A question for all you Anime fans
« on: July 21, 2006, 10:32:32 am »
I should ask, what is your opinions on Neon Genesis Evangelion (And End of Evaneglion, if you will), oh ye Anime fans?

Feel free to give your opinions, but do not flame or bash the anime. Also, if you've only heard of it, what were you told?

I've only been told of it, and heard great things :D

Man, I gotta watch that.

As I've told Legend before, Eva is alright, but way too weird for my tastes.  Not to mention I hate Shinji, and it's hard to like an anime when you hate the main character.

Can I blame you for disliking an anti-hero? Shinji is a whiner, but you can find yourself in some of his qualities.

As far as the large toys... Yeah, they're huge, but once you find out some of the secrets about those toys seeing what they do them makes me cringe. But it's one of the finest shows I've ever watched, so yeah.

It's a kickass mecha anime! The story is very deep & the fight scences are a sight to behold. The station that I've been watching has lots of scene that had been cut off though. That sucks....

I love Neon Genesis Evangelion. The story, the animation. Asuka.

Amen on all three. ESPICALLY ASUKA. She really got screwed over at the end, though. It's like she died three times.

Anime=/= Manga. Less Angels, some events are overlooked, and it seems it's more ReixShinji oriented, while the Anime tends towards ShinjixAsuka.

The anime is incredible. I can't see how the psychological scenes can be any more creepy. The Manga lacks that, I think, and the psychological horror the Anime dumps on you is so much less powerful in the Manga. The plot is amazing, the battles are incredible and the characters, well, you have Rei and you have Asuka. You've got two stunning ladies, each mentally disturbed in some way. Shinji seems to take advantage of that in the movie, in what I call 'The Scene Who Must not be Named'.

Watch it on YouTube. They've got the Director's Cut episodes, so you get to see all the secret scenes and Episode 24's infamous plot-hole.

greatest mind fuck in the history of anime. it makes you question, and makes you question EVERYTHING.

Mind fucks come mostly in the second half, which is, ironically enough, the most intresting part in my eyes. The mind fucks are glorious and creepy, so yeah. It didn't haunt my sleep, but it sure made my waking hours a nightmare when the lights are out. >>

I haven't seen any of Eva, thought I heard it's about robots and that it's either a love or hate anime, like Dragon Ball Z. Also, if you just happen to be interested in finding a good anime with giant robots, try Escaflowne. I saw the movie of it on Adult Swim, ahem, [adult swim], and it was great.

Escaflowne is one of the most beautiful anime I have ever seen.

Shinji masturbating over a half-naked comatose Asuka? I'm there.
