>imagine thinking lain isn't the best anime ever made
I don't think so. I know it isn't.
If you consider every aspect of what makes an anime good, NGE does great on nearly every one of them.
Animation, art style, voice acting, OST, setting, plot, writing, character dynamics, character development, lore, memorability, rewatchability, cultural significance.
NGE excels at every single one. It isn't the best in each, but no other anime does them all as well as NGE.
Just a kid show for weebs
>plot
>writing
>character dynamics
>character development
>lore
NGE is awful at all of these things.
"FLASHING IMAGES AND NAMING BASED ON WARSHIPS MEANS IT'S DEEP".
I like NGE but the braindead pretentious insufferable western fanbase who mistake style for depth I can do without.
definitely one of my favorites, if they could make an adaptation of berserk that was true to the manga and not cgi garbage that skips things I think that would be the best
>it's not deep, it's all just flashing images based on warships
rofl, it isn't even that deep or ambiguous, was pretty obvious what the themes and allegories in EVA were about and also obvious you are one of the many that finished EVA thinking, LOL WUT? and still up until now have no clue
Imagine thinking Attack on Titan isn't the best anime ever made.
>Imagine being an evafag
I consider The Tatami Galaxy my favourite anime. Is this good social opinion?
>social opinion
?
it isn't though.
yamato 2199 is better.
>Is this good social opinion?
how many GBP do you have on your account , Chang ?
Konaka doesn't consider Lain to be his best work tho
it's been my fav so far
what is his best then?
What about Dragon Ball?
TTGL is probably better
I mean whenever somebody asks you what's is your favourite anime( or an anime you recommend to watch).
Are you asking what show you should pretend is your favourite to get the most respect? Are you talking about real life or on Yea Forums?

The manga's better
Thats not how you spell brigadoon
This user knows what's up.
>>A plot never mixes with B and C plot until the very very very end of the show
What do you mean?
>>Rei and Kaji never get developed
Kaji was a side character that didn't really need development, and Rei definitely got developed.
>>Several plot threads that go nowhere just because
What plot threads?
>>Stiff dialogue composed entirely of plot dumps and the writer's 6th panic attack for the day
Not even close to the truth.
>>Everything about EoE having to explain everything and how unnecessary it was after EoTV
EoE hardly explain much at all compared to any other part of the series, and the two endings are complementary.
>The manga's better
Shit taste, I would go as far and say it is almost bad, especially when compared to the anime.
FLCL is better than NGE. You cannot deny this.
>What do you mean?
Shinji or any of the kids for that matter never really get involved with the human instrumentality project, SEELE,or anything about the angels. I get its all in a need to know basis but the fact that the curiosity of their surroundings is all left for Misato to solve they feel like sitting ducks when the story's not showing them fighting or sulking
>Kaji was a side character that didn't really need development, and Rei definitely got developed.
Idk still feels kinda weird to let the guy who figured most of the lore shit out to have a few scenes with Misato and then die to a random agent when Ritsuko and the classmates had better use of their time, Rei definitely got developed but bringing her back kind of reset her progression to 0. Would have been better if she either stayed dead or didn't lose most of her memories
>What plot threads
Did we really need to know about NERV serving under a different name? The UN wanting to build their own EVAS? The MAGI system being an intricate system based on Ritsuko's mom? For such simple concepts they waste a bit too much time on what other shows would use for quick worldbuilding
>Shit taste, I would go as far and say it is almost bad, especially when compared to the anime.
How come
TTGL shits all over it
you think Evangelion is best girl?
nonono OP faggot-kun, Berserk is a best girl!
Monster and LOTGH outdo it but it's up there.
Rei 2 has a frag'd soul, Rei 3 is full Lilith.
>straight from tumblr
obviously you think that way
It won't be until season 4.
*walks towards you while whistling*
>The MAGI system
Wait, so you complain about Kaji not getting enough development, then complain when Ritsuko does? Let's preempt your next response by saying the reason Kaji is a "side character" and she isn't is because she got that development.
>The UN wanting to build EVAs
There's two entire episodes dedicated to non-NERV Evas, and why they were a bad idea ties into both the plot and themes. It foreshadows, along with the dummy plugs, the horrific MP Evas. This definitely isn't a "waste".
Guys is it okay to watch this on kissanime? I don't have any other means for a very long time. Are the subtitles decent enough?
What about it?
>Shinji or any of the kids for that matter never really get involved with the human instrumentality project, SEELE,or anything about the angels.
I feel it would be really hard to incorporate them into the conspiracy story without feeling forced. What are Shinji and Asuka supposed to do against a secret government like SEELE anyway.
>feels kinda weird to let the guy who figured most of the lore shit out to have a few scenes with Misato and then die to a random agent
I am not really sure what more you could do with a character like Kaji, his backstory in the manga is nice I guess, but overall there isn't much to add to his character since he seems to have it all figured out already from the start.
>Rei definitely got developed but bringing her back kind of reset her progression to 0
She wasn't entirely reset. There was a reason she rebelled against Gendo after all. And you can't really kill her since her story wasn't close to done at that point. And having her lose part of her memories works to put Shinji in the mental state he needs to be for episode 24.
>Did we really need to know about NERV serving under a different name?
The lead scientist killing a small child than committing suicide isn't the best PR for any organisation. But there would have also been multiple deaths of scientist before because of all the Evas.
>The UN wanting to build their own EVAS
I guess it is unnecessary but it also adds to the world building showing that after an event like second impact the world has bonded together enough for UN to want something is something that could actually happen. As well as showing what NERV is willing to do to keep their monopoly.
>The MAGI system being an intricate system based on Ritsuko's mom?
Not only is this foreshadowing for the true identities of the Evas, but it also becomes relevant when Ritsuko fails to blow up NERV because of it.
>How come
It mostly comes down to the ending, for me the last like 3 volumes feels very rushed.
>is it ok to stream?
it is good but not the best
No. Stop streaming, fag.
Even the people who like the rebuilds, don't claim them to be three best anime ever. This is OBVIOUSLY about NGE and EOE.
It's no kaiji
Kaiji handled psychological aspects very well, maybe in the best way I've ever seen and the action was really captivating but from technical side the series is mediocre af
I was slightly disappointed this wasn't the gif of Unit 03 roaring that looks like it's throwing its head back and laughing
But you're correct, OP
This, but unironically.
NGE is just pretentious bullshit using religious themes to look edgy and cool. Even the author admits that.
But you can actually get something to think about from TTGL. And it is also a hell of a motivational trip that can pump you up.
>NGE is just pretentious bullshit using religious themes to look edgy and cool. Even the author admits that.
Not even close to the truth.

That is what it seems you have done. Because it is simply not true.
So you haven't watched it.

Filtered.
Why would I even care about a show I hadn't watched.
I imagined that in 2002 and then made it my default state of mind.
The realistic elements and attitudes of those shows are what makes them so meaningful and human. You get the sense they were made by people with experience, or at least an intelligence of reality, rather than escapists. Fantastical shit is cool and fun but can very easily lose itself and clutter its underlying expression (assuming it has one).
>imagine thinking Evangelion is good and original
based
God I hope they don't fuck season 4 and Isayama also doesn't fuck the ending too
wow row row fight the power, so deep
>it's good because it's realistic
fucking plebs, when will they learn
>you can actually get something to think about from TTGL
What? There's literally nothing to think about in TTGL. It's just a family friendly Getter ripoff.
They aren't realistic in a meaningful, artistic sense. It is simply that they lack craftsmanship and purpose in their presentation that you conflate their dullness with realism.
No one said it was original. It is simply better than its influences.
Dante's fantastical shit worked because it was aesthetically and thematically consistent within literary and religious traditions (and the general human psyche), I'm talking about escapist wank fantasy most anime indulge to no purpose or with gross effect (particularly wherever there's an attempt at a serious show). I never said fantastical stuff in itself was bad.
>they lack craftsmanship and purpose in their presentation
What the fuck are you talking about? It's obvious they don't need to be more fantastical for what they do. If you think you can improve on FKMT or Urasawa's expression in this regard then do propose how.
This can be a .jpg and a .webm of the anime at the same time.
The .gif version works the best.
Evangelion is pseudointellectual garbage
Urasawa forced animators into copying his panels for a 1:1 adaptation instead of letting the staff express themselves and properly use the tools of the medium to create a unique product with its own artistic voice. Truly great adaptations are born from auteurs like Kubrick and Tarkovsky molding the source material to fit their specific vision instead of modestly adapting the source word for word.
This is just critiquing a product in relation to its source rather than something in itself. The staff didn't need to adapt it into something else. It's still compelling as it is. If it were an anime original you would not have this complaint.
The Tatami Galaxy is good but don't base your taste off of common opinions, especially on Yea Forums and when it comes to normalfag anime
Yikes
This.
“Evangelion” and “great” don’t even belong in the same sentence
So it is both not great and not not great at the same time?
Zeta Gundam is a better mech show.
When will this happen
Please God just let there be a non golden age anime that's good
The movies and old anime were stellar
This scene lasted 50 seconds too long desu
Maybe I'm just not used to waiting so long
I honestly tried to watch all of them but I lost interest before Goku grew up and met the red army
Was I wrong to give up?
This is true
And the raped her in the anime
What do you losers got against streaming
Finally, someone with taste
It has always been shit, and will always be shit, you are a faggot for making this thread
>>
it's good but it's no princess tutu
fuck off tripnigger, your mother is a whore
Based, plus trips.
EVA is still number two.
>inb4 overbudget lol
I kind of liked the placement of these pregnant pauses, especially since it fits Shinji's indecisiveness so much. That scene is really, really sad, and the anticipation of what he's about to do makes the outcome so much worse.
That is incredibly insecure. If someone asks you your favorite anime, tell them your favorite anime. You don’t have to justify your tastes nor should you care if someone disagrees with your tastes. Go rewatch EVA you obviously missed the point bro.
