and l made so much effort into making that spoiler there, guess it was wasted by morrefule that pretty much bashed him alltogether altough my point is in it's own league, l leapt him flying with my spoiler and morre pounded him with the pic like a baseball bat hits a homerun ;]

I am quite new to Anime and I finished watching NGE last night... I really enjoyed it until the last two episodes, now I'm really confused. It probably didn't help that I was half falling asleep. I think I need to watch them again ... Maybe? $:-\$

Just watch the End of Evangelion next.
Well, rewatching those two wouldn't hurt as well, but watch the movie first.

that title is considered mature content, this means you need some maturity to apreciate the work put into this show.
I'd like to point out that you're telling this to a person with Naruto ava/sig.
So yeah.

This explains a lot.

you know, l dunno maybe hes now spamming shit about me on his "myspace" blog or something or is simply too embarrased to reply in his own thread for so long, but hes been rather quiet since his "Basic" comment.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #25 on:** October 16, 2009, 07:22:10 PM »

Maybe he's just busy rewatching it? xD

Havoc10K · « **Reply #26 on:** October 16, 2009, 07:25:10 PM »

naah, hes flaming me, l feel it in my milk breasts, oh wait, l'm a guy, gonna go ask my gf if she feels it too

jks aside, l hope hes rewatching because he really must've missed like 80% of the content.

I can't wait for all 4 of the new films to be out so I can marathon them.

NGE is a nice anime for thinking about what isn't made explicitly clear. I've read whole essays on small parts of the series. Its pretty fascinating.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #28 on:** October 16, 2009, 07:38:24 PM »

this show is great because it shows something really unusual, and it's basis for a lot of great other shows, even if the new great shows of this genre out do this one, it's still a gem in it's league.
this show will always remain on my MVAS list. among a few other shows.

Rebs · « **Reply #29 on:** October 16, 2009, 07:50:35 PM »

I also think I really need to rewatch the show, because I just dont get it. However, I have this problem: in the process of trying to better understand NGE I fear I will (at least) partialy lose sanity, which would defeat the point.

Aside from this I must praise it's unpriddictable story and above all, unpriddictable ending. It just leaves me cleuless...

Havoc10K · « **Reply #30 on:** October 16, 2009, 07:52:14 PM »

l watched it a few times before l understood it compleately, l think at least, every time l watch it l discover something new, as stated before by someone, this show is simply great.

Evangelion is in my top 3 anime series list, even today it can easily hold it's own against many of the current popular series though not animation wise but story and character wise it usually dominates. There are videos and articles that explain all the psychological content and reveal that all the religious symbolism is hollow I recommend these for those "stuck" in the series.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #32 on:** October 16, 2009, 08:42:49 PM »

l never read anything about this series at all, l came to my comclusions that were confirmed by the ppl that wrote many articles about it while chatting with them online and comparing our points of view, l preffer good old self investigation above checking things out from other sources, thats why l had to watch the show a few good times to uncover most and get to the rest by analizing everything piece by piece. to me thats the most enjoyable thing about my Anime watching, getting to everything on your own and then confirming if you are right or wrong and if so re-checking when wrong, this excercizes mind a lot.

NGE remains as my very close and loved show, MVAS = Most Valuable Anime Show list contains at the momment 7 titles among wich are S&W 1/2, Slayers, FSN, and a few other shows that are pure gems to me.

I'm with you here. That'll be the best way to watch them i beleive. I hate it when you have to wait and you are in the middle of the story, you forget little things that wind up important in the end

"best" is a vague word. Best in terms of what? number of fans? animation quality? storyline? I think it depends on who you ask. I just watched the first episode and I instantly disliked it. I've also joined a lot of anime forums and the impression I get is there's a stalemate in the tug-of-war between its fans and haters.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #35 on:** October 17, 2009, 11:31:42 AM »

it's like l said, you eighter hate it or love it, but you shouold watch it nonetheless

vuzedome · « **Reply #36 on:** October 17, 2009, 12:30:42 PM »

There was a vn for Evangelion, am I right?
My buddy keeps telling me that there is such a thing, but I'm just lazy to go digging for it.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #37 on:** October 17, 2009, 12:34:15 PM »

actually there are 2 VNs, one is normal, and the other is kinda ero from what l remember.

if l read it right a few years ago, Shinji scores ;]

but l have no idea if there is a translated version of any, since it PSX/PS2 anyways, and l have really no idea if it came out for PC, cuz l never checked ;]

I'm posting in this thread because I thought I saw "neo geo" in the subject and I was all like "what the hey?? samurai showdown? what's going on here.."

But then I realized it wasn't "geo", but "genesis" that I saw... So then I pictured Sega Genesis in my head and was all like "waaat??", while at the same time reading "..evangelion.." and involuntarily picturing a 16-bit Evangelion port on the Sega Genesis. By this point my brain is thinking "HOLY SHIT.. I wonder if that exists.."

So I shook my head and re-read the subject header. Ok.. why is evangelion considered to be the best anime? Hmmz.. If I had to sum it up, I'd say it has something close to the "Akira" factor. Aside from what actually makes it enjoyable to watch, it's a combination of mass popularity and personal nostalgia that has a lot to do with why it's canon to many otaku that NGE is "the best", or at least "one of the best". Out of the two, I think personal nostalgia plays more of a part. I'm talking about people who've formed a special bond with the series because it was the first (or one of the first) anime they were introduced to.

Oh, man.. I just remembered I never finishing watching Evangelion... I didn't watch the last four episodes... God dammit. I'm gonna have to marathon that show one of these days now. >____>;;

Anyways, that's why I think it's considered to be the best, or at least one of the best. What actually makes it a good show? I think it has a lot to do with huge-ass Evas fucking shit up. That was one of it's main draws for me, at least. ^___^;;

That being said, here's a 16-bit Asuka slide-show that was made for the SNES O___o (couldn't find anything for the Sega Genesis):

thats fanbased work not related to the real title. but l have to admit, my way of thinking is chaotic usually, but your process needs a bios update ;]
