>>142707388
How did you understarn the plot at that age?
>>142707373
18 probably. Maybe 19. Why?
>>142707511
>Forgot one question
What did you interpret at that age?
>>142707454
I watched it and saw what happened. It's not exactly a complex plot.
12
>>142707373
Probably 13
>>142707373
13 maybe. I wasn't prepared for it.
Stop posting your current age or you get banned.
>>142707373
As old as this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oICHvlqApBc&feature=youtu.be
In my 20s because I liked the television ending better.
If you watched Eva for the first time post 2006, you should get the fuck off from /a/ and never come back.
17
Didn't understand a whole lot because I was never good with symbolism and hidden meanings, but all I know is that I felt like shit once it was over for some reason

So this year.
>>142709727Four years ago
15.
The biggest thing I took away from it was the Shinji and Asuka were supposed to be a new Adam and Eve. A literal New Genesis from the Evangelion.
>>142707373
17. That was almost 3 years ago wow
around 17 i guess. Sadly i saw the TV ending in 1998 and the EoE in 2004, so i spent being 5 years butthurt after the pile of shit the original final was.
>>142707373

>>142709662

19. Seven years ago.
>>142707373
Like, 19? Yeah, 19.
So old enough that me perving on Asuka and Rei was still pretty fucking bad.
>>142707373
23
The first time I saw Eva I was like 12 though.
15, but it was a couple years after it came out, and I had looked at some of the theories/explanations before hand, so I didn't really have trouble figuring out what was happening at any point. I don't think doing that really took away from the experience for me. Tumbling down still hit me pretty damn hard.
>>142709778
>Shinji and Asuka were supposed to be a new Adam and Eve
No, anybody could materialize when they wanted to. Also the title is just gibberish that Anno thought sounded cool.
>>142712749
>the title is just gibberish that Anno thought sounded cool.
One of my favorite things is how Japanese creators will sometimes do that. Just come up with a few words they think sound really fucking cool and stick them in the title. I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head, but there's some good ones.
16
>>142707373
20. Still took me a few days to fully process it though.
>>142707373
I saw this when I was 19
Am I the only person on /a/ that was not as much disturbed after watching it?
It was pretty late at night I was getting sleepy, after I finished it I watched another episode of some funny moeshit(maybe it was MH) and slept.
>>142707373
12 or 13.
Can't really remember.
>>142707373
18
I waited for new years 2016 to watch it though
>>142714464
It was bad for me, because I watched right after binge watching the series for the first time. I then made the mistake of watching the rebuild immediately after. It was just too much fucking Eva.
I've only seen the TV series, but that was decades ago
>>142707373

Watched it for the first time 2 months ago, Im 22, fuck the police.
never seen any evangelion...
>>142715718
Why are you on /a/?
17. I missed on a lot of the symbolism because I was focusing on the waifu material. I was also too invested in the characters and how badly they were hurting to care for the actual plot.
something did trigger inside me, though. the imagery, maybe the tone. the idea of ending everything really resonated with me.
that's when I figured suicide wasn't such a bad idea.

>>142716169
I ended up watching NGE and EOE for the first time during the respective times when they took place in universe
I watched NGE during fall and winter 2015, and i watched EOE on new years
>>142716040
>>142716250

17 or 18.
22 now.
>>142709662
knew about it and how its god tier since 2001. savored it till a year after 3.0. I should have waited till I was on my death bed to watch it. I'm probably going to wait 10 years after 4.0 comes out to what that.
12, it was on SBS
>>142707373
11-12ish.
>>142707373
I haven't seen it, but I remember watching the entire evangelion when I was like 13(?) I think. Definitely early in puberty
16.
After I was done I stared directly at the blank laptop screen for 10 minutes astonished. I wish I kid you but my mind exploded. Also I saw it right after finishing the series
>>142707373
I think 15
27
Thought it was shit.
Considering the series was on VHS, and I had to fight to finally see EoE, I'm gonna go with 13.
Blew my little teenage mind, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it deep. I thought it took balls to make something like that, and the soundtrack was excellent.
About 15, I guess?
Blew my fucking mind, honestly.
>>142707373
>implying I'd watch this piece of shit
I was 8 when I saw it air in adult swim, then on the Sundance channel saw EoE a year later. If your wondering I understood completely; life's a bitch.
>>142719775
Life's a bitch, but it's a hot bitch that's DTF
>>142719824
Yeah but she's like that with everyone, that's how aids was spread.
>>142707373
I was 22. I had seen the series on SBS as a kid (can pin down how old, definitely single digits), but I was too young to get any of the symbolism. I had never watched any of the films. Marathoned the whole series and finished with EoE. Afterwards I came down with pneumonia. Double lung, fevers reaching 42C, I thought I was going to die. All my hallucinations were in one way or another influenced by EoE, and they were terrifying. I waw bouncing between fearing death and dying to actually welcoming and embracing it. In the end I had to be strapped to my hostipal bed, and then I got filled with tranquilisers. I still flinch every time i hear the opening chords to 'Komm, Susser Tod'.
Some time has past since then, and I've recently rewatched the film. It was a little uncomfortable because of my experience but not impossible to sit through. In a strange way it added a new level of enjoyment to the film.
I was 17. Didn't understand shit, thought it was overhyped.
Watched it again a few months back (i'm 22 now) and realized it's actually really good.
>>142707373
I was in high school, probably 16, maybe 15. I wasn't a dumb fuck by that time so I knew that the people going on about muh symbolism were full of shit, but it still impressed me, like watching Lain for the first time or Takashi Miike's films.
I had the whole thing on pirated VHS tapes that I bought online. I'm not even sure what belongs to The End of Evangelion and what to Death & Rebirth since I binged on it and haven't watched it again in ages.
I think it's easy to underestimate how much of a trip something like EoE can be for a teenager, especially during that time when both the internet and otaku culture were getting popular, but still retained some mystery. When it was easier to pirate physically and you couldn't just google everything, because google and wikipedia didn't exist and anime databases were in their infancy.
>>142707373
I still haven't
>>142707373
I was 22 when I rewatched Eva and then decided to watch EoE. I just watched the TV ending when I was a teenager, I was 13 or 14 back then.
>>142707373
high school. It seemed pretty easy to understand. I enjoyed the manga's ending a little better, but it's a little disappointing that the dead characters seemed to remain dead.
>>142708347
15-16 I guess.
Really fucks you up for life. (that is not a bad thing)
>>142707373
16. Borrowed it on VHS from a friend. Tried to watch it while my dad was home. What a horrible mistake.

14. I'm italian an the rating on dvd was G. But after the scene of Asuka and white evas I wasn't able to sleep well for days
About 21. Kinda wonder what would happen if I saw it sooner.
15. It had little to no effect on me. I was just mad because of the shitty picture quality from the Manga dvd release I rented from blockbuster.

>>142707373
15. I didn't get it but I really like the atmosphere of mixing science, religion and psychology.
I'm 25 now and I'm currently re watching NGE, and will finish with EoE. So far I'm enjoying it much more than back then.
>>142707373
I was 46.
I thought it portrayed amazingly well how terrifying even a Friendly Sysop Singularity would be. I didn't expect, given the TV ending, that Shinji would end up fucking over the entire planetary ecosystem outside the upload system.

15 when I watched the series.
sometime in middleschool when it was on "the cutting edge" ondemand on adelphia. after comcast bought them out a few years later, they stopped having cool shit ;_;This scene always creeped me the fuck out. Rei I was weird as fuck
14 or 15?
At least it was nice that during high school I had a few friends to discuss and watch the series with.
I've only seen bits and pieces., but I think I understand the gist of it well enough. I feel no need to watch it.
I'm 25
14, just like the characters and my father is a terrible person. Watching it on TV is probably the most overwhelming experience I had in my life.
>>142709662
Ha, I watched it in 2004 and people on forums fucking despised the likes of me, like "fuck you, you didn't get those yellow fansub CDs you new fans are terrible". Nothing changed.
>>142707373
15
>>142707373
13. My parents recorded the show for me on our VHS, including all the phone sex commercials inbetween.
It aired here in six blocks past midnight.
>>142707373
26I saw it last monthIt sucked
>>142729218
I want to add a couple of things.
First, my friend saw it too. And I was like "Shinji jacks off to Asuka in EoE". But he was like "nah, you're shitting me". I tried to convince him, but he didn't believed it and then he watched first half of EoE with his dad. He didn't make it to second half, so I had to tell it to him, but I understood it pretty poorly. I managed to convey the idea that Shinji didn't accept instrumentality and got out of the sea though.
Second, people were so dumb back then. Like remember that retardation that the woman that Shinji chokes is a mix of Asuka, Rei and Misato? How dumb that is. Now I rewatched it and I was like "okay, everyone recreated their image of themselves, s Asuka recreated herself with damaged eye and arm because spear pierced her eye and arm before she died" Like, how complicated is that? But the biggest problem is that we took all of "symbolism" seriously. Like, I actually read the bible because of Eva (and all Freid, and listened to classical music, I also was making VN about Rei). Like Sephirotic tree, I studied that shit and tried to firure out which sphere refers to what character. But, even if all that stuff is bullshit the character stuff is incredibly solid, every time I rewatch eva I expect to be dissappointed, but no every time I just discover new things to appreciate.
24, watched it two months ago.
I love the perfect amount of mystery throughout and the character relations. I didn't consider deep but super cryptic. It does a good job of actually explaining the point near the end.
I kind of wish I watched it in highschool though.
>>142707373
14. No joke.
I think this series was pretty difficult for people who are christians or those who have read the bible, as there is little meaning in what the bible characters do, its all about the characters. The bible stuff maybe confuses christians into thinking its something else and hence when they dont get anything out of it they call it pretentious.
17.
It's one of the first times I can remember that I was really affected by a piece of art. It fucked with my thoughts for a long while.
EoE didnt have that much impact on me. I liked it for what it was trying to show but it didnt gave restless nights or 'fucked me up'.
I can never understand people who say this.
I saw it when I was 19, and I had already seen many other great and influential movies and anime.
>>142731239
To add, I watched space odyssey 2003 a few days before it and it fucked me up much more
I remember, it was 14 years ago.
I never did, really. At the time, I got too tired trying to search for the damn thing online and gave up, instead watching some of the scenes that are uploaded on Youtube and reading what happened inevageeks.
>>142731239
Unlike all to much cinema, EoE completely holds back from anything like sentimentality. That gives its unrelenting emotional brutality more impact.
Plus, Asuka reminded me painfully of parts of my teenage self, so she'd already become top-tier daughteru material while I'd been watching the series. Seeing her get the shit end of the stick all the way through hurt.
>>142709662

"NGE is a mishmash of religious symbols with inexplicable, very loose or even non-existent connections to the actual story-line, bundled together with a cast of some sick, seemingly sociopathic and weird characters, plus a large dose of confusing science fiction." - copy/paste because I'm lazy.
So.. NGE was released in 1995, EoE in 1997. Sure, it did have an impact on the industry, but there were tons of other anime at that time, that wasn't garbage [DBZ, Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Macross7, Samurai Pizza Cats, SEL, Cowboy Bebop] the list goes on), that had impacted the industry, and continues to do so. Just because something "had an impact on an industry" doesn't make it immediately good. Because seriously, Gundam Wing was total ass, but it impacted the industry pretty well.
The only thing remotely good about eva was making me have such an intense passionate hatred for the characters... which in itself is pretty awesome, it's far easier for me to love a character than hate a character to the point of EoE being basically a release.
So, fuck you and your "shit bait'. This anime sucked balls. I don't think the budget cuts give it much leeway for me either, considering plenty of other anime had even lower budgets and came out pretty mint.

NGE created the modern late night anime market. Anime as you know it now likely wouldn't exist were it not for NGE. Hell, Serial Experiments Lain and Bebop both likely wouldn't exist were it not for NGE.
As for your point at the begining, the symbolism stuff is a typical western misinterpretation of what those symbols were there for and what they meant. The only character in NGE that is clearly sociopathic is Gendo, and even that is arguable.
I don't really understand why you hate the characters so much. What about them so deeply bothers you?

>>142738321
> typical western misinterpretation
What...? This is a direct quote from people who worked on it, and the legend himself.
"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."
– Kazuya Tsurumaki, Assistant Director of Neon Genesis Evangelion
“Evangelion is like a puzzle, you know. Any person can see it and give his/her own answer. In other words, we’re offering viewers to think by themselves, so that each person can imagine his/her own world. We will never offer the answers, even in the theatrical version. As for any Evangelion viewers, they may expect us to provide the ‘all-about Eva’ manuals, but there is no such thing. Don’t expect to get answers by someone. Don’t expect to be catered to all the time. We all have to find our own answers.”
– Hideaki Anno, Director of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Where exactly do the rebuilds fit on the Eva timeline?
>>142712858
>serial experiments lain
>eden of the east
>ghost in the shell
fucking cool titles
>>142738595
Yes, and you've misinterpreted them. The Christian symbols are not literary symbols within the context of the work. They are things that actually happen within the context of the work and they exist to grant a sense of import and significance to the proceedings of the story.

No? It's a really overrated anime. Next thing you're going to say is everyone that hasn't watched Erased yet should get out of /a/ too. Not everyone watches flavor of the season shit. And, considering the severe quantity of Eva threads we have and the severe quantity of replies. I can assure you many people watched it this year. And many are as underwelmed as ever by this pretentious SoL harem teen-angst shit. It's cowboy bebop all over again.

Notice how you've not actually done anything worthy of a reply? All you did was draw hastily conclusions and base your response off of those. Instead of actually replying to what I have to say you are essentially just talking to yourself. You're also making an issue out of something so utterly devoid of meaning. Can't handle actually responding to what I have to say. Why did I even respond to your delusional ramblings? I'm too nice for this place.
>>142739544
>>142739924
>Notice how you've not actually done anything worthy of a reply
There's nothing worthwhile to reply to. You've call it overrated, and then instead of elaborating on why, you bring up a strawman by baselessly comparing it to unrelated seasonal tripe. This is identical to comparing your post to plebbit.
>I can assure you many people watched it this year
This is stating an obvious, not disproving the post you're replying to. Them you go to spew some buzzword like "SoL" and "pretentious", of course not elaborating, and only serving to cheaply trivialize the show. Good job, retard.
Making an Eva thread on /a/ is like disecting a frog.

>>142742782
Well, yes, obviously. But to be clear, I did understand you, but what I understood was that you dislike the show and don't know how to actually critique it in a meaningful way.

>>142743159
I saw plenty in it, far more than you most likely.
I'm just willing to admit what I saw in it isn't particularly complex and is rather common in literature and similar mediums.
>>142743173
You're just ignoring the opinions of others that may have saw something in it, just because you didn't. You understand that humans are subjective creatures. You're just ignoring that there might be depth to a show because you didn't actually try digging for it.
16.
>>142743173
Yet you watched it nonetheless and are here "discussing" it.
>>142743322
Why would I not? It's my favorite show. And precisely because it's my favorite Anime I can admit that it isn't very deep, despite emotionally affecting me.
>>142743237
Ok, so you don't find it complex. So if you saw through it, you can't say that there wasn't any depth to it. Sure it might have been obvious to you of "such great taste" but you should probably consider that there is at least something to it that may set it apart from other shows in the Japanese animation industry.
>>142707373
Still did not.
This whole conversation is dumb. What do you mean by "deep?"
>>142743357

Even the staff say themselves it's just a ripoff of the shows before it, though. So not exactly.

Embracing Eva for what it is and its flaws instead of lying about it means I like it far more than you do.

third grade psych here guys! be aware! he will throw with poop

I see your opinion, and I'm glad we came to a conclusion. Quite suprising to find a good diccussion for the first time visiting /a/ in a while.

Didn't understand any of it, sort of liked it, remembered about it years later, watched it often through my teens slowly understanding it better each time
>>142743357
>my favorite anime is a children's cartoon
Haven't you dug yourself into some kind of corner here? Next you'll be calling Naruto an avant-garde artistic masterpiece, all the while maintaining that actual worthwhile shows like Eva are in fact not very "deep" at all.

>i like evangelion more than you
Is this kindergarten? This is exactly why I put off watching evangelion for so long. The fanbase is so fucking retarded.
I don't necessarily disagree with you though. There are quite obviously a lot of "let's throw in this shit and make it seem deep" going on in Evangelion. Didn't they even confirm that they indeed made explosions and shit look like christian crosses just because they wanted it to seem meaningful?
>>142743495
>it's just a ripoff of the shows that came before it
This is basically how all creative people make stuff. Being able to bring together elements of the things you like in an effective and compelling manner is a significant skill.
>>142743714
this image is making me butthurt. its mixed with actual achievements worth the attention and complete utter bullshit.
>>142743733
Yes, looking important the only reason for the Christian stuff, but it's a perfectly legitimate usage.

15. I'm actually rewatching the entire series now and enjoying.
I have never watched it. I'm glad I watched Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and the Big O instead during Toonami's midnight showing. So many edge lords think Evangelion is deep just because they were 10 when they watched it and had the Christian cross, so deep.
Should I watch the director's cut? I've seen the regular series, does it add that much to it?
>>142745199
there is a directors cut for episodes 21, 22, 23, and 24 - those are the only episodes
and yes, they do add quite a few more scenes which clarify a few plot points
they also have better animation in a few scenes apparently
>>142745199
Yes, especially 22.
It also adds more into the context of EoE
first time? 16
>>142745427
While adding some of the bigger plot holes in the franchise.
Do you agree, /a/?

16.I can't believe it's been 2 years since I first watched it.

Okay, you're just shitposting at this point.
>>142743714
It is a children's cartoon. Most Anime are.
It just happens to be favorite among them, but I can recognize that what it has to say isn't very revolutionary or complex. In fact it's been done hundreds of times before in the medium, and executed even better.
>>142745191
i was 21, and i dont care about the christian cross. youre an ignorant murifag

im not shitposting, you are

ESL-kun pls
I just watched death. I guess it explained a bit?
>>142707373
Saw the whole series for first time in December, 2015. Saw EoE on New Years Eve 2015 (same date as when EoE takes place).
I was 29 and felt like shit because Shinji is only 13 and I identify with him waaayy too much.
>>142748927
It had antiinformation.

I watched it when I was 15, I'm 20 now, still my favorite anime of all time, I keep discovering new things everytime I rewatch it
I just finished it a hour ago. 1.11, 2.22, and 3.33 are way better
