>>143189797
This is simple, watch some"Welcome to NHK" , after that you may continue with Watamote.
Or you can just pretend and rewatch Lucky Star,OR YOU CAN learn to live with that painHell maybe even get some lessons out of it, you know just for kicks
>>143189966

>>143189797
what does it mean?
>>143190109
Just be glad it hasn't happened to you because I can tell you it's much worse than you can imagine.. so keep that fire of hate strong
>>143190255
I keep my distance to women because I know if I fell in love with a girl and she cheated on me I'd ruin my life and murder her
>>143190283
>>143190255
That and I'm a massive loser who doesn't have the will to take care of himself, extremely underweight, don't want you to think I'm a fatty
>>143190283
It was my first and only. I thought just like you. Literally one of my biggest fears to get cheated on. And when it happened it felt like a dream because I couldn't believe it was real. Waking up felt like a nightmare for a while. It was surreal it gives me goosbumps remembering the feeling.
Killing thought did go through my head.. I can atleast tell you that your fear of that happening is not an irrational one. Maybe I was just a pussy faggot I dont know...
Sorry for this gay ass blog.
>>143190283
If you do a good job of being a boyfriend then if she cheats on you you'll be able to do plenty of damage back to her simply by cutting her off.

You'd be surprised how much chemistry between personalities is way more important anon.

Truth be told I think this fear comes from an online relationship a few years ago. I've never had an irl girlfriend. I know you guys hate blogs but I need to kinda vent. The bitch cheated on me, sent nudes to my buddy. If it were a real life situation I'd have probably lost it all and killed her. I guess we all have some similarities
>>143190204
How do I make friends? Like meet people and stuff.
>>143190676
Not the same anon. But don't trust irl friends. Make friends online and keep them the closest. If you want I can be your friend

i just watched it for the first time too. I liked the ending but it came out of left field completely, would like to see the ending to the actual story.
anyone have a list of movie order?
>>143203117
WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE STILL HAVE TO ASK THIS QUESTION
FIRST SERIES
THEN EOE
THEN REBUILDS (if you want to)and if you have fallen as deep as I have, ALL the mangas including RE-TAKE
>>143198217
This whole board could be
>>143203117
1)watch the original series
2)then the death&rebirth movie
3)and then watch end of Evangelion
And you are done with the eva franchise. Everything else, like spinoff's, cashgrab's, doujins and manga are irrelevant.
>>143189966
>you saw a great anime, now watch this idiotic otaku pandering dreck.
>>143204990
this.
end of eva is canon even though it's shit.
>>143205080
i just watched it
w-what was that
i partly understand what happened and why things happened, im very confused
>>143205080
>shit
Fucking pleb
Sucks to hear you guys are feeling so lonely. It really is shit.
Since everyone else is blogging may as well too, Went through a break-up about 3 weeks ago and have been feeling fucking wonderful ever since (despite everything in my life being absolutely horrible). I've actually been reveling in it.
If I could try and give some really (probably terrible advice) it'd be this. Everything ultimately
becomes a matter of perspective in the end; depending on how you choose to frame your current
circumstances makes all the difference in the world. ISOLATION does not have to be SOLITUDE and
SOLITUDE can be a gigantic blessing. Being on your own can give you time to really put yourself together, do some deep inner work.
Use any solitude in your current life to try and find yourself, and then fall in love with yourself. Understand exactly who and what you are, then from there who and what you want to become. Try to take up a hobby, eat well. Do anything you can to try and improve your inner state. When you can reach a point where you can be totally alone and be completely fine with that, just you watch; people will fall outta the sky like magic and clamor for your fucking attention. It's the most bizarre thing. It's happened to me several times before in my life... But I always forget what I've learned, drive them all away and have to learn it all over again. ...Hopefully you're all a lot smarter than I am and learn the lesson the first time. You'll be fine. Really, I mean it. You will.
tl;dr Have a life worth living and people will want to be a part of it.
INB4 YER A FAGGIT AND YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME WAA
>>143205080
is there any actual symbolism with what happens i the final 20 minutes is it just there cause it looks cool, or is it just super anime autism? like what was up with rei becoming a god like figure?
>>143204990
You can watch the new movies as well, but you must have the elapsed time between them. Watch them as a commentary after you've absorbed the original series. Tha say, goo luk.

It happens at least once a month
Besides the ending (lol), I actually enjoyed the message. I learned about the hedgehogs dilemma from it.
>I pushed through it somehow.
All i want in Life's a little bit of Love to take the pain away.
>>143205164
Tell me which part you didnt get and i will help you understand them.
>>143205775
Okay
Was Rei the sole purpose as to why Shinji was allowed to decide the fate of the world?
If Rei could do what she did, why didn't Akari just execute the plans earlier?
How was the government or whatever able to predict the Angels and how many of them there were, and why did they need them to die?
If Genji accepted humankind why does he decide to go with the unificaiton and decide to live on his own?
Isn't what Genjo wanted to happen what ended up happening?
Does the imagery actually mean anything?
etc
I don't know man I binged the whole series and I'm tired.
>>143205895
I'll try my best
Yes
The third impact couldn't have happened without the work of SEELE
They could probably make predictions based off of adam and lilith
They needed to die because the whole point of the show is the angels are trying to reunite with adam and cause the third impact
He accepts humankind but let's everyone else choose to stay in LCL and live in their form of heaven, or come back to life and interact with others
No, Gendo only wanted the third impact so he could reunite with his wife, Yui
No, Anno specifically said the christian symbolism is solely there because it "looks cool"
>>143189966
> kek or watch mayoiga
>>143205988
So is there really no theme and meaning other than living as a bitch is no life at all?
Doesn't SEELE want to cause a third impact? I'm really confused on their plan. Like they wanted to go into soul form or whatever too right? Just like Gendo right?
What's the difference in what actually happened and what Gendo wanted?why is shinji such a bitch?why does gendo change his last name to his wife's?
>>143205895
Rei has the soul of Lilith in her. Gendo had adams embryo implanted in his hand. Pic related. And he wanted to start the third impact in order the re unite with his wife. Rei though, rejected him as you saw. The third impact could start with many ways, gendo wanted to control the impact by using rei.
No one knew exactly though what it meant to "start the third impact". Everyone becoming fanta, gendo didnt know that.
>>143205988
>No, Anno specifically said the christian symbolism is solely there because it "looks cool"
I thought he only said that about the title of the series.
what are the story changes between the remakes and manga?
AT FIELDO
SEKAI
>>143206105
SEELE wanted to cause third impact to start the human instrumentality project, which would be the next step in human evolution.
The human instrumentality project would make everyone in the world "one", and everyone would understand each other perfectly without any conflict.
This happens partially, but rei lets shinji decide if it should continue going or not, and shinji rejects it, thinking that it's better to interact with others and occasionally have conflict than to live without any sort of interaction at all.
That's my take on it, at least.
is evangelion actually deep
i liked the imagery and animation but is there really a lot more to it?
>>143205895
dude. i hate to say that but, there are some very good youtube videos about those questions.
"Evangelion explained in 7 minutes"
or
"Understanding evangelion"
Id recommend watching those. A bit cringey as expected, but they do the job.
I dont get what the difference in the seele's project was
>>143206247
alright anon thanks. im going to bed, going to finally finish cowboy bebop now.
>>143206262
Its as deep as you want it to be
>>143206310
SEELE wanted human instrumentality, Gendo wanted to kill everyone with no forced evolution and reunite with his wife
This series about a depressed director trying to convince himself that life is worth living. The only way to do that is trying to convince everyone else to become a normalfag apparently.
>>143206310
Gendo just wanted to be in Unit-01 with his wife
>>143206310
Seele where the good guys basically. But like i said, nobody knew exactly what was going to happen, what it meant to start the third impact. Gendo wanted the same thing as seele, but he didnt want to "risk" it and somehow not ending up re-united with yui thats why he stole the embryo and thats why he was so nice to rei. He didnt want to fuck her (ok, maybe he wanted to and maybe he did) his main objective was for rei to obey him. He wanted a "controlled" third impact for his sake. Seele wanted to good of all mankind. At least i think so. Its been 3 years since i watched it.
is the anime's ending supposed to be a representation of everyone being one? therefore an alt ending to the movie
>>143206357
so why didnt he just do what his wife did instead of trying to kill literally everyone? fucking hell
One thing I still don't understand is why it's called a "critique of the mecha genre"
>>143206456
real ending is accepting pain EoE is every one projecting their frustration on anon cause they won't accept it
RoE is anno's frustration at weebs
Reminder that nothing in evangelion so far is canon and only the 3.0+1.0 ending will matter.
>>143206501
because
boy is forced to enter mecha cause reason
boy is incredibly good and continues to fight because muh friends and shit

why did pilots need to be 14?
>>143206622
I don't think they need to be 14, they just need to have their parents inside the EVA
>>143206486
We don't know if that was possible
>>143189797
>But how do I get past the pain?
Watch End of Evangelion.
Like seriously that's the solution.
Why is knights of sidonia better
>>143206105
>why is shinji such a bitch?
Shinji is not as much of a bitch as he thinks he is - he regularly risks life and limb to save humanity without regard for the risk to him. He's a skilled cello player, even if he doesn't try to show it to anyone else (Asuka was back early from her date when she walked in on him).
Because of Gendo's abandonment, though, Shinji is convinced he doesn't deserve to live, and especially not if he hurts other people.
So piloting the Eva is tough for him, and the story is a repetition of Shinji doesn't want to pilot > Shinji pilots > Shinji hurts himself or others in the course of saving the world > Shinji contemplates his hand. It's a metaphor for life: you have to deal with the fact that you will hurt people just by existing.
>>143206105
> why does gendo change his last name to his wife's?
According to the N64 game, it's because she was the daughter of a high-ranking SEELE member, so he was marrying into the more prestigious family.
>>143206593
Reminder that Amuro was a whiny bitch and ran away as well.

Since the thread moved to symbolism in NGE
Ritsuko's mother was split into a mother, a scientist and a woman
Rei was split into a woman (rei 1), a pilot (rei 2) and a mother (rei 3)
I thought it was really neat how they explicitly pointed it out with ritsuko's mum and left it implied elsewhere
Speaking of which, i'm kinda iffy with the 'playing house' scene at the end. Aside from not being sure what the swing is supposed to represent, wouldn't it have been more appropriate for Asuka to kick the pyramid into the ground? She had the whole 'i'm disgusted by all of you' thing going on.
And about the end of EOE, asuka and shinji do the exact same thing. They check to see if they're really out of the fanta. Shinji chokes asuka almost on impulse because of his earlier outburst, and asuka tenderly puts her hand on his cheek, she's showing the kind of kindness/softness that she detests on the outside (of her AT field). Then once they realise they're back in reality, it's like they flip a switch and go back to their facades. IMO kimochi warui was her acknowledging that everything went to shit, not calling Shinji out.
>>143208409
>Rei was split into a woman (rei 1), a pilot (rei 2) and a mother (rei 3)
No, fuck off.
>wouldn't it have been more appropriate for Asuka to kick the pyramid into the ground?
I thought it was in episode 18 but it's actually in the Rebuild where he literally kicks the NERV pyramid.
>>143208644
I meant the scene on the playground in EoE, the one that blantantly tells you how shinji sees himself and the world around him. It would have been more apropriate for asuka to do the kicking imo, though i don't know how it coukd've been worked in.
Also, go back and pay attention to rei. It's obviously not a perfect split, rei 2 blushes when shinji tells her she wrings out like a mother, and slaps him when he disrespects her man. But come on, 'i have nothung else in this world' and the introspection in i-don't-remember-which-episode when she mentions there's many of them

I'm gonna second Wlecome to the NHK. Going in you may think that it's simply an otaku neet pandering anime with no depth but by the end of the series you'll realize that no matter how awful your situation you can always make it out through realizing things about yourself, and working on them.
It's not just a "hurr lets make a hentai dating sim game!!!: the anime". I hold it in my top 10, along with eva.
>>143209205
Haven't watched NHK, but doesn't he gets better thanks to a girl? it doesn't seems that helpful if the protagonist only manages to moves one becuase some woman falls from the sky to help me.
>>143189797
Shinji left everybody so they could be one and wouldn't have to hurt 'them'
Asuka left so she could be acknowledged like she wanted.
>>143209294
It only seems like that.
The moral of the story is a different one and the point of girl is not what you'd expect at first.
Just watch it.
>>143191206
I made friends in college thanks to starting japanese clases and joining the anime club.
Maybe you could try that, there's a high chance that most of the people there are obnoxious low power level weebs, but at least you'll have something in common.
>>143209294
Having not watched NHK either, a woman dropping into your life is not impossible or even implausible, and a high quality woman can keep you on the right track or make you turn around. But it requires you to have your shit together in the first place, if not even more than that. So yeah, by the time you're allowed to rely on others you won't need to.
Make the man in the mirror happy /a/nons, everything else will fall into place.
>>143209551
>it requires you to have your shit together in the first place
Well, considering that the premise is that the protagonist is a neet it doesn't seems like he had his shit together for starters.
