Should Evangelion be required to watch before posting on /a/?
>>
>>140798513
*shitposting
FTFY
>>
>>140798513
No.
/a/ doesn't have any required titles and shouldn't have any.

Just watch plenty of anime.
>>
>>140798513
If they haven't seen NGE, than they should lurk for about a year anyways.

NGE is one of those shows that you've got to sit on for a while to develop a respectable opinion.
>>
But it is.
>>
>>140798513
dunno. but have you considered killing yourself before posting on /a/?
>>
>>140798513
Yes.

I'm sure that will get rid a lot of shounenfags and moefags who are the cancer that's killing /a/
>>
>>140798513
as always, 2 years of lurking should precede posting
>>
>>140798513
a lot of poster post about anime without watching them
>>
>>140799466
That's dumb.

Just start posting, and you'll be beat into shape soon enough by the rest of the board.
>>
>>140798513
It's pretentious shit that only high schoolers enjoy with mecha thrown in.
>>
>>140798513
Yes
>>
>>140799631
So you prefer a bunch of retards making shitty posts and annoying the hell out of everyone over retards not making any posts until they lern to adapt?

It's like you want the boards quality to go down the drain.
>>
>>140798513
Isn't it just straight up required anime in general?
>>
>>140801575
No, it isn't.
The majority of Japanese anime fans haven't watched it.
On /a/, I'll make a very uneducated guess and say that some 30% have watched it.
It's probably less known than Berserk.
>>
>>140801697
There's no way it's that low. I mean, there's some babies on this board but I mean anybody with heavy enough an interest in anime to come here regularly would have had to seen it. I mean, it's popularity is fuckhueg.
>>
>>140799631
That's not how it works. There's a reason why lurk more used to be the response to any stupid post.
>>
>>140798513
>Should I also have cancer taste before posting on /a/?
>>
>>140801813
>I mean, it's popularity is fuckhueg.
Your point? Tokyo Ghoul and Shingeki no Kyojin also have huge popularity, yet I'm 100% sure most of us here didn't even bother to watch these. NGE is the same shit, so I can easily accept anon's 30%.
>>
>>140798513
That's for the old days. Now you only need to watch Madoka and Monogataris and you're set.
>>
>>140801813
30% is a lot.

What you don't understand is that while there is some pressure to watch it from the community, there's also some huge hurdles to get over.
1) age
It's a shit reason, but newfags are hesitant to pick up old stuff, especially if it isn't cyberpunk action OVAs. They're too busy watching the current season and whatever is popular on reddit at the moment.

2) Shinji and all-around depression
Watch 10 harems in a row (as newfags are wont to) and then try to get into NGE. It's fucking impossible. It seems like the concentrated essence of everything that makes anime bad. You need to clean your mouth of the bad aftertaste before going at it.
>>
>>140801813
I've seen somewhere around 400 shows, but I've not watched NGE. It just hasn't interested me and I haven't gotten around to it.
>>
>>140802035
NGE is difficult to get into, but if you manage to keep up with it, the last episodes (and EoE) are really rewarding.
>>
>>140799417
Ironically NGE played a big part in the creation of moe culture.
>>
>>140801697
>It's probably less known than Berserk
It's the highest selling anime of all time. Anyone who likes anime has heard about it.
>>
>>140798513
Going by the quality of Eva threads, I'm going to say "no". It seems like a show that makes people more retarded.
>>
>>140802006
That's pretty depressing. I'm still optimistic enough to say it's more than 30% but you have solid points.
>>
>>140802108
I'm talking about right now on /a/.

Also, knowing *of* something is not the same as knowing something.
>>
>>140802071
I'm going to watch it sooner or later. For its historical importance if nothing else.
>>
>>140802110
Any fanbase that's been around as long as Eva is bound to be filled with autism and shitposting. You should've know by now that the threads on /a/ don't reflect the show at all.
>>
>>140800836
There are already plenty of retards making shitty posts.
>>
>>140799651
Kill yourself
>>
>>140801697
>It's probably less known than Berserk.
I really doubt it.
everyone and their mother that watches chinnese cartoons knows and/or has watched evangelion, or at least in my country. It even has its official dub that aired on television: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ_CftP81XE
>>
>>140798513
Evangelion is one of the things. You should also watch Devilman, Ideon, Gundam, Astroboy, Getter Robo and Mazinger Z.
>>
>>140803985
These are /m/ required shitpost shows ( & manga)
>>
>>140803985
Half of those you should read instead of watching.
