Why has Evangelion become so popular among normalfags within the past 2-3 years?
It wasn't always this way.
It was. It always has been. Just because you've only been watching anime for a couple of years doesn't make you a fucking expert on fucking fandoms mate.
>giving a fuck about what other people doI'm a faggot myself by replying
>>121932127
Are you high? Yes it was. Eva is and always was one of the most normalfag anime there is.
>>121932127
>in the past 2-3 years
The fuck are you talking about, It has been babbys first deep anime for the past 20 years
>>121932127
>talking like /a/ on social media
What.
Come on man, yes it was.
Any further popularity is from Tengen Toppa Gurren Evangelion 2.0
>>121932272
no youre a faggot for posting drive trash kill yourself faggot
>>121932127
Yes it was. It's the Japanese equivalent of Star Wars.
>>121932127
it's a 15 year old anime. why is it so bad that it becomes popular anyway? don't you want people to see good stuff?
inb4 hurr evangelion is shit guise
>>121932127
Two things:
Why should you care what other people like? Do you like it less because 'muh popularity' and stupid shit like that?
And yes, it has always been super popular among normalfags.
I am an Evafag and I am a normalfag too.
AMA. Yes, I have a gf.

Evangelion is as big as it is because of normalfags. The anime community is not large enough to make anything hugely successful.
>>121932703
>implying Eva deserves to have any fans at all, let alone fans with good taste
Fucking normies ruin everything
>>121932703
Yes I'm okay with it. The fanbase shouldn't fucking matter to you, the actual show should. You shouldn't give a damn if there are people who are 'normal' who like the anime. You're just being a cunt if it honestly alters your liking of the anime.
If you just realized that Eva is popular among normalfags, you should kill yourself. Just wait until Michael Bay fucks it up even more.
>>121932703
I don't give a shit about fanbases. Go back to tumblr if you do.
>>121932683
Is this some kind of in joke because I've seen this before a few times. Or are you John Titor?
>>121932703
>giving a shit about fanbases
Fuck off you piece of shit.
Fanbases are all cancer, especially outside of /a/ and especially for anime. Stop giving a shit.
>>121932951
Funnily enough, you keep seeing people here who dislike a show based on the fanbase. And quite a lot of them.
But yeah, Eva has always been normalfaggotry. /a/nons just keep saying "2deep4u" and "lurk moar" shit to make the anime seem like it's intellectual and only to be understood by PhD guys, but it was never, it is not, and will never be so.
The simple fact that it is the anime that saved the anime is pretty saying about the number of people it reached. If it had been obscure, nips wouldn't have given a shit.
That is, the whole "intellectual anime" is nothing but a shitty invention of /a/ to make themselves feel like they are watching clever stuff and create a gap with "pleb" shows (or shows they just don't like, if you prefer).
You know, the Bourgeois Gentilhomme type of old nostalgiafags, thinking they are more clever by trying to create dissensions within the community.
Why should we give a shit about the fanbase?
The people that work on Eva already do allot of weird crap to it.
>>121932127
>past 2-3 years
It was on Toonami for fuck's sake. It was always popular with normalfags.
>>121932127
She's right you know.
>most Eva threads consist of actual dialogue about the show; oldfags and newfags discussing their ideas and thoughts on the anime
>post shows someone outside of the speci/a/l club praising Eva
>suddenly everyone engages in hipster mode and starts shitposting and hating on Eva
Never ever change, /a/
>>121933633

>>121933203
>Go back to tumblr if you do.
Not him, but this comment is incredibly ironic. We do that all the fucking time, man. When someone complains about something on /a/ 50% of the time it's fanbases.
>>121933773
This became even more amusing when wouldn't you know it the very first thread I see when I went back to the catalog is >>121933168
Here's a the question
What would you do if Kaworu was a shota?This is from a real eva fanbook

You fucker. You're in every eva thread spamming your homoerotafag pictures of Shinji and Kaworu.Never change.
>>121932127
It's always been really really popular
popular things tend to get watched by normalfag
It's not hard to figure out
>>121934370
Ok,but answer me this,what would you do with shota Kaworu kun?
Well at least it isn't Rebuild
>>121934601
>sele
>>121932127
>within the past 2-3 years
It's always been popular, but the rebuilds have also helped it (especially 3.0 with Kaworu)
>>121933369
I always find it ironic when people say Eva is 2deep5u.
It is. The anime is still being discussed, analyzed, and debated to this very day. Almost 20 years later. Name another anime like that. You probably can't.
/a/ has multiple, probably a dozen, threads a day on this anime alone. It generates discussion. Each thread ends up being different (except for the inevitable waifu war and shitposting battles), with people asking questions, making up theories, or just trying to recover from the emotional impact Eva has had on so many people.
Again, no other anime is like this. It's not just our secret club too.
It is deep. Obnoxiously so at many pointsbut I love that shit so it's a plus in my book.
>>121934685
It's a screen cap from one of the oddest Eva games,but it's still tame compared to anima.
Even though it has naked boy fighting.

>The anime is still being discussed, analyzed, and debated to this very day
By the constant flow of new people and about new material. Go back to evageeks.com
>>121934841
The only thing that could be considered "deep" is the last 2 episodes, but it was irritating. Don't forget it's nothing but a way to do a make-up ending with a non-existent budget.
And it's only discussed because people keep creating threads instead of searching. There's also the big "What the fuck did I just watch?" meme that is being used by Evafags in order to use some space.
Latest topic I saw of the show was a waifu thread also. So intellectual and full of theories.
Don't pretend otherwise: Eva is still spoken about only because it has marked the oldfags and helped anime to recover.
There's nothing to discuss about it.

>>121936859
Shit that's tame.
I mean this is a guy who somehow managed to make a show originally meant to sell plastic toys seem even more empty and shallow.
>>121932703
I actually am okay with it because the normalfag Eva fans always flag themselves by buying into the 3deep5you shit seriously, making it easier to avoid them. They're fucking annoying but it doesn't stop my love of Eva. It's a very fun mecha show.

There are a lot of words I would use to describe NGE. Fun is not one of them.

>>121937089
>kill la kike reaction image
Not surprised you think that that constitutes bait. I've actually met evageeks-type people in real life and they're the most pretentious annoying motherfuckers you will ever meet.
They're also the first motherfuckers to overlook the actual themes of the show in favor of the religious symbolism bullshit and making other shit up like dumb liberal arts students.
>>121937235
>>121937345
>>121937375
I had a lot of fun seeing the series develop into a campy episodic monster of the week show with some sinister shit going on in the background only to have it go into maximum suffering after Ambivalence. Why are you even watching a show if you're not having fun?
Women.
The recent movies were marketed to women (AKA normalfags) by making them as gay as possible with Shinji and Kaworu flirting for an hour straight. So then the girls reblog eva pics on tumblr and twitter and get their boyfriends (non-virgins men, meaning they're normies too) to watch the movies with them, and like maybe 30% of their boyfriends will enjoy it too.
>>121937556
This is the 3rd Impact of bait.
Evangelion is one of most popular anime of all time, top 10 at the very least, how is this remotely surprising?
>>121937556
Fair enough, the monster of the week stuff is fun for awhile. After that second arc though, I would use "engaging" rather than fun.
>>121932127
>It wasn't always this way
Yes it was.
>>121937556
Holy shit.
>join a debate club
>the president posts GJ-bu gifs on the group's Facebook page
>>121932127
Yes it has been. The real question is why does it even matter.
>>121932703
>>121932127
Shut the fuck up. You faggots don't give a flying fuck about anime as an art form. You just want something to flaunt, like a fucking Rolex or some shit. Get the fuck out of here.

I generally watch shows to have fun, but with Evangelion, I slowly stopped having fun throughout the series and it turned into actual suffering by the end. I still think it was great show tho.
