Asuka is German

Rei > Asuka

Best girl is Misato.

I like my women real and of legal age. Misato fits at least half that criteria.

>Rei more popular in Japan

Source? I'm a westoid and I found Rei more appealing because of her mysterious aura and autism.

>>280080958 (OP)
We've been through it many times

>>280080958 (OP)
Rei's lifelessness/emotionless invites the Japanese otaku to project onto her much more than Asuka. I think much of what Anno and the writing crew was attempting with Rei fell completely flat on the Japanese audience.

>>280081663
The spacing is for those of you who have a hard time reading. I did you a favor as it's obvious you do.

>>280081728
>they can't handle strong women such as Asuka and Misato
Rei slapped Shinji and got groomed by Gendo, it feels unfair to call her weak just because she's not constantly shrieking like Asuka and Misato.

>>280080958 (OP)
Rei won't put up a fight if you try to rape her, Asuka will do the raping.

>>280081768
True

Japs have bad taste

>>280080958 (OP)
Asuka is objectively, the more interesting character, as her and Shinji have the same problems, but the way the try to handle them is completely opposite, as one is male, other is female. Eva also explores the theme of the relationship between man and woman through Asuka and Shinji. Also, the three eva pilots Rei/Shinji/Asuka represent the freudian constructs of id/ego/superego. Rei (the id) is the instinctual drive, emotionless, obedient, and identity-less. This also makes her less interesting than Shinji/Asuka.

>>280081768
Keep in mind Gendo is actively molesting Rei 2/3 throughout the run of NGE.

>>280080958 (OP)
I refuse to believe anyone actually likes Asuka

Rei is for mature guys who want wife to love and spend their whole life with, Asuka is for manchildren who need constant teenage excitement.

>>280081831
Asuka saved that boring slop of an anime

>>280081813
>her and Shinji have the same problems
No they don't unless you want to reduce their problems to: "me feels lonely"
>but the way the try to handle them is completely opposite, as one is male, other is female
Maybe in a bizarro world because Asuka is the one that acts like an overcompensating, rude, hostile competitive man while Shinji skulks in his dark room and cries while listening to sad music like a little bitch.

It boils down to Freedom and Wisdom:

More strongly valued by Easterners, and more strongly embodied by Rei.

>>280081983
>>280082149
literally the entire show is about people with mommy/daddy complexes or the ones causing them. almost every single character.

also all 3 are the kind of women that ruins your life.

>>280083077
If you can't see how uniquely similar Asuka and Shinji are to each other in comparison to the rest of the cast, you genuinely are retarded.

>>280081325
Interestingly enough, Asuka is more typically American than typically German. A lot of German girls are more like Rei.

>>280081603
You like Misato because you're a cowardly moralfag; I like Misato because I find MisaShin to be a hot pairing (specifically BECAUSE of the age gap). We are not the same.

>>280092593
Honestly, I don't think so. That might just be my headcanon. But that's what I choose to believe: she's half-Jap, half-German. Why else would her father be in America? America has a long history of taking in brilliant German scientists for developing weapons of mass destruction and landing on the moon and all that.

it's never stated that her father was a scientist

Well then I don't know why a brilliant German-Jap scientist would fly to America and fall in love with a random American guy off the street if he wasn't. She might have been stationed there as part of the US branch of NERV, but what made her decide to mother a child with him? I'd just assume he's an American scientist working in the NERV branch.

Apparently impulsive spoiled crybabies are strong women according to Anno

>>280081742
Anno told Yoshiyuki Sadamoto to make Rei look like she doesn't take care of herself and is messy.
And they gave her red eyes and a light hair color to make her creepy, but they didn't realize that having an unnatural hair and eye color doesn't stick out in animation.

These two characters literally despise each other

>>280101559
Asuka hates Rei, that's true, but Rei's strongest feeling towards Asuka is annoyance.

>>280101641
Asuka actually tries to accommodate Rei multiple times, most notably by changing the steak dinner promised by Misato to a meal at a noodle stand
Rei, on the other hand, seems to dislike Asuka much more than the other way around

>>280101416
That's why a seething retard would say and posts.

>>280101772
>I hate the color red
Rei just hates the color red because of blood. She doesn't hate Asuka really. She even tried to help her during the elevator scene.

>>280100575
Anno clarified after 3.0+1.0's release that they were not romantically involved, same for Rei + Kaworu. The only reason every character has a "ship" in the film - including the most cursed Rei + Kaworu ship is to further the theme of natalism. Its purely thematic. Nothing material.

>>280101772
>>280102282
Rei and Asuka being at odds is also playing with the freudian constructs of id/superego, as both characters represent these constructs respectively. In Freudianism these two constructs are always in conflict, and the ego - represented by Shinji is the mediating construct.

>>280105861

>>280081728
If this isn't a troonslation it means Anno lacks media literacy. Asuka has less strength than Rei which is why she has meltdowns over Rei existing which makes her feel inferior. Evangelion is NOT a feminist work. None of the women are strong.

>>280106920
>Evangelion is NOT a feminist work. None of the women are strong.
Feminists have a weird definition what means strong woman. It often means being a cunt according to their definition.

>>280107373

Shinji is 14 years old. His mom died when he was 4, and his dad is an abusive psycho that is actively molesting a 14 year clone of his mom.
>be cold and distant when he needs someone to reassure him
Misato was dealing with the death of Kaji, the only guy she had a long term relationship with, and the only person she trusted at NERV. Her last act before dying was reassuring Shinji, and pleading with him to pilot, and do the right thing.

That's not even true anymore. Asuka has consistently polled higher than Rei in Japan ever since Shikinami came out. Whether or not you consider the two Asukas the same is another question.

Or the worst offender Thundercats Roar. I don't understand why in both cases they transformed the characters into weird childish chibis in the remake. With anime the chibi shows are never part of a seriohs show. It's mostly something like shorts that come out alongside the actual anime.

I'm getting very close to needing to make an "Asuka and Rei" subfolder in my /a/ folder. I have so many pics of each of them and a bunch of pics of them together. It wouldn't be right to give them separate folders, I'll throw them both in the same folder together.

Ayanami is a loser, Asuka has fun bullying and socially dominating her

>>280129106
Good idea anon. I was a Reifag since I watched episode 23. I was indifferent to Asuka. But since fapping to Rei x Asuka stuff I also love Asuka.

The Good news is that lesbians are heterosexable because males have the feminine X chromosome that attracts lesbians to girls. The Bad news (depending on who you ask) is that straight guys are homosexable because males have the feminine X chromosome that attracts guys to girls.

>>280080958 (OP)
Rei is more popular overall.

Street polls and random polls favor Rei.
Fandom and otaku polls favor Asuka.

This is because Evangelions writers heavily favor Asuka, and dislike Rei - so Rei hasnt pulled the long end of the stick since 1997. Asukas popularity is artificial.

>>280137880
Arguably so in 3.0+1.0, or other spinoffs.

Misato is obviously best girl, but that's only obvious once you become an adult and step outside of Shinji's 14-year old perspective in which Misato is a mommy rather than any kind of girl. And legal age is a spook; adulthood is anywhere between 12 and 25 depending on whether you go by puberty or brain maturity or take a middle ground.

it's the same shit with me!me!me!
if the message you deliver is not received in the way you expect then that's a you problem, people don't just automatically go "oh, i see what you REALLY mean!" just because you put out a message
heh that's like releasing a fighting game that's a sequel to a niche financially underperforming game of 20 years ago with subpar/mediocre graphics, poor storytelling even for a fighting game, boring characters just like the one from 20 years ago, and expecting it to hit the big time in sales just because you promoted it at wrestlemania and also on nostalgia points for the 5 previous fans

>>280120544

>>280153818
Really the problem is that he’s (supposedly) attempting to address the problems caused by a medium by introducing MORE of the things in the medium that cause it. So it’s more like trying to cure an alcoholic by taking them to a bar.

It doesn’t matter what she is because nobody cares.

>>280159674
Who cares about mari

>>280159674
HELL NO!

She was the one female character in the series that was NOT stricken with mental sickness and/or a traumatic past.
>non-background character

It's why her getting Shinji in the end was the best thing that could ever happen to him.

lol. something to consider?
Asuka and Mari both made their debut in the "Rebuild" films, in the 2nd movie.
.
.

But it was Mari that showed up first, in her own opening action segment!

>>280160184
Again, she can only be defined by what she isn’t, even by her own fans.

>>280160464
Only famous for stealing what belongs to Asuka.

>>280160226
Imagine her pubic hair

>>280160643
Shinji belonged to Rei btw

>>280160530
YEP!!
That's the BRILLIANT irony!

The creative team was STRUGGLING how to introduce a new, female character into the films -- who even if didn't fit perfectly, at least worked.

It turns out the answer was right under their nose.

Instead of going with something 'notoriously unique'...
because of all the mental-defects of all the characters...

there was room in the film for an actual NORMAL person to show up!

>well, mostly normal


>>280160226
>>280160672
Lol. That's the most amusing part.

At some point, she WILL give Shinji some sorta offshoot of an Oedipus Complex, by way of her being his mom's college buddy.

And, more likely than not, the traumatic realizations will occur just as he gets a whiff of that 'smell!'

>>280160844
So stop pretending to give a shit about these rebuild movies.

>>280160892
Sounds like an excuse to give up and be horribly lazy. In either case I reject it.

>>280160844
I want to touch Rei.

>>280160968
heh. well... no, not really! that's the irony!
They STRUGGLED for weeks to create something new and fresh.

So, they weren't lazy-- they tried pretty damn hard.

Then, it hit them.

We've all been there, at some point. The RIGHT answer...
was the most obvious one from the get-go.

She's an outright nutcase who apparently is a spy but isn't and made a promise to protect Shinji but was one of the peeople to try and kill him in 3.0. A normal person going through what she goes through would be traumatized or at least reflect on her own actions. She just does a ton of contradictory and even vicious actions without having second thoughts. In real-life, this might be a high functional sociopath or Hisoka style adrenaline junkie's behavior.

>>280160307
Mari unironically wasn't supposed to be a character. The Fourth Child was gonna be another male pilot that was an american that was like the opposite of shinji, so like where Shinji was a quiet pussy he was a manic adrenaline junkie that had no respect for authority. He was also going to be revealed to have mercy-killed his mom and repressed the memory. That was cut for Mari.

Rei is now plamo

>>280162938
Oh yeah wasn't he also gonna have a mommy crush for Misato

>>280162938
Do the Japanese like Mari? Including the older fans of the original series.

>>280156017

The best part about asukafags is that you can immediately ignore anything they say because they outed themselves as being retarded

>>280162938
Yeah his name was Odis apparently. He was probably based off Maverick from Top Gun given that's one of Anno's favorites

>>280163144
Odis would've dicked down Shinji while Asuka watched and introduced him to american cock.

>>280164115
Trvke. Shinji is for cute boys and cute boys are for Shinji.

>Odious

>>280164115
Does NERV even have an American branch?

>>280164210
have you watched nge?

>>280164272
No, I came into this thread to jack off to fourteen year old girls

What I don't understand is that the whole message of Evangelion, and especially the rebuilds, is supposedly to "Go Outside", while the actual events of the rebuild movies directly go against it. What exactly do the last two movies provide thematically, or, for example, by portraying this whole arc of Shinji being hated for protecting somebody he loved? If we look at the events of the rebuild movies, you have to conclude that humanity would have been better off if Shinji didn't try to reach out or connect to anybody. There never would have been a party, and Asuka might not have been injured because both Rei and Shinji would have been available. The third impact would've been delayed, and the plan by SEELE would've entailed the death of way less people through instrumentality. The last two movies are totally incoherent. And the real kicker is making Shinji get with Mari, despite setting up a romance between him and Rei for the entirety of the 4 movies, hinting that she is still alive, and even introducing a new version of her that he also falls in love with. Rei is used as a empty mechanism to make Shinji take action, because they need to be le dark and mysterious by making Gendo some mastermind who actually planned for every contingency, and so the relationship between Shinji and Rei is planned by him. Its so fucking stupid. The arcane, incomprehensible plot points completely flatten and ruin relationships between characters that actually communicates the themes he wants to portray in a " show not tell" kind of way, in favor of this lacking-in-exposition vague overarching plot which nobody fucking understands.

>>280163913
That must get lonely.

>>280160859
This right here
This is my dream

>>280164469
I sense the bigger part of the ending is acting as a metaphor for Anno stepping away from the franchise. Everything comes off as his way of resolving his feelings about everything and then moving on. The problem is that it comes off as dismissive when it should be a bit warmer. Like when he tells Asuka he liked her too. I mean, when was that? When was that ever hinted at? Then him handing her over to Kensuke is really all about Anno handing the franchise to Tsurumaki. The reality of the two characters is secondary to Anno literally saying goodbye to his toys.

Third Impact but Reilith is replaced with pic

>>280164702
There was just no reason to make the Rebuilds. They shouldn't exist. They tarnish Eva as a creative project. Anno basically confirmed that he's become a full-blown hack, which he then reiterated by making an incredibly shitty Gundam anime. He put down his toys and picked up Tomino's, only to smash them together and break them.

>>280080958 (OP)

>>280146103
To be fair, as I got older I found myself preferring older characters as well. Not even a conscious thing, like yeah that teenage character is hot, but something about the adult characters are just more compelling now. Maybe because they got more relatable with age.

>>280080958 (OP)
Explain the collabs

>>280164115
Reverse it and it'd be kino

At least the Rebuilds gave me even more Asuka art. That's my silver lining.

>>280153474
Doubt.

Anno is just sour his waifu Asuka lost the waifu war.

>>280165058
Rei definitely looks better than Asuka here.

>>280164702
Its metaphorical like you said.

Anno is an Asukafag that needs to move on.

>>280165082

>>280165081
Yes

>>280165821
This

>>280081983
That is the point retard.
Men at their weakest rely as a coping mechanism on negative feminine traits such as passivity, women at their weakest rely on negative masculinity traits such as agressiveness, both stem from insecurity and rejection of the self.
You let your shadow take over when you overcompensate and let either side depending on your sex take the pilot seat, this is the animus/anima. You have to accept and integrate your shadow in order to find balance, a man can be compassionate, a woman can be proactive.
>>280081983
I would not say Rei is any less interesting, as she breaks her conditioning by her own free will.

>>280181346

Team Rei

>>280168692
Ngl that is jusr cuckspeak for "im an incel loser who cant get pussy".

Im married with children and the question of who is better, for shinji or otherwise has always been simple. Its Rei.

Rei is just downright a good person, the same way Asuka isnt. The asucuck fantasy of marrying a strong female and a weak male is just that, cuckoldry, no matter how you dress it.

>>280182206
...? Actually, I think I detected a LOT of insecurity in those last remarks of yours there.

>>280183063
What else do you expect from someone who spams buzzwords and pretends to be married on an anonymous message board?

SEELE = Israel
NERV = USA

>>280182206

>>280177252

Oh yeah, I’m married too, and I say strong female stronger male is the way to go.

>>280183617
I want just a little blue triangle

>>280183621
Does your wife like asuka?

>>280183928
No, not really.

I want an asuka gf and fuck her while she is wearing this costume.

>>280184292
I do appreciate that the design team came up with so many costume changes for Asuka. She got a lot of attention design-wise. It just would have been nice if they moved her character off the back burner at some point.

>>280153266
Asukanami?

>>280184411
Test plugsuit is hot

>>280184621
Yeah and again I can appreciate that. But it’s used just prior to a scene where they push her out of the story. It’s like the writers were actively seeking opportunities to drop her, whether it’s leaving her after unit03, leaving her in the spaceship, or leaving her in the shed the whole time. It’s like they consciously avoided focusing on her.

>>280183521
Objectively yes, bigger ass and boobs but Rei is 14, so....

>>280184715
Rei is gone. Rei will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...... or get angry......What about us...... what are WE supposed to do? What about my pain? My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!

>>280184946
Rei has gone quantum. She’s everywhere, even inside your pop-tart.

>>280184839
I used to play a game whose best girl was inspired by Asuka. They designed her with a variety of styles and outfits in mind but then sidelined her hard, much like Asuka herself.

>>280185079
They’re too afraid of her power. Once we get a show with Asuka as the protag, then there shall be an end to the horror.

>>280184839
They had to push mari
>>280185078
But i can't hug qrei

>>280185134
It's been three decades, anon, and we're not getting any younger. I was hoping that game would fix this injustice but it merely repeated it. Unless we get some Asuka-obsessed prince to fund this shit, it ain't happening.

>>280185355
I just need the royalty part.

>>280185282
>They had to push mari
Unfortunately, they forgot to make her interesting.

>>280185401
Even that's asking for too much.

We could settle for blackmailing Khara staff.

>>280143876
nooooo she is only 17 years 364 days old

We would need to employ something, say, more persuasive than that. By all means necessary.

>>280183621

It’s like how Joker wants to kill Batman but also sorta hopes Batman would fuck him.

>>280081765

>>280195841
Goes both ways, asuka and reifags are both obsessed with each other hence the nonstop shitposting that has been going on for the past 30 years

>>280196246
Not really. It's always the Reifags who start shitting on Asuka and her fans
Everytime there's a thread about Asuka here they appear and start shit without provocation

>>280191545
Assuming they're not about to turn me into delicious deciduous tang, I start to hug each one of them in turn.
Rei needs hugs, and never got any even from Shinji, the only one who wasn't creeped out by her or saw her as a tool.
And even if Instrumentality is going on, I'll still hug them, best way to go out in this scenario.

>>280196976
Okay but that isn't Rebuild, it's based off Sadamoto art with the hair swapped. Not every depiction of Rei with long hair is Rebuild.
>>280197271
Where's this from?

>>280196550
It's mostly because reifags are so convinced of Rei's superiority that the idea that a roughly equal number of fans prefer the exact opposite character is offensive in of itself. They insist on using empirical argument (this chart here PROVES it!) as a way to suggest no rational person would choose Asuka.
All nonsense, of course.

Rei is completely beyond Asuka.

Strongest Character in Eva

He is just virtue signalling and trying to score points as an “intellectual” in the “2deep4u” community.

>>280107464
You don’t watch that much anime do you? Eiichiro Oda isn’t a chud.

Stop thinking that Japan is a monoculture where everyone is a fascist.

>>280107597
You are talking about liberal/white feminists. Marxist feminists care about about actual gender equality and not twisted double standards.

>>280081603
>legal age
Asuka and Rei are legal here

>>280210225
But Anno is.
In Eva verse glorious Japan anal fucks USA

>>280210307
In my country Rei is legal.
Asuka only since last episodes

Is that why Garnet from Final Fantasy IX gets so much undeserved praise while Rinoa gets irrationally shat on despite being WAY more likeable.

Rinoa didn't get millions of people killed through her idiocy. Nor poison her love interest and friends because they wouldn't listen to her demanding that the mad evil tyrant mother be talked down, because after Garnet went through all the trouble of escaing said tyrant mother, she suddenly decided the tyrant should be talked to. Nor drag me through a really long sub-quest with a painfully obvious conclusion any idiot could have seen miles away.

...say what you will about Rinoa, at least the characters called her out on her silly stunts, she learned to stop being an idiot, and nobody died because of her idiocy.

When Rinoa was stupid and childish, she got called out on it by the main character and forced to own up to it. Garnet never did.

>>280210422
The difference is that Rinoa is in FFVIII and Garnet in FFIX
Btw i don't care about them. I'm team Aerith.
Team Aerith and Team Rei, japan betrayed both of them

>>280108527
Yeah, her “we don’t need people attitude” words to Shinji in the first episode really piss me off. Bitch, you are the one who brought him somewhere he knew nothing about and then just told him to pilot a robot he had no experience in, not to mention he met his asshole deadbeat dad again who did nothing to apologize to him and that you refuse to call out on.

Anno is NEVER going to make Mari good, no matter how much he tries.

>>280150952
Nah, she only has plan for Shinji to marry Asuka.

>>280210624
Also Misato never cared about asuka. NEVER.
When Asuka has her crisis in the bathroom Misato was annoyed by her.

>>280210673
Truer words have never been posted.

>>280182206
Then read some Eva spinoffs or fanfics that actually fix Asuka and make her more likeable and a better wife to Shinji.

Here are some recommendations:

Shinji Ikari Raising Project
Nobody Dies
Last Child of Krypton (A Shinji is Superman fanfic)
Father knows Best

Why do people think this is a “deep and profound” show again? Pretentious western postmodernists?

>>280210942
Holy fucking autism

Wish it was me

Wut?

>>280210527
Aerith was never Cloud’s main love interest, that was always Tifa. Blame the unorganized writers in the original VII that wrote things like Cait Sith/Reeve trying to hook up Cloud and Aerith out of nowhere, which the Remake correctly removed.

>>280211102
I don't care about that. Aerith and Zack is totally fine and the best ship. I just like Aerith and her story

>>280211033
Okay ableist. Don’t act like you have never read any fanfiction or read Shinji Ikari Raising Project.

>>280211132
Okay? How did Japan “betray” Aerith?

>>280210319

No she will bear Kaji’s child, her real true love.

Who wins or is it a harem end

>>280211188
Episode Jet Alone my dear speedwatcher

>>280211216
Wow, what a bitch.

>>280211256
Being against the U.S. doesn’t mean you are a chud. Has Anno ever said anything that sounded like Imperial Japan apologia, because that would actually make him a chud.

>>280211254
ending is really cute, no harem or win

>>280211298
For a country who never experienced any form of comunism and got nuked twice by US it does

>>280211310
Thanks although I don't know what cute means here

>>280211334
The nuking was just the U.S. empire testing out it’s new toy and trying to scare the Soviets, and was completely unnecessary.

Anon have you seen SEELE? They are basically zionist and jews. Just look their nose

>>280211216
it's actually easy to have one like this
all you have to do is ignore him and he eventually leaves

>>280211786
That doesn't work. He spams anyway

>>280211843
Yeah, he just hasn't been around lately. Usually if you don't reply to him he just spends the tike samefagging to himself

Maybe he is dead

>>280211298
Occasionally, he did. Yes.
You have to remember people in most parts of the world have pretty strong opinions about the U.S.'s past actions.
...and their continuing actions.

>>280206520
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

>fuckin saved

>should be doing work
>instead am going to start posting parody Neon Genesis Evangelion manga pages

Ah well. If the show has taught me anything, it's that self-destructive behaviors won't matter in the long ru-- oh, wait.
Fuck me.

The concept of a P.T. Field was brilliant, honestly.
