He's that artist that can only do simpering aspiration or smug gloating. Back when he was depressed, lonely and creepy he actually had to try, but can't escape the needy 'woe is me, the lonely loser creep narrative'. Now that he's complacent, content and married his work has no edge, little ambition, riding nostalgia with the depth of a spoon.

I try not to wish bad things on artist making art, but I do think that a divorce would shake up his storytelling.

I honestly overthink his work, though. He could retire and I'd be fine with it.

you faggots are as insuferable as the normies. Can't even discuss EVA without the entire conversation turning into annu's gossiping

Yeah, just look what happened to Aka.

You can't save a femishit and I don't want to.

>>281548058
Well that what happens when your greatest work is so thoroughly injected with biographical themes as to make the art almost indistinguishable from the artist. He made a goddamn masterpiece and through symbolism and metaphor you reach the conclusion that it's about himself. He becomes a needed ingredient to the discourse.

Why would I have any problems with feminism? Anime and manga are overwhelmingly feminist. Your western reactionary culture war derangement from /v/ has no relevance to this board.

>>281548926
It is in fact very feminist to constantly strip Asuka and Rei out of their clothes and sell nude calendars.
Every time someone masturbates to Strike Witches (like Anno) they're doing feminist praxis.

He fixed Asuka's bitchyness by getting her being stuffed by Kensuke

>>281548356
Eva was never about random symbols. It was always all about the characters.

>>281550285
Why would you even bring up NGE when that show constantly shows woman as equally competent and self-possessed as men?
A lot of people make a big deal out of objectification but it has to be understood that the entire notion of fanservice or sexualization emerges in parallel with the low culture proliferation of pornography such as in the form of pink films, crossing over because of the children’s media complex being considered low culture and therefore becoming suffused with counterculture adjacent artists rejected from high status employment. When otaku was jokingly taken up as an identity to spite its pejorative usage by Japan’s conservative mainstream, lewdness was a weapon against the system and the accusation of sexual deviancy was weaponized for revolutionary purpose. If such a thing perforates the mainstream, as anime has, it’s easily co-opted back to reinforcing patriarchy and thus gets recognized for participating in objectification. However the original otaku subculture is essentially a feminist one where men and women are portrayed as emotionally, mentally, and many times even physically equal to men, let alone the standard postwar neoliberal framing of human rights that automatically presents women as legal equals. Sexism against Misato and Ritsuko is one of the things that happens to make the Jet Alone dudes look like assholes.

I think fetishism and sexualization are so great they need to be more equally applied to bring manservice into balance with a purity niche to cover asexuals. With that the assembly of images necessary for healthy civilization will be complete, praise the goddess. I understand why feminists have problems with anime and manga but what’s become obscured is that these things were an incredibly assertive subversion of puritanical sense at the time. There’s a reason the stereotypical villain behind censorship of sexual content has always been moms writing letters and conservative politicians pandering to them.

>>281548926
>Anime and manga are overwhelmingly feminist.
t. Some fat hog that's only seen Sailor Moon and made her dissertation about how ackshually the show isn't objectifying young teen girls, it's about empowerment!

>>281551514
I don’t care about sexualization of teens or even children. The target audience of anime and manga are those people, after all, and I think media that allows them to explore sexuality in any way they want should exist and be freely accessible. In the Hellenistic heights of vaunted western civilization, they just had lifelike statues of nude people everywhere. There are anecdotes of certain favored statues stained by semen. If you’ve seen some of those Artemises…

I just can’t really be bothered if the only trick you have is dragging decades old tumblr straw men out of the closet, all it really does is mark you as someone who is totally disingenuous and hasn’t had an original thought since 2014.
Imagine complaining about feminism in 2025 lol

I hate Hideaki Anno physically, I dislike that kind of man. He has the Nobita disease; that particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Everything he does on the screen is therapeutic.

Don't worry, roastie. Us alphas and zoomers are naturally blackpilled and we are going to take your rights away.

>>281551974
The current Japanese Communist Party wants to ban the "commercialization of sex'.
Hideaki Anno is also a friend of Ken Akamatsu (who became a LPD politician because of the JCP demanding censorship of "non-existent youth" aka lolisho, and is reviled by feminists) and met with him this year. Regardless of what you think about sexualization, it is undeniable that feminism has become synonymous of puritanism and PTA groups. Especially so in Japan because radfems are the main proponents of it.

>>281552426
Blackpilled? Did you just get brought out of cryosleep? Tourists aren’t even pretending they aren’t NPCs programmed in the /pol/ echo chamber lol

You say this while the whole Collective Shout debacle is happening and feminist karens are demanding online IDs all over the world right now, lol.

>>281552756
inb4 "it's the conservatives fault"
It's both. Feminists and religious conservatives have a history of working together.

>>281552756
Collective Shout? Is that airing this season or next?
Oh, is that some more western reactionary culture war brain rot? Usually what it is when tourists start dropping all these things that clearly make sense in their echo chambers on /v/ and /pol/ and twitter and Reddit but just sound batshit on /a/.

>>281552894
Everyone around here knows about payment card processors fucking shit up, including otaku stores, retard. And with the whole itchio shit and the online ID verification shit it stopped being a niche otaku concern. Even bluesky users are talking about it. You either live under a rock, or you're disingenuous.

Japanese politicians have been talking about this for a long while now too, ostrich.

>>281553053
Even who are talking about what? You tourists need to realize that you’re never going to fit in if you keep mentioning all these buzzwords from /v/ and /pol/. Like what, are you going to start posting twitter screencaps and ranting about Jews?
There’s not even a shred of pretense that you aren’t brain rotted pieces of shit lol

>>281552112
but that's why he's successful. most men are timid pussies so they resonate with his work.

>>281553646
This shit is major news and directly threatening to anime.
Kill yourself, you retarded reductionist faggot.

>>281553646
Again, even LIBERALS/LEFTISTS on Bluesky are concerned about this. Don't see what you gain by going "who cares about payment processors deciding what you can buy or not or governments wanting to eliminate online anonymity".

>>281553778
This shit is news in your culture war brain rot echo chamber, that’s why all of you tourists talk like programmed NPCs going on about anti feminist tropes from a decade ago and what blueksy users think. It’s all tourist trash.

>>281553884
There have been multiple threads on this board about payment processors fucking up otaku stores too.

>>281553926
Sure, give your ID to the government to use google. No big deal.

>>281553926
Slit your throat, retard. There's no reasoning with your kind no matter what evidence anyone pulls up.

>>281554081
You aren’t a reasoning person, you’re a disingenuous fascist dog. That’s why I’m unmoved by all the bullshit you tourist scum have memorized in your echo chamber. There’s no reasoning with your kind because you’re nothing more than selfish predators without morals.

>>281553926
Are japanese politicians and Ken Akamatsu and a lot of japanese artists wrong to be concerned about this? Are they all nazis?

>>281553943
These retarded faggots will never stop spewing thoughtlessly about /pol/ or muh culture war no matter who in Japan says it's a big deal and are pleading to help protect the sexy. Fuck them.

Hello tourist from /v/ who can’t help but expose himself as a pathetic gamergate piece of shit

>>281553926
Is there something more NPC-brained than not caring about governments wanting to censor the whole internet because "think of the children"?

>>281554280
So glad you trannies have a short shelf life

>>281554280
Yoko Taro has spoken against payment processors. A LOT of japanese artists like say, Yuu Kamiya (No Game No Life), Hiroe Rei (Black Lagoon), etc. have all signaled against this shit. Are they all /pol/tards? Hiroe Rei is also a big leftist and recognizes this shit is bad, so why can't you?

>>281554298
See it’s just kind of hard for me to care about that because you’re disgusting fascists who say all kinds of abominable shit and swap cp, and I’m not. All of you reactionary dogs should get exactly what you deserve and the system you’ve sold your dignity to shill for is swooping in to do it. You don’t care about any of the other harms the system does to people less fortunate than you, you’re spoiled and degenerate filth afraid of consequences for yourself. Maybe after you cunts experience some actual oppression I might give a fuck about you, but I’ll probably just wish they’d killed you because you’re pedophiles and abusers.

>>281554414
Your first mistake is believing I'm right-wing in the first place.
Your second mistake is believing the boomers making all these new bills won't go to people less fortunate (like sexual minorities) twice as hard.
>swap cp
Please don't tell me this is about lolishit.

>>281554534
>I-I’m not a right winger
>beep boop trendy right wing talking point from the echo chamber #473
I’m not sure if it’s funnier when you tourists drop the pretense and start ranting about Jews or keep pretending you fit in

See your mistake is failing to acknowledge the truth of our fascist world order where the vulnerable are already targeted and all bills like this do is make the coddled citizens who have consented to the previous exploitation feel that same pain. If protesting can’t stop an ongoing genocide, what are you doing playing around fake protesting over porn? Disgusting.

>>281554739
Can you acknowledge this? >>281554386
>I’m not sure if it’s funnier when you tourists drop the pretense and start ranting about Jews or keep pretending you fit in
You're arguing with a strawman. Meanwhile, the terfs at Collective Shout are real about what they want.
>If protesting can’t stop an ongoing genocide, what are you doing playing around fake protesting over porn? Disgusting.
Are you pro-accelerationist or something, or just anti-porn? If the latter then there's the mask off of the real tourist. Supporting censorship of "degeneracy" and supporting otaku culture is incompatible.

>>281554935
I’m something of a communist so I fully support removing the profit incentive from artistic production as part of the dismantling of capitalism. Arguing about porn censorship within the fascist world order is nothing more than empty virtue signaling that’s a favorite of scum who need a few ways to pretend to be moral to cover their asses. That’s why I don’t really care about your carefully cherry-picked list of sound bites, I know it’s just a game for you. Behind it all you’re just a dumb piece of shit. You get the world you create, don’t blame anyone but yourself.

>>281555099
So you're a tourist after all.
How dare you claim we're tourists for not wanting our hobbies censored and listening to the actual artists who make them? First, you were claiming otaku culture was overwhelmingly feminist but now that I bring up japanese politicians and artists of different political beliefs you say their concerns about card censorship are all BS about because you don't want to acknowledge that radfems are bad.

>>281555185
Hiroe Rei is just a neo-nazi chud after all and not a true otaku!

>>281555185
I’m not saying their concerns are bullshit, I’m saying your use of them is nothing but a disingenuous facade. You don’t actually have morals or ethical concerns, you’re a disgusting parasite that shapeshifts to stay relevant. You’re obviously a tourist because you can’t stop talking about the culture war brain rot from /v/ and /pol/. You don’t even watch anime lol

>>281555245
You don't know me.
The reason I even got to know about those artists beliefs is because I browse JP discourse regularly because anime is deeply important to me.
If their concerns are not bullshit, why am I /pol/tard for acknowledging them? As I said, even the fucking liberals on blusky are talking about this shit.

>>281548029
You people want Anno to get divorced so he can make evangelion 2. I want Anno to get divorced because he looks so hot!! I need to marry that man!!

>>281555369
I hope he NEVER returns to the Evangelion franchise.

>>281555346
You get this shit from the gamergate echo chamber because no one else complains about porn getting censored. All of you get loaded up with identical talking points so you tourists are easy to spot.

>>281555398
do you even know what tourist means? you're throwing that word around like fucking candy when out of anyone in this thread, you are the easiest to classify as one, given your antithetical beliefs regarding otaku culture.

lmao, get fucked tradcuck/radfem
You're a retarded tourist who made such a bold claim: "anime/manga is a feminist medium". It's like a retarded tourist with a trad Frieren avi saying: "anime/manga is an inherently right-wing medium".

Solving something kills it forever, so I could see him being pretty proud of that.

>>281555482
MAGAtards are largely in favor of banning porn.

>>281555519
Magatards are regular people and united under the banner of things not related to porn. The president going off script and undoing his campaign promises doesn't signal a hive mind, but an internal divide. People are allowed to disagree with someone after voting for them, but libshits wouldn't know anything about that because they never tried. Biden and Obama never faced any kind of backlash for betraying their base.

>>281555519
They have to pretend to be but they’re all deviant freaks which is why suddenly there is tension when the fascist regime they sold themselves to starts to actually do it. That’s why it’s funny to see the pieces of shit still blaming feminists and leftists in the echo chamber as if all of this isn’t their own fault.

>>281555582

Why is it so hard to admit that sex-negative feminists exist? Trump didn't give Collective Shout power, they are an australian terf group.

>>281555582
Trump blamed violent videogames for school shootings. That should have tipped you off on his thoughts about fiction.

>>281555398
>because no one else complains about porn getting censored.
Laughably dumb opinion.

>>281555582
Biden was literally bullied out of his reelection campaign by an outraged base that will call him genocide Joe until the end of time. Obama is referred to as the deporter in chief and maligned for being the same as Bush as well as letting Wall Street off the hook after the financial crisis. How many layers of ironic delusion do you have to be wrapped in to think the left doesn’t want to gut the controlled opposition neoliberal fascists? Meanwhile the right have been happily voting for a pedophile sex trafficker who brags about raping women, erupting in cheers of “your body, my choice” when women’s rights were stripped down.

Every right winger is a degenerate piece of shit with no morals or ethics. Dumb, selfish predators and nothing more.

>>281555648
I’m dismissive of you because I know you’re nothing more than a disingenuous cunt. That’s why you have all these talking points memorized lol

Absolutely fucking despise them.

>>281555895
See, you're no better than a tradcuck.

>>281555842
It’s almost like actual otaku wouldn’t vote for right wing regimes that censor porn. But that’s why you’re all such obvious posers. You vote for the censorship and then circlejerk over scapegoats and pretend to protest censorship by shitposting for a few weeks until the next trend starts.

>>281555938
Again with the strawman. I didn't vote for shit.
I'm not even 'murican.

>>281547682 (OP)
That means anime is a problem and he only solved some of them.

>>281555938
you are culture war brainrotted, just via tumblr. you should go back

>>281555895
Porn addiction is not a real thing. Psychiatry doesn't recognize it, and the "studies" that claim that porn works like a drug are funded by religious right organizations like NCOSE and Exodus Cry. The irony of a self-proclaimed communist >>281555099 falling for that shit.
Horsehoe theory is right.

>>281557142
See I’m really talking about porn addiction addiction, or rather, that derangement where you already have a canned response to that trigger word. The topic itself is an obsession for brain rotted western reactionary culture warriors. But also it is just porn addiction. That’s why the rallying point is always fictional boobs. It’s completely transparent and that’s why everyone treats you with contempt, as you deserve.
