The only good episode. Imagine if the entire series were like this, it would actually be as good as it is popular.

That episode was fast as hell and all 9ver the place. It felt like a deterioration in writing, as if the director and staff were all high and said "meh, go with a few tropes or whatever". That episode didn't feel like NGE

It was cute.

But, this episode felt contrived as hell with the dance synchronization, the first loss where the angels decided to just harmlessly bury the Evas (did they have a shovel?), and the fact tjey could just nuke angels into going dormant for a week to train.
If the nuke could do that, why not just keep attacking it before it wakes up? Why let it wake up?
How did they know exactly what the angel would do for their sync attack routine? They'd be screwed if the angel moved asymetrically against them.

It is bullshit.

on its first airing evangelion aired at 7 pm and it was so gruesome that it was giving japanese kids nightmare so bandai asked the director to make the show more kid friendly and this is the result. Eventually the director gets mad and makes episode 18 where the fight against bardiel is so gruesome that bandai simply stops funding the show, hence the reason why they keep action to a minimum after that and the show quality degrades to the point where they have to recycle frames over and over till it ends abruptly earlier than expected.

Everything about this episode sucked. But I liked watching it

It existed to trick you into thinking there was hope and the mismatched pilots might eventually become true friends while saving the world.

Is Shinji that ugly and scary?

Probably it was played straight, the pilots kinda started to bond from ep 8 to 10, but still worked great in retrospective. Many times sheer luck can improve a work, especially in a collective medium like cinema.

The Shinji Ikari Raising Project manga really sucks, unless you're into waifu faggotry

>ocean between woman and man
Oh, you mean the tranny trench?
Nothing's deeper than the tranny trench... sorry bro.

fpbp

It sucks anyway because it blew the best part of that Dad Gendou joke.

I remember when Shinji spend a night with Kaji and asked him about his dad. Then Shinji say that lately he's starting to know his dad better and Kaji warn him that people don't really know each other. It was before episode 18 so it was like a warning that the good days were about to end

Is Eva the most perfect pleb filter ever created?
