Persona 4 (which I'm aware was a PS2 game first) used Jungian psychology for it's main idea. I mean it says it right in the title. What other anime does /a/ know that implements psychological elements?
>>141952878
Couldn't you say that about any of the games in the series, then?
>>141952921
>>141952878
Oh wait, you're talking about anime.
>>141952921
That's very true, however, Persona 4 focused more on psychoanalytic psychology (Shadows, True Self, Unconscious) than say, Persona 3. I will not deny the Persona series touches on Jung, but Persona 4 extended on it.
evasupposedly
>>141952980
>Persona series started with 3
>>141952878
Any and all moe anime by design.
>>141953339
Yes, I've seen all of Evangelion. I do like Freud, but it expanded more on religion. It references Freud, but doesn't truly implement it.
>>141953602
It actually does.
>>141952878
Nice rec thread faggot
>>141953494
>implying people care about what came before it these days
Let's be real here.
>>141953339
Well, yes. I won't deny that. I guess I was a bit stupid with my answer. I know about the fixations of characters and other theories. Sometimes though, it mainly names theories in episodes or songs.
>>141953602
Religion was purely symbolic according to Anno
>>141953602
>but it expanded more on religion
Except that according to the guy who made it that was purely there because "it looked cool".
>>141953981
>>141953805
He said that once, but that doesn't mean there's absolutely no depth to it.
>>141953653
It's summer, /a/ is filed with them, basically every other thread boils down to some convoluted way of getting anons to reply with names of various anime.
>>141953682
It's okay anon. Shit taste is a common thing these days. Can't be blamed for not experiencing Persona 2.
>>141954022
>he said it had 0 significance other than it looking cool
>this doesn't mean it has 0 significance.
A special kid of special you are.
>>141954061
I heard they re-released it on PSP, so I surely can blame them.
>>141954072
It has significance. Just because someone in an interview asked "What does Evangelion mean?" and he said "it just sounds cool" doesn't mean it doesn't.
>>141954214
your entire thread basically boils down to this.
>>141955030
It's not my thread.
Even if it was, what does Death of the Author have to do with psychological elements in anime?
>>141955145
Forcing your interpretation onto the work when the author has said multiple times that there is no deeper meaning in it is mule'ish.
>>141955339
Well, too bad. This thread isn't even about Eva.
>>141954049
>>141955403
Exactly. It's about anime that implement psychology into the show. Evangelion implements both psychology and religion regardless of the reason. End of discussion.
>>141955513
>literally no religion
The word you are looking for is spirituality anonkun.
>>141955560
Alright. It uses all 3 of these themes then.
>>141955594
It doesn't have a religious theme. A couple of Christian light crosses a religious theme does not make.
>>141955656
There's a hell of a lot more than that.
>>141952980
>Persona 4 focused more on psychoanalytic psychology (Shadows, True Self, Unconscious)
>>141955656
>light crosses determine the religion
Let's look at the Angel names, Adam/Lilith, Soundtrack Names, and the Crucification of Eva 01 shall we?
>>141955873
And the Dead Sea Scrolls, the whole Tree of Life thing.
>>141955867
Mind giving me a reason why that's laughable?
>>141952980
>Persona 4 extended on it.
Nigga, the shadows concept isn't even new to P4. Persona 2 had it before. Heck, they were in a bunch of other RPG too.
Even fucking Lunar had them. LUNAR.
>>141955998
I meant the Shadows as the unconscious, not as enemies. The whole "I'll Face Myself" idea.
>>141955873
>>141955911
There is a difference between using a bunch of religious iconography because it looks cool and having a religious theme. NGE doesn't explore Christianity, it barely touches upon it. It just sticks some Christian term and icons in there for the cool factor, reading more into it than that is retarded.
>>141956051
>I meant the Shadows as the unconscious, not as enemies. The whole "I'll Face Myself" idea.
That's what I'm saying too.
>>141956051
Maybe play the entire series fucktard so you'll stop making retarded allegations
>>141955931
Not sure if you're baiting but it's just anime bullshit and barely touched the topic if you want actual jungian psychology play persona 1 and 2 but be warned cause the gameplay is absolute garbage
>>141956278
He could also stop being an idiot and pick up the books. Whoever plays games to learn about or explore these topics is a certifiable imbecile.
Especially in anime and mango, the only reason jap media even includes all kinds of sciences is for the cool points. It is like how Schrödinger's cat appears in a plethora of anime. I can think of only 1 anime that got the idea behind that thought experiment right, the rest was all about "muh neko nyanya, muh dead and alive at the same time".
