Evangelion, a show where everyone has completely healthy relationships

I can relate to that loser in many ways, but I think the biggest hurdle that prevented me from fully taking the show seriously or it having any impact on me was the scale of the larger problem.

Like yeah, he was depressed, lonely, and abused, but at the same time… there are also literal demons about to the end the world. Yes, yes I know they’re metaphors for whatever. But come on. You cannot make the problem so grand, so earth shattering, and expect me to care about his depression. It’s the equivalent of feeling sorry for Jesus because he got nailed to a cross - suck it up, or else we all suffer.

Unironically, get in the fucking robot.

Though I guess this circles back to the problem of Omelas. Hmm . I looked this up to see if anyone had made more coherent analysis comparing the show and story, but surprisingly, not many.

I’m so fucked up

I wanna make a show called Evangelion Proto-Revelation, where Shinji REALLY WANTS to pilot a giant robot but his loving father won't let him cuz it's too dangerous. Also he has a healthy relationship with his red headed roommate despite the mild sexual tension between them.

ASUKA HELP ME PLEASE ASUKA HELP ME YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP ME (SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHERE REI IS)

But does he condemn hamas?

This is the parkland shooter interrogation, the kid was a fucking piece of shit. I believe in restorative justice, not for him. I dont care about what led him there.

I often can't believe some Japanese guy thought of this and was ok with making it. Like, really dude?

Then I think of some American guy who wrote the book "It".

Kids nowadays know everything about evangelion but nothing about John the evangelist 🙏

The Shinji pose is so funny and I've seen so many cosplays of that one specific pose

It's a great show. Modern anime sucks. Prove me wrong!

Remember seeing that as an 8 year old and thinking it was sweat lmao I only found out after reading a summary ten years later.

I still don't understand the ending

This is really good.

Gonna plug this weird proto-punk song I found a few days ago Malewife: Get in the robot, Shinji
