How much money do Eva pilots make and how often are they paid?
>>143452179
It's a volunteer position.
>>143452179
as much as the janitors who work at Nerv
>>143452310
You're telling me they don't even get any benefits or free housing afterwards? They clearly aren't going to be able to live normal lives anon. There must be some sort of payment plan even for just the basics.
I think I saw it broken down once with them being paid as fighter pilots in 2015, something like ¥4,000,000 a year.
But really they could be promised pretty much anything, the world ends in 6 months if everything goes to plan and sooner if it doesn't, they aren't collecting.
Are there any other conformed anime mech pilots income we can sort of base this off of? Literally any anime mech pilot would work.
>>143452351
Free beachfront property.
>>143452427
The better question is what anime mech pilots get paid the most.
Given how absolutely outrageous NERV's budget is, they could be paid a few million dollars no problem. They're probably volunteers, though.
I could see the Japanese pilots not get paid but surely Asuka and Mari would definitely be getting paid right?
>>143452459
Most likely the pilots from Aldnoah Zero. They're the only ones I can honestly see getting paid.
>>143452462
What makes you think Nerv isn't strapped for money?
>>143452573
Just look at the scale of their projects. They have a few million to spare for sure. Just moving an Eva from point A to point B must cost a shit ton of money.
>>143452613
That last statement basically proves my point. How do you know they're not in debt already?
>>143452310
No wonder they unwillingly ride them.
>>143452613
Gendo was gone for a couple of episodes trying to get more money though
>>143452489
Asuka would be willing to pay NERV to keep piloting and Mari immigrated illegally.
>>143452459
Simon from TTGL. he gets paid by the Square foot.
>>143452838
>Asuka would be willing to pay Nerv to keep piloting
That's literally some SpongeBob tier autism.
>>143452902
What do you mean by that? So every square foot he travels in his robot he gets paid a certain amount?
>>143452351
>You're telling me they don't even get any benefits or free housing afterwards?
Rei had her place paid for by Gendo, and Misato probably got paid a stipend for hosting them.
They got the free housing.
>>143452459
Pilots from the top teams in IGPX.
>>143452920
As opposed to Mari, who just broke in and acted like she worked there like those autists that impersonate train drivers.
>>143453330
She does work there.
>>143452489
Then how do they live?
Rei lives alone, what about water, power bills?
Food?
Shinji was also supposed to live alone before he got adopted
Asuka also got adopted immediately so Misato gets payed because they eat at her place
>>143453358
I remember Misato just going along with her because she was fighting the angel and you can't call the Eva back because the angel would destroy everything
>>143452459
Probably Char
Hey OP, NGE would have been a better show if they included this.
A it just me or is there a severe lack of protection for the three kids despite them being earths only hope? They lost Shinji and he got punched in the face and Asuka ran away and almost died in a bathtub and Rei could literally get an Reis house is a safety hazard and she's really the one who needs a caretaker to be honest and after all that Shinji and Asuka live with a drunk child molester. Wouldn't they have been better living with Maya or Something? No one transports them to school and back and other places as well.
>>143453415
Umm, yea it would have anon. It would have made for a good plot device or at the very least a good laugh.
>>143453391
>I remember Misato just going along with her because she was fighting the angel and you can't call the Eva back because the angel would destroy everything
They knew she was coming since they had a suit for her ready for her. Also when they're sealing Unit 02 and Asuka says she's the only one that can pilot it and Ritsuko alludes to Mari being on standby by saying they have replacements for everything, even the pilots. Misato was just out of the loop.
If I'm not halucinating, in the manga they state that they get paid.
Or it might be in retake, it's late and I am not thinking straight.
>>143453455
I dunno anon, I think that if you want to go this way there are numerous complaints about the whole setup.
what would they even spend their money on
Shinji probably buys only coffee and smut
Asuka dunno new clothes that nobody notices
Rei doesn't even
>>143453583
I could easily imagine Asuka blowing tons of money and Shinji could at the very least upgrade his music player.
>>143453455
Gendo has a million Reis ready for launch, Shinji and Asuka are only there because he wants to keep them a secret unless necessary
>>143453480
>should we tell the mission commander about the new pilot?
>no, if we tell her she'll adopt her too and she's out of bedrooms in that place
You probably don't realize it but Shinji would likely buy the shit any rich guy does for the same reasons. To impress girls. Fancy cars, big house etc. he's a boy after all and he's not immune to feminin charm.
There is a certain confidence and arrogance that comes from being rich. It would probably balance Shinji out.
I think everyone at NERV gets paid in Rei clones
>>143452838
>>143453330
>Mari
Who?
>>143453778
Sign me up.
>>143453782
the meme pilot
>>143453778
now that's a cheerful thought
>>143453639
he wouldn't dare replace his beloved fathers walkman
>>143453778
I was going to protest because of Maya and Rits but I remembered they're complete lesbians.
>>143453829
>pay Ritsuko with Rei clones
>she strangles them anyway
wew nice investment
>>143453582
That's the thing is I don't even think I'm being picky, doesn't that just seem obvious?
>>143452356
>¥4,000,000 a year
Fight pilots are officers. Are Japanese officers making that little compared to their Western counterparts?
Everybody always bragging about how they'd get into the robot. Doesn't seem so fun now ha?
>>143453908
compare purchasing power
>>143452320
I used to be a highschool janitor. That's like $600 a month during the summer and around $350 regular monthly pay.
>>143453993
If they had absolutely no bills it wouldn't be that bad.
>>143452457
>>143453718
I can't decide if it's funnier if he spends it on a motorcycle, or on cooking experimentation and butchers a baby shark in Misato's kitchen.
either NERV officers get shitty pay or Misato is terrible with money
remember that she still had 11 payments on her Renault? and that she had to take the kids to a ramen place because she wouldn't be able to affort a restaurant?
also who the fuck buys so much beer you can get drunk on less expensive beverages
>>143454087
Laugh it up now fucker but when there charging people upwards up $200 each to party at their privet beachside mansions it won't be so funny anymore.
>>143452179
>dumb fucking mobileposter
>>143454142
>Misato is terrible with money
Probably this
>>143454172
You've made such a contribution to the thread. Go upstairs and tell your mom what you accomplished here.
You'll enjoy this.

Thanks for fitting in.
>>143453455
I thought Shinji was under surveillance most of the time.
Some kid at school punching him isn't really a threat.
When Asuka ran away they let her go because she was useless at that point if I remember correctly.
>>143454402
when Asuka tried to commit sudoku in a bathtub they found her in the nick of time
I guess Gendo puts some surveillance on people who matter, post-rape Asuka was just useless
>>143452459
In Gargantia pilots get paid with breeding rights meaning that they can just impregnate any female they want.
Plus it's not like money has any value when everything is free.
>>143454546
This is one of the coolest concepts I've ever heard. Is it any good?
>>143454612
I liked the series but you'll find things change very quickly in it. Watch the first episode and you'll understand.
Suisei no Gargantia
>>143453993
>$600/$350 a month
Is that full-time? Surely that's miles below minimum wage and therefore illegal as shit.
>>143454720
I've got quite a backlog but I'll definitely slap in on there.
>>143454839
Not when the government classifies it as a part time job. 3.9 hour days during the school year. It was a good job for a kid in highschool though.

>>143454402
I think TV might be the only continuity where Misato didn't get a surveillance report about Touji and staying out of it wasn't her call.
>>143452462
yeah NERV has cash to throw around but I don't think any of it is for needless shit. Remember that half the fucking world is destroyed or under Red water so no matter how you look at it the global economy can't be good. NERV just gets by because they're one of Earth's last hopes.
>>143455172
>NERV has cash to throw around
>they had to reduce their defence budget
someone didn't watch EoE
>>143455194
Their defense budget was reduced by SEELE.
>>143456036
How to fix NGE.
SEELE didn't belong in the series and they totally ruined it.
Shinji should have been a cute anime girl.
Better animation so the females didn't look like men.
Ecchi/nudity
Yuri
Rei should have been a boy.
More Highschool drama.
Etc.
>>143456239
>make NGE a SOL
Great idea
>>143454839
Minimum wage is whatever the employer says it is, anon.
>>143456251
You would watch it.
>>143453908
>4 million
>That little
>>143452969
>USA-ian education
You can't travel a square foot. It's a measure of area, not distance.
>>143456371
Of course I would.
The only way such a SOL could be made not-shit, though, is by making it a continuation of Shinji's Instrumentality-induced fantasy during episode 26.
>>143452179
I feel like everyone at NERV is paid very little
They invest every cent they have in reparing Evas, cleaning up collateral damage and generally just trying to keep shit going.
They have barely enough money to live their lives, Misato can't even afford to bring the kids out for dinner, NERV doesn't fix her new car. I think pilots just get a house (Shinji was gonna stay at his own place hadn't Misato kidnapped him) and a symbolic salary based on how much money is left to spare.
>>143453455
Tokyo-3 is a giant military base they can go around it freely.
Even the school turned out to be just a farce.
>>143453330
>those autists that impersonate train drivers
...people do that? Where?
Fucking how?
>>143456414
I'm sorry I'm retarded. Can you explain further?
>>143456375
40k in $. Considering it's a highly dangerous mentally straining job only a few people can do and the budget NERV must have. This is outrageously little.
Anno blatantly says he hates Eva fans on multiple accessions but loves his money. Does he not realize this fanbase will literally buy anything with the Eva logo on it? Why isn't he working on creating tons of spinoff Eva series this very moment? An ecchi one and a horror one and a time travel one fucking anything goes and it's going to sell like hot cakes no matter how bad/good they are.
>>143456499
I'm not the guy who made that ridiculous claim. I can only assume that he meant that the pilot gets paid according to the area he protects.
>>143456603
Basically what they did with Railgun. Create hundreds of characters and some huge universe building and let just merchandise sell like crazy.
I heard at a convention somebody asked Anno who his Evangelion Waifu is and he flipped his shit.
>>143456679
Why are creators such fags? These are the people who as a whole made him rich and popular and he acts like they broke into his house and asked him this while he was in the middle of a shit.
>>143456778
I personally think it's amazing. I honestly hope that one day I can be at a convention where he's speaking and ask him that same question or something similar despite if he's talking about Eva or not. If that day ever comes to pass I'll definity post his reaction here.
>>143456816
I created this image specifically for that day. I'm going to have it made into a t-shirt.
>>143456375
That's more or less 35.000 euros/dollars a year.
It's less than 3000 a month, for a job that requires very specific skills, years of preparation and includes many risks.
