I guess this is the Eva thread here.
I rewatched TV Eva for the first time in 23 years since my thirdoid TV station broadcast in the early 00s, and I loved it!
It's not only as good as I remember it as a dumbass 10 year old kid, it's even better as a retarded 33 year old.
The plot was entertaining, I can appreciate the mecha and tokusatsu homages much better now that I've spent my 15 last years being a smelly mecha otaku, the now-retro tech aesthetics were peak, the show has supreme emotional depth and no jaded internet person can convince me otherwise, and it resonates deeply with despite being closer to a normoid than a western otaku of the /a/ variety.
And I still have a crush on "teh" Rei somehowI don't get why deb8 around this show gets so messy online. My guess is that the biblical / old testament theming and the visceral depiction of violence (physical or otherwise) annoys certain sensibilities.
>>766Funnily enough this is the kind of internet post that sent Anno into an autistic frenzy when making EoE back in the '90s, even if I know it's mostly in jest.
