That's just how it is. If you can't wrap your mind around this basic truth you are missing out on a lot of hysterical black irony It's hard to explain to people who haven't grown up with anime in the 90's (or at least, don't make the effort to go back and watch a lot of older anime) just how revolutionary Evangelion was to the industry. There was an expectation-even from people within the studio-that it would be cancelled within the first ten episodes. They were given a hugely limited budget which they famously used up before the finale episodes. It was not only a psychological exploration of what it means to be depressed, but it was a blatant dress-down of mecha and harem anime-i.e. the s--- the otaku cult fap to constantly. Psychological breakdowns and meta-commentary are so common in anime, nowadays, people don't realize that it's a trend Eva more or less pioneered, along with a bunch of other things Anonymous 08/28/13(Wed)21:15 No.92356753 Replies: 92356779>92356998 A large basis for Evangelion-of which Anno has openly owned-is kind of an intensely public therapy session. Anno was said to have a huge disenchantment with the otaku lifestyle, going so far as to say said lifestyle was akin to autism. He fell into a depression. That depression took form in Eva, and basically started tearing apart a lot of what was common at the time. For example, Eva basically deconstructs mecha and harem archetypes by asking if fully developed human beings that acted like this existed in real life, and were forced to pilot giant robots, how would this play out?" We're given a hypothetical scenario of how teenaged pilots would realistically react under the pressures of piloting a mecha at the stakes are SAVING THE WORLD. We're given common archetypes-the tsundere, the cool onee-san, the kuudere-and have the show go out of its way to show that they're not walking sex fantasies but actual three-dimensional women: human beings capable of living and operating without your penis to validate them. We're also given the pressures of society that is placed upon people with depression, giving them little sympathy and instead berating them for not sucking it up □ Anonymous 08/28/13(Wed)21:15 No.92356779 Replies: >>923568062292356998 And then, you know, there was Kaworu, who showed up at the end of the series for one episode and gave the otaku fanbase a huge case of gay panic when Shinji was kind of on board to ride his baloney pony. With all the harem options available, it was kind of a sardonic twist of the knife to have Shinji go with the dude that shows up out of nowhere instead. The promotional pictures of Kaworu and Shinji hanging all over each other in pin-ups similar to Asuka, Rei and Misato just kind of shove that in their faces all the more how how much people still perceived Eva to be the passionate-shonen romp mecha anime usually they thought it was at the time: Eva was origin ildre de-eve Anno about t sponded saying children should be subjected to how much life sucks as early as possible.
