I don't understand why people hate or ridicule Shinji. His reaction is completely normal.

starting my first rewatch, i love so much this show.
I missed you Shinji, my favorite.
it's wonderful seeing how many things make more sense when you rewatch the show, knowing what happens in the next episodes.

It is curious, although the giant robot seems to be humanity's last asset and although no political force really believed in it, it is surprising that the boy or anyone else who had reasons to synchronize with the robot, had not been thoroughly trained to fight. And yet, everything results in something unexpected (taking the boy on a danger area by 1 person, even if its the Captain)

And wow, he's about to die and everything. In any case, it is very interesting that you he can handle the robot without any type of physical link. The fact that there are 2 categories of drivers is interesting.

The boy's reaction is very well shown, from not wanting to do it, from not seeing any possibilities, until finally doing it, moved by the desire to protect someone weaker than him.

rewatching after more than a year. still pretty banger. the manipulation and all the red flags can be clearly seen. shinji is clearly the victim here and the adults are retards to expect so much from him.

even though i'm watching it for the second time i don;t remember more than 90% of the stuff so this is still going to be like the first time to some extent.

@BaronLukis i know how disconnected and random everything feels with no proper explanation for anything but you must continue watching. everything will (not) be clear soon.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

This anime is definitely a lot more different than I thought at first than any other anime. It really is special. All I can say for sure for now is that I love how natural everybody is acting, like it's just another day, like in that car saving scene at the start. They don't explain anything to the watcher, just let them wonder, understand and discover bit by bit themselves, which is an awesome approach in my opinion, really facilitates the burning will to see what could happen in the next episode.

Also that underground facility reminded me of the grown ups cities in Darling in the Franxx, i guess they got very much inspired by Evangelion, can't blame them though as it's a legendary anime.

P.S.: I really didn't expect that disclaimer at the end about more fan service being in the next episode, really sparked my interest about what could it possibly be, let's just hope they don't overdo it.

The vibe of this show is awesome. The random Crusifixs that Sachiel throw are awesome. NERV headquarters also is amazing, the design is so trippy I love it. Very unique anime!

I am a Shinji apologist, a 14-year old trusted to pilot an Eva without prior knowledge and debriefing. Moreover, his deadbeat dad ordering him to pilot Eva to fight an Angel...that's like sending your kid to death row. Regardless, his hesitance is NORMAL like dude, would you be willing to fight something unknown without any training or preparation? That's like normal human reaction...

PLUS SHINJI IS A MINOR? LIKE HE IS NOT AN ADULT YET, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT.
