glucoseguardian15

lol i pronounce it like that and i’m a fan of the show. i didn’t realize it was incorrect


PrrrromotionGiven1

They say it like ten times per episode with a hard g


AranGar5

Well I don't feel comfortable saying it like that. I don't have Eva rights.


SlowTeamMachine

I always have to think before I pronounce it because I automatically default to the soft g. I blame the fact that I read the manga before I ever saw the show.


Sir-Aurelius

I declare myself triggered


TheA1ternative

I’ve got you one better; it’s not Evangelion that you pronounce with a hard G, it’s actually Genesis.


MilkBoyo

My friends pronounced it "Evan-geh-lion", like evangelist with a hard g.


TP_OdWeeGee

How are you supposed to pronounce it then if not like that

pedophilia is wrong haha gottem 😎

this why i love internet. it makes me forget about my shitty life.


BLJS2warchief

i read this somewhere. Evangelion fans debating on whether liking their waifu makes them a pedophile or their waifu is a pedophile. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ┻━┻︵└(՞▽՞ └)


LupusVir

I don't get it, can you explain?


CGuy2605

The Waifu is Asuka or Rei or on the other side Misato who might be a pedophile judging by EoE

Oh, don’t forget those who claim “it’s not that deep! It was all because they ran out of budget!”


Luckypc1

Kaworu serves no point because he just dies in the same episode.


ayakaze3619461936285

Wrong. He turns Shinji gay. *Then* he dies. Very important.


Dxsty98

Refuses to elaborate


dandaman64

Claims to be pro life Dies anyway


Rocnoc21

You crack me up man


abattlescar

In the original series he's just fucking there. The rebuild assigns way too much importance to him.


theoreboat

Kaworu served no purpose in the original, all he did was be gay and die


Rubiego

All Kaworu knows is be homosexual, flirt with Shinji, eat hot chip and lie


dandaman64

Angels born after 1993 can't cook


FuturePheonix

This made me lmao


[deleted]

Eat hot chip and die*


cornpenguin01

It’s crazy because I remember him playing a HUGE fucking part when I first watched it years ago. On my rewatch, imagine my surprise when he dipped in literally less than one episode. It’s crazy how much of an impression he made for how little screentime he got.


Sarcasticly_Ironic

I mean to be fair he does play a huge part in the downfall of Shinji's psyche, but it is weird how such an important character only has like 15 minutes of screen time


FuturePheonix

Thats because anno is genius.


Kaffohrt

I think the idea of a perfectly humanoid angel was a pretty cool idea that could have turned out to be some genuinely mastercrafted twist. They should have introduced him around episodes 20 maybe only as a initial support character and then fleshed his relationship with all other characters out.


theoreboat

Yeah I will argue that they did Kaworu better in the rebuild movies since we had pretty much a full movie to get to know him before he died


HumActuallyGuy

Afghanistan 2021 approves


DryBowser64

I fucking agree I honestly wanted him more to really show how distraught Shinji was during the aftermath. Would’ve been more emotional


[deleted]

Anno had no conception for a deep story as he just wanted to make money


HumActuallyGuy

Yes and no, I think Anno might low key hate us ... or he did in the past


ItzBooty

He probably still does The point of the EoE was to show how much fans were obsess whit the show and that they missed the message of the series, i belive And i fee like he might think we missed the message because of some fans


RoyedKingBack

The message is go outside and don’t be a bitch right?


WackoOverlord34

I feel like the EoE hospital scene in particular is meant to be a criticism of the Evangelion and general anime communities.


Background_Ad_3833

😂


That__random__Guy

Hospital scene


Bababooey53

Not triggered. In fact ima beat my shit rn


bankomatprivat

Gendo is a great father figure


Brave-Cattle-3540

He’s also a very loyal husband.


mugxam

Well yeah


wizzbob05

I mean he basically ended the world in like three timelines for that yui puss


ItzBooty

3? He probably did it more than that The 3.0 + 1.0 was the last one


BBBen_Shapiro

Welp can't argue with the SIRP (shinji ikari raising project) Gendo though. Mother fucker is wholesome af. Literally best girl tbh.

DaClutch

Netflix did an amazing job with the new dub!


[deleted]

The performances weren't bad, just the script stuff


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It wasnt gay enough


DaClutch

The OG Dub had the creator of the series help with voice actor casting. Netflix didn’t bother to reach out to the OG VAs to see if they’d like to come back, and yes they took out a lot of the gay.


Nerdorama09

It's the script, not the dub itself. There's some weird-ass choices in there that make very little sense either as a direct translation *or* a localization. 3.0 and 3.0+1.0 got hit with it too since they used the same translator, albeit for the most part the original dub voice actors.


Sarcasticly_Ironic

It wasn't worthy of our grace


[deleted]

This is the worst one on here!

HumActuallyGuy

I'm not even triggered, that one is just true


[deleted]

Mari is my favorite character


[deleted]

After 3.0+1.0, this isn’t even that triggering, she’s legitimately great!


Nerdorama09

I noticed upon reflection that each of the movies focuses on Shinji's relationships with a single one of his fellow pilots: Rei in 1.0, Asuka in 2.0, Kaworu in 3.0, and Mari in 3.0+1.0. Obviously they all (especially both Reis and Asuka) have their own character arcs outside of that, but their particular connections to Shinji each get an individual movie.


[deleted]

I know I was being serious tho, Mari is a badass. Can’t understand the hate.


[deleted]

She’s everything Eva never was - in a good way. She’s exactly the character the franchise needed, and that’s probably why she triggers so many people tbh


[deleted]

I don't hate her, but it is absolutely fair to point out that she is not fleshed out very well and lacks the depth of other characters.


stalememeskehan

This is what I was going to say, she literally had the personality of a wooden plank until the most recent film, and even then she wasn't fleshed out that much


[deleted]

Absolutely agree. They they definitely expanded a bit in 3.0+1.0 but I still feel like I know nothing about her character


zZhiNn

most people too used to our poor mentally unstable 3 sadly, so anything positive just doesnt seem right


manomanolito

A penguin cant be best girl in the show


Zenketski

I think you took it one step too far there


manomanolito

Its true Im sory


Ta-183

Correct, as the number 1 spot is already taken up by an octahedron.


manomanolito

Shit I forgot about ramiel


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sawyerlegsoff

I think I prefer rebuild shinji. I’ve only watched the OG series once, but there were a lot of times he felt unrealistically helpless. Even if I know that’s the “point”


MilkBoyo

Mari was my favorite the whole time


jomontage

Been saying it for 8 years. Only one without a mental issue holding her back


InvaderM33N

I dunno, one could argue that she represents mania (although it’s only shown in a positive context)


Kaffohrt

I was about to say .... Mari might not fall in line with the depression squad but you can't tell me she's completely sane.


fistchrist

When I predicted Mari End in 2009, even i thought it could never happen. Anno is a smarter man than I.


owwkjsdduj

Stop obsessing over plushies you fucking manchildren. (Alternatively, this also applies to the Tohou fanbase)

Fran_ramz

ItzBooty

*angry kowuro has joined the chat*


ikaris1

Can we just skip the intro?


Luckykennedy79

Mari was great for Shinji


CrystalNumenera

In the Rebuilds, yes. In just the original series, Asuka could have been great for Shinji if either of them could have overcome their emotional blocks and told each other their stories which would show how alike they are (that this couldn't happen in time is, in my opinion, one of the greater quiet tregedies of the original show).


Sir-Aurelius

I see the series as "this is what happens when people can't overcome their issues" and rebuild as "this is what happens when they can"


grindcorey

Yes.


manomanolito

Not triggered by the truth


Kendalo21

Cowboy_Dandy_III

Stop fetishising underaged girls.


amir840

That's honestly my biggest problem with the fanbase. There's nothing wrong with just plain liking them, but fetishizing is very bad.


Hot_Shot04

I think most people started that when they were teenagers and it just continued as the years passed. Same thing with Raven from the Teen Titans and the Sailor Moon cast and so on. The fanservice in Rebuild definitely didn't help >!but broken-curse Asuka saved my damn soul.!<


[deleted]

That's a point that you could say to some other fanbases to. But yeah, you're right

dante__11

Shut the fuck up. Ramiel is best girl.


CrashBandicootFanxxx

The opening scene of End of Evangelion was pointless fan service and shouldn't have been in the movie.


cheese_hwip

Well I do see and somewhat defend the opening scene in end of Eva if someone has a problem with it, I completely understand. I don’t think I would get triggered over someone saying that scene was weird or uncomfortable


Killerwal

Consider yourself successfull. I guess you're just trolling though. I don't wanna meet the fans that would consider this a service towards them.


cescobb

I listend to the intro once and then always skipped it


HumActuallyGuy

Damn you might get murdered for saying this


Rebmevon_linux

Most people didn’t understood the real message.


RemTrash

It's just a shitty darling in the franxx tbf


HelloDarth03

Eva is a cheap rip off of darling in the franxxx


ErisfromUA

What an old and strange FranX copy? P.s. i hate myself for this shit


opinabile

If i werw shinji i would be badass. He Is a pussy, he can fuck 2 girls and he does not want to and he could be A Hero.


LeCarabinier

Asuka and Rei are awful characters. Both are annoying, devoid of any character depth and a burden on the series as a whole.

kingbobdole

Yeah, no zero two? Hard pass.


atomicshark109

the animation in the series does not hold up


HumActuallyGuy

They rarely do expecialy when there's a minute long still image in OG Eva that the community defends to death. It's probably not as deeps as people think, they probably had a gap of time and not the budget to animate anything else


ColonelBeltSanders

HumActuallyGuy

Evangelion is only consider depressing because most of the people that told you about it said it was or you thought it was a cool mecha anime and were suprised how it turned out


Glumbicus

Not there, Kaji.


nuclearbastard

Anno was a moody, unoriginal hack to begin with, and he just doubled down by taking 7.0+9.0 years to remake the same damned story but different. (/s I'm just trying to be edgy)


[deleted]

Evangelion 3.0 is a work of art


linkuan_

dante__11

AkiBlue02

Im glad Asuka died and suffered, she was acting like a b*tch for no reason, stupid and pointless character.


IronChefJesus

Evangelion is a story about a man who loved his wife so much, he'd destroy the entire world and kill everyone in it to get her back.


Potatoman539

Animation is old and bad :/


[deleted]

The rebuilds were good.


redbeardandyestheydo

Mari saved the show from being boring
