorded?

>Ogata: Hahaha. It’s obvious but that was my first time doing something like that (laughs). I thought to myself that I can’t get this wrong just because I’m female! So I talked to Tachiki Fumihiko who voices Gendou and said “Dad, this is my first time, I’m not sure if I will be able to do this right. So if I got it wrong, please tell me” (in Shinji voice)

>Nakata: Hahaha!

>Ogata: After recording ended, we went “How did I do, dad?” “You did well, Shinji” “Yes! I got praised by my dad!”

This is Asuka's seiyuu we're talking about here. Obviously Anno would be coaching her about her character to assure she voices the character right.

It makes perfect sense for Anno to tell the actors a bit about their characters' so they can portray them properly.

>Rei's VA: For Rei-chan, it'd be Ikari Gendo I guess. (Shudders)

Of course, that's why we see Kaworu repeating the line he was supposed to say in the ep24 draft. And it makes complete sense for his character - of course an eldritch god doesn't mean he wants to fuck assholes when he says he loves someone. He reproduces by budding, he has no sexuality.

The script calls it hair.

Yes, it's meta, but it was also written by Anno, so I don't know why Kaworu would go from being gay to not being gay. He's just not gay. Or even sexual at all probably.

It's not my fault you get so angry at staff quotes, I can't find any interview by Sadamoto or Anno talking about Asuka and Shinji or else I would post them, I can only find ones talking about Kaworu and Shinji.

Nice try, but no. It's not because of skill / talent etc. It's only because his mom is Japanese and taking over the Eva whenever he gets btfo. None of the girls who watched the anime think of him as a chad. It's like a spoiled brat whose parents buy him everything.

Asuka has 1 solo kill (8th Angel).

Rei has 2 solo kills, though one involved the hax lance, and the other was a self-destruct draw.

I don't understand this ship but now I want it to happen in rebuild just to see the massive salt it would cause

1&2 are pretty decent, but you can feel the lack of meat caused by the cinematic format. Also has a pointless character called Mari.

3 is quite retarded. There is nothing good about it, besides action scenes, which is not what Eva is about.

The final scene will be Shinji and Asuka having sex

>The final scene

They'll probably meet again at the same school Shinji is applying for.

Right after Shinji meets Kensuke at the train station and finds out they are going to the same place.
Rule of anime plots dictate Asuka is too.

The point is you're relying on 'probably's, just like with EoE. You never see anything happen between them on screen, it's all something you have to imagine/predict in fanfics and doujins.

First 30 seconds is sex, then Shinji prematurely ejaculates and the rest of the film is him crying about it.

Why am I so attracted to bitchy anime girls when I would fucking hate to actually have to interact with them

If choking is winning then I guess Kaworu won in ep 24

Shinji & Asuka chose to go back to Earth and regain their individuality, rather than stay in the soul gestalt.
Shinji immediately tries to choke Asuka to determine if he is outside instrumentality and rejection is possible again.
Asuka strokes his cheek for whatever reason, maybe as a sort of nonverbal "yes, and so is acceptance" tempered reply
credits roll, everyone inside instrumentality (all the souls in the black moon) get transported through an eye of guf into the next timeline

It's odd Shinji wouldn't interpret her acceptance of him as meaning he is still in instrumentality

I guess that is true, in terms of solo achievements. Still, I think Shinji tended more key in the group efforts.

She wants to ravage him.

He wouldn't be able to choke her if he was in instrumentality. He'd automatically accept her instead.
I guess she's just reminding him that the real world isn't pure suffering either, which makes him break down.

>changing love to like erases any traces of gayness from the relationship
You fags and fujos are such retarded drama queens with persecution complex. Even with the change of the word the context from all the other scenes is still there and is enough for possible confused homolust interpretations on Shinji's side. Of course you're just dense cunts that want to start drama and turn attention to yourselves over every little thing.
Nothing has really changed. At most it skews the percentage of those who believe it's full on faggotry to ambiguity and platonic emotional closeness by like 5%

Of fucking course, too bad Anno will write their chances away.
I'm expecting a chocking scene in reverse

They definitely had strong emotions for each other, but were extremely broken inside.
The instrumentality trigger was a the rejection.

If they get better after EoE is up for you to decide.

Take it with a grain of salt, but it seems to me that every FAR artifact is basically a mechanism for timeline resetting:

The black moon is a timeline space-ship that is programmed to move into the next timeline and crash into the Earth, populating it with the souls of Lilin (taken from the past timeline.)
That's "first impact".

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a recipe for a timeline. They detail the rough events and map out how to initiate Third Impact, which resets the timeline.

The Lances of Longinus are sentient, we know this from the Antarctica incident and from their behavior around awakened gods and Evas. They transform themselves to assist at the moment of Third Impact to assist in some crucial way. I personally think there's a chance the Lances of Longinus are FAR themselves.

Haha imagine if 4.0's ending is just Shinji and Asuka post-EoE being miserable cunts to each other for five minutes having clearly resolved none of their major issues and it ends in a screaming match, the last shot being Shinji tearing up on the couch alone before smash cutting to the credits, wouldn't that be hilarious

Nice headcanon. Or just plain stupidity.
The only character that can be argued isnt in instrumentality is Gendo. Everyone else is, by definition.
It just so happens Shinji and Yui kinda got a special treatment inside instrumentality, as they caused instrumentality

Nah, but it's 99.99% sure to be Anno who wrote about it in NGE2.

shinji is afraid of rejection and pain, he lashes out. asuka responds with a small comforting gesture because both pain and love are inherent to individual existence, the hedgehogs huddle and stay warm, roll credits

I genuinely don't think that's possible after instrumentality, they know each other too well.
It would be like screaming at yourself.

Yeah but what if Anno just wants us to go fuck ourselves

No. That was from a PS2 game or more specifically a set of documents called "Classified Information" that Anno was interviewed for.

Yeah, but i hope you arent associating that to time travel.
He stepped on NERV 100% sure that he would either he would destroy humanity or would die as a martyr for it, probably depending on the interactions he would have with the humans.

The only person who could kill him is the third child, with the last operational EVA. He was calling him "late" for their duel

Then we better get our dildos ready.

So you're saying the last scene will be Asuka and Shinji jerking off while watching each other?

I don't totally buy that, given Kaworu drops another timeline-hinting line in Rebuild ("This time I will, at least, make you happy.")

The only reason Asuka even gives a shit about Shinji is he had the pilot thing over her thanks to the shitty plot not because there's anything attractive about the disgusting person himself who fapped over Asuka's body.

If he didn't have that status Asuka would not give a shit about him at all, and look for the next person of status she can get validation from.

If you ship Asuka with Shinji it is obvious that you're self-inserting into Shinji and utilizing Eva as an escapist fantasy where a pretty girl with high social status would give a shit about you.

It's pure garbage and it means nothing,

Because Evas move too fast and have no sense of weight to them. Also because most of the Angel's designs are dogshit.

That's kind of the point; it's a "barely hanging on" type story, not a "kicking the enemy's arse easily" type story.

I agree that it's pure garbage, but there is a coherent plot, including to 3.0 and its timeskip.
The lack of time in the movie format ruined the characters and made it feel not very Eva-esque, that's the main problem. And there is too much focus on action, particularly in 3.0.

Beach scene but Asuka rapes and then kills Shinji

There's a happy balance. You can build up that formidable opponent so that when they finally do beat them in the end it's extremely satisfying. But when you never have that payoff you're going to lose the audience. EoE was that point for me? What kind of stooge ends their series with the main characters dying horribly brutal deaths. But of course I'm just a shounenbab who couldn't appreciate the deep symbolism and subversion of our expectations.

Depressed ones, usually.

Yeah i call bullshit. Hes not the boy she had a crush on anymore. Hes the one who ruined her life.

EoE has probably the best fight scene in any mecha anime, a peerlessly animated 1v13 against terrific opponents. The fact that you hate it because it ended on a technical loss tells me that you actually DO watch shounen and you actually would only be satisfied if Shinji effortlessly carved through every angel-of-the-week with his special protagonist powers.

Just started rebuilds again. Dub actors are infinitely worse here than Netflix. I'll have to watch a few episodes of old dub to finish my analysis.

Giving he's literally responsible for ending the world twice? If he doesn't kill anyone else they're going to be the one to kill him. Wunder crew is going to fucking lynch him for what he did.

Killing your main characters is fucking stupid unless you intentionally want to make the audience feel bad. Which was exactly what he wanted.
>you rike cute girr? too bad here death

He wasn't responsible for shit. He didn't know anything either time it happened. That's one of the major flaws of 3.0, everyone treats the protagonist like a leper - which is good, and distinctly Evangelion - but it isn't justified at all, it feels very forced

You are being a faggot. It waa clear from episode 25 that everyone would die in EoE, but instrumentality being effectively an afterlife would play a large role on the characters development.
Asuka died as a warrior, besides the woman she loved the most. Even if she lost, she should have no regrets about her death (she can have regretd for the rest of her life, tho)
Misato also was very similar. She got shot saving shinji. Her final moments were giving him a little extra strength and asking kaji if she did the right thing. She died with RESOLVE. Given how bad things were, this is absolutely a best case scenario for both of them. They completed their arc and achieved closure for the problems of their lives before dying an heroic death.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Evangelion feels like a missed opportunity to be truly great had they changed two aspects.
1. Make the characters grow in a positive way instead of spiraling into themselves and becoming even more mentally unstable as the series goes on.
2. A more satisfying ending with a triumph over the foe that had been built up instead of a bunch of psychological symbolism and bizarre visuals. The message Anno wanted to convey took precedence over the actual story of the show and it suffered for it. Even though artistically it's very good, it's the anime equivalent of modern art. On it's own merit it conveys nothing to the view but bizarre sexual and violent imagery, unless you insist it had some deeper meaning like an Andy Warhol painting.
>inb4 someone lectures me about the deep meaning of cans of soup

Fuck off shonentard

wizzerked ya mark

narrative elements serve thematic purpose in all fiction with an idea to tell (ie: all fiction) the issue you are actually having is with the synergy of in-universe and metanarrative layers, which is admittedly poor. thinking that the other elements of fiction, the actual meat of fiction, should be beholden to the plot of all things is embarrassing. the plot and the narrative are vessels for the story being told, and yes they should be approached with the same level of craftsmanship as the rest of a work, but ultimately they're tools the same as any other element, visual audio, temporal, ect.

It sounds like you want a show with a plot and characters that can be digested in one sitting, a big bad guy who the good guys kill in the end, and a generic feel-good ending. There are lots of shows like that already.

And I disagree: Evangelion was truly great, because Anno did what he did with it. If what you want is your "happily ever after", there's countless other shows where you can get that. The message Anno wanted to convey isn't one that everyone's going to appreciate, but those who do appreciate it a lot.

Asuka's death was incredibly tasteless. You can kill a beloved character to illicit strong emotion from the viewer but when it's as graphic as seeing Unit 2 ripped to shreds it just leaves the viewer with a sick feeling in their stomach. Imagine if Guyver had ended with the scene where he gets the control metal ripped out of his head.

I'd call it a bittersweet ending rather than a happy ending. But I do agree that it's not right to call it a downer ending.

youtu.be/Ra5-H9ZBS1U?t=52

Happy for who? The main characters? The world in Evangelion in general? The viewer?
It's different for the three of those so I don't think you can just say if the ending is happy or depressing in general because it's inconsistent for the parties involved.

The only bitter thing about it is the world being destroyed. Every character is happier and healthier than they've ever been, even the two at Hakone.

The ending is just wallowing in self pity and Shinji being a little faggot refusing to mature despite the congraturation scene that was supposed to symbolize exactly that. Also lmao genitalia.

>Every character is happier and healthier than they've ever been
Shinji was completely wrecked not only because of killing Kaworu but also because he could potentially kill a random person he did not know when he had to attack eva-04. Whether he meant it or not hundreds of millions of people were erased to a fate unknown by his actions. As far as he, an individual on Earth, is concerned they are fucking dead. Hell you can even interpret his strangling of Asuka as an act of such self-hatred over his huge fuckup that he can't even have any other person that is a reminder of it until she shows forgiveness is possible.

Shinji came to terms with killing Kaworu in instrumentality, it was a whole part of the original ending.

>Whether he meant it or not hundreds of millions of people were erased to a fate unknown by his actions
He fully knew what he was doing, and he later elected to give them the option to come back. Seemingly almost no one did, because instrumentality is quite a swell place.

>Hell you can even interpret his strangling of Asuka as an act of such self-hatred over his huge fuckup
He started strangling Asuka to test whether he was finally outside of instrumentality, where acts of rejection are impossible.

>He started strangling Asuka to test whether he was finally outside of instrumentality, where acts of rejection are impossible.
I guess he's retarded.

Gym Watkins seized the 2ch domain from Hiroyuki, so Hiroyuki sued Gym and when it looked like he was going to win, he created 5ch and had 2ch redirect there to avoid giving up the 2ch userbase. Hiroyuki won the case, but the 2ch domain is still in Gym's hands.
If you're wondering who Gym is, he also owns 8ch.

He spent weeks on some beach with evidence of battles that physically happened that's clearly on actual earth, putting up grave markers, presumably eating and shit. He knew he was not in instrumentality

You have no idea how long he was there. The movie gives no reason to believe it was long.

>He started strangling Asuka to test whether he was finally outside of instrumentality, where acts of rejection are impossible.
There's much better ways of doing a test than strangling or flat out assaulting someone. That theory is bullshit.

It was neat rewatching the series and realizing Asuka liked Shinji ever since she first saw him in episode 8. As a teenager I thought she was being an eccentric bitch, but she actually wanted to impress and bond with him through the shared piloting experience. Their feelings don't come out of nowhere.

as expected from the master

The symbolism is meaningless, the characters and plot are fathom-deep. You basically can't understand more than 2 or 3 of the characters that are most similar to you, and the plot is still heavily opaque in some areas, particularly the events surrounding instrumentality.

We're in the clownworld timeline. Of course it's real.

What was the point of all the voices in EoE rejecting someone?

I think there was a basic framework for the plot, but the guy's a hack writer just shoved a bunch of shit in there

I think people just liked it cause of neat visuals and waifu bait.

They reused Evangelion music for Shin Godzilla.

It's this faggot 14 year old femcel again. Please kill yourself faggot

Someone shoop yaranaika on Shinji's face

Pathetic.

So it was a shitty self-insert harem all along. Why do retards praise this shit again?

I'll need to know what this game is called please.

"Joy of Mans Desiring" playing in the background.

That sounds about right.

There is mention of them before then to suggest that they weren't made up on the spot just for the game, but it's only in the proposal for the series and here they're a prehistoric civilization that was entirely contained to Earth.

Shinji decides to live his life as a gay man. anyone who disputes is really homophobic and in the closet, sweaty.

I'd like to think that Asukas version of breaking out of instrumentality involved bashing Shinjis head in with a coffee mug.

I'm getting the hilarious image of the Ancentral Race aggressively trying to reset their experiment on Earth the moment they realized their horrible mistake, in allowing two moons to be so close to each other.

Also, the moon IRL is actually as black as asphalt.

About to watch 2.22. 1.11 was unironically fun. It had good fights, ESPECIALLY the Ramiel fight. Yeah the character development/stories were subpar as a result of the inherent limitations of the screen time but I just infer all the shit that happened in the actual series to fill in.

I self insert as Giorno Giovanna. I use my Stand, Goldo Experiencce, to grow a tree inside the Mass Produced Evas to save her. After that, I heal her body and the heal her soul because I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream.

I'm too autistic to laugh at that, an equivalent structure for the four Adams in Antarctica is actually never referenced in Rebuild. There's this thing that shows up inside the rainbow sky gate when Shinji does it, though.

I just found out that the Human Instrumentality Committee is not the same as SEELE. I always thought it was weird their appearance changed so late in the series, but I was too dumb to realize, despite the fact I've rewatched Eva like 4 times.
Am I retarded?

Well they're like the inner circle of SEELE itself, plus Gendo

kek

watching episode 35, what the fuck is happening? Are they all merging into one?

25 not 35

The process begins but it's basically up to Shinji to decide how it concludes in the end

Thanks!

NGE Instrumentality is not EoE's instrumentality.
There is no telling that Shinji is in control like he was in EoE, he is a passenger.

Is she pressing her boobs against his back? Is that why he looks so uncomfortable?

The Committee are all members of Seele, but the Committee officially exists and is publicly known as part of the United Nations, while Seele are just a conspiracy theory.

in EoE Shinji wasn't in control until the scene where he separated from Rei. The only agency he had prior to that was letting instrumentality happen at all, he had no influence or insight into what that would mean

please respond

Thats cute

yes

It's a toxic relationship. Will never work.

yes it will when they grow up and recover from most of their mental illnesses

>solid fill for red face
>turns to the shades on their nose/cheeks
isn't that redundant

he made the correct decision if he skipped 3.0

It feels like Anno skipped 3.0 too. The current 3.0 we got is kind of like an aftermath spinoff focusing on Shinji and Kaoru's relationship, while the "real" 3.0 happened in between 2.0 and 3.0.
It had one heck of a strong opening though.

someone remind me why Gendo waited merging adam with lilith when he got his hands on it

did he need to wait for adam's soul to be released via kaworu's death or was he hell bent on following the dead sea scrolls up until the end (or both)

i haven't watched eva in forever but im reading a synopsis and some details won't click

Needed to have all the angels killed so they don't interfere in any 3rd impact scenario. That's why nobody could initiate it before all the angels as noted in the dead sea scrolls died. It's just way too risky

>"curse of Eva"
Nothing personel, kid.

ok, gotcha, thanks

Thank you

SO 2.22 was actually pretty fucking kino. Personally don't see why it gets all the hate, the ending was honestly really tight. As an Asukafag I wish there was more of her in 2.22 though.

I'm guessing when I watch 3.33 tomorrow I'll finally understand why this shit is so controversial.

>The current 3.0 we got is kind of like an aftermath spinoff focusing on Shinji and Kaoru's relationship, while the "real" 3.0 happened in between 2.0 and 3.0.

Why the fuck did Anno do this in the first place? Just to fuck with the fans and viewers again? The post-ending preview of 2.0 implied that 3.0 would a completely different movie than what we got.

Wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to pass the mantle to the other directors/writers and had less direct involvement. Only reason I can come up with it feeling more like a weird fanfic

If Gym bought us, would it be better or worse than what we have now?

It's not like Reifags, Misatofags and Kaworufags ever ship, amarite?

>no broken redhead to soothe
Why even live

She has a second one, no blood or red soil or Nigoki no Piloto in it, but there's the sunset and red sky that started her on that tangent. Made sense to me Rei would dread her ultimate purpose and make that association of the end of the day with the end of days. She does still dislike Asuka in particular, though.

That seems too early in the series to be true. She ultimately speaks of this in episode 25.

I always wonder if Rei had actually been taking Asuka's doll insults to heart.
Rei seems to make a point of using the same word when she makes her decision to finally disobey Gendo.

she was hoping for a good dicking but shinji was a wuss like always

I thought so. She objected to it straight away but couldn't argue with Asuka's reasoning for calling her a doll.

That stupid ass image omits the lines between the two.
>I want to do anything I can for you. I want us to be together forever!
>Then don't do anything. Stop bothering me.
>All you do is hurt me.
>Asuka, help me!
>Please, you're the only one for me, Asuka!
>Liar.
What Shinji says in the second panel is how only Asuka can help him, not how they two are meant to love each other which the fake montage says. Asuka then confronts him. The same idea is expressed in other translations albeit by directly inserting "help me" in the text of the second panel.

She spent most of rebuild 2.22 being jealous of Rei and then conceding in the end. NGE their relationship was completely unstable and went nowhere. In the manga they were actually friends.

"Everyone is insane" the anime

>as Joseph Joestar

Everyone keeps holding this up, when it seems to me both VAs are probably just staying in character. They even quote her directly.

Part 2, 3 or 4 Joeseph Joestar?

lina a best

>implying he wasn't chad in all of them

so how's it going for NGE and EoE on Netflix? do normalfags even care about it at all?

Who knows. It's mostly old fans nitpicking all sorts of bullshit and dominating like 90% of online discussion about it right now. Any new evafriend probably just decided to not enter any conversations seeing this shitfest

Verge did an article on it. You could practically see the lines between the paragraphs in the article where the anime review ends and the ideology begins...

so in the end Anno is a hack and he has to milk the franchise dry until it isn't worth anything?

A worthy sacrifice to fund Shin Godzilla.

Anno never created anything worth a damn in his life, Eva was his only fluke

Of course they don't and this sums it up best.

Nobody cares about eoe lol, its not canon

Fuck America.

EoE ended with shinji promising to himself he would improve as a person. Thats the resolution we needed to see. If and how he does that is just extra.

Its literally episodes 25 and 26. Its canon.

If he bought Yea Forums, any and all avenues it would have to make money would certainly be cut off due to his affiliation with 8ch and the reputation it's carries with it after Gamergate and Brenton Tarrant. However, 8ch is run in a very transparent manner where the rules are clear and there is a page where all the global moderators are listed. Moreover they have nice features like VP9 support, mp4 support, 24 hour captchas, audio support, and TOR posting support.
I can say the quality of life on Yea Forums would increase, but I really don't know what would happen to the site. 8ch runs at a loss each month, but is kept alive by his son's (codemonkey's) love for the site and his hatred of Hiroyuki (hence why he keeps a competitor to Yea Forums alive). After Gym consolidates most of the largest image boards under his control, there's no telling what he'd try to do to make money after essentially becoming a monopoly.

Like all great Greek tragedies, we will forever be denied the purest and most deserved forms of love.

ooc

>those faces
who saves this shit?

its what they all wanted deep down inside

Asuka would pop an aneurysm at the mere thought of having to share Shinji with Rei, never mind them naked

Asuka doesn't strike me as the time of gal who would share her lover, especially not with Rei. Granted I'm one of those who believe that if they had the chance to see each other after third impact they probably would have gotten along more easily, but even then, I don't think she'd be down for a threesome with her historical rival. When it comes to Rei, being an ayy on an eternal quest to better understand and reshape her view of what constitute normal human behaviors, she might be more open to it, but at the same time she is naturally very cold to most people. The only reason why she's even do it with Shinji is because of how close she is to him, I doubt she would be thrilled to have Asuka involved.

You can hear her sing a bit of Fly me to the moon here, around the middle

Doesn't she sing a rendition of FMTTM for one of the EDs? I assumed all of the main girls did at some point

This version FMTTM is Asuka's
youtube.com/watch?v=tLYEUIb-jvI

Also she sings part of the intro song in this rendition
youtube.com/watch?v=mjoAx9djpNQ

Asuka would pop an aneurysm but be fine afterward she melts

Are you sure that's her? It's definitely at the end of one of her episodes, but I thought her version had worse English

Why do you all keep believing Anno tho?
That nigga said the religious references had no meaning, he's always on some bull.

I am surprised when I see these threads nobody tries to support the idea of Shinji boning Lt. Maya Ibuki.

Then again I am surprised nobody tries to promote the notion that she is either a first cousin or a half-sister.

The only time I can remember them directly speaking with each other was Maya defending the dummy plug while Shinji was tensing up to kill them all over it.

So Asuka will win again? Boring.

They were the quintessential, example of the hedgehog dilemma. They both wanted each others warmth but we'e too damaged and afraid of getting hurt to experience that warmth.

Superior Asuka's song

this is fuego chief

why does this entire thread seem incapable of realising all three love interests are valid
>Rei
Clearly, BLATANTLY loved him by EoE, and developed those feelings throughout the show in one of the saddest kuudere arcs ever executed. For his part he cared about her but never really managed to understand her because of the secrecy, and was blatantly attracted to her. Had potential and it's a damn shame neither was able to help the other until Rei upended everything only after Third Impact began to give him a choice.
>Asuka
She's clearly into him and vice versa but they're both far too messed up to do anything about it properly. He cares about her but by EoE it has turned severely selfish and this puts her off even more than her degrading mental health had, but in the end they're the last two left standing and understand themselves/eachother better.
>Kaworu
Clearly romantic from Kaworu's end (Shinji is confused but getting into it) and possibly the only one with any chance of being healthy without massive outside intervention because Kaworu was actually mentally stable and able to give Shinji the positive influence he needed unlike the other two. Unfortunately doomed by virtue of who Kaworu is, however.

Why the fuck do people feel the need to pretend only their favourite one had feelings for Shinji or vice versa? All three did, all three deserved help and had potential to either heal with or help repair him but got fucked over by virtue of what they go through. Preferring one doesn't mean you can't recognize literally all three were decent options.

Fuck's sake is this just self-insertfags trying to justify their fantasies or something?
