On My Hatred Of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Anime Relations:
Shinseiki Evangelion
This anime is vile.
If sin exists, then this is its embodiment.
Why do I feel so strongly about this anime? It is, frankly, because I was tricked. I was tricked by those of you who recommended this anime, by those of you screaming your blind fanboy shouts and by those of you who chose to conform into the system of Evangelion fanboys/girls.
I know a person who hasn't even watched the series, only the rebuild movies, and yet he claims this is such an amazing work, which played a large factor into my choosing to watch this anime, along with the rest of you idiots.
And while we're here, let me just point something out to you right now, you blind lemmings - I am not speaking of the shitty rebuild movies of your shitty anime. I will never review those movies, because I will never watch them. Ever. I am speaking of the shitty 26 episode piece of shitty shit that is Neon Genesis Evangelion - the shit (series).
I'm going to target something that really annoys me- well, annoys me slightly more than the rest of the series: The characters.
Why do you people say that the characters are so amazing? Because they aren't. They suck.
The main character is a whiny little regressive bitch- the main 'goal', the target symbol for his character is his fist, and of course, Eva. Clearly, his inability to clench his fist implies a sort of shallow identity crisis, and Eva enables him to retain some form of identity as he would obviously need to clench his fist to pilot the damn thing. When he finally manages to clench his fist, that's supposed to show his new found resolve to stand up for himself, for his own identity, and to show that he is not a tool, to show that he is willing to row row fight the powah.
So what's the problem here? It sounds great, right? 2deep? Fucking wrong. Anything can sound great at the inception. Any premise can sound fine.
Oh, a magic sky man sent his son down to die for us for the sin that the magic sky man created in the first place, and the church is here to help us find our way to this magic sky man, so long as we give money to it (because lol, the poor will be rich in heaven, right?) ?
Oh, we should stand up for our faith by crashing a fucking plane into a building to show our resolve, and show that we are willing to fight the powah?
Okay, that first one was me ranting on a different subject, but that second one clearly had a clear theme running from it and Evangelion. But guess what? That resolve ended up killing thousands, and more importantly, wasted approximately 500 minutes of my life.
And just a note here, I am not disapproving of the row row fight the powah movement, I just fucking hate it when you try to do it without a drill that pierces the heavens.
Anyway, there is literally zero character development for the main fucking character from episodes 1-25 (hence 500 minutes for the slower ones out there, which I will assume will be most of the fanboys). At one point, he manages to clench his fist (outside of Eva), but then he relapses into not being able to clench his damn fist for no bloody reason what so ever.
His shitty resolve, his shitty symbol, him taking the need for Eva as a symbol for his identity away and standing up for his own self by clenching his fist was shattered that easily? Seriously? And they expected us to be wowed by this annoyingly pathetic 5.6792 seconds of bravery, then have him relapse into the pathetic little shit that he was before, for a full 25 fucking episodes before he clenches his shitty fist again?
What the HELL is that? This retard is supposed to be the main character, right!? Do I even need to talk about the other characters when the main one is this poorly 'developed'?
I'm not even going to go into the retarded episodes which involved blatant fanservice (if you can even call it that, since fanservice is supposed to be enjoyable), where he has random little mental breakdowns for the entire fucking episode, because I know every fucking one of you skipped some of that.
But this brings me to something else- the episodes themselves.They were mildly entertaining (not the fucking characters, the episodic story garbage), but they got old, fast. I'm sure you noticed the patterns, even if you are going to be willfully ignorant in public: problem find, solving problem, something totally "unexpected" (angel attack.) happens, Evas rape angel, the end.
Occasionally, there may be some variation in between the totally "unexpected" step and the Eva rape step, but here's the thing: That general story line (problem, problem solving the problem, problem solved) isn't that annoying. I'm guessing plenty of anime have used it before. In fact, that's pretty much the only general story line out there. But you know what is annoying? Repeating that general process, for a full 14 fucking episodes, straight, with very little attempt at any variation in the episodes. And that is essentially the first half of Neon Genesis Evangelion. 14 episodes of bullshit. The second half, is comprised of, as mentioned earlier, those retarded mental breakdowns, scattered with a few of that general process. In otherwords, bullshit supplemented with giga-bullshit.
I simply cannot understand how anyone can honestly say to themselves that Neon Genesis Evangelion is even remotely passable as an anime. It doesn't matter if it was "unique", or if it "unorthodox" for its time. It fucking sucked. That's the point, and it is a point made clear by the series itself. It presented fun ideas, made poor use of them, and sucked.
A question that might be asked here is that, even if it sucked so hard, there's no reason to really hate it, right? Well, that's actually half right. I don't just hate Neon Genesis Evangelion. I hate you. I hate those of you who have conformed to the idiocy that is the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise and have attempted to indoctrinate the rest of us and waste HOURS of our lives. But really, the main point is, GIVE ME BACK MY 500+ MINUTES OF MY LIFE.
