Aquarion does the same thing better with gattai and WAY more orgasms. And Aquarion Gendo is cool as poo poo. He's crazy as gently caress and spends his time giving bizarre lessons like "real warriors dont wear shoes" and, "space arrows pointing in three directions equals space light cube equals UNLIMITED POWER." Finally, the protagonist was a dog in his previous life but levelled up to human cuz he was a chill fukkin dog.

You're saying the guy who cloned his wife as a teenager and has her killed multiple times and built a robot for his son to pilot that is inhabited by the soul of his dead wife is not crazy enough for you?
Also dude spent like 15 years to bring about the end of humanity as we know it because he misses his dead wife.

People describing it as "psychoanalytic" really hits home the reason I hated this series so much: Freud was an rear end in a top hat pervert who set back the stage of psychology by fifty years with his self-projected predatory bullshit.

that should make you like it, since the show appears to be about the author resolving his issues through psychoanalysis but is actually about how psychoanalysis is destroying him

This is the most hosed-up thing said in the thread; Sagisu is part of why Eva is so good. His work is way better in the original series compared to Rebuild, though, considering that he was more concerned with aping 60s and 70s television soundtracks than making his older work fit with the dumb sound of modern Hollywood. The Anthem in particular is really bad compared to the original New Nautilus theme.

The scene in 2.22 when Unit 01 crushes Asuka's pod in its teeth was the most intense for me. Def some powerful emotions there.

ya, Sahaquiel is my favourite fight. This sequence is almost a shot-for-shot remake of the original 1995 version with WAY better animation//effects.

The fight scenes are kind of bad in 2 and really poo poo in 3. They turned all the monsters into rubbery snakes, it's like a 50's Silly Symphony. The clumsy lumbering fights in the series and EoE are way more effective.

I'll agree with the angels in 3.0 being weaksauce; I still have no idea what's going on once Eva Mark.06 awakens and the 12th angel pops out. I really like the fight beforehand, though.

the 2d conundrum of being stuck between a boob and a soft place is indeed challenging. do you find it odd that the moebius loop lacks cleavage?

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

Aquarion-Gendo is good crazy rather than scary, hosed up crazy. he doesnt gotta do any weird science because the most powerful artifact in creation already legit belongs to him. all hes gotta do is find triads of kids that dont mind orgasming together, throw them inside the machine, and watch the magic happen while giving extremely cryptic lessons. And the kids are all fine with this. as opposed to...

hm and yet even in his escapist harem/mecha fantasy the best comfort he can manage is whacking off on a hospitalized girl. maybe nge is really about goons all along

The rights to the international release are presumably still in the hands of ADV Films. Give them to Funimation already, jeez.
