What is the significance of the toast?

It goes well with water.
It's a phallic symbol.
Rei confirmed for penis envy.
>>123372053
shinji's about to become a motherfucker
It symbolizes a slice of life
she's late
>>123372173
I'm clapping.
The toast represents the character's heart.
Toast with jam represents a muddled passion.
>>123372173
God damn
>>123372053
you are now area that she has a large disfigured open mouth rather than a toast in her mouth
She's so late she's eating the minimum standard of breakfast at a full run on the way to school. It's the essence of moe, a character with no ability to take care of themselves at all.
>>123372173
fucking nice
>>123372053
But srs. It's just an accessory to the classic "school comedy/school romantic comedy" character they are portraying her as just then. Just an ordinary girl, late to school, grabs the toast running out the door, and in her haste, runs into shinji, and you know, reacts like a typical Japanese school girl of her age, down to freaking out over whether he saw her panties.
It's also funny because the character we saw is wildly different from the flat affect Rei we know. The rollicking, AWW SHUCKS country music also signals that as a comedic scene.
I.E. "That's the joke".
It's supposed to be funny asshole.
>>123372206
Stop right there criminal scum!
Running with toast was made popular with Sailor Moon. NGE has a lot of ties to Sailor Moon. For example: Rei was named after after Sailor Mars, Misato was the voice of Sailor Moon, etc.

It shows someone who is disorganized with time and habit, yet hungry enough to try to feed themselves out in public.

How can anyone like toast? It tastes like nothing, it's floppy when untoasted, dry when toasted.
Get some real bread.

They're portraying Rei as a ditzy teenage girl, same with her 'moe' behavior and dumb lines.
She has toast in her mouth because she's a dumb kid who woke up late and didn't have time to eat.
>>123374482
Toast isn't a type of bread.

Toast is a way of preparing bread. It's not a specific type of bread.

Well,"...to dream of toast suggests that you are considering (or already involved in) a romantic situation which could cause you serious embarrassment – think twice about what you’re up to." But she is running with the toast, so she is gonna find her true love or something?

slice of life is an anime genre
slice of toast is a slice of bread that was toasted
slice of life <-> slice of toast
similarity of two terms and the fact that slice of toast is a known cliche in slice of life anime results in comedy

How is this even good enough to garner so many comments? Bread doesn't symbolize life in any reasonable way.
>>123372173

>>123405814
The slices, although come from the same bread, are each slightly different; as is daily life and the events that occur in each.

The bread symbolises the bread Jesus Christ gave to his disciples saying "This is my body." And Jesus is life and holiness even though he died for our sins, thus bread = life

Daily reminder that anime of today doesn't like toast.
