I don't think it's a cash grab, I think Anno is just obsessed.

I liked the orbital drop in 3.0

Reminder that Neon Genesis Evangelion is just an autistic worse version of Mobile Suit Gundam and Space Runaway Ideon. Anyone who says it is a "deconstruction" has only seen less than 10 other animes, all of which were made after 2000. Everything that Evangelion is known for was done better 15 years earlier by the master Tomino. The only reason Eva became popular is because it pandered more to pervert pedophiles (most anime fans, especially /a/.) Evangelion is the go-to anime for newfag plebs. They say it has "deep" characters but they really only like it because the 14 year olds show a lot of skin. A big difference between Gundam and Eva is that 0079 has one of the best endings in anime history and Evangelion has not one, but two of the worst.

Only reason I have any interest in 4.0 is to see if it goes back to what was set up in 2.0 rather than the dumb time-skip.

That's completely irrelevant, we're talking about why (or why not) Evangelion is shit.
Just because you might find something to attack about whatever show I like doesn't change the qualities Evangelion has, qualities which Evangelion fans for some suspicious reason can't even name.

There's a funny story in this context though, it's called "The emperor's new clothes" :^)

There is one story I particularly like in this context however. It's called "The emperor's new cloths".

A lot of interacting with humans comes from reading their lips, whether you notice it consciously or not
Good lip synch is key to relating to a character if you're not a weeb who's just reading subtitles instead of looking at their faces in the first place

>Good lip synch is key to relating to a character
It's clearly been unnecessary in anime and there's no shortage of people relating to characters. America doesn't have a moe culture and character industry like Japan does.

>if you're not a weeb who's just reading subtitles
Reading subs doesn't have anything to do with being a weeb, and just because you can't read subs doesn't mean other people can't. Some people grow up reading them.

>>68894370
Maybe you should just lighten up.
>>
>>68894368
Eva was hugely influential on the anime industry.

Only dumb, uninformed kids and idiots hate it.
>>

>>
>>68894405

Point being when you have to spend your time reading subs, you're not paying as close attention to what's happening on the screen. It's easier to ignore bad or nonexistent lip sync if you're distracted by doing something else like reading subs
>>
>>68894405

Go and film something where all of the actors just aimlessly flap their mouths open and shut, then add the actual voices in afterwards. Tell me people won't notice.

Everyone is perfectly aware of what the lip synching in anime is like.

Real life and anime are two different things, and nobody has failed to notice mouth flaps in anime.

>>68894561

>If Eva is so bad then why are we discussing it years later?
Because it's a meme show, but someone has to call the emperor out for running around naked eventually.
>>
>>68894430
>Eva was hugely influential on the anime industry.
How? Or is this just another meme like the "interesting" characters? :^)
>>
>>68894582

We're talking specifically about lip sync here. They have countless mouth shape symbols for all the different types of consonants and vowels at different levels of expression and magnitude, which are set frame by frame to sync up with the audio track.

Flash can be a lot of bad things, but one thing it's good for is efficient and effective lip sync. Plus just because they're flash puppets doesn't inherently mean animation looks cheap and shit. You can still do a lot of frame by frame shit with flash (and the horse show is a good example of that)

well I mean the 2 films but I enjoyed the 2nd half quiet a bit. I don't understand the hate for it, it slowed down to progress the characters. also when they get to space everything turns into pure kino. I've never had a piece of fiction get me so emotionally fired up and hyped like that.
