The obvious shit like cross explosions meant nothing. They should just "look cool".

The symbolysm with meaning in NGE is the more subtle stuff

Because everyone, that was alive during the tang process, is. Or can be. I can't remember who said it after Sjinji rejected instrumentallity....

> why did he strangle her

My headcanon. To ensure, that his resolve is right. That people can like you, despite you having done fucked up shit. He lets go the second, she comforts him

This is a nice parallel that could support that.

> where did she get the bandages from

Waking up with a sliced up arm would be kinda fucked up. And since their bodies with clothes were re-formed out of the LCL, I don't think it's weird, that bandages can be formed, too

She was dead when Instrumentality happened. Nobody was out there fixing her up. The Harpies went straight from chewing on her corpse to forcing Shinji to start Instrumentality.

She came back with bandages because injuries get healed with bandages, and she's healed now. There's nothing else to it.

>>142153851
>About half the narration can be summed up as "OO FEMALES"
Ignoring your exaggeration, most of that is Shinji being insecure about and confused by those women, not those women slobbering over Shinji's cock.

>However the show is devoid of a coherent plot or a coherent "deep message". It's "I'm 14 and this is deep: the anime"
The plot is obvious, it's the cast descending in to madness. You could also point to the angel stuff or the incredibly simple episodic plots building up to the finale. As to your "deep message" it's explicitly spelled out in EoE and the finale of the series.
>>
These threads are always such a gamble. Last night we were discussing insane theories and laughing at the really crazy ones and laughing at Anno's stupid centaur flight pack designs and just generally having a good time.

And might I add, the simplicity of the message slowly being rolled out through the entire series is what makes it so great. When it's laid out clearly for you in the finale, it's an amazing feeling.

>>142153851
>However the show is devoid of a coherent plot or a coherent "deep message"

to be completely honest, I struggled to find both of those the first time I watched it. At this point I would have agreed that it's ok but kinda overhyped and pretentious. Keep in mind I was also pretty young at that point.

However the second time I watched it, a few months back, all the pieces fell together and everything made perfect sense and the characters were insanely well written and everything they did made complete sense. It is now bt far my favorite series and since then I've rewatched it about 3 times.

Maybe you need to rewatch it? Watch a few videos explaining the story maybe.

Perhaps the fact that some people need to watch it a second time to get it can be considered a flaw, I don't know.
>>
>>142153851
>About half the narration can be summed up as "OO FEMALES"
You're forgetting the three male characters that are forcing themselves onto Shinji.

According to Evangelion Assistant Director Kazuya Tsurumaki:
"There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice"

Personally I don't find trying to look cool for the show's tone is pretentious, it's just a stylistic choice.

All you need to know is that the MP Eva scene wasn't in the original script. You only need to look at what happens in episode 25 for my proof. Misato still got shot, but Asuka never gets up at all, there is nothing indicating her eva stands up again, she just stays there in the robot and feels sorry for herself until she gets tanged.

It's not meaningless, though. Like there, the crucifixion imagery, bodies actually on crosses, occurs around the manufacturing of a messiah and forcing it to apotheosis. Lilith is vivisected on a cruciform slab for your sins and Unit 01 is dragged into the sky by the palms.

They tore apart and crushed the Eva, then tossed it after carrying it far up into the sky. Not to mention the fact that she's bleeding out of her eye and has had her arm cut in half, the end result is that she's dead.

>>142155747
Toji lost some of his limbs, and in the manga he dies.
If he didn't die in the anime is because according to an interview, Anno was told to not to kill any of the human pilots by the producer. Nothing else. He was meant to die there. Asuka was also meant to die with Arael according to the Proposal: she's never mentioned after that.

I think a lot of you were not alive and watching anime in the 90s (Christ I am old).

A part of Evangelion's greatness is how it compares to everything other broadcast TV anime from it's time period. If you were a fan of anime in the 90s, you had a very limited library of shows to choose from and Evangelion's competition was shows like Ranma 1/2 and Dragon Ball Z. Anything that had characters that were not 1-dimensional was revolutionary, something that was normally reserved for theatrical releases like GITS and Akira.

If you wanted to watch a show, you would download a shitty .rmvb file on your 56k modem. It would take a few hours for god awful quality. But it did not really matter because every show lacked any kind of depth/characterization other than Cowboy Bebop.

In Japan it expanded anime's reach and became a huge national deal and started a lot of positive trends in anime (deeper characters, actual plots, etc). It also is an antecedent to a lot of what we see today (HS settings with kids with special abilities that are pseudo-scientific, further popularization of tsundere/kuudere, and showed that the market could financially profit from shows that had more depth).

I do not know that I would say that Evangelion is really deep but compared to everything in its time it was a huge leap forward.

Eva is the only show I've ever seen where I've thought it simultaneously to be pretentious and artistically brilliant at the same time. I don't think it's really that much of a stretch to connect the themes of religion to the hopes of a relief to grief and suffering, since religion was ultimately constructed to give us hope in the future and of a purpose for humanity. Some people even get depressed because of religion. My own interpretation that I like to use is that Yui is a representation of religious hope, and the frequent use of symbolism is to show how omnipresent she is, even in death, with her husband and son.

Heck, if you subscribe to the 'Death of the Author' model, you can just say that author opinion is irrelevant in the final construct, and just find meaning in whatever you like.
>>
friendly reminder that Tsurumaki was the one to say the judeo christian imagery was chosen to look cool while Anno was the one who researched it (extensively) and always dodges the question.

The cross explosions may not be genius allegories but Shinji's stigmata, the Tree of Life, chamber of guf, and some other things all have actual meaning besides "dude christianity lmao"

Judeo-Chistian deities secretly being alien invaders isn't an uncommon story element in Japan, it can be found in the Megaten series as well as Xenosaga for PS1.

rebuilds in general are disgusting, the quality of the characters has gone down, all so Anno can pin up his favorites, Asuka and Kaworu.

i can't even begin to talk about every single thing they did, or how they completely ruined misato's character, even before 3.33.

For example remember how in NGE kaji left the ship where we meet asuka after the angel arives because he wants to keep the adam embryo safe from the angels? Misato doesn't know this so she thinks he's leaving just because he doesn't want to get involved in all this. Then she sees him later at NERV and she gets mad at him; a completely reasonable reaction that makes a lot of sense and is consistent with her character and past.

In the rebuilds, the boat scene doesn't occur at all, so misato has no reason to be angry, yet she is.
>>
in the original script of either 23 or 24 Kensuke mentions that Shinji's classmates (the Marduk institute, all potential pilot candidates) are being transferred to Germany for an unknown reason. It's worth noting that the MP series was manufactured in Germany and though I believe canonically the dummy plugs in the MP series are Kaworu clones, it's believable they were originally supposed to run off the souls of Shinji's classmates.

I meant from the perspective of the author, it is pretentious, since I suspect Anno was just throwing cool shit and seeing what would happen. However, the random product of symbolism, when combined with the obvious artistic talent of Anno detailing his struggle with depression can give you a much greater experience. I'm pretty certain Anno wanted everyone who watched Evangelion to connect to it in their own way, and so he was using religious symbols to try and offer a guide.
>>
>>142159833
The official story is that the Marduk Institute screens everybody for a rare trait found only in children born into the fallout from Second Impact enabling synchronization with Evas. Makes no sense with the official report of Second Impact being a meteor impact, makes a lot of sense with what exploded in Antarctica and what Evas are made of, probably not true at all since Marduk is a sham and Nerv picks the pilots directly. Might still be true somehow since older children are never considered even in secret and pilot genetics and psychology still have a role.

>>142161067
Throwing in cool shit is not pretentious.
>>
>>142160221

Also that Evangelions harbor their mother's presumably unconsious souls. Do you guys think if an Eva was harboring the soul of a close friend of a pilot it would accept him or do you think the relationship is an an extension of biological instinct?
>>
>>142161227

Throwing in high concept ideas like religious symbolism, and using it extremely regularly, not to mention naming the Evas after it, without any deeper intended meaning behind it is pretty pretentious.
>>
>>142161305
Wasn't ever a strict requirement, Shinji synchronized with 00 and 02. And I thought this was going somewhere creepy but they both woke up when he did it.

>>142161419
No, you're projecting your western interpretation on to these things. The Christian stuff was never intended to be high concept. It's there to set a mood and be visually striking, nothing else.

None of the religious imagery was meant to be symbolic of anything though.

3.33 is really good and you can tell the real fans from the waifu fags by if they understand it or not

the only complaint that i can kinda agree with was that that everything that had been building up in 1 and 2 were just jumped over and we as the watcher have missed a great deal of events and have no idea what's going on, but that aslo puts us in shinji's shoes so i'm 100% certain it was anno's plan all along.

I hope we get some background in the next film.
>>
>>142161419

well an Evangelion literally means gospel which literally means an account of a messiah or savior but if you asked the creator he'd say it fit with the symbolism and that it meant "good luck" (it does).

Considering the Eva's save mankind from complete destruction and eventually save mankind from itself throughout the series I think any meaning you attach to it "just works".

My man you get me completely wrong, i love the original show and eoe is one of my favourite films of all time.

I view the rebuild films as a completely new thing and i do not get bothered by changes and i like anno trying an altogether new direction for the story. Just because i love the original and i'm 99% sure nothing will ever surpassed it does not mean that i close my mind to new and interesting takes on it.

You view the rebuilds in the wrong state of mind my man
>>
>>142161977
you don't understand

the rebuilds are Anno's attempt to rewrite history

this man is a pathetic waifufaggot and is prepared to remake the whole series just so people forget abour Rei and start liking his waifu Asuka more.

The entire rebuild series is an act of malice and disrespect against the original NGE.

>>
>>142161977
You don't understand the original, the Rebuilds, or Anno himself.
>>
>>142161713

I'm really not a waifufag in the slightest, I can't stand that about the fanbase and I hate Mari because I think everyone agrees that she's only there to pander to those fans. It's been that way for 3 movies now and she's had very minimal exposition. I always felt that the show was anti-waifufags considering that Shinji is kind of a deconstruction of an otaku. So the way Mari's been treated, and even Rei being all cute and shit, has given me feelings of reproach.

All I'm asking is, what the fuck's so great about 3 exactly? 01 got converted into the skeletal power source of a flying ship and Shinji's treated like dogshit even though they Misato egged him on, they all knew he had no idea of the consequences, not to mention 3rd-and-a-half impact... yet you still don't think it sucks? pls explain

I'm sure there is some important point/message with the mari character that will be revealed in 3.00 + 1.00. I maybe should not but i still have faith in that Anno is completely sure in what he is doing with the rebuilds and that 3.00 + 1.00 will be as an important film and impactful as end of evangelion, this maybe just is wishful thinking but i hope.
>>
>>142153170
are you saying hes just doing it for now reason?
>>
>>142162142

Asuka is not Anno's waifu, I've read an old interview where he says that he fails to see how anyone can feel that way about the. Fast forward two years and I think he's doing nothing but pandering to waifufags. Did you forget Shinji being a total Reifag in 2? Now he can pander to the Asukafags and even the Kaworufags. It's all fag this and fag that, fuck Rebuild.

So i ask you, how am i "memeing" if i state my personal opinion., that also in fact goes against the general consensus on this board and the evangelion community as whole?
>>
>>142162381
You're just stupid.

Anno is the worst otaku of them all and is merely using Evangelion to boost Asuka and Kaworu's popularity, because yes, he really is that petty. It has been going on for years now, and you're still in la-la land pretending otherwise.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Shinji's relationship with Rei in Rebuild is that of a psuedo parental kind of thing. Metaphorically and possibly quite even literally if Shinji ends up being a FAR as speculated.

Literally rewatch the movies again without the shipping goggles and instead look at Shinji's relationship towards Rei as a parental thing and it begins to make much more sense in terms of events, interaction, symbolism and so on. This shit has been foreshadowed since the first 15 minutes of 1.0.
>>
>>142169176
All maternal content in Rebuild really does revolve around Shinji. Because he's the only character confirmed to have a mother. Your mpreg fanfic is stupid.
>>
>>142169861
It may or may not be mpreg, but the relationship between him and Rei is definitely that of a parent and their kid, or and older sibling protecting their younger sibling.
>>
>>142169861
>>142169908
I'm surprised how many people miss this. I think deep down what Shinji wants is to be better than his father.
>>
>>142170059
Probably, and 2.0 kind of solidified this by how he treated Rei and people in general when things were going well.
>>
Okay let me break things down for you incase you still didn't get it.

Shinji was weak. Because he was weak he made mistakes. Because he made mistakes he hurt those around him and pushed them away.

In the end the result of his weakness was that he lost everything he ever knew or loved.

Don't be like Shinji. Learn from his mistakes and be stronger. Be the hero that someone needs in their life.
