oh no... if you ask me, this is one of the most powerful tools of the show. It visualized the breakdown of the human psyche by throwing emotion-charged words at us. Words like "rape" "abandon" "mother" "hate" "kill" "suicide" just showed how sick and twisted these characters were deep down inside. _________________

It really made me sad that the flashing words weren't translated. Having to turn on subtitles then go frame by frame just to see what all the kanji said was kind of a pain.
But it was a very effective technique, and very unique. I haven't seen it repeated as of yet, in fact. _________________ [IMG:403:130:3eda1eb6d9]http://www.anime-source.com/upload/uploadFiles/strykersig.jpg[/img:3eda1eb6d9] |

I think the characters being "sick and twisted" is mostly what makes the show interesting. You can actually relate this to the real world where there are real people as screwed up as Shinji and Asuka (although Misato also goes kinda crazy sometimes ^^). _________________ Reality is wrong.

Gah! I'm just going to refute everything you've just said and leave it at that!
No I'm not. Have you actually watched the full series? If you haven't, how can you possibly pass such a ludicrous judgement as that? Does intelligence automatically make it boring for you?
You're not just being 'controversial', are you? |

Ummm. Controversial? What do you mean by that? On a side note, this is more psychology than intelligence I think. (I don't really know ^^U) _________________ Reality is wrong.

i dunno man, evangelion is still pretty good in my opinion and probably in many others too 'cause it's just unique in it's own way.
but the only thing that makes me mad about it is how shinji is kinda stupid but oh well.
other then that, the eva's look pretty cool, i wish all mechs looked like eva's instead of gundams. |

Well if the other mechas all looked like Eva then it'd be boring. And should all look like Eva I hope they'd only look like it 'cause if they all operated that way they'd have a hard time finding the children to do the job not to mention we also need to consider the risks to the pilots ><. _________________ Reality is wrong.

There's a lot of hatred directed towards Shinji by fans (and non fans) of Evangelion. I feel sympathetic towards him, in spite of the stupid things he does or thinks. Sure, he's flawed, but you have to remember that he's just a fourteen year old boy. If you had to deal with everything he deals with at that age, would you be any less messed up?
Yeah, intelligence wasn't the right word. My bad. It's too easy to misconstrue. Maybe depth and complexity would have been better. No offence intended, I'm just a bit passionate when it comes to this anime.
I don't understand how you can call the characters boring, though. They're some of the most flawed and interesting characters going in anime. And if you just want guns and explosions, Evangelion has that too! I'll admit, it's a bit slow starting, though.
Out of interest, Ultimasome, what was the other anime that you watched and found boring? |

I agree.... I found him to be quite real which makes him more relatable. If he were the grand hero-type, the series wouldn't work. Instead, he's actually a normal kid. Face it, as much as we dream of becoming mecha and space pilots, if right now a bunch of guys in black suits came into your room and dragged you away to a secret underground base and told you that you had to fight monsters from space, you'd crap your pants.

This series is perfect for people studying psychology since the characters seem to behave exactly as expected of individuals of their particular backgrounds (well, I can't say much about Rei since she's... well... you know). But considering that Asuka's mother killed herself right in front of her daughter on the happiest day of her life, yeah, that would scar anyone for life... and thus gives us interesting material to witness how someone from that lifestyle grows as a teenager into a mature woman. _________________

Can't agree more with xenocrisis0153. He's totally got the series there. Many people complain that its too hard to understand or that the director is crazy, but I don't think so. I find it a pretty good and interesting series. _________________ Reality is wrong.
