Akilis93 said: First of all, "Show, dont tell" is real narrative technique that many directors use in their works so you're argument is flawed. Second, not everyone will understand everything. Some shows are specifically tailored for a specific audience. You need to be in a certain mood/mindset when consuming shows like Eva. It's very situation heavy since it purely works on emotion. Anno created Evangelion at his most vulnerable, depressed state and it shows in his work. The show oozes with despair, loneliness, and depression & that clicks with some people. Evangelion has neither good writing nor bad writing. That's what makes both pretentious and genius at the same time. Its how you perceive it in the end. Whether you think its garage or a masterpiece doesnt matter. Its a work of art in the end and that is what art is about.That is what bad writing is. Leaving a space for viewer is a good thing but to not explain a shit is just bad. |

Akilis93 said: That's what I said in my previous reply, but it's good to see we're on the same page here. I personally dont consider Evangelion to be the best written show even though it's one of my Favorites. I think its overhyped and over analyzed by many. what makes this show great is the presentation & the raw emotion of the characters. But in the end different strokes for different folks.KUGEKI-KEN said: Buddy it is art. All animation is art. And a matter of fact many people consider this a good show. Cry about it. I know they consider it a good show. different ppls different tastes. it doesnt hurt me they think its good but apparently it hurts you to see some ppl consider it bad. |
| Imagine having Attack on Trash, Dirt Note, Code GeAss or any of the Shit 3 in your favorites and calling EVA as confusing garbage |

| People will tell you to read and watch explanations which I did do and do kinda understand now, but a series shouldn’t require you to do that, it should explain it itself instead of relying on others to write articles and explain it to us. Some people even say you aren’t supposed to understand it which if that was the case then it would always be unsatisfying. I do like eva btw. |

| Please stop, I don’t want to see any more Dekugo😭 |
| a whole rollercoaster right there |
| Just watch the anime again, EVA is really simple and the fact so many people get confused by it make me question if they paid attention, all you need is explained in the series. |
| It's been ages since I last re-watched Eva so let's see: MOON_SENSEI said: Not really. Shinji and Asuka were the first ones to return from the LCL Sea since they both rejected the Human Instrumentalization Project. Other people who also rejected the project will eventually return as well.Also what was that ending? Did everyone die at the end except Shinji and Asuka? MOON_SENSEI said: I guess Shinji wasn't sure whether he actually returned from the LCL or not and shock made him want to test if the Asuka next to him was real.Why was he trying to kill her? MOON_SENSEI said: No because other people who also rejected the project will return just like Shinji and Asuka did. Though the symbolism of Shinji and Asuka as Adam and Eve was kinda cool.Will they have to repopulate earth now? |
| Yeah it's mad confusing. But I think the ending of the first season just made sense to me. |
