The series is a basic coming of age story. The TV ending is Shinji accepting maturity, EoE is everyone's rejection of maturation. All the philosophy shit is just there to distract the plebs.

>>71084954
It's a Chinese cartoon. By not watching it, you are guaranteed to never become autistic or socially inept. You will get laid and you'll never smell bad.
A garbage clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in waifu faggotry and NEUROSIS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The broken, angsty characters all trying their hardest to hide from their mental issues, the SYMBOLISM, peculiar, complex machinery, the whole Freudian faggotry and everything about the Evangelion world fuels their fantasies of being a patrician, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on guilt tripping, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underage retards eat this shit right the fuck up.
tl;dr; If you're impressed by YA novels(Hunger Games, Divergent, Horns, etc), garbage like Donnie Darko or just smile(the trip not movie) then you'll probably love something from it.

evangelion in a nutshell:
super secret illuminati society funds a top secret organization designed to battle alien god beings that want to reset life on earth by reuniting with their progenitor and remaking the world over in their own image
the society is actually planning to return humanity to a primordial state where everyone was one and there was no suffering between people
the project gets hijacked by a guy who wants to have control over the process himself so he can reunite with his dead wife because he's a miserable wounded human being
eventually it happens and his son, who is really depressed and wants to die by the time of the movie, rejects divine unity because it feels weird and so he realizes nothing can save him but himself. he breaks down and cries at the end because he's completely fucking broken and not even the experiene of what is supposed to be paradise snapped him out of it
>>71085506
Good until the very ending. You make it sound sad, but its actually very uplifting. Hence the congratulations scene. Shinji accepted that he would rather be himself, an individual with flaws and suffering, then be in a collective consciousness. He fully embraced who he was, which all things considered is something worth congratulating.
Asuka went through the same thing, which is why they are the last 2 in EoE. Its a happy ending in a way.
>>71085691
>the congratulations scene.
OP asked about EoE, not the tv ending.
its all very complicated and mostly unimportant the main theme of the series is the connections between people: mother son father friend lover colleague comrade. the series is mostly about relationships and what happens when you shut people out to avoid getting hurt. there is a lot of biblical imagery and references to science fiction. but the core of the story is about learning to love yourself and others.

>>71084954
I'll explain it so a hip kid like you can understand, you feel me? So this gangsta named Shinji right, he's crusin' around in his dope ass robot when suddenly his pops is like "Yo, I'm gon' take this fine ass girl I cloned from yo momma and the genetic material of a race of ancestral beings who populated the world and throw a sick ass party and literally everyone in the world is invited whether they wanna jam or not, you down with that?" And our boy Shinji and his bitch Asuka are like "No we are not down with that" and hop inside their robots to kick some ass. But aw, snap, it was a trap, now Shinji's robot is the catalyst to humanity's destruction and that shit don't fly with him. Slammin' ass naked bitch pops up and turns everyone in the world into delicious ass Florida natural orange juice, you dig? Our boy Shinji trips mad balls for the next like half hour and finds out that he wanna kick it back on Earth, this ethereal non-corporal bullshit really be crampin' his style. He's like "Yo, peace bitch" and heads back to Earth, but he's feelin' whack as hell and starts chokin' on his bitch.
>>71084954
Why didn't Shinji take advantage of the situation? Why didn't he tell his dad to give him a large sum of money to pilot the Eva, like make a deal with him

Party at Rei's house
its highly overrated anime
they went nowhere with the plot and pulled the ending out of their ass because they ran over budget
like 10 episodes in, you ask yourself, where its going, because its not going anywhere, and they are just doing monster of the week formula with no other semblance of plot or coherent story
i just recently watched through the series for the first time and wondered myself what the fuck is this overpraised piece of shit. i watched so many better animes in the past and for this to be the most praised anime? just sad and pathetic, they rally behind it, because its gimmicky. they try to act like its 2deep4u because of mature themes but nothing about is handled maturely , its just whining teenagers venting angst. other animes have done it better, and had better plots while doing so.
i would recommend .hack//sign over that
the TWEEST actually adds depth and meaning, the ending isn't something they pull out of their ass, the characters are developed better and handled better. the plot is better. and they followed through with the plot development more coherently
even FMA is better than it
>>71089171
Because he has absolutely no reason to trust his dad. He only wants to please him because he's never known his father's gratitude or warmth, he even tells himself later in the Leliel episode that he's just regurgitating and redigesting the fleeting moments that his dad actually appreciates him. The kind of thing that any normal dad should do without having to put your kid through physical danger and psychological torment.

You're factoring too much of your personal grudge with the elitist fanbase into your review of the show.
Also .hack//sign dropped the ball in the latter half and beyond the interesting premise it's very much just a thinly veiled commercial for the ps2 game.
Keep in mind, Evangelion came out in 1995 and probably inspired all the later anime that you think did it better.

To retain your ego is to accept both the love and pain that comes with connecting to others, to lose your ego and have no borders between your self and others is to reject real connections with people thus losing both the love and the pain that comes thereof.
This is a criticism against many immature subcultures, particularly the ones in Japan, who retreat from society out of fear of rejection and escape to mindless pleasure, be it mindless action mecha \ moe SoL anime, video games of the same type of escapist vein, drugs, alcohol, fast food, etc.

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.
>>71089545
Pandering has never been proven to exist in anime, and the whole idea is a misconception.
Anime doesn't have anything to do with pedophilia, and anime is by far less perverted than Western media.

no, its quite literally a point of fact it is an overrated anime
and its also a point of fact, that is well documented and commented by every person who worked on the anime, that they literally did go overbudget and had to pull the ending out of their ass.

no, its quite literally they ran out of money, they had no budget, they wasted it all on their power ranger's monster of the week formula. its well documented and every person in part of production of the anime has commented to that effect in interviews.
for an anime, to have such a shitty and terrible ending, nothing it has done or attempted to do is worth mentioning. they failed, and anyone that sits there trying to defend "congratulations" is a fucking pleb who is delusional as fuck

This is a joke right? I watch anime but I know that 90% of it is aimed at horny slightly pedophilic manchildren who want "comfy" escapism.
Yes, the vast majority of all media forms are crap, but anime's particular flaw is that most of it is aimed at manchildren, while other media forms just aim for the lowest common denominator. Both just want the leech the most money out of their particular demographic, with a handful of actual works of art once every few years.

Like I just said, he's obsessed with Evangelion and Anno. He's read interviews and production materials too.
It's also a very common notion that when an anime has problems it's because they ran out of money, but that's not how anime production works. They run out of time.
>>71089769
Anime has nothing to do with pedophilia, and the amount and importance of fanservice in anime is grossly exaggerated (why did Valkyrie Drive sell less than 3000 copies while fanserviceless shows like Girls und Panzer are top sellers?).
"Manchildren" is a meme and "comfy" is just a (very recent) 4chan thing.

world leaders want to start the end of the world i guess just to know there is something more than what we see and hear. they want to live forever in a world without boundaries where memories and sentience bleed together without and you or me but a singular us sort of vibe. that and humanities continued existence on earth is questionable with aliens trying to wipe humans out
so they use the angels a alien species that has waged war on humanity and cloned it top make mechs. they are organic but they are turned into cyborgs so humans can ride in them
they are waiting for the right time for the pilot of unit 1 to be synced enough with his eva (mech) to start the end of the world because that was the whole damn point
when the mass produced unmanned units crucify unit 1 it starts and all consciousness bleeds into 1. everything that is seen as happening after that doesnt happen in reality its the shared consciousness
its how aska knows about shinji jacking his shit to her. there are no secrets when every one is 1 entity. the thing is shinji still has more control being the one that was in unit 1 when it started which is how he ended it... but not before his mind drifted and the collective tried to shame and bribe him into staying

I agree with you that anime as a concept by itself has nothing to do with pedophilia, unfortunately media will forever be influenced by its consumers.
And what's the misconception, exactly? You think series like Dagashi Kashi, Oreimo, Kiznaiver, or whatever crap they're airing this season is made out of passion and artistry? No, it's made to sell, often not even itself but the manga it adapts, figurines, or even a fucking product it advertises.

There's no pedophilia on /a/ either. Are you confusing /a/ with /tv/ perhaps? And in any case /a/ is merely a single community in the English-speaking world. Anime is made by the Japanese for the Japanese and /a/ has nothing to do with it.
>And what's the misconception, exactly?
The misconception that in Japan creators and fans are two completely separate groups of people with no common interests.
>You think series like Dagashi Kashi, Oreimo, Kiznaiver, or whatever crap they're airing this season is made out of passion and artistry?
"I don't like it, therefore the artist didn't like it either." Great logic, 10/10.
>No, it's made to sell, often not even itself but the manga it adapts, figurines, or even a fucking product it advertises.
Did you know that making anime involves the labor of hundreds of people who need to be paid? There isn't even anything wrong with selling things.
Westerners have this irrational fear of capitalism and think everything has to be made by one starving artist and released for free.

yeah the matrix thing involves merging your mind with the plebs, so it is kind of like Japan coming to terms with its abandonment of god emperors and the US imposing democracy on it with the help of nukebombs, also a theme in other animes
>>71090165
Yeah yeah loli isn't pedophilia they're 1000 years old etc etc, I don't even care about pedophilia specifically, but you're a liar if you tell me the community isn't obsessed with fanservice, it's basically pornography whether it's pandering sexually or to other desires.
Secondly, /a/ is definitely not entirely American, there are Japanese people there, not to mention 2ch has pretty much the same culture, as do otakus in real life, as did Gaia, MAL, hell /a/ is one of the more subdued and "refined" communities out of them which should put things in perspective.
And saying anime is made strictly for the Japanese is a ridiculous generalization and, as with your whole counter-argument, completely irrelevant to the issue I presented.
>The misconception that in Japan creators and fans are two completely separate groups of people with no common interests.
Yeah, exactly, creators want to make money so they pander to the fans' interests. You really blew my argument wide open.
>"I don't like it, therefore the artist didn't like it either." Great logic, 10/10.
So now we're playing delusion and sophistry? Yeah, Dagashi Kashi is a real passionate work of art, with its candy advertisements and sexual fanservice.
It's not art. Art has themes. Art has expression. Art is not an advertisement, though arguably an advertisement might be art.
>Did you know that making anime involves the labor of hundreds of people who need to be paid? There isn't even anything wrong with selling things.
Of course there isn't anything wrong with selling things.
Fast food sells very well, drugs are a booming industry, and pornography has the largest demographic in the world, coincidentally they all have zero integrity, so don't try and defend a medium of art that disgraces itself in order to make money.
And stop fucking putting words in my mouth. Artists should be paid, people who market pornography should not be more successful than passionate artists, but this is not a fair world.
It's an /a/ re jec t who f el l for the eva is deep maymay episode.

It's not pornography or pandering.
>And saying anime is made strictly for the Japanese is a ridiculous generalization
It is a generalization but not a ridiculous one since nearly all anime is made for the domestic market.
>completely irrelevant to the issue I presented
You're trying to make it seem like anime revolves around /a/.
>Yeah, exactly, creators want to make money so they pander to the fans' interests.
No, that's not how it works. Creators and fans are the same people in Japan, e.g. someone starts off drawing fan art and doujinshi and then eventually becomes a published manga author or illustrator.

He remained a member even after his professional debut. He appeared in talk events at Comiket Special 5, Comiket Special 6, and last August's 88th Comiket, and also wrote for Comiket's 40th anniversary book.

Yeah this is exactly what I meant by an irrational fear of capitalism. You're comparing anime and manga etc. to drugs. You're being hysterical.
There is no reason whatsoever why there's anything wrong with selling manga, anime, light novels, games and figures. It's also necessary to sell them because--surprise surprise--they cost money to make.

>>71090736
>>71090766
No kidding, illustrators are hired for showing talent in their works? Damn, really makes you think. That totally means that there's no one running a business, limiting the artist's vision in order to keep selling.
You don't even have an argument against mine. You keep saying I don't want anime and manga to sell, even though I've not once said that. I don't want anime and manga to be MADE to sell instead of expressing a vision, which you fervently deny ever happens on the basis of removing all human cognition, so far as to think even worthless fan pandering mass produced shit like Dagashi Kashi might have been made with any intention but to sell copies at all.
Keep acting blind all you want. Hell, you might even say next that Luluco is as much a work of art as Mushishi. Fuck it, do whatever you want, obviously I won't be able to take you out of your deluded mindset.

But Snyder is terrible for driving a narrative. There's a lot of dull shit in BvS that adds nothing to the plot and messes up with the structure of the movie. Snyder has the mind of an edgy 14 year old and knows nothing about building up a plot.
>>71091063
The religious references were chosen because Japan isn't as familiar with christianity and it gave the show an exotic look.
The only people who seriously read the bible and try to make actual deep meanings using references to religious symbols are christfags, and most of that shit is straight-to-dvd for a reason.
>>71091371
Like what?
>>71091130
>That totally means that there's no one running a business, limiting the artist's vision in order to keep selling.
The point I am trying to make, and which you apparently are incapable of understanding, is that creators in Japan LIKE fanservice and moe etc. just like, say, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke liked science fiction. There is no difference.
Fans and creators in Japan aren't separate groups of people with completely different interests.
>I don't want anime and manga to be MADE to sell instead of expressing a vision
How do you know what the intentions of the author and publisher were? You don't, you just assume that anything you personally don't like was made by a cackling, moustache-twirling capitalist villain in order to exploit people. Because you're a narcissist.
>worthless fan pandering mass produced shit like Dagashi Kashi
Again, it's not insincere just because YOU don't like it. And no shit it's mass produced, how do you think manga is distributed?
>Hell, you might even say next that Luluco is as much a work of art as Mushishi.
I have no reason to believe that Imaishi wasn't being sincere.

Would Evangelion really be a better anime if the imagery was symbolism for a simple bible-thumping/bible-burning message?
>>71091063
>The relisgious symbolism and references went nowhere
They were meant to go somewhere? It's just mishmash of mythic and scientific elements to drive home the otherworldly nature of the Angel along with the state of the world in Eva (the flooding, Second Impact being likened to the fall of man, the Judgment). Only retards have a problem with this and typically can only recognize this purposely over the top imagery as symbolism. It's the same people up in arms with where the Angels come from, the nature of the finale, and other irrelevant details that have nothing to do with Eva at its core. They are truly the pretentious ones preoccupied with the artifice, which goes hand in hand with its meta commentary on anime viewers. I find it hard to believe Anno was so unaware of how much he actually captured the average viewer in his web.

>>71094483
Nah he just said all the religious shit is just there to look cool
all the character interactions and motivations are still trying to make a point
>>71094483
Think it was the art director (who is a creator) and he's talking about all the Christianity symbols. To say something has no meaning would just be a lie if Hideaki Anno said it.
NGE is about anime nerds and escapism. Running away from reality because they may be hurt or thinking that other people hate them and will never accept them. Main character rejects the escapism (called instrumentality where everyone joins together into one being and everyone is happy in their own worlds) at the end (it quite literally shows Shinji living out a school anime fantasy, late to class, seeing a girl's panties when he runs into her) because it is fake happiness. That's all it is.
Anno spent his life on anime bullshit instead of living a normal social life and this was a product of that. Rei represented the anime doll girls that lacked personality and Asuka was the "real" girl who was a stuck up cunt. Shinji wakes up next to Asuka in the finale after rejecting fantasy, and she says "disgusting" toward Shinji as the final word of the series. That's after Shinji starts choking her to prove they are separate entities who can hurt each other and that he escaped fantasy.
>>71095046
Maybe someone should have just told Anno that being an otaku and socializing aren't mutually exclusive. He must have even socialized himself seeing as how he made anime with other people for fifteen years or so.

This doesn't affect the actions of any other character and doesn't manifest in any specific action in any understandable way until EoE. Most of the events are driven by characters and MotW showing up in any given episode.
>>71094870
I've been wondering this, too. Except you could say that (in this version of Instrumentality) Yui kinda floats around in space at the end, without Gendo being able to reconnect with her madmum-ass. Seems like he lost, the moment Rei III tore his hand of with her womb-dentata.
Generally I don't know which plan worked in the end. Seeles?? I thought they wanted to become gods (but only them and nobody else, kinda lika Yui in the end)? But they aren't they are all tang-bros!
>>71091776
This. I swear he did his homework to attract as many people on the autism spectrum as possible just so they could get BTFO when they nitpick.
>>71095787

>>71095952

>>71095673
>This doesn't affect the actions of any other character
Most of the characters are in the dark about Seele's intentions, and moreso Gendo's.
Kozo knows what's up more or less and is fully on Gendo's side. He just wants to see Yui again
Ryoji spends his whole time trying to work out what Seele is up to, and once he does he's killed for it.
Ritsuko knows all about Seele's plans but is Gendo's pawn to begin with. Seele choose her to foil Gendo's plans knowing that she'll turn against him in favour of Seele when she's made to realise she's expendable in Gendo's selfish ambitions for instrumentality.
I don't think Mistato really cares about instrumentality even though Ryoji and Ritsuko make it clear to here what has been going on.
All she seems to care about is destroying the angels and all her other knowledge about the situation is used only to encourage Shinji to choose to do things on his own terms, instead of being a tool for Seele or his dad, and getting destroyed like Rei and Asuka.

> that being an otaku and socializing aren't mutually exclusive
This is true and you can interpret that Anno is saying that depending on how you want to see it. Most otaku do not socialize the way that he felt he "missed out" on. Which as I see it is dating girls and such when you are young and before you become an old asshole like Anno himself. Evangelion is saying that the you in your fantasy can be the you in real life and to stop hating yourself. I think it's quite an uplifting message as long as you don't take it as an attack on your hobbies. Shinji perceived everyone hated him and characters respond "that's just you thinking that everyone hates you".
I'd say Anno did have animosity since he stuck the death threats he received in End of Evangelion. But it's a case of the worst anime fans end up representing all anime fans.

>>71097398
>filling your room with Eva merch is not a barrier to socializing, and dating girls
I think after the death threats from people who take that shit too seriously afeter for NGE and then more for EoE, Anno just thought:
>Fuck it, these ones are beyond redemption. I'll milk them for money out of spite
>>71097639
Merchandise is pretty popular in Japan. It's not exclusive to otakus. And again, having merchandise doesn't really mean you fit the character of Shinji. Neither is watching anime. It's more about the attitude of reaching out and identifying with other people.
>>71084954
Anime could've been better if they stuck to the basic storyline about humans vs angels.
I was okay with evas being their mothers. I was okay with the original angel being the cause of the impact. I was okay with a lot of shit, but I wasn't okay with Kenji's mind trip nonsense.
>>71084954
If even I a basement dweller who is roughly similar to the original audience gets it, why can't you. Sure Anno's intended message/'fuck you viewers, go outside' backfired, he instead delivered a wonder piece of entertainment with wonderful visuals. His message is not at all new, just nicely presented.
He is also a faggot for he only encouraged the very behaviour he wanted to demean. There's utterly nothing wrong with some people living their lives like that.

What are you on about? Gendo is super triggered about the death of his wife. And he doesn't want to kill people. Instrumentality is not the death of all people. Its like mixing everybody's consciousness into one (which is what the giant ball of liquid is). It basically means most dead people are alive and no living people can die. And despite it being Gendo's final goal, he is rejected from being involved by Lilith (Rei) herself.
>>71099134
>Yui's plan
Ultimately that's more 'Lilith's plan'.
I guess after a certain point they are the same though, right?
Like actual Yui is dead, and the only thing really carrying out any real plan is Rei who is basically the soul of Lilith
DMT
>>71104347
Yeah, I don't think Yui really interacts that much with Shinji inside Unit-01.
It's mostly Rei that's talking to him and Rei was Lilith's soul in Yui's clone body.
Though I suppose since Unit-01 is Yui's soul in part of Lilith's body there might be some mutual joining of the two that best helps Shinji

NGE deals with people being unable to accept themselves and inability to make relationships beyond a superficial level. Kawrou tells Shinji that humans also have AT Fields that hold our egos and make us individuals. Every character in NGE is trapped by the hedgehogs dilemma which makes them unable to actually connect with people as that would expose them to getting hurt. The solution to the hedgehogs dilemma is through instrumentality which would break everyone's AT Field and destroy the individual, everyone would know each others deepest secrets and everyone would be exposed with all their flaws. Shinji at first accepts instrumentality as he has been emotionally destroyed throughout the series and hates the world. Once in instrumentality Shinji realizes that it is just another way to escape reality, and Shinji wants to live in reality because he finally accepts himself and wants to see his loved ones again even though he may get hurt again it's worth it. Shinji breaks from instrumentality and sometime later Asuka also breaks from instrumentality. Shinji chokes Asuka probably due to the built up rage he has inside of himself but eventually begins to cry. This shows that Shinji is still a flawed person and will make mistakes in reality as he is a mortal man with an ego. Shinji and Asuka have finally learned to accept each other with all of their flaws. Asuka says "kimochi warui" which could mean she is disgusts by the whole instrumentality ordeal or she feels sick by the whole ordeal she went through.

I'm on 4chan and I'm going to say anime is for children ha ha.
Evangelion is an existential work. As such, it chronicles the descent into and recovery from despair and isolation. The last two episodes are an analysis of the logic and circumstances which have caused each of Eva's characters to become the fractured, alienated beings they are and what social mechanisms keep them trapped that way. The mechanism can be summarized as "everybody is broken and searching for somebody, and thus can't find anybody." Nobody is capable of offering any love or acceptance because they don't even love themselves. The personal flaws at the heart of this are explicated for each character between the last two episodes.
Shinji does not believe himself to be worthy of love largely because of his abandonment by his father. Because he hates himself, he believes everyone else does too and assumes that they will reject him if he gets close to them, so he isolates himself. He tries to escape using various methods but ultimately is forced to face a painful reality anyway.
Asuka has the same deficiencies as Shinji but hides them behind a veil of pride and egoism, largely because she feels that being like Shinji would make her pathetic (everyone in the show does, which is why they all put up fronts. And I've often heard it said that Shinji can rightly be called the show's hero because he is the only character who wears their heart on their sleeve.)
Misato is also self-loathing but tries to escape using romance and pleasure.("But if you would seek only love's pleasure and love's peace, it is better that you should pass out of love's threshing floor into the seasonless world, where you will laugh but not all of your laughter and cry, but not all of your tears.") Because of this, she feels that she is a slut, and is trapped in a destructive cycle of temporary escape and guilt.

>>71108530
(2/2)
Rei presents the Evangelion Philosophy of Existence: that "you" are nothing but the product of your interactions with others, and that the qualities others ascribe to you, ultimately define you. She faces an identity crisis because of the knowledge that she is a clone, and thus "replaceable".
Literally every other character except Kaworu faces these deficiencies and hides or escapes from them in some way. In Eva, the AT Field is literally and metaphorically the walls that people erect around their hearts. During Instrumentality/The Third Impact, the AT Fields of everyone on the planet are dissolved and every person is laid bare before one another. This is episode 25 and 26. Here Evangelion gives the way out of despair. Shinji is presented with several possible worlds (absolute freedom, perfect happiness) and told that any one of them is possible. He learns that reality is what he perceives it to be and that he is always free to choose to be happy, no matter what is going on around him. He learns that if he accepts his pain instead of running from it, he will have conquered it. Through honest interactions with the other characters, he also realizes that nobody hates him, and they all want him to be happy too. And with that, the show's central (and really only conflict) is resolved and Shinji can move forward in life with peace.

All of the characters are bland and non interesting, the enemy "angels" are boring because its not explained why they are attacking, there's not motivation for it so your not invested in it and the episodes consist of training to fight the angels, like there's nothing interesting or convicting about any of the characters. Code Geass is a million times better, all of the characters are more fleshed out and you're hooked by the first episode, this is fucking boring. Even if it's supposed to get "better" it's no good to have a series start out so horribly dull.

Even if there was a point on the Lois scenes the dialog was so empty and obvious that made them feel completely innecesary and tedious.
I shouldn't need to watch a longer cut of a movie that was already quite long and didn't succeed to tell properly a story.
I know a lot of the allegories that are used on the film but they are so many and they relate to the story so little that they just compromise the structure.

Shinji learns to not hate himself and accepts living in a society because even when people are usually bad sometimes they are not and it's worthy when that happens.
