>Shinji has talked about how his lifestyle is monotonous and lonely until he met Kaworu. I think Kaworu feels empathy since he understands how a lifestyle that way is.
This is also made clear in another scene.
Before Kaworu asks to go the baths with Shinji, Shinji says he doesn't want to go home, and Kaworu replies the fact that he has a home to return to is a very good thing. I think this implies, maybe not jealousy, but a longing on Kaworu's part. He doesn't know what it's like to have a home.
I think in some ways Kaworu sees Shinji as his ideal, Shinji has a home, people who love him (although he doesn't realize it), and a future. And the parts of Shinji that Shinji regards as flaws, Kaworu thinks make him all the more beautiful.
Likewise, Shinji sees Kaworu as his ideal for many reasons.
They see themselves as inferior and the other as perfect.

>They see themselves as inferior and the other as perfect.
You're right, I agree with you. They both have notorious flaws, but they decided to accept each other until the end (that's why Shinji hesitated on killing him, and Kaworu gave him a new chance to live). Even if Kaworu could be jealous because Shinji had what he didn't, I feel he wanted to belong to Shinji's world in an extreme way to forget everything about his angelical origins (like he does in NGE2), and it's all because Shinji was probably the first person to showing him a pure and unpretentious kindness.

That was a really, really good meta. Thanks a lot for taking up the time to write it, anon, it made me realize some things. And I can see now how that ending where Kaworu ended up alone in front of the red sea makes sense with Shinji's line in EoE "If no one wants me then they can all just die", for example. I hate to admit it, but that ending left me kinda confused. It was to be expected for my jp level, though.
And welp, I guess it's time to dig for those NGE2 translations, because I'm missing a lot. (Also Kaworu dying by a gunshot? It sounds so simple, even for him to be already heavily injured, I mean, what about his AT Field? Wasn't it necessary for him in order to die to use an Eva/DSS Choker/stuff like that? That left me perplexed, as I've seen people tend to say that to justify his death by Shinji's hands.)
>>3018638
>Let's post only Anime!Kawoshin fanarts, people.
Yes, good. Time to see what nips have posted in twitter.
Also tomorrow is White Day, so maybe people who drew Valentines stuff will draw something for White Day as well. Or that's what I hope.
>>3018959
I miss this artist a lot. She really mimicked the old art style from NGE pretty well, too bad it's been some years since her last post in her art account and, of course, no new art.
(mfw I saw pic related for the first time without context and thought I had missed extras or something)
>>3019211
i wasnt aware the artist of this image did anything else of note
>>3019230
Her gallery is actually full of Eva, if that's what you're asking.
Another one of my faves in pic related.
>>3019231
This one, too.
>>3019232
I wish there were more artists like this. Most of recent fanart is, understandably, based on Rebuild.
>>3019211
>thought I had missed extras or something
And who could blame you.
>>3019248
>GoS2
Years later I'm still disappointed they make you choose one of the girls in the end and you can't have Kaworu. Thanks God SIRP improves on that and has an actual Kaworu ending (plus the minigame).
I wonder why Khara hasn't tried to make more games like these ones. Are they waiting after finishing Rebuild?
>>3019325
>Kaworu's plush ass
Oh wow.
>>3019359
She's definitely worked on some official merch, I remember calender illustrations back in I wanna say 2012? Pic related.
Don't really think she worked on the manga though, her stuff is close but still obviously different. Just very good at copying the style, which is what probably got her the illustration job.
Btw, anon who talked about seeing multiple copies of her Fly me to the Moon book in store last post here. When I went back a week later they were all gone, sorry. Still figuring this doujin hunting thing out.
>>3019325
Because Bandai will be Bandai.
>Khara
They don't make the games and never did. The games are made through third-party companies which is why they're so wacky. Khara (Gainax, back then) had little influence and involvement in them.
>>3019389
I think she also drew this set with the pilots, but I only have Kaworu on hand.
>>3019397
Oh, I see. I was misinformed then.
>>3019234
Wait, I didn't read this before. Did ReithIV draw Rebuild fan art too? I only have her fan arts in old Eva style.
>>3019389
>>3019398
These pics also gave me the 'Cassino' vibe, but I thought it was only me...
>>3019325
>>3019337
High res.
>>3019406
And now that we're mentioning 2013's calendar, the other Kaworu and Shinji pics from there.
>>3019409
>>3019406
Without a doubt Cassino.
Makes me wonder how Khara managed to find out about her, unless they've been secretly buying her Kawoshin doujinshi.
>>3019436
She was (is? dunno haven't been checking in years) a huge deal in the fandom back then, everyone knows about her works. I'm sure companies have Pixiv accounts to hustle for new talent, and her profile would've been the first to turn up.
>>3019461
I do remember she did some very beautiful Rei artwork a couple years back, so maybe that appealed to other parts of the Eva fanbase too.
>>3019638
>>3019698
>master1200
If anon who loves Kaworu abuse is here, there are a couple of MobxKaworu djs that are kind of fucked up at the top of Kaworu's pixiv tag.
>>3019785

>>3019480

>Kaworu x Kaji
Good shit.
Just received this as a gift the other day.
I don't collect statues and the like, but my friend clearly knew I'd make an exception for Kaworu.
He's eerily dickless and looks like he's been through a vice, but it's a nice statue.
The molding on ass makes it look like it feels like he's wearing nothin' at all.
>>3020456
>That handkerchief in his neck
Uke confirmed.
>>3019410
Just found this towel that screams Cassino as well.
>>3020440
Isn't that a knockoff version of the original better looking figure?
>>3020490
You're probably thinking of the Freeing figure, but that has a different pose.
This prize figure has been milked by Sega over multiple releases with some recolors but there's no other ones like it.
I'm hunting for a picture I saw here a long time ago. It had Shinji holding up Kaworu's legs and saying something like 「ウケの気持ち思い知れ」. I've never seen it translated into English but if it exists it would say something like "Now you know how it feels to be the bottom." Anyone have it? Tried googling for it but no luck.
>>3020522
How long ago are you talking? Past the archive?
>>3020587
Yeah it was like 2 years ago
>>3020627
Probably long gone then.
>>3019789
why did you have to ruin it for me
>>3020741
sweet jesus
Rewatching Eva now, and Shinji having a six pack in some scenes is the funniest shit.
>>3020762
Are you ready to sin this Holy Week, anon?
>>3020789
Because Shinji is a powerbottom... Or a top with a strange abdomen.
>>3020522
Sorry anon, I don't know japanese so I can't read if the text puts what you said, but from the description you gave I remembered I had this saved, so maybe is this one? (I looked for the original, but it's from Pixiv and is now gone)
>>3020953
From my rudimentary japanese, I think this is probably it. Good find, anon!
>>3020953
Thanks so much anon I knew someone would pull through.
>>3019359
>>3019389
>>3019406

This also looks pretty Cassino.
>>3020968
>>3021042
I'm glad we could find it then. You're welcome!
>>3021079
And this pillow. iirc it's almost all from 2013. I think I haven't found more recent merch with her style.
>>3021083
This one too.
>>3018681
Where the fuck did all those posts go now I'm curious
>>3021099
The thread died quickly actually, just right after this one began, in the same day iirc. It surprised me, when did cm become so active?
Anyway, here you have https://boards.fireden.net/cm/thread/3014909/

Isn't that one Honda? Along with this.

>>3021193
First one is http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=37714228. You find it easily with saucenao, anon. That kind of filename can only come from Pixiv.
Second one I remember seeing it in Twitter, but I follow way too many artists from different fandoms to remember. If I see it again and no one has said it yet...
>>3021362
Thanks a lot, anon. New djs are the best read after a long day of work.
>>3021362

>>3021419
Is this an actual card from the game, or is it fanart? Jesus Christ.
>>3021423
Guro? That was weak.
>>3021428
Never played the game but I saw it posted with other mobage cards, so I asume is not fanart.
There was also a card with him and Rei and Asuka, a waste of potential when we could have had Shinji there imho.
>>3021423
Because it's not new. Sabbath have a few months out there, anon.
>kaworu kills 3 billion people during second impact
>shinji kills 3 billion people during third impact
They're perfect for each other.
>>3021738
Draftworu does so many things to my dick
>>3021817
Isn't this from Gyomania? She disappeared suddenly, deleting page, twitter, pixiv and everything. I'm gonna miss her doujinshis.
>>3021852
Japanese artists do that from time to time, it's nothing unusual.
She'll probably be back under a different name.
>>3021884
but for what purpose?
>>3021884
>pic
"____はいいね" is hilarious to me, there are so many possibilities and it makes Kaworu sound endearing and naive. I like fanart that shows him with something mundane while he's calling it good.
>>3021884
Is this trying to say ふろはいいね? Shouldn't it be written as wa instead of ha?
>>3021885
I don't know, Nips are just weird like that.
>>3021936
It can be romanized either way, but wa/fu is definitely more common than ha/hu.
>>3021893
Didn't Anno say the 歌はいいね line made him think Kaworu is psychotic?
Autism/borderline crazy moe.
>>3021939
I remember hearing that Anno said something like that, but I never saw a source. It is autism moe for me, though.
>>3021944
>Regarding Kaworu (Extracted from "judging Hideaki Anno in his absence" interview from Paranoia, Schizophrenia)
>Interviewer (I), Masayuki (M), Sadamoto (S), Tsuramaki (T), Sato(Z)
>I: But someone who opens with “music is a good thing” is kind of odd (laughs)
>T: Yeah what’s with that?
>M: Ah that line, afterwards watching it with Anno, we both thought “that guy is probably just a psycho”, and he said how if there really was someone like that “I would definitely not fall for him” (laughs)
>S: Actually its not bad, but when I first heard it I couldn’t help but laugh because it was so different from what I imagined he would say.
>I: But it caused female audiences in front of their televisions to shriek with joy.
>M: We never thought it will turn out like that.
T: Was it not planned?
>M: We really only realized it afterwards and never thought of much at that time, after all we were going berserk.
It's amusing how Sadamoto is always the gayest one in these Kaworu interviews.
>>3021949
Anno sure contradicts himself a lot when it comes to Kaworu. In a different interview, he talks about how he wanted Kaworu to be presented at someone who could be loved by anyone. This reminds me of his waffling accounts of who had the most influence with regards to the homoeroticism in the episode. I think he's just shy.
>>3021953
*presented as someone
The more i piece together impressions from different interviews I think:
Anno made it homo but is shy about it, trys to dodge talking about it sometimes.
Rest of the main staff was either oblivious or ignored it, some tried to tone it down?
Sadamoto embraced the gay.
is this accurate?
>>3021953
Anno contradicts himself when it comes to everything. Other Eva characters, the show's themes, and so on, his viewpoints have clearly changed over the years.
I think Anno's intentions in making Kaworu lovable and ideal are valid, but because he had no prior experience in writing a character like that it didn't go as swimmingly as he wanted.
Though when you look at the Japanese fanbase's impressions of the character, it's obvious Anno was at least somewhat successful.
>>3021967
From the same interview:
>M: No, no. I didn’t think much at all and just drew it according to Anno’s script.
>B: Is Anno-san into that stuff? He even accepted the interview with JUNE.
>M: That interview in which he pushes all responsibility to Satsukawa is interesting. But when we came up with the original idea, did it start out as such?
So I don't think Anno is shy about it, or else he wouldn't have gone to JUNE to talk about it in the first place. But he even admitted to having bisexual parts of himself.
Of course, seeing as this is Japan and there's a complex about gay stuff, it's expected everyone else is dodgy about it and tries to push the blame on another.
If I had to explain it, I'd say Anno likes the shoujo kind of homo and Sadamoto likes the shounen kind of homo, so they both are technically "embracing" different things.

Excellent taste.
I finally played GoS 2nd only for the Kawoshin scenes. I don't know what I was expecting when I got mad for the Asuka-Rei ending.
>>3022376
Bandai's spinoff Eva games tend to range from mediocre to horrid.
>>3022390
I'm going to play Meitantei Evangelion and Secret of Evangelion to unblock Shinji and Kaworu scenes; wish me luck.
Just saw that SABBATH doujin. 12 kinds of disturbing but still really cute.
Honestly, anything involving Shinji getting attention from a group of Kaworu's is great.

>>3022470
It brings the question though anon; would you let a pack of kaworu's eat you alive if it meant being able to be reborn for an eternity of sexy times with them?
I cringed hella hard when he bit of Shinji's ween though.
>>3022502
How could anyone say anything but yes?
>>3022507
It was linked here >>3021423
>>3022523
>I don't moonrune, but right before he does it, Kaworu gives Shinji a "wtf man" look.
I didn't even pay attention to that panel, but now that I'm looking at it, it's cracking me up.
>>3022523
Novice moonrunes here, but I believe Shinji is saying that he wants to give all of himself to Kaworu, and says "it's fine" as he holds his hands out. Kaworu asks to be forgiven for being unable to resist temptation.
It's pretty hilarious to take Kaworu's expression as "wtf is your deal" though.
>>3022502
How can you say you love him if you won't even let him eat you alive?
>>3022537
Kaworu tells Shinji they he has to eat him so his body can be reborn immortal, Shinji says that's what he wants, and then Kaworu proceeds to eat him and then squeeze him out of his body like a lump of shit, to which they proceed to have sex for eternity.
Fucked up stuff.
>>3022550
Noketter could do better.
>>3022523
>>3022550
So basically it's just Kaworu realizing he stuck his dick in crazy.
Then again he was a real asshole, with the whole ripping his penis off first while he was awake and alert thing.
On a serious note, art where Kaworu does inhuman/angel shit to Shinji is a favorite of mine so I loved it.
>>3022552
Dunno Chewing his nads off is pretty hilarious
>>3022606
But Shinji clearly got aroused by Kaworu biting off his dick

>The only possibility of seeing your angelical waifu as a cute child is on a shitty Asushin spin-off

>>3022390
I guess the only not mediocre was NGE2. I can't remember if SIRP was produced by Bandai as well, but its quality is hideous. Even I can remember fanartists of these years that could draw much better art than that.
>>3022523
I want to translate and clean Sabbath so bad, but I only can translate Jap-Esp well because my English is pretty lame. Anyone wants to be proof-reader?
>>3022705
I could re-translate yours from Spanish to English, if that's the issue you are having.
>>3022706
Oh, no, the last thing I'd want is a re-translation. I don't like re-translations, I only need a proof-reader who can help me fixing broken sentences and interpretate actions and feelings.
>>3022704
Yeah, Eva spinoffs and shitty art seem to go hand in hand for some reason.
Not sure if Bandai or not, but I liked Battle Orchestra and Secret of Evangelion. Oh, and the one for the N64 was decent too.
>>3022703
Eva store gave us a Shotaworu last year though.
>>3022680

>>3022708
I'm going to play Secret of Eva and Battle Orchestra, but I'm so bad at fighting games.
>>3022709
I know, but I still want to see a shota Animeworu.
>>3022859
Embryoworu a cute.
>>3022866
Kaji needs more art
>>3022707
Maybe I can give you a hand?
And I say maybe because my mother tongue is also spanish, but as people usually say, 'cuatro ojos ven más que dos' ('two heads are better than one' in english, iirc?). So if you're fine with it...
>>3022892
