29-year old women are milfs now?

Damn, I'm getting old.

Well, the youngest recorded mother was 5 years old, so yeah. Though, most people would hesitate to admit liking to fuck her until she was much older.

Oh dear, I think we might've gone too far in a few places.

Should probably change subject to something less disturbing...

Full Metal Genesis

He is a bit of a bamf when you think about it.

Are you trying to make a metapoint about both the similarities and differences of anime and how they have the same basic backstories but different reactions to each situation or am i thinking too hard?

On the other notes, the contrast works but as evident from the question, I was thinking too much to laugh.

Just admit you like NGE already Grey. Nobody makes this many strips about a single show they don't like.

Not that this stops this strip being 100% accurate. There is a strong argument for Shinji's attitude as being justified, but not so much when compared to a lot of other characters.

Both Ed and Al had a goal throughout the series though. Shinji doesn't have such a goal to keep him stable.

Alphonse was easily one of my favourite characters from FMA.

I thought Grey was a fan, and that was why he has so many of these done.

Anyway, Bamf?

Spoiler: Isn't that a hitting sound effect from the Adam West Batman show?

One big BAMF! Coming down!

 

[TiberiusEsuriens]

I've had people tell me FMA wasn't good anime because it was "too westernized." Ha.

Also, Elric brothers are kick-ass.

I've been wanting to see Neon genesis since everyone says that it is very good. However, from what I have seen of it is that it show cases the very worst stereo types of anime, (Weak main character, excessive fan service, all female characters clinging to the protagonist like flies around a turd, oh and that stupid thing anime does where the main character slips and land body first on a female touching her breasts looking embarrassed)

That's kind of the point. It's a deconstruction of these stereotypes. In context, most of the fanservice is disturbing, only occasionally played for humor. The trip and feel is pretty much the first of these, but it gets a lot weirder and more uncomfortable.

Gendo Ikari, best dad ever.

Shinji Ikari, only person to complain that he gets to pilot a giant robot and live with MILFsato.

Oh boy, here we go again. Let's see, he also has had various tragedies that we are lucky to never happen as stated in the comic: abandonment, low self-confidence, and extreme pain and agony to the point of wanting to die.

that giant robot, it will literally torture you as you fight because of the pain transmission, everytime an angel blast or rips a chunk of flesh off, you feel that agonizing pain and since the actual damage is not occurring on your body, it tend to cause a mental drain

as for the women, Misato has her own problems and as of Eva 3.0 kind of hates Shinji for third impact. Asuka is extremely closed off and pushes Shinji away so hard that he feels even greater abandonment. Rei is pretty much a empty shell that can be replaced over and over and that continual cycle of having someone you are close to die and come back with no memory of your experience together would have an effect.

I'm honestly tired of people who say that Shinji should stop whining. The pain he goes through and the timeframe he experienced them would crack many people in real life.

Age has no bearing on milf status. If you have a kid as a woman, you are a mother.

I don't know... Teen milf sound like a bit of a contridiction somehow.

[hudsonzero]

did a eva DVD boxset fall on your dog or something because almost every comic has been making fun of it for the past few months.
also to many words in the second panel.

 

[Leaper]

I felt the same, and watched. Now I hope I could unsee it, because it was that fucking horrible, and it also made not watch any anime at all, unless it has very good recommendations from sources that I respect.

 

[PunkRex]

They should both learn Cry-fu, its real easy but kinda stings.

Called it.

I'm very well aware of the actual implications of the show.

See, we have these things we do for comic effect.

You may of heard of them before, they're called jokes.

Really when your body is destroyed and you become soul attached thinly to a metal suit of Armor whose very existence is called into question, there really is no reason to not learn kung fu.

29-year old women are milfs now?

Maybe from the perspective of a 14 year-old.

Yeah, I guess I can see that - 19-year olds were already milfs to me when I was 14.

And now the word 'milf' will quickly loose what little meaning it had each time I say it.

 

[Mr. Q]

We all handle grief differently from one another. Some in rather bizarre ways, but at least they're handling it in a constructive manner. ^^;

 

[TheTygre]

I dunno if Alphonse is a shining example of what to do. I mean, he's got nobody that he really sees eye-to-eye with, so all his problems ring hollow. And I don't care how metal he acts, I think he's really a tin soldier at heart.

Still, better life lessons that Shinji got. All Shinji' mom taught was, "You are what you eat."

It's not real life. It's a pretentious anime show that likes to wax philosophical about subjects it barely understands using the most disgusting and annoying characters as possible.

Here the difference is that those events never actually happened and that these not actually real events have turned this boy into the biggest pussy and self centered egotist on earth rather than having him man up and fix shit in his life.

Guess what most people go through allot of shit, actually real shit and they get over it. They don't wallow in self pity. They don't jerk off on comatose women. They fix the problems rather than spending time feeling sorry for themselves for having those problems.

So please forgive me when I once again say. SACK UP SHINJI! Your problems are small potatoes compared to impending doom.

Alphonse's response is of course the opposite spectrum of the reaction in this comic but here at least there is something to explore. We could look into how people deal with problems by ignoring or distracting themselves from it.

What was the answer to Shinji's whining? He had to grow a pair of balls. No really, that is what the entire episode dealing with his insecurities was about. Sack the fuck up and stop feeling sorry for yourself. The solution within the fucking cannon is what everyone has been telling this shit stain to do for the entire series run, including all the re-releases.

So your point is what? Stop telling Shinji to sack up because the anime already has an entire episode of nothing but other characters telling him to do that?

This is more of an "anime-ism", if the Anime's primary characters are under 20 then most women over 20 are Big Titted Milfs... perhaps it's a creepy way of the pervier anime out there sexily compensating for age? I dunno... a lot of Anime have an unhealthy obsession with the whole Youth = Sexy thing...

Anyway... yeah... Full Metal Alchemist and FMA: Brotherhood are definitely two of my favorite anime series's, partially because most of the characters are so unconventional as far as anime tropes go (Elric Bro's are Intelligent as opposed to Stupid, Riza Hawkeye, Major Armstrong and Izumi Curtis are the best characters ever etc.).

In regards to the whole "Westernized" thing... they aren't wrong... FMA is intensely "Western" in its style, Armestris is basically an Alternate Germany with an intense amount of research put into the operation of its military dictatorship but I personally have endless respect for Hiromu Arakawa as a creator for the amount of work she put into building a convincing world for FMA.

As soon as I saw the title I just said to myself "oh noooooo"
