Anno hates all of you for making threads like this. Lol.

But yeah, Asuka always was my favorite. Her character arc is the most interesting to me. Far more depth than Rei, and slightly more complicated than Shinji. You know what though, I'm really surprised people don't talk more about Kaji. He's not as in-your-face interesting as any of the main cast, but I've always wanted to take a closer look at what makes him work.

I didn't like Asuka at first.

But when it became clear that she had the worst mental health issues of the entire cast, I really started to sympathize with her.

>> No.9167556

I'm only curious, but how are Asuka's mental health issues worse than Shinji's?

Out of everyone, she always got the worst thrown at her, but she seemed to handle it better than Shinji ever could. She's messed up and had a terrible past, but I don't see how she could be more messed up in the head than Shinji, maybe Rei.

Asuka is a raging ball of self-loathing that can barely differentiate between herself and a dead doll. Shinji is mostly depressed.

Asuka probably has an even lower self-esteem than Shinji does. So that's why she hides it all through acting like she's the best thing since sliced cake and forces people always through being a jerkass.

Then there's speculation that she always fit guilty for living on while her mother died, so yeah.

I might, now that you mention it...

>>9169109
Possibly, but I'm not sure how. EoTV is primarily an argument against solipsism and self-delusion, so in order to establish that it's also pro-otaku, you'd have to establish that otaku culture is itself inimical to solipsism. I'd actually say that, given the show's context in the Lost Decade, it's more anti-otaku than anything else. Anno, Sadamoto, and Tsurumaki's statements seem to be to that effect anyway.

Well, here's the thing: Evangelion is my favorite anime ever, but the damn thing is awful at making itself understood. So, few people got the point, or if they did, they didn't truly feel it. However, Evangelion is really good at exploring the psychology of the otaku archetype, so it's extremely effective emotionally. Those two things combined, and Evangelion's success despite its message doesn't seem so strange anymore. At least, that's how I see it.

>>9169656
Thank you. Now, in your opinion, what is it that makes Evangelion a failure? Certainly it's not a financial failure, so what is it that the show did that caused it to be a failure as a whole? I've heard very compelling (not convincing, but very interesting) arguments for this, but I'm interested in yours.

>> No.9169711

>>9169697
No, his failure was that despite his intents, he did not manage to insult his fans, or as I put it earlier ``spit in the face of your (his) income.'' Eva itself is wildly popular and successful, a fairly entertaining series. Anno intended it to be some social commentary and really all his attempts at moralfagging do is mess around with an entertaining story. What effect that messing has on the story is debateable. His depression is not an excuse and never was.

>> No.9169754

>>9169585
Honestly I don't see how anyone could like Eva for anything but characters and setting, because nothing even seems to barely logically follow from the events in the show. Besides, the argument that it appears to be giving seems to be extremely weak logically.

>>9169711
Fair enough. I think Anno himself would agree to that, actually. Still, I think Evangelion has more to offer than simply an entertaining story. While he (and don't forget Tsurumaki and Sadamoto) failed to make themselves clear, their point is still there to be found. Beyond that, there's the excellent exploration of depression and self-value that is what most fans (including myself) fell in love with it for. I do see your point though.

Wouldn't it be philosofagging though? Lol.

He was basically bashing on otaku culture for not being socially productive and acceptable as far as I can recall. I do not remembe rthe show all that clearly, so I may be simplifying it a bit.

Incidentally, I originally became infatuated with the show because it presented to a fairly young me alien monsters that operated by blatently overwriting the laws of a more conventional reality.
