Misato has ice, snacks and 50 GALLONS OF BEER in her fridge lmao. Mood. Her car is wrecked and there's a monster that might kill her and all she can think about is car payment loans lol. She's just like me fr. Well, except for the groomer vibes she's giving off.

I'm sure it's gonna get depressing very soon, I hear all the characters suck and half of them are sexpests. Seems like you get a pretty decent understanding of why they suck though. I already dislike Shinji though, dude get in the fucking robot the world is ending. I guess sucking is hereditary, because his dad sucks too, fucking dumbass. Dude if your son is "the chosen one" when it comes to piloting these things and you're all "I must sacrifice everything for the mission" then sacrifice some free time to be with your son so your top pilot is less psychologically messed up.

NERV is in dire need of a psych team though, insane that there isn't a dedicated therapist to help the pilots deal with trauma.

Also it's so beautiful! I miss old anime like this and Akira, everything just gets to breathe. It's so pretty every frame is a painting. The women have noses and they look like women, which is also impressive. Sadly there's still only one body type women can have, but at least they can look humanoid.

Anyway, bit idea: Guy who only watches Evangelion for the fights.

Edit: Okay so Shinji managed to make two friends and they get sent away. The dude needs a support network, how incompetent can his dad be? "Huh my best pilot is getting some friends? Can't have that, we need him to be as mentally unstable as possible!"
Dude needs to be fired.

Double edit: Now on an episode where an EVA goes berserk and tries to attack the dad and he just stands there looking at it and then when it breaks thru to him he's shocked. The guy is absolutely not beating "himbo, but not actually hot, just dumb" allegations

Evangelion the show has issues especially in the first half. But once it clicks it is extremely different and thought provoking. As someone who was exposed to it pretty young it had an effect on me that most shows don't.

End of Evangelion. The movie after the show is like ten times better. God it is impeccable. There are very few pieces of art that compare in thematic grandiose. The set pieces are grand, I mean they are pretty much spiritual. I don't want to give too much away but when you watch the movie make sure you have time to watch it with no interuptions on a big screen.

And the rebuilds are pretty alright too. Not a big fan of the animation but the message is far more positive.

I look forward to the movie! Should I watch the original series or one of the remakes, in your opinion?

You should watch the original, and then End of Evangelion, and then the rebuild series (it's both a remake and a sequel of sorts)
