>>12392485
True but Asuka's troubles aren't nearly extensive enough to make him really empathise. The pathos of Kierkegaard's problems is that he thought them up all by himself, and furthermore at every point realised that clearly. To Asuka, caught in comparatively easy lines of wanting-to-be-a-good-child-by-killing-angels, he could feel nostalgic pity, but not a possibility of mutual understanding.

[Anonymous No.12392531]

It's not about depth, it's about the commentary about the human condition, the feeling of self loathing and interpersonal relationships. In those regards Evangelion takes the opposite approach though.

If Shinji were a Dostoevskij's character, in the end, he would lose.

This is the exact reason the rebuilds exist. Anno is dissapointed that everyone lost the point of what he was saying about anime, escapism, unrealistic characters (case in point tsunderes, which anno pointed out with asuka that an actual tsundere would be emotionally broken). He made them as a reaction to the way people reacted to his work, it’s his indictment of anime, weebs and the way people responded to the original. It becomes very clear once you look at the rebuilds.
>1.11
No real changes, basically exact same
>2.22
This is where it goes bonkers. The existence of mari as a stereotypical anime girl without any real depth is an early warning sign. The next signs are Asuka name change and way of acting, her name was changed to shikinami. If Im not mistaken, -nami as a suffix means normal. The way she acts changes, she becomes a cardboard cutout of a tsundere to the point of cooking for shinji to get his attention, in other words she becomes a normal tsundere which anno hates for being a fantasy. Theres also the case of Rei, who becomes far more open and attempts to reach out to everyone and come out of her shell. This inverts the original, it gives weebs what they want and makes her get with shinji. Their fantasies came true. Pt1

[Anonymous No.12393182]

>>12393154

I agree. A lot of Kaiji and Dostoyevsky even Tolstoy to an extent share a lot of similarities with how they portray human behavior and the human condition. Zola also fits in this category.

Pt2
So now we get to what happens at the ending, Rei is dead more or less and instead of shinji’s mother being the one that causes eva 01 to reactivate it’s shinji’s desire to get Rei back. What happens happens and he pulls her out of the angel. This all happens, to quote Ritsuko, “because of one boy’s wish”. He causes third impact and everything that follow because of his own desire for Rei. Anno is using Rei and shinji as a proxy here for weebs and waifus. Shinji is basically saving his waifu, even though she tells him not to and that there will be others just like her. Its wish fulfillment for weebs, they finally get what they want. Then comes Kaowru to cut it all short. What he says is important, “I will show you true happiness”

>3.33
Everyone hates this one because they choose not to understand it. This whole movie is anno saying “your wishes came true, now deal with the consequences”. To start with, the other characters are furious with him for his actions. He caused all their suffering out of his own selfishness. Its all not a coincidence that its been 14 years and nothing has changed. It was about 14 years in reality between EOE and 3.0, Anno is saying the characters haven’t changed in that time and neither have you. You’ve done nothing since then and you cannot redo (making sense now?) what’s happened. Of course this is not an entirely negative tale and kaowru makes good on his promise. pt 3

Kaowru is meant to show that yes you can still change and improve through human connection as well as through creating and adding to the world. He finally makes shinji happy, showing weebs the light. Of course theres also rei to deal with. Rei in this movie is what a waifu actually is, a blank slate, nothing. She won’t reject you, she won’t act for herself, she is not real. You got what you wanted, and now you get to see the real downsides. Everything circles back to wish fulfillment and fantasies. To those who want to undo those 14 years? Too bad, you can’t. By removing the spears and rushing into things in an attempt to fix the world and undo it all, Shinji fucks it up even more. His one friend dies and he is left broken again as Mari tells him to get his shit together. It ends with Asuka dragging shinji along because he simply wont do anything for himself in his shocked state because his actions caused even more pain for those around him.
Tl;dr Stop with the fucking waifus and get a life you retard weebs.

There's nothing exceptional about the psychological themes in any of the characters. If there's no correlation with the religious imagery, NGE is just a Peterson-tier 'clean your room, shinji' self helpy waste of time.

Dunno about P&V but OP's translation is awful. It preserves none of the tone, none of the Underground Man's playfulness that mixes lackeyry with bitter sarcasm all of the time.
