Asuka and Shinji cry and whine too much in the series. I want to hurt Asuka for crying a bit in episode 9 when Re was able to do better than her, crying a bit after the kiss scene. Being sad before she was about to go into Kaji's office in episode 17, crying when Shinji beat Zeruel in episode 20, crying curled up after her mindrape, yelling at Shinji for saying he's glad she's okay. And for running to Hikari dirt face's house to cry there. Asuka needs therapy, not Hikari dirt face, she needs to cry in front of a therapist, not Hikari! I want to hurt Hikari for acting paranoid and being sad when she thought Toji fat face had a love interest in Rei and for being sad when Toji was absent. That was just that one day, she should cheer up! I want to hurt Shinji and roll his turd butt into a ball and sing Good goes around while rolling him into bowling pins. I can have Asuka and Hikari in the ball too with him as I sing the song. All these characters need to be rolling in Katmari balls. I want to hurt Shinji for being in fetal position and crying throughout the whole series. Hikari dirt face shouldn't have even been in this series. She's just there. And she's too bossy. I read a milestone that say 14 year olds are giggly, optimistic, and enjoy life and that's what these kids should've been like. |

I doubt someone who's mother had died and has a shit relationship with his father while shouldering the responsibility of the fate of an entire city on his shoulders would be giggly and optimistic. I sure as hell wouldn't, especially not at that tender age. |

"Title" Maybe because the show revolves in parts around that? I'm also pretty sure those characters hurt themselves enough for not needing your help in this department. pinkarray said: 14 year olds are giggly, optimistic, and enjoy life and that's what these kids should've been like. Then there would be no show, I guess. @Clebardman Just to notify you the thread for later. |

I also don't care if they're in a giant robot getting hurt, they still need to get pushed into mud and get thrown at with food and stuff. Then, they should've just created a whole new show. |

Sorry if I'm bursting your bubble, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have had a perfectly safe and happy childhood. Depression is a widespread mental health issue that needs to be taken seriously and can most certainly hit young adolescents as well. |

They are emotionally weak and they should be joyful, cheerful, and enjoy life. Happiness is totally important and everyone needs to be happy and not depressed because happiness and laughter is healthy for you. |

But Evangelion is an anime that's not based on a true story so I say things about it I wouldn't say to a real person. |

Did everyone lie to me?? More seriously, pinkarray said: Depressed and sad people needs to get hit. They are emotionally weak and they should be joyful, cheerful, and enjoy life. Happiness is totally important and everyone needs to be happy and not depressed because happiness and laughter is healthy for you. You should really, really, REALLY watch the adventures of joyful optimistic little Shû in another world, Ima soku ni iru boku. I think you might be one of the rare persons intelligent enough to be able to appreciate what was done with this hero. @pinkarray Zut... That was the exact kind of hero you were advertising. (they're teenagers, but that's strange to watch Evangelion then xD) |

I do know that Anno was suicidally depressed when making evangelion and that all the characters are facets of his personality but that's how a writer writes. They may write stuff based on their moods and also write the characters as facets of their personalities. But all the characters in the anime are entirely fictional. They weren't based on real teenagers or adults. Sorry, Now and then here and there doesn't sound like my cup of tea. I don't like dramas about children and teenagers. |

I didn't know what I was getting myself into, I just thought it was going to be silly little cartoon about normal teens in giant robots. Boy was I wrong, I found it annoying and the characters unlikeable. I really hated it more after I got into 11th grade. And don't force people by gunpoint to watch something they don't want to watch. Let them be free to watch whatever they're comfortable with and don't get upset. |

@pinkarray Didn't force anything. I just pinpointed why I couldn't know that you were against stories of teenagers since this thread started because you watched Evangelion. And l wasn't forcing someone to watch the series: I only reacted to the wish you wrote before. Anyway, excuse me for those things. ^^'At léast, it was fun to read for me . @Maneki-Mew I wasn't lying and sorry for spoiling you a part of the discovery. The hero was "fitting" well in the story, in the sense he was supposed to be our contemporary japanese boy implanted into a totally different world, filled with people wore down by it. (But maybe it"s due to my lack of intelligence: I loved Eva's TV finale.) I thought that this was exactly what our own whiny happy-go-lucky protagonist wanted. Someone at least a bit like him who wouldn't be "in phase" with the overall behaviour and try to apply his quiet life/world "rules" to this fictional other world. About Eva, have a good watch. PS: Amuro was a mecha war child suffering from his condition in 79 already. And he became excessively popular in Japan (although less than his respective "villain"). This allergic reaction pandemy in MAL (against Amuro Rei, ? Sakai Noriko, Hikari Shinji... I'm sure even the relatively consenting hero of Venus Wars would be rejected) must be something very post-90s West kids. PPS: you shouldn't have answered ;) |

Okay, I'm watching Evangelion right now (in 2017 lol) and wanted to look at the forum and... oh no, pls not again. :( Should I answer, shouldn't I? But... (OT Rei366 said: You should really, really, REALLY watch the adventures of joyful optimistic little Shû in another world, Ima soku ni iru boku. I think you might be one of the rare persons intelligent enough to be able to appreciate what was done with this hero. At first, I thought that would be sarcasm from your side. XD I'm suprised? I really am, because it's high on my PTW-list and I don't know what I expect, just not that. XD From your point of view: Did you think that his personality type felt "wrong" in such a place or was he a good protagonist? ) Tbh Evangelion is or / and was the favorite anime of my older sister, who is 10 years older than me. She tried to force me to watch it when I was like 10-12. All I have seen were mecha (and I don't like mecha) and depressed teenagers. I remember that my uncomprehending 10-12 y/o dumb self found them annoying af, because I also preferred the typical hero protagonist back then. (Tho I still like cinnamon rolls characters, if they are not too bland. x3) So, I was where pinkarray is, just not so... obsessed uhm and... without these special thoughts. I was like 12 tho. So, now I want to give it a proper try now and I love it ... and I absolutely love Shinji. Normally I have a resting bitch face at sad scenes, even if I'm dying inside, but now, I swear ... a few tears escaped for Shinji. XD I still don't like the mecha. I just made peace with them lol. @pinkarray Maybe this kind of anime is just not for you? If you are an "advocat" of "everyone has their own taste" yourself, pls understand that other people have a different approach of 1. writing, not everybody wants to write children's books (and there is nothing wrong with it!) and 2. watching, reading; having a different view and perspective on the world. So, others don't shy away from exploring the soul's abyss. ... and at that point I just try to ignore that things about "suicidal people must get hurt" and like that. O.o I think that was just a part of your mood. Then again, don't play the "I appreciate kind and 'saint-like' (whatever that means) people"-card, if you have opinions like that; it's definitely not kind to kick someone physically and mentally, who lies already on the ground. Back to topic: Btw I personally think that a very good protagonist / other MCs NEED to be frustrating sometimes / often, because they are not real otherwise. In a good way, not "I think it's so bland-Kirito-way" xD Tho I prefer somewhat likeable protagonists (epecially those likeable anti-heroes-type with a good core), they don't need to please you throughout the whole series. Please, don't come with that "but there are good and optimistic people" again, because... yes I know, but they also have in general a normal range of emotions, flaws and many problems on their own. Everyone has. A protagonist, who tries to do everything / is written only to please the audience is called a self-insert and if he doesn't struggle with it, it's a Gary Stue. So, you see Shinji and Asuka and many others there are more fleshed out human beings with a wider range of somewhat more believable emotions based on their psychological structure and age. Asuka isn't even supposed to be liked, to begin with... and I actually didn't LIKE her in a few scenes as a person, but I think she is good as a character. Btw I even don't "like" all humans in my environment 24/7, even if they are someone I love. Sounds contradictorily, but is a normal thing. Everyone has quirks and flaws and could get annoying and exhausting and there are like a million possibilities why human interaction could hurt and go very wrong. So, characters are a mirror of that. They are just more simplified versions from real humans, because you can't write them in their full complexity. AND it would appear as psychopathic af, if they "giggle and are happy", when they are stucked with that shit. XD It does more harm than good, when a character doesn't react in a psychological normal way. There are many possibilities how to react, BUT "I don't care, let's sing a song and be happy" isn't... unless it's written like a coping mechanism. That's, on the other hand, is a really good way to add depth. But the bland "the 14 y/o kids giggle and are still genuinely happy" appears like "wow, those characters really are psychopaths... or robots, I don't know." ^^" |

I know it's not kind to hit someone who is suicidal. But I still like very kind and saintly people. So then do you want them to not smile a whole lot but still not act emo and depressed? I was a giggly and genuinely happy 14 year old and I still am at 18. Maybe if these kids have gotten counselling, they probably wouldn't have been this emo, unlikeable, and depressed. All of these characters should've been the antagonist or villain for being unlikeable. Add in them changing over the course of the series to become more kinder and more selfless, that would be a plus. That all is how you write a good unlikeable character. They don't need to be a goody-goody because goody-goody characters aren't interesting. I just want a likeable character who isn't a tsundere, emo, crybaby, depressed, angsty character and especially kid. |

Sounds like a big psychopath, right? It doesn't sound like a pyschopath but more like weird. I didn't say traumas never affect people, traumas can stay with people. Like I have suffered through trauma before when I was 7 and I used to act like a terror because of it. But 5 years later, I decided to be a more carefree, happy, and nicer person to others when I was nearing my 13th birthday. Though, I still exhibit bad behaviors from the trauma like with watching movies or series and even in real life on occasion. Though, in real life and when I'm talking to real people, I am a sweet person. The characters in Evangelion have had traumas that happened 10-14 years ago and I can't like them because they still haven't changed from their traumas like I have. They still want to be selfish little brats who don't know how to be more kinder to people and part of that was because they didn't get therapy whereas I have gotten therapy over the years and I still do. They should've gotten therapy right after their traumas happened to prevent them from being the emo, depressed people they would become later in life and prevent them from acting as selfish as a result of the trauma.

I don't know what you mean by put myself in other peoples' head, I assume put myself in other peoples' shoes? Well, they need to learn not to take everything so harshly and not let everything affect them. I wasn't like that when I was their age. I just thought life was fun and made it fun. And I still do. Maneki-Mew said: Srsly, I can't take you serious for calling suffering kids antagonists or even VILLAINS. lol ='D Character development could "go wrong" and their mental state could get worse throughout a story. These characters are their own worst enemy and they're written as unlikeable characters. Unlikeable characters should've been the villain/antagonist. I wish that they were more likeable and develop into a nicer person. I've seen good characters who were the villains get redemption and they become more nicer people. These characters don't even change from the selfish brats they were initally were, they're still the same emo depressed people before. They should've changed and grew into being a true good guy. Not act like the bad guy and become worse. If they were already the good guy, then they may change into darker people. But since they're unlikeable, they should've changed to become a better person.

pinkarray said: It doesn't sound like a pyschopath but more like weird. I didn't say traumas never affect people, traumas can stay with people. Like I have suffered through trauma before when I was 7 and I used to act like a terror because of it. But 5 years later, I decided to be a more carefree, happy, and nicer person to others when I was nearing my 13th birthday. Though, I still exhibit bad behaviors from the trauma like with watching movies or series and even in real life on occasion. Though, in real life and when I'm talking to real people, I am a sweet person. The characters in Evangelion have had traumas that happened 10-14 years ago and I can't like them because they still haven't changed from their traumas like I have. They still want to be selfish little brats who don't know how to be more kinder to people and part of that was because they didn't get therapy whereas I have gotten therapy over the years and I still do. They should've gotten therapy right after their traumas happened to prevent them from being the emo, depressed people they would become later in life and prevent them from acting as selfish as a result of the trauma. Well okay, that's really good for you. But his father is still very awful and being involved in a bigger battle and all that shit is still traumatizing. It seems so easy to fight and to kill in many other anime. Tho I have the feeling that this changes now a little bit and more characters, even in action and Shounen, hesitate and the process itself doesn't seem so easy. Surprise, it's not funny to pilote something like a war machine. They are more like child soldiers. Not emos.

Well, I don't know Eren since I haven't seen much of Attack on Titan but I just can't stand characters who are supposed to be the good guys but have so many flaws that stop them from being likeable. Evangelion is an overdramatic, melodramatic anime about a bunch of kids angsting all the time. They need to just toughen up, stop letting everything upset them, and become kinder people. I'd love to see child soldiers like Link from Zelda or the kids from Splatoon for example who don't angst, cry, or whine. The children need to learn more about how to control their hormones, feelings, and shadow sides. They are emo because they make a big deal out of everything, they're crybabies, they whine a lot, they angst a lot, break down, go insane, and they don't take the time to have fun in life and that's what an emo person does. I'm sorry I got impatient and you said that you didn't want to take me seriously, so I thought you just would ignore me. but you keep saying that every human being is an evil person but that's not true. I know some people who are sweethearts and angels and that's part of the reason why I thought you had a dark worldview. |

@pinkarray No problem, but I think the discussion goes always in a circle. but you keep saying that every human being is an evil person but that's not true No wait, I haven't said that. In fact I said... I remember that my uncomprehending 10-12 y/o dumb self found them annoying af, because I also preferred the typical hero protagonist back then. (Tho I still like cinnamon rolls characters, if they are not too bland. x3) and... Tho I prefer somewhat likeable protagonists (epecially those likeable anti-heroes-type with a good core), they don't need to please you throughout the whole series. What's so "dark" about that? But it's true, on the other hand, when you get in an emotionally crashing situation, every human COULD become a murderer under the "right" circumstances. Tho that doesn't make everyone an evil person, not even those, who act under special circumstances like that. Also everyone could become depressed or an addict at one point. You could never know what will happen in your life. A normal life span could be very long. (For example, a prof in high school had a son, who was raped at a date and commited suicide after one or two years after that. I just know that she got addicted to tranquilizers and don't know what happened after that to her, because she went away, I think. People really liked her, but she never was the same person since that. You can't say that people just should deal with things.) To the other thing: of course, teenagers learn and can control their hormones. I mean, it's not like Shinji for example sleeps around with every girl there. He has a genuinely big crush on Asuka and if someone isn't asexual, a crush is always driven by sexual forces as well. Of course there is also Rei, but it's also kinda believable imo. And Asuka doesn't want to admit the same thing on her side. It's a dumb situation, but humans are just that way... and especially kids are that way. It's scary to confess and to get into something more etc... and many adults aren't so much better either. |

I'm talking about our prior conversations. Maneki-Mew said: About "cursing, violence and sex", I just can repeat what I was saying about anime: Some plots need it and many sex scenes do something for the movie like the development of a relationship or to show a specific thing. Some movies are using too much cursing and violence to appear ... edgy, but a movie for adult people needs a certain level of realism and so, the audiences waits for a (semi-)realistic conflict. Reality can be very cruel and there is a saying that you don't need to believe in a supernatural source of the devil, because humans are capable of all evil things Yes, they CAN, but they don't must... btw nobody older than 5 is still "pure". I don't get it. I see that your viewpoint is more realistic but it seems like you say that every human is evil and less than pure? I know some people who are older than 5 who are still beautiful cinnamon rolls. I know that there are some humans that are evil and some people who are bratty out in this world, but there are also a lot of nice people that I met. |

@pinkarray I think you misunderstan what I wanted to say. ^^ I don't get it. I see that your viewpoint is more realistic but it seems like you say that every human is evil and less than pure? I know some people who are older than 5 who are still beautiful cinnamon rolls. I know that there are some humans that are evil and some people who are bratty out in this world, but there are also a lot of nice people that I met. Not being pure doesn't mean that you can't have many good sides and be a nice person at the same time. And being bratty also doesn't mean that you can't be a nice person in other ways to other people. Sometimes you just meet someone in a wrong situation and they had a bad day or some other problems are running through their head and that's why they might come off as unwelcoming. I, personally, like also anti-heroes with good sides to explore. They are just interesting imo. Btw I also don't LIKE too bratty characters aka: they are really not my favorites. For example: I really disliked Korra from The Legend of Korra, just because I wasn't excited about her whole character. My aversion began with the very first sentence: "I'm the Avatar and you're gonna deal with it!" and I thought: OH ... NO! XD (I liked all the side characters in both series more than the Avatar him/herself. Both of them lol) That doesn't mean I don't understand her problems in later seasons and can't feel for her and what she is going through / drives her. And that doesn't mean that I don't grant her the ending. And so is Asuka really not my favorite character type or a person I want to hang out with in general, but that doesn't matter to me. ^^" Not everyone must become your favorite. |

That was just that one day, she should cheer up! I want to hurt Shinji and roll his turd butt into a ball and sing Good goes around while rolling him into bowling pins. I can have Asuka and Hikari in the ball too with him as I sing the song. All these characters need to be rolling in Katmari balls. I want to hurt Shinji for being in fetal position and crying throughout the whole series. pinkarray said: The ones that tried killing themselves need to get hurt. I also don't care if they're in a giant robot getting hurt, they still need to get pushed into mud and get thrown at with food and stuff. pinkarray said: I am 18 years old. I just don't act like one.

Just because Link doesn't talk doesn't mean he has no personality. I can tell his personality just by looking at his actions and his silent dialogue that you choose for his character. Video game characters can have personality, too. Usually Link is very helpful, he almost never cries and warriors are like that, humble and courageous. I've only played some Zelda games, Ocarina of time, Majora's Mask, A Link to the Past, Breath of the Wild, and some game that was on the 3ds, I think it was a demo of Tri-force heroes. but I heard that Link is more expressive in games like Wind Waker. Video game characters can be whiny, angsty crybabies too. Any character, whether in a video game, a book, or a movie would be boring if they are just robots who don't have their own personality. |

XD Hardened, maybe angry, good at fighting, maybe numb because of the things, which led to the war and because of the battlefield itself. I know that there is the white-knight-stereotype, but they aren't my very first association. ^^" Link agrees with everything and helps everywhere, because you should explore the world around him. The story wouldn't progress otherwise. He does these things and is interacting so much, because the player says: "Agree that you want to help that guy. That will give me a new quest / item ... and a horse.. / is important for the storyline." Every mute video game character ever is just a big, big Gary Stue in the end, when you finally collected all the weapons etc. and the protagonist of a video game is the only person that REALLY matters, because you should finish a quest by yourself and not a side-kick. XD Btw, it's not nice to break in open houses, steal their belongings and break vases... and abuse chickens! XD (joke, please don't take it serious) Link just got a very beloved character, because Zelda has a status as a classic video game and some people like me also like his design plus his weapons. His name is literally Link; for a link between worlds AND for a link between you and the world in the game. But eh yes, he is like a robot. And so are others. Games like Pokemon with Red and Golden Sun make even fun of their own mute and characterless protagonists lol. Would prefer a "crybaby" anytime. ^^" not for a video game character. Tbh, I don't care for my character, because they are like an avatar for the player. I would prefer "crybabies" in stories, where their protagonists matters as a person, anytime. Anime characters don't function that way, unless their name is Son Goku or Kirito XD ... or someone like Sorey. But Sorey from Tales of Zestiria was also a video game character. He is like the cutest bland MC ever lol. EDIT: Can I ask you something? I'm genuinely curious. Why did you rate Mononoke Hime so incredibly high compared to your mean score? I mean, San is like the grumpiest heroine from Ghibli ever and she is full of hatred. She is so full of hatred; even after the events she can't be with Ashitaka (a human man in general), because she can't forget and I bet she can't forgive either. Ashitaka is a good guy, but not your too shining hero either and you definitely can't say that of others as well. Also it's kind of "gory'? --- @Rei366 Well, I've never heard a similar opinion like @pinkarray before, so it's kind of interesting to hear it imo (without the violence fantasies lol) |

I don't think mute video game characters are Gary Sues unless they don't have any flaws but Link to me isn't a Gary Sue. He takes risks, he sleeps a lot, he has a quiet nature, he doesn't usually show emotion and in the newest game, his dialogue choices could even be stubborn and outspoken. He's a totally nice person and some characters who are totally nice could end up being slightly saccharine, but Link isn't. He's got more than a few flaws to keep him from being a goody-goody. About Princess Mononoke, I believe I have always liked Princess Mononoke, though I do remember an annoying woman shouting a lot at people in it so I don't like her but I don't know if it was San. It may have been Eboshi or something. I don't know if I still love it or not, I may have got bored with it but I don't really remember. |

Well, that's your interpretation and I won't argue against a personal interpretation, when everyone made their point of view clear. ^^ Tho I was talking about being overpowered af. About Princess Mononoke, I believe I have always liked Princess Mononoke, though I do remember an annoying woman shouting a lot at people in it so I don't like her but I don't know if it was San. It may have been Eboshi or something. I don't know if I still love it or not, I may have got bored with it but I don't really remember. San is the title and cover character herself. ^^ Eboshi wasn't evil either. She was "just" trying to protect her village. |

Angry_Anime_Nerd said: Maneki-Mew said: It' crazy, because the traumatic situations wouldn't affect them. Imagine a child in a war, who gives a fuck of what's going on around him ... and not, because it got numb and can't deal with it anymore. Just because the kid gives a fuck and is still happy. Sounds like a big psychopath, right? It doesn't sound like a pyschopath but more like weird. I didn't say traumas never affect people, traumas can stay with people. Like I have suffered through trauma before when I was 7 and I used to act like a terror because of it. But 5 years later, I decided to be a more carefree, happy, and nicer person to others when I was nearing my 13th birthday. Though, I still exhibit bad behaviors from the trauma like with watching movies or series and even in real life on occasion. Though, in real life and when I'm talking to real people, I am a sweet person. The characters in Evangelion have had traumas that happened 10-14 years ago and I can't like them because they still haven't changed from their traumas like I have. They still want to be selfish little brats who don't know how to be more kinder to people and part of that was because they didn't get therapy whereas I have gotten therapy over the years and I still do. They should've gotten therapy right after their traumas happened to prevent them from being the emo, depressed people they would become later in life and prevent them from acting as selfish as a result of the trauma. Maneki-Mew said: It's not about what you want to do. And maybe you lack of the skill to put yourself in other people's head and understand that others aren't that lucky? If you have problems with that, it's mostly not your fault, but you could refrain from judging everyone and everything, because you don't understand. I don't know what you mean by put myself in other peoples' head, I assume put myself in other peoples' shoes? Well, they need to learn not to take everything so harshly and not let everything affect them. I wasn't like that when I was their age. I just thought life was fun and made it fun. And I still do. Maneki-Mew said: Srsly, I can't take you serious for calling suffering kids antagonists or even VILLAINS. lol ='D Character development could "go wrong" and their mental state could get worse throughout a story. These characters are their own worst enemy and they're written as unlikeable characters. Unlikeable characters should've been the villain/antagonist. I wish that they were more likeable and develop into a nicer person. I've seen good characters who were the villains get redemption and they become more nicer people. These characters don't even change from the selfish brats they were initally were, they're still the same emo depressed people before. They should've changed and grew into being a true good guy. Not act like the bad guy and become worse. If they were already the good guy, then they may change into darker people. But since they're unlikeable, they should've changed to become a better person. People can change from their mistakes. Maneki-Mew said: Is there anything you like in the world except Cowboy Bebop anyway? XD Here are some movies I like: https://letterboxd.com/purpleandred/list/not-quite-perfect-but-still-rewatchable-movies/ I do like a lot of things like music, reading L.M. Montgomery books, playing games etc. as said from my profile. You can check my list for some anime I like. ''I don't know what you mean by put myself in other peoples' head, I assume put myself in other peoples' shoes? Well, they need to learn not to take everything so harshly and not let everything affect them. I wasn't like that when I was their age. I just thought life was fun and made it fun. And I still do.'' true true to some extent, if you were really just carefree that age or had fun, didnt let failure get to you?... releate to the dissapointment asuka feels or shinji breakdown towards the end so when people watch it they resonate, thats what happend to me ''ohh this is like real life'',, so easy to say with the affecting stuff (i guess some people just shrugg off things dont let stuff affect them too much, ill give it to ya, and heck you say youve been through trauma, soo at the time it affected you right.. thats the point.) unless youve never taken something really seriously and failed to some extent thats part of the story, https://youtu.be/QdrX-tBze_g, and some people it just hits a nerve. yea asuka is, the way she whines is pretty crazy, (just stronger than shinji when she does, she externalizes her problems, while shinji is more internal and when he does externalize he kinda explode https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ag2AKCcbQLJRfD4w6GXVgF6KBd3rL2LU/view?usp=sharing, noo but i mean asuka too, https://youtu.be/CxabDngzPIc, except this shes way loud rest of the series, they not emo, well emo emo.. but they have intense issues with themselves, (what was it ep 25 or 26 they have a whole, lets talk it out, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYV9GKm5Y94 i mean the chars are depressed and just broken cause anno was depressed https://youtu.be/sK_2nfkZax8?t=2336, (their not supposed to be all happy and just fun, but their bits of it sure) on mal it says he was depressed on the synopsis, but on any other site it dosent, a difference i suppose) all the chars have issues with themselves ,and they spring form them trying to enjoy life (parts of the issues anyway) (they try to enjoy life when piloting the evas, the trio) (becasue its just not a ''fun'' type of anime, like many popular ones, but the chars are caught up in stuff happening and it just affects them, thats kind of the way, the last congratulations (if you feel in such and such a way etc) scene.) and the chars arent nice? well hard to be nice, when youre sad/depressed and when your really serious about something, the battle with the angels, but they couldve been their for ecahother, the chars yea, but the interactions many timesis, well why do humans hurt eachoter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79FcN2Ni7QA not excatly like this 100% but, so ofc if it happens alot then they will not communicate well.) (and in those friendships is strong, in eva they just dont make friends easily, could speculate well maybe if such and such happend, like they woudlve hung out more casual,(like you said, they should enjoy life more) but it just didnt happen much, probably cause the chars was too depressed, when they had okay mood they were too, focused on one thing, and/or scared to open up i guess the trio |

I've always thrived on being myself and focused a lot on hobbies like playing instruments or writing. I was never a person who took risks by breaking laws like most teens. I do have a temper and a lot of anxiety but I was mostly a cheerful, happy go lucky, playful teen who still wanted to be a kid. it doesent start out to great or too interesting compared to other anime. you want a happy type popular anime, or adventerous, watch One Piece, i dunno hunter x hunter, sailor moon lol. Thanks for the recommendations but One Piece looks too sad for me. I know it has comedy in it but also drama apparently too. Hunter x Hunter idk yet but I heard the main character is kinda a jerk (does he grow though?). I watched a few episodes of Sailor Moon and she annoyed the hell out of me with her whining and brattiness. |

They quite certainly are lol this show was made by someone that was (clinically) depressed and talks about depression, social isolation, self-loathing and escapism so yeah "I read a milestone that say 14 year olds are giggly, optimistic, and enjoy life and that's what these kids should've been like." Yeah, i press F on that one, and is really the first time i ever heard anyone saying that teenage years are the most optimistic and giggly like wat |

Yeah, i press F on that one, and is really the first time i ever heard anyone saying that teenage years are the most optimistic and giggly like wat Milestones aren't always right and I was pushing my own experiences onto this show. I had a pretty different life from most teens so never really struggled much with fitting in, dating, rebellion (like drugs and sneaking out kind of rebellion), identity crises, or strained parental relationships. The big problem I struggled with was anxiety which I still have to this day and was the reason for my past obsession with this show. These last few years, I realized that having anxiety made my teen years much harder to deal with than my childhood so yeah, definitely not the happiest time no matter how cheerful and carefree I was but I think I had it easier than most kids. |

(it isnt as much about ''fitting in''... well... i felt more i wanted to do my best at whatever (pick anything) and i guesss, just didnt feel good enough about myself, kind of feeling in stuff, (guess for many girls that is insane beaty standards or something, certain ways of being around or compared to other girls. i have no idea, im not a girl, so i cant say, but you hear stuff... so i dunno.) so stuff i guess got to me or broke me, when watching eva, it was like, someone finally got or understood my pain/frustration i felt most in life, at the time anyway. so asuka's breakdown really just got to me. lash out, yell, |

Well, I haven't seen Hunter x Hunter to judge but I may have different ideas from you on what a jerk is. Some people don't consider Miles Morales or Morty or maybe even Usagi a jerk but I do. Miles is a jerk to me because of his rebellion. Also tv tropes said his character development is that he becomes more hostile. I mean, does he grow, like does he learn from his mistakes and learns to control his temper or impulse more? I guess I would be a bit more understanding toward his character if he is sympathetic. Unlikeable characters need to be sympathetic in some way and have some kind of motive/reasoning behind their actions in order for the audience to care about them. But sometimes this doesn't work, like in the case of Evangelion, giving them a sad backstory does not excuse their actions. A lot of the times, they just seem to be plain selfish characters and it's hard to like characters who are motivated purely by their own egos. We also have different ideas on what melodrama is. One Piece looks like it could be too melodramatic for me. Into the Spiderverse, Gravity Falls's and Owl House's second seasons are too melodramatic for me even though they're balanced out with comedy. |

Into the Spiderverse, Gravity Falls's and Owl House's second seasons are too melodramatic for me even though they're balanced out with comedy. didnt really talk about their backstories though, you might eqate them acting the way they do cause of it, fair point, cause its probably part of it, (but i dont think... the chars feel, ohh this happend, therefore i will act like this. (only one is maybe gendou, hes cold, calulated, and bad stuff happend too him too) noo, it dont work that way, the chars act the way the act cause of trauma, and they cant help it, well, not everything, they are not excused, like sometimes with asuka i said, goddam why is she actling like that really... and shinji too, but its never just black and white i think (like they way people see eva, and at the time https://youtu.be/MZmCuowlXgw?t=751 though that was only a few people i guess) (and the depression aspect.. does it excuse it, no not 100% ofc, but its like iif youve been depressed, you can understand their behaviour or at least not feel too critical of it, but many do, ohh asuka a ''bitch'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImJmBuaBv_Q ohh shinji is ''whiny, stop crying! why is he complaining so much, etc, etc. he needs to tougen up, well he tries, https://youtu.be/-olCiqsOXqM but it takes a toll on him obviously, as it does with asuka.) but the classmates hang out once, toji and kensuke hang out with shinji, hikari and asuka hang out, so it does happen, but the main chars are just mostly focused on piloting the robot yea and some people see themselves in that, but the chars is, well yea i mean i dont really like them much either, they arent really you typical happy normal chars (and gon isnt a ''jerk'' well i mean, he's confident, but is that beiing a jerk, but i can see what you say, cause some of his manerism feel kind of, well thats a bit ''jerk-ey'' but to me he's just confident not completely a jerk lol. we agree to disagree i guess on that one. |
