Iron Maiden is your happy ending.

>>7181783
That's pretty much why it exists

>>7181783
It is fan fiction from an official source. The endings are happy as it is written as if it slots right into the TV series. It isn't cannon, but they sure give Mana all the appeal worth remembering.

>>7182998
fucking photo-kunnnnnnnn rip these CD-ROMs!

>>7183009
Want to but can't. Afraid of legal ramifications.

>>7184542
hahahah, I know it's not you because of the IP count, but would be funny if he came up with that excuse.

>>7181783

whos this whore

>>7181783
Anno complained about these games he didn't approve that Gainax had made and how they don't fit in with Eva

and then he and Khara approve shit like the eva horse and shaving gendou

>>7185301

Anno is a big sellout nowadays, nobody's denying that.

I still hold much more respect for him than say, Shoji Kawamori or Hayao Miyazaki. Those two lack any self-awareness whatsoever.

>>7183009
I am looking into getting a disc drive:

>nowadays
The shaving Gendou is from like ten years ago (I think 2.0) while his big whining expose on Gainax was from just last year though, so it's hilarious in how he totally lacks the ability to look at himself and see how ridiculous it is.

>>7184564
Be respectful toward Miss Mana, you mongrel.

>>7182998
>It isn't cannon
Why even bother with it then? EVA isn't a happy series and there isn't a happy ending for anyone. It's a show for angsty teens.

>>7184564
It's Shinji with longer, recolored hair

>>7185301
>Anno complained about these games
Source?

Iron Maiden is not "canon" because it wasn't written by Anno, but it still had a lot of TV series staff working on the art, and the guys who designed the game were veterans at Gainax doing games and software, it wasn't outsourced, it was made by the in-house Gainax software devs.
The story in Iron Maiden can perfectly fit in the action arc (after Asuka arrives, before Touij becomes a pilot), there's nothing in the game that contradicts canon
>angsty teens
You can probably say this about any piece of media ever, vague connotation.

Wasn't Evangelion the way for Anno to cope with his past? That or he's a sick fuck who wants to bang his own mother.

>>7181796
EXCELLENT! *gutiar riffs*

>25 years after its release, Hideaki Anno’s Shinseiki Evangelion has become a milestone of animation history, with each episode hailed for its unique take on sci-fi and human drama. But when people first watched them, the episodes on Evangelion were unusually terrifying, featuring a level of broken emotional vulnerability that your average mecha show just wasn’t committing to.

>Nowhere is that truer than on Episodes 25 and 26, the TV finale which closes with main character Shinji Ikari breaking down and weeping openly over the abuse he suffered as a pilot. Now, in the first episode of our new podcast Inside The Anime Industry, members of Gainax and famed anime producer Hiroyuki Yamaga remember the harrowing experience of producing this game-changing moment.

>“We had a day dedicated to it, and everything was ready,” Yamaga told Animage. “I think it was probably the last episode we produced with everybody together. I went to the animation booth, and I said to Anno—I think I held his arms and looked at him, and I said, ‘You know what to do.’ And he goes, ‘Yeah.’ And I start animating.…When you see the creak at the end of the episode, the actual tape ran out and rolled off the reel…it was perfect.”

wait a minute I thought iron maiden game looked different

>>7186119
I see. I read that in the saturn game you get to see her naked but NOT asuka? sounds like a shit game

>>7181783
He cannonically blows his seed in her mooshy biscut OP and causes her to climax on the first insert...its in the fucking game.

Shinji is the beauty standard every female should strive for.

>>7186129
iirc he said he made it based on his own experiences on having difficulty opening up to people and making friends, like as a way of shocking lonely otaku into realizing they can't live their entire lives isolated by making something that appeals to them while trying to teach them a lesson
never saw welcome to the NHK but i would guess that had a similar motive

>>7187198
Well, there's this scene in the game.
It's censored in the PS1 version, but not on the original PC or the Saturn version.
And yes there's a scene with Mana naked (you can see tiddies), but I'm not sure if that was on the console versions, likely not.

>>7182998
this is a level of obsession i can get behind, fucking awesome keycaps

>>7187510
>It's censored in the PS1 version, but not on the original PC or the Saturn version.
So it is censored on the later PC version?

>>7187973
I've no idea, the version of Girlfriend of Steel that I played was from a rip of the DVD-ROM version from the second impact box from 2001, so it wasn't the original CD-ROM version, but I'm sure nothing was changed. Can't speak for the later re-release for PC or PS2.

>>7185467
He has already admitted on the booklet of the Khara 10th Anniversary Expo celebrated on 2016 that one of the reasons why he wants to Gundamize Evangelion, ie, to let people do his own takes on Evangelion at Khara is so they can have a nice source of money that can be reinvested on new projects because nothing can be done without money.
Meanwhile with Yamaga and fellows guys at Gainax you have them being a bunch of utter incompetent idiots when it comes to care of their own company, plus the villany of they backstabbing and backtracking on closed to finished deals with Anno.

Boomer fans hated 3.0 and the new generation of millennial weebs don't give a fuck. The franchise is dead on the water.

>>7188170
>boomer meme
3.0 was weird but so was episodes 25 and 26 of TV series, and Death and Rebirth (which only contained 25 minutes of new footage and ended on cliff hanger). That made fans of Eva in 1996/1997 go mad to the point of sending death threats to Anno, but you already knew that.
Anno is going to do it again with 1.0+3.0, prepare for the next EoE, and prepare for the internet exploding and imploding at the same time. Never doubt Master Anno.
