All jokes and memes aside, Evangelion is bad.
it's got some good action sequences and some cool mech designs, but it's 90% psychological wankery about terrible, unlikable, repulsive characters and several episodes are made mostly of still frames and stock footage.

The only people who like it are:
-impressionable teenagers who have never watched another pretentious anime before and think it's the deepest shit of all time
-self-pitying losers who can identify with the characters' issues because they're deeply fucked in their heads and glamorize depression like being fucked in the head is something to be proud of.
You know, the same kind of people who wank over Spiderland and Loveless and probably had an emo phase in their high school years.

So, it's only effay in the way skinny jeans and oversized sweaters are. In a pathetic way.

Had to do what they could with the budget, I'll admit it can look cheap at times but I think it turned out pretty well, and even more so In the director's cut and movie.
The last 2 episodes can get very divided opinions on this though.
In one hand they were extremely jarring in quality, however when viewed in context they enhanced the instrumentality scenes even more than normal animation would have.

It wasn't bait. Bait, by definition, is dishonest.

Insults, on the other hand, are genuine and honest.

And everything I wrote was my actual opinion.

Now, is there a word for people who get called "pathetic losers" and then overanalyze that statement as if it were a convoluted passive-aggressive scheme to make them feel bad about themselves without actually saying offensive things?
Cause I think that word is "oblivious retards", and I think you're one for not realizing that I was insulting evafags in a very blunt and straightforward manner.

Nope. It can be admirable, but not enjoyable.

Enjoying things because they are 'well written' or otherwise high quality without necessarily being conventionally 'entertaining' is a sign that you engage with the art you consume intellectually, rather than relying on the possibility of being passively 'entertained'. You like being challenged, connecting with the author's message or your interpretation of it, and taking something away.

Man, making an argument this absurd only happens with the retarded faggots on /fa/ (still love you though). Firstly, art can fucking depict every aspect of the human condition. War and rape are nasty and disgusting, so should the Illiad have been forgotten? Also, you're generalizing all sickness like depression isn't an illness that directly influences how you communicate and how your thought processes work, thus making it suitable for an artistic expression in a character drama. And there's a certain ugliness in depression that Evangelion never fails to highlight. These characters have mostly lost their will to live, if someone emphasizes, that's their choice but it's depicting struggle that does exist, not some weirdly morphed view of the real world where depression is admirable. Fuck you, leave this fucking place and read a book you idiot.

It's not 'challenging' in the sense that it is mentally painful or unpleasant, only in the sense that it causes you to consider what it's saying, which is enjoyable in itself.

That's why we're having this argument, because you're clinging to dumb shit like Eva solely because it allows you to look a little bit more high-brow.

That would be horrible.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of either Eva or it's audience if you think it has anything to do with glamourizing depression. It's about a work of honest communication that people connect to. It tells a truth about life, and it does so in an entertaining way with fun sci-fi and cool images.

If you like this thing I hate you're a shitty person because of x/y/z is a pretty shitty worldview if you ask me. I think art is valuable and all that, but it's just art/entertainment/whatever at the end of the day. Not a reason to dislike people.

There's more to it than that, and it doesn't make depression out to be good at all, so the last line doesn't really apply.

>you tried to defend Evangelion by pointing out that it was intellectually challenging
Evangelion is briefly and at times intellectually challenging (by anime standards), but also very entertaining. It's not something I would rank as a highly intellectually challenging work, and I never claimed it was. I took issue to the criticism of people who enjoy anything that makes them think in ways outside of simply being entertained, because that was the logical conclusion of your arguments against Eva.
>This isn't about me, this is about YOU.
Nah dude, it is actually about you, because you started out your 'Eva is bad' by saying 'it's bad to like a show about depression, and anyone who likes it must be XXXX/YYYYY', which everyone who replied to you disagreed with.
>high brow meme
>intellectualism is bullshit
