Okay you know admittedly I had never thought of it that way before and I'll admit this did make me laugh. Being a fan of the show I had always thought of it as being a realistic look at how being thrown into that particular situation would look like. As for the downsides to your point just so they are noted, "The giant mech causes you physical pain in sometimes large quantities when it is damaged, it will also potentially drive you mentally insane while piloting it in certain situations if you are not careful, the first attractive woman is too old for you and has no sort of sexual attraction toward you, the second girl is suffering though her own set of emotional issues that could potentially be more pain to go through than it's worth to get with her in either a dating or sexual situation, the second girl is also exceptionally violent and condescending which is bound to get on your nerves, and the third girl while once again being attractive is almost disturbingly submissive, a clone of your mother, and it's unknown as to weather or not she is sexually interested in you or if the emotional interest in you is purely paternal." That all being said you still could be said to having a valid point. On a side note knowing that you messing up could "literally" end the world is a lot of pressure for a fourteen year old boy. Just noting that.
You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.Capitano Segnaposto said:
Anime is not a "genre".
Yup, that sums up NGE quite nicely actually.
EDIT: Okay guys, it's just making fun of the anime's outer most details. NGE is so goddamn straight faced with its jacked up story telling that anyone can lampoon it. Relax, it's just a matter of friendly mocking for the sake of comedic value!

you forgot "oh son, did I forgot to mansion, that giant robot just so happens to be (fragment of) your mom?"
From what I got (and having seen just the first page of the thread I know its been said already) then...
Shinji was left as orphan - his father never picking him again after his mother died. That's like, about as dick move as it gets
second, then daddy only really wants to use sonny boy by having him risk his life repeatedly - and doesn't ever really express any gratitude or respect for the kid for doing so
and the whole 'your mother was made into a giant mecha - and we also probably cloned her to pilot other giant mecha' deal just... no

No need - the comic did it just fine.rayen020 said:
Piloting a Giant Robot - awesome.
Piloting a giant Thing that causes the pilot to feel all the damage that it takes as if it was happening to the pilot's own body - horrible.
Also, Shinji's main issue is being scared of relationships... so three hot women, while awesome to the well adjusted soul, is also rather scary to Shinji himself.
Someone else pointed out that Japanese men are socially inhibited about pretty women - this is also true. So much so that it seems to be affecting the population of Japan. Badly.
I love the mechanical design in EVA.
And seeing the work WETA would've done for the live action version, makes me sad it did'nt come to be.

The EVA's are the only reason this series deserves to be mentioned.
Well....and Gendo is pretty epic though...
But the thing that always bugged me was the so called "hotness" of Asuka and Rei.
They are 14 years old.....o_o

Fuck you son, I want you to fight world shattering monsters in your mom's corpse. This undersexed woman is going to misinterpret all of your issues while your only friends beat up an berate you. Also there's this creepy chick who will mess with your trust. This isn't even close to the shit you'll be experiencing in the second cour.
Go for Rei. They order her in bulk :3
Lol, Grey is obviously making a joke. NGE is tons deeper than this and rife with multiple symbols/themes.
In other news, this anime is not for everyone. Some people will 'get it' and others won't. It's a matter of personal preference really; I'm pretty sure Anno knew what he was getting into before he went there.

/cough like gendo being the dad and shinji is the son /coughrayen020 said:
or that the robot is hooked up to your Nervous system so when it takes damage you feel pain.
Or that both of the hotties you're living with are attracted to the same person who happens to be a spy and is banging you're somewhat mentally damaged (I mean emotionally) guardian. Or that the "hottie" red head is also batshit crazy and wants to murder/fuck everyone.
Or the submissive hottie is actually a clone of your mother so they look alike.
Yeah i'd take that deal. Mentally damaged people are fun to watch.
Gendo is still a prick because he forgot to mention that all of those hot chicks are crazy, in one way or another.
