Can Kaworu really be considered gay, though? I know superficially he is pretty homo, and he was actually supposed to be based on Ikuhara (who's Anno's friend), but canon-wise, Kaworu isn't even human, and he isn't really interested in Lilim more than as a curiosity, like a scientist observing ants.
The reason Shinji feels good with Kaworu is because Kaworu knows exactly how to be likeable to any human, not even in a sexual way. If he had to seduce Asuka instead of Shinji to fulfill his mission, he would have done so.
The only other character that wouldn't fall for Kaworu's charm is Rei, who instinctively knows Kaworu is an enemy, and also Rei isn't a human herself.

>> No.5557424

honestly people try to do psychoanalytic examination fo the characters btu what's most remarkable is how each of the three manages to capture each sense of the word "bitch". shinji is a bitch, rei is a bitch, and asuka is a bitch. but the word means a different thing for each one. lol

people who think the show is psychologically or symbolically deep are retards. this ain't a henry james or marcel proust novel. it's a cartoon with pretty basic characters and goofy misplaced religious symbols. theo nly things that make it "good" are the directing, some of the visual design, and the action/animation. which are things that matter in an action game.

I dunno, I liked the whole situation about Nerv having to deal with other robots piloted by humans (Jet Alone was remote controlled or AI).
I'm not saying it adds any vital part of information to the actual series, but it doesn't contradicts anything either (as is the case with GoS2 which is mostly fanfiction-tier where shinji can date kaworu and shit)

>little replayability
well, the main attraction of Eva 64 is that it's the only game that faithfully recreates the action scenes in the series and lets you control the evas without it being an RPG, VN or something like that.
It has some replayability, depending on how much you care about it. Unlocking every single special attack can take some time. Also a few missions having slightly different outcomes depending on your actions. There's also the simulation mode.
>and more like a puzzle game.
Genuinely curious, how exactly is it like a puzzle game?

>> No.5559998

>>5557468
>>5559953
Not him but in reality, it's not that absurd to want an action game. The series is notorious for other aspects, yeah, but action still comprises a large portion of Eva. To say that asking for an action game is "low IQ" is like saying that asking for a burger at a pizza restaurant is "imbecilic". It's actually worse really. Action is an expected genre of a large majority of adaptation games. Even if it's something like a literal book, it's almost subconsciously expected for it to receive some form of an action game adaption, and in most cases that's exactly what it gets. It's really more odd to want an interacting novel than an action game actually.

maybe puzzle game isn't the best wording, but
>mash these buttons in the correct order to instantly win
>aim really carefully to instantly win
>move the camera around and then press the right buttons to instantly win
then you get the few missions where it's a pseudo-fighting game with very simple combos with grapple attacks that devolve into button mash until your fingers break
it's not a very complex game. once you figure a mission out there's no variation, which is why the whole ng+ cycle is kinda pointless even if there's more content. it's still the same railroaded game.
I generally enjoyed it though.

Right, the angel (actually SoL, Lilith) soul is her personality, the body is a clone of Yui, but Yui's soul is inside Eva-01 (which is a clone of Lilith).
