Misato has ice, snacks and 50 GALLONS OF BEER in her fridge lmao. Mood. Her car is wrecked and there’s a monster that might kill her and all she can think about is car payment loans lol. She’s just like me fr. Well, except for the groomer vibes she’s giving off.
I’m sure it’s gonna get depressing very soon, I hear all the characters suck and half of them are sexpests. Seems like you get a pretty decent understanding of why they suck though. I already dislike Shinji though, dude get in the fucking robot the world is ending. I guess sucking is hereditary, because his dad sucks too, fucking dumbass. Dude if your son is “the chosen one” when it comes to piloting these things and you’re all “I must sacrifice everything for the mission” then sacrifice some free time to be with your son so your top pilot is less psychologically messed up.
NERV is in dire need of a psych team though, insane that there isn’t a dedicated therapist to help the pilots deal with trauma.
Also it’s so beautiful! I miss old anime like this and Akira, everything just gets to breathe. It’s so pretty every frame is a painting. The women have noses and they look like women, which is also impressive. Sadly there’s still only one body type women can have, but at least they can look humanoid.
Anyway, bit idea: Guy who only watches Evangelion for the fights.
Edit: Okay so Shinji managed to make two friends and they get sent away. The dude needs a support network, how incompetent can his dad be? “Huh my best pilot is getting some friends? Can’t have that, we need him to be as mentally unstable as possible!”
Dude needs to be fired.
Double edit: Now on an episode where an EVA goes berserk and tries to attack the dad and he just stands there looking at it and then when it breaks thru to him he’s shocked. The guy is absolutely not beating “himbo, but not actually hot, just dumb” allegations
Tbh it seems like the world partially ended already - plus I don’t think shinji really gets the scope of the potential disaster right away. It’s not like NERV & Gendo are transparent about the stakes and their goals…
I was just being hyperbolic about the world ending, neat to hear that it’s already kinda gone. I just meant more in the sense of “there is a massive monster that we couldn’t even destroy with a mini -nuke and it is blowing up building left and right and you are the only one who can stop it so please do that before it breaks into our hiding place which is supposed to be The last hope of humanity, whoops there goes a skyscraper it really is almost here, oh you’re still not sure wether or not you feel like going in the robot? Oh okay, let’s wheel out the cripple then I guess.”
Don’t know how far into the series you are but from where you’ve mentioned watching to, without spoilers, I’ll say that as it goes on there are a good few silly bits, a constant undercurrent of creepy perv stuff, and many many more examples of why Gendo is a fuckhead lol. I don’t blame Shinji for finding him sus at all
Yeah I’m on episode 5 now and it starts with him looking at Rei’s EVA attacking the room he’s in, and when it breaks thru he’s surprised and doesn’t have time to run away. (Un)Luckily Rei manages to almost kill herself instead of grabbing him and yeeting him. He’s such a clown
