@2cups all you man

I heard there's like 3 versions of Evangelion, the original, aaand two reboots? I saw an image comparing the "graphics" between them three.
Mderms
Ive only seen like, the first or second reboot movies. Why does Asuka have an eyepatch again?
QTLingTorrasque
Asuka is not good enough to carry the shite that Evangelion became. Shinji is the polar opposite of "typical anime omnipotent protagonist".
ProbeGT
Gotta love Evangelion....

I found Asuka to be fairly annoying. But her rampage in The end of Evangelion made up for all of it well for me at least.

Thank you for this.

No gifs of her freaking out?!

Shinji was a mistake
IFoldlyGo
To me Shinji was manipulated so his father could get his mother back. Nothing else mattered (i.. the world, people, his son, etc). Sad.

Ugh, been there
mrtrentoncomedy
Given she's a minor, a bitch, and the whole hospital bed thing, her fan base is coming off as extra fucked up here.
Gunpowderpatron
How Disgusting
RhinoMunchies
i had read some theories online but i always wondered why she said that at that scene
Zonhiver
Supposedly they briefly melded before shinji rejected intrumantality, so she saw "the hospital scene"
eichelburglar
It's a great ending... Maybe I'm just fucked up lol. But it was getting at some pretty deep stuff that rarely sci fi ever get to anymore.
krisslanza
Eyepatch Asuka is the best.
whomsayer
Seriously, where does that come from? Been 10 years since I watched, but I thought she lost her eye about the same time the white Evas......
LoopStricken
I imagine that's Asuka Shikinami, not Souryu.
krisslanza
Its from Rebuild of Evangelion, the third one to be exact.
whomsayer
Ahhhh many thanks!
APackOfExcitedGingers
You forgot the best one... the one where she gets impaled to death and her Eva eaten by carrion
CatIsFineToo
I wanted gif from the elevator scene...

lebaguettebutin
Last episode was released 10 years ago. At this point it's just your fault.
TheWorldEndsWithYou
not the one where Shinji jerks off over her?
JacaByte
Oh I thought he sneezed, and his comment was about the state of his physiology. Yes I did. :)
renegade9
I'm usually not bothered by death scenes, but god *damn* that one was fucking rough to watch.
UH60Mechanic
I don't remember much about the series except that I didn't like it, and that she got it BAD.
electricgoldfish
Same. It can't live up to the hype anymore.
UH60Mechanic
I was probably 18 when I watched it the first time and was/still am into older 80s/90s anime. After the first few episodes it was terrible.
electricgoldfish
We both saw it when it was new, so there's no way to feel like it's that great 20-25 years down the line. Never wanted to watch the remakes.
UH60Mechanic
I think I was okay right up until it devolved into nonsense. My friends were like "Oh it's so tragic the creator XYZ" and I was done.
SerMorgenstern
I still haven't seen any of Evangelion. Anyone know where I can watch it?
CheekyBreeki
Episode 16 is my personal favourite
ILikeToLieForRecognitionOnTheInternet
kissanime.to might have it

Legally? No where. Illegally? Low level googlefu should be enough.
APackOfExcitedGingers
Except for the dozens of legal streaming sites that have it for free
onlyhalfghost
Or just buying the DVDs at this point, it's not that expensive...
JacaByte
I wouldn't recommend the DVDs if you don't know what you're getting yourself into...

I know nothing about evangelion except that Shinji won't get in the god damn mech
Rowanismz
god I hate Asuka so much
Merced
I like her more than emo Shinji, the teenage angst bull shit annoyed the hell out of me
HotdiggyDemon
Huh. Never saw depression as teenage angst, but to each his own.
IKilledKennyAndIAmABastard
Ikr? She is just such a bitch. No one would like anybody that acts the way she does irl.
fangwulf
Then you prolly LOVE End of Evangelion.
RhinoMunchies
why is that? i saw EoE already so i dont recall why
fangwulf
Was talking to the dude who doesn't like Asuka. :)
Sigimund
You're welcome to be wrong
yourmomisminenow
let's agree to disagree
APackOfExcitedGingers
She is objectively a huge cunt.
Rowanismz
Not liking something is wrong? Oh cool.
Sigimund
Just so long as you understand! I'm here to help.
MiddleEasternWeeaboo
I understand her character and motives but she was a horrible person and a huge cunt to everyone except to the guy's dick she wanted.
MiddleEasternWeeaboo
Not Shinji's dick*
myr14d
I loved like... the first 13-14 episodes of Evangelion. Then it became a say-no-to-drugs commercial.
cutepiku
Exactly how I always felt about it. The endless hype for it is just.. why.
AllISayIsYeah
Yeah
rykinshin
I thought it was preaching pre-marital sex is wrong or some shit. Or that your natural sexual urges are shameful. Either way it lost me.

jakcspellgood
I like the first zero episodes of Evangelion then it became a pretentious crap show full of whiny idiots and horrible people.

JacaByte
I believe this one is called "screaming geometrically"

asuka vs mass production evas is one of the most gloriously violent and beautifully animated scenes ive ever watched.
JacaByte
They drew deeply from the eternal punishment of Prometheus in mythology for that scene I think, which in turn (1/2)
JacaByte
is an analogy of the birth and eternal struggle of humanity (2/2)

Really? I always got more of a "say yes to drugs" vibe. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to come up with that nonsense sober.
mikeatike
But maybe without drugs it would have been good.
Foundling108
Say no to drugs, say yes to drugs. Whatever the message, drugs were involved.
myr14d
Well, I mean, I basically just watched someone's brain vomit sick onto film. I was less liable to take drugs myself at that point.
taichanie
Pfft. Lain was far more trippy then Eva was.
ChaleMurphy
The creator lost his wife while his was going on. He channeled everything into this cartoon. I for one love it and all it's craziness.
Imhereforthelurking
Hideaki was in the depths of clinical depression, quite a bit in debt, and generally having a bad time. He channeled it all into Evangelion.
JCQuiinn
Uh, I'm fairly certain Hideaki Anno's wife is alive and happy, and he didn't get married until 2002. He did have clinical depression.
ChaleMurphy
I actually didn't know that! Thats cool, I grew up hating that his lady died. Good thing his happy and rolling in the doe
surefang
Agreed. It's always been one of my favorites, but I still recognize that it bears little resemblance to reality.
surefang
Also, if the creator lost his wife during the process, that actually makes Gendo even MORE creepy, which I didn't think was possible.
Imhereforthelurking
2/3 Hence why the first one was so depressing and fatalistic. After its sucess, though, every remake or retell has had even a dim glimmer
StormFrog
Too bad he pulled a George Lucas with Eva 3.0.
Imhereforthelurking
3/3 of hope at the far, far end of a very dark, grim tunnel. It makes for an experience I'd say that is even more gut wrenching for the fact
Millillion
He probably wasn't on drugs, he was incredibly depressed, so maybe alcohol.
Mistruths
Alcohol is a drug.
Millillion
Yes, but it's normally not included in people's idea of the word "drugs", for better or for worse.
BlankMage
"....And then everyone in the world melted and Shinji chokes Asuka to death for literally no reason. The End!" "...Fucking what?"
ThatIsMyPassword
It's implied he was there for a while and went a bit nutso. They also weren't on the best terms at the end. Plus the cum on her face thing.
JacaByte
God creates dinosaurs, god destroys dinosaurs, god creates man, man destroys god, man rears boy, boy destroys angels, (1/2)

man tries to destroy boy, boy ends world, boy hates the afterlife, boy restarts world, boy hates girl, boy tries to kill girl, (2/3)

boy can't do it, woman inherits the earth (3/3)

Asuka probably influenced my taste in women more than I care to admit
jherazob
I used to have such a crush on her when i saw the series waaay back then, but the more time passes the more i like Misato better
BookWyrme
Haruko for me...
GeniusGT
Underaged?
Friendimpaired
Well, I was 11 when NGE came out so not really a factor

oh fuck your taste is garbage then
Omnissah
Amen to that.
hardystone
All I can say is....you are not alone
Zwyciezyl
This is so confusing, am I, or am I (not)?
JacaByte
She's deeply emotionally scarred though, and tries to hide it by being extremely confrontational and aggressive.
SCOTTSTERLINGthemanthemythandthelegend
She's horrible tho
SpanisInquisition
just like his taste in women
Mithi
The Childs all are traumatized by losing the mother at young age. Asuka's mother even tried to kill her once in prep for her own suicide.
Fenrir737
Wow i dated a woman who lived threw that. shes doing very well now. now that its mentioned. I to, am drawn to women that are..well...askua
ArchMagos
you like demanding bitches that will verbally abuse you to feed their own fragile egos?
MogarIsReady
Feisty redheads who abuse you to the point that you strangle them on a beach after your "mom" becomes god?
Friendimpaired
You're not wrong
DysgraphicProgrammer
Tsundere is only appealing until you realize what that's actually like in real life.
Spamamdorf
It depends, there's different types of tsunderes they're not all abusive bitches some are just nervous and unsure of themselves.
Allitis
Was the reboot any good?
Millillion
Depends on what you expect from it.
vudak
The first two were great, the third goes pants on head retarded.
jherazob
The first 2 were good, then the 3rd felt like a bad EVA-Gunbuster crossover fanfic. I am no longer looking forward to the 4th.
AfRoSaUcE
It turns out it's a reboot yet a continuation. It's really good and you should check it out.
Arkanrais
most of it was fairly decent, but there are some major shitty parts, like a mary sue character named Mari, that comes off as abysmal fan fic
itsthevoiceman
It's great. Just not completed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebuild_of_Evangelion
nopo
The Rebuild movies are a bit of a mixed bag. The first two are generally liked, but the 3rd is widely hated. And the 4th isn't even started.
Digsby
Sequel, not a reboot.
SeaHutch
It's enjoyable, but fans of the original don't always like it. If you're going in New or just liked the original, you'll have a good time.
ThisIsAJoJoReference
I liked it, but i though the flashy battles and shorter run time made the original series a lot deeper
Glumerlink
i loved the original but i felt the reboot abandoned so much of what made evangelion a legendary series
friedricebitch
it was better, i especially like how 3.0 ended
stellaratmospheres
how ano will end that fucking shitt i love it that mudafucker genius godammitt
CelticRain12
It's a tradeoff imo. More action, but the characters are shadows of their former selves. But Mari adds a other waifu, if that's your thing.
Grandshift
3.0 was off the fucking rails, I didn't expect it to go deviate from the series the way it did.
chinesewarlord
4.0 was supposed to come out this August and uhh....well that didn't happen

Anno was too busy making New Godzilla.

Doktorandus
If you want more EVA, sure. If you want more of what makes EVA great, then no.
mikeatike
After the last few episodes, no. No, I do not want more EVA.
Doktorandus
Have you by any chance seen the End of Evangelion as well? The movie, I mean.
mikeatike
No. I couldnt bring myself to bother with it.
ThatIsMyPassword
It's worth a rewatch + EoE. It makes a lot more sense when you're not 12, and realize it's basically an elaborate fuck you to Anime fans.
Doktorandus
It's - at the very least - a very different ending to the series. Worth at least a single watch if you've finished the series.
friedricebitch
You get to see less of Shinji crying and being a pussy more sexy asuka scenes so that's why i like it, it's still the same story
[deleted]
[deleted]
friedricebitch
i didn't even downvote you and i have no idea what you're talking about
artisticduckie
Oh, you're one of those.
Doktorandus
That was partially the point though. It's a character driven story in which the people in it respond realistically to a literal apocalypse.
CelticRain12
You right, TL;DR Shinji gets fucked up every time he pilots the god and has understandable daddy issues.
Doktorandus
I mean the guy's 14, has a distant and abusive dad who only speaks to him in order to guilt trip him into at least attempt to save the world
Doktorandus
Any kid would realistically break. Which is the point of his character. He's not a pussy, he's a tormented human being that has his-
Glumerlink
No. Evangelion is a psychological and philosophical journey, the reboot basically throws that all out in lieu of ROBOTS FIGHTING MONSTERS

What always gets me of this one is the damn mug
Mortykins
Kazuya Tsurumaki stated that all the symbolism was made up on the fly. They literally cobbled it together just because they thought it 1/-
Mortykins
looked cool. In his own words: "There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme 2/-
Mortykins
to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan, we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff 3/-
Mortykins
who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool."
UnderwearThief
Worked for Pacific rim
Glumerlink
it's fun but it isn't remotely the same. It's like how halo 5 is actually just call of duty with a halo skin
BeardKhan
Good. Original evangelion started out good then turned to pretentious pseudo psychological horse shit with no message to be had.
ThatIsMyPassword
Ignore the last two episodes and watch EoE instead. It was less devolving into horse shit, more running out of money.
HotdiggyDemon
I'm sorry that you couldn't find a message in it, and that it also made you angry.
BeardKhan
There is no message beyond "oh the woes of sentient life and humanity as a whole being alone in separate bodies QQ im so pretentious"
HotdiggyDemon
And here i thought it gave a good representation of Freudianism and the Hedgehog's dilemma but the message i mainly got out of it was 1/2

No matter who they are, everybody just wants to be loved and accepted
