If this is a mature show for grown-ups, how come there's so much convenient censorship?

Real artists don't care about showing nipples.

I don't think Eva is for grown ups. I watched the original series when I was in middle school, and realized it was shit when I got to college.

Yes. People are naked under that underwear, but the artists are too afraid to show it.

I felt this way about Lain.

A trying-too-hard-to-be-artsy show like Macross Zero can show a little girl topless, and yet Lain has no nipples. And don't give me that shit about how it was the Wired or whatever.

Why won't Sadamoto grow a pair and show us Pen-Pen's cloaca?

Artists these days are too afraid of offending children to give their fans what they want.

1. The original was technically a children's show.

2. As a pastiche, it's done in a tongue-in-cheek manner. When it isn't, they don't really hold back--e.g. Rei's nipples in one of the earlier Rebuilds, vaginas and tits everywhere in EoE.

3. Sometimes, "censored" fanservice is more titillating than outright nudity. This kind of goes with point 2.

Evangelion isn't a pastiche, any more than every other series which has ever existed is.

Yes it is. Most of NGE is a mashup of older mecha/sci-fi series (notably Yamato, MS Gundam, and Ideon) and tokusatsu.

Though allusion and parody have long been staples of the medium, NGE has an unprecedented amount of it.

>> No.10892511

A series containing mechas doesn't mean it's a 'mashup' of mecha anime. Mecha is a genre. You don't call something a pastiche because it builds on previous successes. A pastiche explicitly imitates.

It's shaky ground to say that something is imitating Yamato because it has mechas, just like it's shaky ground to say that something is imitating AzuManga because it's a lighthearted slice-of-life.

>> No.10892515

>>10892511
Considering that Azumanga was the peak of non-fantasy-world silice-of-life, and the genre has gone to shit since it, everything is imitating it.

>> No.10892542

>>10892511
It's more than just the fucking mecha. It's the plot, the themes, and the in some cases shots lifted wholesale (e.g. Rebuild 2.22 and Ultraman). If he isn't borrowing from himself, he's borrowing from someone else. And as far as I'm aware Yamato has no mecha. The only reason why I can even say that NGE is a pastiche with fair certainty is because Murakami has touched on some of the myriad influences in Little Boy.

Ugh. It's hardly even a SoL considering the surrealism and absurd humor. It's a comedy more than anything.

>> No.10892573

There's nothing unoriginal about the plot. Name another series about children mecha pilots working under a man who wants to homogenize human consciousness, working contrary to the goals of his benefactors.
