I dropped Neon Genesis Evangelion
| >>240437 I am very salty. I guess you have attention span of a kid and can't appreciate deep metaphors and psychological battles happening in the background
| It was good at the time it came out, nowadays meh. The art is super comfy though. Shit ending is a total borefest
| It's a good anime. A bit overrated, probably. Markedly dated by today's standards. MC can be annoying as fuck sometimes.
| Though, you just probably watch it just to unlock the achievement. It's not like it has a jillion episodes like other overrated anime *cough*dbz*cough*aru*cough*toone*cough*piec*cough*
| >>241234 it's classic good anime. I don't know what to say. It looks good even on today's standards
| Depends on whether you have grown up from Naruto, sorry, Boruto or not yet. Took me a while to be able to appreciate it too.
| >>241179 sorry, what I meant to say here is that you should probably still watch it anyway for the achievement of watching a "classic" and critically-acclaimed anime. It's not like it's a long series either.
| It's shit anyways dropped it at ep1 rated it 2
| Watch the movies they're faster paced and have mari
| So what
| its a'ight
| You really should watch the rest so that you can watch End of Evangelion; love it or hate it, that movie is a masterpiece.
| The problem with classics (in anime and in general) is that newer shows end up ripping off and refining concepts that were pioneered by the classics. So you've seen things NGE did in a more polished fashion from other shows. The importance in watching shows like NGE is to appreciate the progress of story telling and directing in anime. The other important reason to watch NGE is for Rei.
| >>26e3d6 I agree but I think that you can still apperciate it outside of it being an artefact of anime. There's a slower pace that's more akin to regular good movies.
May of been for budgetary reasons, but it works. I agree that ano has a weird way of looking at it now, shitting on it profusely. But I that probably has more to do with his mindset at the time.
| If you just keep watching one more episode, the show changes drastically with the introduction of Asuka.
| Tbh shinji ain't that big of a bitch I mean people just don't like the fact that it's a realistic character. If I was 14 I would have bailed after shitting my pants on that situation tbh. I think it's more of a surprise that he didn't run away and kept coming back to pilot and have traumatizing experiences lmao.
| Evangelion sucks
| First to lines of the opening are my favorite part in it.
| I found it so weird cus they went from cool cyborg mecha fighting to weird psychological bullshit(there were entire episodes fill of mental breakdowns) then it got confusing what was even real for a while. Then the ending that felt like it came out of nowhere but was someone hinted to the whole time.And the ending was so weird also like it's sooooooo deep, metaphorical and philosophical. Then you have your main qns of why tf shinji did what he did in the end.
| >>244510 overall pretty good anime just sooooo freakin deep(and it is probably very boring for some people cus some episodes are literally just full of themselves talking to themselves).actually really surprised that this got so famous and people could appreciate something as metaphorical as this.
| OP here. It sounds like most people watch it just to revel in nostalgia. I normally find it difficult to appreciate classic Anime in the first place, as the themes tend to be rather oversimplified shonenshit. Evangelion would have been better if its characters weren't shit.
The only classic I like so far is Serial Experiments Lain. I love Lain.
| all mainstream amine is trash
| Is JoJo mainstream?
| Кукусики
| Just watch it already, fuckers. It's an old anime. Of course it's gonna be shit compared to newer anime. That's because humans continue to advance the state of the art (not just for anime but for all the things). Same goes for old movies, old TV series, old music. Humans just get better and better, so you have to lower your expectations and put yourself in the right perspective when viewing/watching/listening to old stuff.
| >Urge people to watch
>Get angry when they drop it
>People forced themselves to watch it and ended up disliking the show
>HOW DARE YOU!!!! <insert insult here>
| Case in point:
| In the early 1930s Alfred Cortot was one of the best-known classical musicians in the world, and his recordings of Chopin’s “24 Études” were considered the definitive interpretation.
| Today teachers offer those same performances—sloppy and marred by missed notes—as an example of how not to play Chopin, with critics complaining about Cortot’s careless technique, and any professional pianist is expected to be able to perform the études with far greater technical skill and élan than Cortot.
| Indeed, Anthony Tommasini, the music critic at The New York Times, once commented that musical ability has increased so much since Cortot’s time that Cortot would probably not be admitted to Juilliard now.

| I dropped it after 6 episodes, because it bored the hell out of me and it felt like the entire thing was written by q sociopath. How salty are you, g/u/rls?
