How do we make Evangelion popular again?
>>
Anno is doing all he can right now by not releasing anything. It's the McRib strategy: make something mediocre "exclusive" so people froth at the mouths when they get a chance to have it.

Why? We don't need to make it popular. The quality of a show doesn't increase just because it's watched by the masses. To be exact, it's quite the other way around for /a/. The more a show is watched /liked the more it's considered shit on /a/. That's why everyone hates SAO although it's basically a masterpiece. Just kidding. But you get the concept though, cuntnugget.

also - like there is this one particular video which will appeal to only a very select grouping of people (comparing Twin Peaks and Neon) - but it is very good - and talks about where episodes sit in the overall structure of the series in a really interesting way that goes beyond 'it gets darker'.

/a/, I've generally avoided anime as a medium since I stopped being a middle schooler 10 years ago. I recently decided to binge through NGE, EoE and the rebuilds after listening to a slam remix of cruel angel thesis. It was disappointing more than anything, but I've really never been one for bittersweet endings. I have decided though to try out some other anime. I know there's an image that's occasionally posted that has a metric fuckton of suggestions for newfags, so does anyone mind posting it?

She's jealous of Shinji not Rei. She also can show more emotion in 1 episode than Rei does in the entire series. They're all puppets of Nerv in one way or another. Jesus I knew Reifags were retarded but you always find a way to top it.

Most of the people who post on Eva threads are hopelessly misguided. Did you all watch evangelion for the waifus? I think you did. And if that is the case, then it was the wrong show to watch. Shows like To love ru, high school DxD and Monster musume are more up your alley. More waifus and you don't need your brain to watch those. Those 5 people who actually understood evangelion know that Eva is not about the waifus or the deep symbolism, but it's about the characters, their struggles, relationships and psychology. True Eva fans appreciate all of the characters and understand all
Is those characters, but casual fags will turn the discussion into another retarded red vs blue fight.
>>
>>142556341
it was being it's own thing though, it's a joke that works because the idea of Rei and Shinji having any kind of build between them has gotten ridiculous at this point, and managed to write something original that just had everyone attacking it right away just because the template was borrowed

you recant the 3rd movie, then make more diverging from the original story line. Validate the time loop theory, then have Shinji make better decisions but end up just as miserable.

Eva is wrapped in irony. I think this is one of the things that is really interesting about it.

I mean it practically created the waifu wars yet it is vehemently an anti-waifu show, any by extension, anti-otaku.

It is one of the most popular landmarks of anime garnering global attention, yet is such a non-mainstream anime.

which is exactly the reason why the show goes out of its way to show the dangers of otaku. i.e. trying to escape into fantasy an avoiding painful reality. the shows theme is literally "i must not run away".

>Interviewer: What? If you say so. I guess Shinji isn't always right.
>Anno: Why do people think the protagonist’s thoughts and actions are always right?
>Interviewer: So it is. Shinji once said “It's ok to run away.”
>Anno: Yes, this is the theme. Running away is not bad. Thinking that running away is always the right thing to not to escape is a fixed thinking pattern. You can’t always do the right thing. In episodes 25 and 26, there are the following lines: like “If you want to run away, then just do it.” Escape itself has good and bad consequences. People have to make the decision if they want to live. There is gain and loss in life. If you do nothing, there is noting to loss and nothing to gain. Humans can’t advance without hurting others. If you are afraid of hurting people, then you are just remain stagnant. Not escaping doesn’t mean there will be no problems, you can’t run away because sometimes bad things happen when you run away. But if running away makes you feel good, then why not?

No.

That's still a fairly anitescapist interpretation. Escapism as it's usually understood isn't actually escaping the situation you dislike, it's ignoring the situation you dislike with some sort of distraction. What's being said here is that running away is fine, as long as running away is something that's done to make a situation better, not something to forget about the situation entirely.

They scrapped a scene where Gendo was going to talk to the U.S. president over the phone in English. I can't even imagine how that would have turned out.

Sakamoto's English was decent enough, she just didn't have the proper inflection.

You could even do it without whitewashing. The US has two Nerv bases and two Evas. Just make a story about those.

Evangelion is already very popular, but if we're to make it more popular and respected:

Stop making garbage like 3.33. Rebuild should never have been made if it was going to just abandon it's plot when it came over the half-way mark for simple otaku pandering.

I expected more of Hideaki Anno, which is why it was disappointing.
>>
>>142569852
>>142569925
I wonder sometimes if that's the intent, some kind of enforced death of the author thing where he says things to contradict everything else he ever said until you just hold up whatever you were already inclined to believe as confirmed. Or if he's bluffing and wasn't that involved to begin with.
>>
>>142569022
Not really, in the original anime plus EoE we follow a general human theme moreso than an escapist one. The anti-escapism message is ironically the work of otaku who project their own self-loathing and insecurities onto Evangelion.

Not that I don't think there isn't a fit, but the themes in Evangelion are quintessentially human first and foremost.

But look at Anno AFTER Evangelion - his every anime-work and own production, even interviews has slanted towards his own style of introverted escapist otakuism.

Rebuild in particular is a good example.

Remember we also have this (though otaku does not mean the same here and in Japan):

>KT - (laugh) For example, Hideaki Anno says that, "Anime fans are too introverted, and need to get out more." (...) Hideaki Anno's comments on "Evangelion" + "Evangelion" are that it is a message aimed at anime fans including himself, and of course, me too. In other words, it's useless for non-anime fans to watch it. If a person who can already live and communicate normally watches it, they won't learn anything.

>I feel otaku have already become common to all countries. (...) I say critical things towards otaku, but I don’t reject them. I only say that we should take a step back and be self-conscious about these things. I think it’s perfectly fine so long as you act with an awareness of what you are doing, self-conscious and cognizant of the current situation. I’m just not sure it’s a good thing to reach the point where you cut yourself off from society. I don’t understand the greatness of society, either. So I have no intention of going so far as to call for people to give up otaku-like things and become more suited to society. Only, I think there are many other interesting things in the world, and we don’t have to reject them.

>Anno: Right. Even returning once and then leaving again is okay, I think. Otaku only know the otaku world. Including myself. They don’t know the world [of society at large]. But I think, when you sense the limits of your own measure of things, you have to compare with the measures of others, and the adjust for the difference.)

There was also an interview where he said something like he recognised he failed at making his points more clear, though. But I can't find it.
>>
>>142571401
The point was very clear, the characters even look at the camera and explain it to the audience. I guess the audience is just too stupid, they intentionally want to miss the point or a mix between both
>>
People who say "Anno is anti-otaku" need a reality-check. Explain why Anno is making extremely pro-otaku works then.

The whole thing is nothing but a meme made by people who don't want to feel bad for being otaku themselves. Because it's OK if they enjoy Anno's otaku schlock if they convince themselves it's actually anti-otaku.
>>
>>142571804
>Explain why Anno is making extremely pro-otaku works then.
Money.
>>
>>142571833
If money was the sole reason, he'd be more prolific and he wouldn't limit himself to purely the otaku market when Evangelion already has more than a foot into the more general market.

Regardless, he can't be anti-otaku through his works by making otaku works. That just doesn't work.

>>142570573
2 Eva bases that serve for nothing exactly, unless my memory fails me. One of the Evas went to Japan, only for the Dummy Plug to wreck it apart. The other one ... the other one is barely mentioned.
It would be better to do it about the Germoney bases, since one of them is the one where the S^2 engine exploded and killed a whole city, anf the other one is where Eva-02 came from. Besides, it isn't whitewashing to have a white Asuka, as she was white to begin with.
Why are we using such a Tumblr term, anyways ?
>>
>>142572029
Your memory fails you. Eva 04 blew up Second Branch in Nevada, Eva 03 was sent from the First Branch in Massachusetts right after because, goddamn, that last one vaporized Area 51, US is done.

The Rebuild movies are ridiculously popular among everyone in Japan. To say that they're "otaku centric" is silly.
>>
>>142572406
But then what could such a movie be about ? I could read an entire book on fiction Eva biology, but I sure as hell wouldn't sit for 2 hours to watch Evas being built.
>>
>>142572470
To say that they aren't otaku-centric is silly. Out of the three Rebuild movies, only the second one stands out as being particularly favored by the public. It outsells the other two by a large margin, and always does much better in TV-ratings and when rated on japanese rating services.

Considering the 2nd Rebuild as it's most popular example still puts it well below e.g Ghibli, One Piece or similar works that are more mainstream.

The Rebuild movies aren't unpopular, but they're clearly not as popular as they could have been. It's too fetish-oriented for normal people who want to do something else besides pretending there's a story, or write their own fanfiction to fill the gaps.

The characters are mostly walking fetishes. They have no character arcs of their own or development.

It applies mostly if not only to the third Rebuild, as the first two did have a story progress.

Seriously. There's nothing that Asuka did that Shinji couldn't have done himself. The only angels that she was actually instrumental in taking down were the giant fish, the music one and Sandalphon. None of which Shinji and Rei couldn't have done themselves. At most she was canon fodder while Rei tossed the spear at areal. Asuka literally added nothing to the team. Given a chance I think even Touji would probably do a better job than her.

guys. help me understand evangelion. I have recently watched it for the first time.

I watched the show from episode 1 - 26. Then I started watching death and rebirth, but stopped it soon because i realized it was just the show in a short format. then i watched the end of evangelion (i was blown away).

My conclusion was that the anime essentially is show episodes 1-24 + the end of evangelion being the last 2 (real) episodes. when i went back to death and rebirth i saw that after intermission theres actually something new coming, but its really just what is shown in end of evangelion again..

Now i find out some days ago that there is this 1.11, 2.22 and 3.33 shit. what about that? is it just another stupid remake of the show? And who the fuck is that third girl i know nothing about, and why is she making me so angry?

Said it before, I'll say it again. I would've liked Asuka's introduction more if Rei wasn't wasted potential, even thoguh I remain a Reifag.

Episodes 25 and 26 take place during the "Instrumentality" section of EoE. When Shinji is in the "dream world", he is also going through the introspection present in 25 and 26. After the congratulations scene, Shinji wakes up, speaks with Rei about dreams in EoE, and then he is released back into the real world.

As for the Rebuilds, no one knows yet. They could be a sequel, a prequel, or just a bizarre remake of the series.
