People have been talking about it all day. Even YOU guys, even though that is generally okay since that's what you guys like. But yeah, suddenly people talking about NGE IRL is really weird.

I have the day off. Is this some kind of divine or infernal message to beckon me into watching it?

    I recommend neither watching it nor not watching it.  You decide for yourself.

    The plot is basically about a boy.  Who is faced with the prospect of growing up saving the world because he just has to.  He's not keen on it.  On the way, he is faced with the prospect of growing up meets various...ahem, interesting characters with various...ahem, interesting backstories.  And he doesn't want to grow up but circumstances metaphorically force him to the brink interacts with them, and lulz doesn't ensue.

    Setting details, symbolism, and even plot details have been debated for YEARS.  There have been flame wars, thesis-length essays, and even death threats over these topics.

    Oh, also, AWESOME soundtrack by Shiro Sagisu.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    "lulz doesn't ensue" is probably the most accurate description of NGE I've ever heard.

    I actually kinda lol...>_>

    IJBM: it's become fashionable of late to hate NGE out of principle. And I'm not normally one to say stuff like that, either.

    (Not referring to anyone here)

    Personally, I love NGE.

    I kinda want to watch it, if only because everyone else has watched it, and being familiar with it would probably be helpful in discussions about anime.  So... I'll probably get around to it sometime this summer, I guess.

    I once really loved NGE.

    Now I'm meh to it.  It's an interesting show.  it's got its flaws, including a ton of backstory and plot holes, which contribute to its ability to be discussed endlessly.

    OK. Juan's review of the show...Eh, I'll just link you to it.

    ...I just noticed how much my opinion of the show has changed over time.

    I feel like I should watch it sometime because it's so acclaimed and because it's an influential example of a genre I like, but I don't like depressing fiction in general so it'll be a while.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Personally, I wasn't really depressed by it. Not even know that I appreciate in an emotional level...which I didn't at first.

    That said, I can see how it can be emotionally touching. Especially as many characters are easy to emphatize with. I didn't though, but that's because it's kinda hard for me to emphatize with drawings. :P

    NGE is OK.

    I sympathized with Asuka and (by the end) Misato and empathized with Shinji.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    I kinda felt bad for Gendo. 

    And Noimporta: We all know you love Rahxephon already. Just pimp it and go.

    Well, this a thread about NGE. There's no point in derailing it.

    Its an alright show, but in my mind, it's considered "incomplete".

    Well, that was good while it lasted. 55 more minutes until the download completes, and I already know the main character dies.

    Actually, he doesn't really die. So don't worry about that.

    For certain terms of "die", anyway...
