Cat Soup
i have not thought of cat soup in like 10 years
uh it's more linear than that but it's fucked up as hell

uff, misato in EoE
;_;
misato and asuka in eoe make the movie a legit tearjerker for me
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 April 2015 03:01 (nine years ago) link
Saw EoE, yes def a tearjerker of a movie! An amazing end to an amazing series! I want to note again how great the pacing to this show was from beginning to end. That flashback scene of Shinji building the castle and hanging out w his mom ;_; So sad to see Misato and Asuka die, what did Misato mean by "the rest"? Overall it was like normal Evangelion cranked up to 11, just OTT all over the place, great psychedelic mystic stuff at the end, etc. I liked the last two eps of the show but this does feel like a way more big important finale. I will watch Cat Soup next.

the literal implications of this line are pretty gross buuuuuuut a major them of this series is adults enacting trauma on children

for instance
talking about the show with someone just now i only now realized how deeply, deeply gross and horrible the gendo/rei relationship is

I... did not enjoy this, at least not as much as I thought I would. Problem is I'd have to watch it again to really understand why but it's mostly due to the complete lack of affinity I feel for Shinji. I know full why I should and feel weirdly guilty that I don't which makes me dislike him even more.
It would be cool to watch rewatch eva alongside Gurren Lagann; another Gainax anime with a Shinji clone protagonist that indulges and lampoons mecha tropeshttp://i25.tinypic.com/10ddumt.gif in relatively sharp contrast with Eva's mostly sombre deconstruction. Probably not as good but it's a ton of fun.
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link
kill la kill has a couple references also
it's hard for me to recommend eva to peeps even though it's my favorite anime -- it really doesn't try to reward the viewer like more recent shows, which is what i like about it. the last two episodes basically are like "fuck it"

OK so I have had nothing to do except apply for jobs lately and so of course I watched Rebuilds 1.0-3.0 (the final and fourth isn't out till later this year apparently?)
1.0 and 2.0 are fun and horrific and mostly familiar for series viewers, but 3.0 is soooooo fucking out there and ultra-depressive. Frequently very difficult to follow, which is commented on repeatedly in the movie itself. I have no idea how 4.0 could top it for bonkersness.

gah, i've gotta snag a copy of that
― Nhex, Thursday, 20 August 2015 02:17 (eight years ago) link
i still don't know how i feel about 3.0. first time i've ever felt ambivalent about anything to do with this show so the feeling's sort of novel in itself
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 August 2015 02:40 (eight years ago) link
would like to add to my initial response to this: misato came onto shinji like 2-3 times during the course of the actual series so "the rest" is definitely what you think it is. part of this is bc she's a frozen adolescent trauma baby like the rest of them.
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 August 2015 02:42 (eight years ago) link

Me neither really, except "loooool this was Japan's second-highest grossing movie of 2012"
― the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Thursday, 20 August 2015 06:14 (eight years ago) link
And also the fact that Anno has taken the most lavish production of this story and seems hellbent on making it the least palatable one yet, which is so...weirdly perfect?

fantastic piece. i rewatched 2.0 last weekend and was suddenly really frustrated by it, for the reasons that piece describes
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Sunday, 13 September 2015 05:19 (eight years ago) link
rewatching 3.0 tomorrow and lol I'm really excited to watch it without saying "wtf" every few minutes
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Sunday, 13 September 2015 05:46 (eight years ago) link
while mourning my lack of fresh Eva content I've spent most of today trying to find other anime series that I don't find intensely grating on one level or another - after a bunch of false starts, Masaaki Yuasa's stuff seems pretty solidly up my alley
xp lol I don't think I can rewatch that till...ever
― the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Sunday, 13 September 2015 05:48 (eight years ago) link
who am I kidding I will totally rewatch it when 4.0 comes out, this franchise is built on (and fosters) masochism
