This is why no one takes western animation seriously.

>Left
Personal work directed by an actual animation prodigy about how he dealt with depression after working on a series with a legendarily bad production background that nearly bankrupted his entire company
>Right
Some comedy show made in flash by people that couldn't give half a fuck

Gee OP, I wonder how these movies turned out differently

>>149007499 (OP)
No offense but evangelion is pretentious fag shit while teen titans go is funny
Plus whatever this guy said >>149007529

>>149007499 (OP)

Evangelion is dog shit and that is coming someone who was a fan until the creator just decided to wank himself off with that last movie.

>>149007558
Evangelion is not only pretentious shit but it's also way more blatant coomer shit than TTG, especially the Rebuilds

>>149007558
TTG is just poop/fart humor with the occasional "muh adult reference" joke sprinkled in
If you find that funny then you may just be retarded

>>149007561
The Rebuilds don't exist and Anno literally said he wanted to destroy the franchise during the production of 2.0. Somewhere between the original series and today he completely changed as a person for the worse.

>>149007499 (OP)
Left is art created for young teens, adults both younger and older, and people in general with a deep meaning. Right was made for kids that laugh at the word homo-erectus

>>149007499 (OP)
Yeah... deep plot...

>>149007561
I just pretend the Rebuilds never happened. I can still appreciate the original series even if Anno became a massive faggot later.

>>149007558
>>149007561
In terms of direction EoE is so above almost everything in the west, it's sad when you think about it.
>>149007529
I think the problem is that you would never get something like EoE or like Kon's works in the west. Even if the OP is retarded that's still the truth.

>>149007592
>Rebuilds
Not real Evangelion

>>149007499 (OP)
The actual End of Evangelion of Western animation is The Spongebob Movie

>>149007592
>>149007561
Rebuilds=/=EoE

>>149007561
Anno has been trying to make his fanbase hate him for 20 years but they keep eating his slop without questions

>>149007611
At least use something that is animated on cels if you want to come close to End of Evangelion's greatness.

>>149007599
>like Kon's works in the west.
This. The west will never make something like Perfect Blue, instead you will get more comedyslop.

>>149007618
I genuinely think that the fanbase continuing on in the same manner after EoE broke him. That movie viscerally hates you for being a fan, I don't think he could have possibly made it more clear. So he just said "fuck it" after that.

>>149007625
I'll take a funny movie with a good message over that pseudo-intellectual slop

>>149007668
It still is digital garbage so you have shit taste. Kill yourself, retard.

>>149007668
>This masterpiece is slop because it's not funny!
Really? Spongebob was a great movie but EoE is way beyond it.

>>149007717
>muh edgy imagery and teenage angst
Of course /a/ tards haven't seen good movies from actual good directors like David Lynch which is why they dickride something this juvenile at its core.

Since this is a blatant rage bait thread, I got an idea for a general I want your guys thoughts on

“Catch up general”
Basically it’s a thread for anon that missed their chance to experience (insert show) alongside /co/ to sorta simulate how that experience was like

>>149007737
We are talking about animated movies here and EoE looks 1000 better than the spongebob movies

>>149007737
>David Lynch
Funny how you didn't use western animation as example of good movies

>>149007750
>Basically it’s a thread for anon that missed their chance to experience (insert show) alongside /co/ to sorta simulate how that experience was like
You could just use https://desuarchive.org/co/search/type/sticky/ for 10s shows like Su, last SJ season, Gf.

I'll take any watch together threads.

Should I watch the Rebuilds or will they ruin Evangelion for me?

>>149007884
Only if you're capable of treating them as a separate piece of media from the original. The first one is mostly just a retelling of the early show and isn't really so bad either. It's everything else that's a problem and very well could ruin the series for you if you can't separate the two.

>>149007884
Don't watch them.

>>149007883
I already love both immensely, yet i still hate TTG

>>149007883
Just call me Siddhartha Gautama then. Imagine actually arguing about that.

>>149007499 (OP)
For me? It's Redline and Sword of the Stranger.

>>149007499 (OP)
Did a YouTuber tell you that EoE should be the standard for all animation?

>>149007893
>>149007902
>It's everything else that's a problem and very well could ruin the series for you if you can't separate the two
That bad?

>>149007931
Bro did you just wake up? They've been discussed and rediscussed for thousands of times in these last 2 decades.

>>149007945
I'm new to Eva. I think the series + movie are excellent and I watched the first rebuild movie but I'm afraid of continuing because, again, people say it ruins the series.

>>149007928
>the standard for all animation?
Not OP but damn imagine if that was true. That many movies with great direction and fantastic use of color. I wouldn't mind that.

>>149007967
Then don't.

>>149007639
I saw perfect blue and was mad there wasnt any actual rape in it just simulated rape

>>149007529
You know what amazes me?
Something that never comes up in East Vs West threads is how we never bring up how consistently people compare anime with the target demographic of teenagers to cartoons with the target demographic of elementary schoolers.
"Why does this kids show not have all this cool shit as a show aimed at a significantly pickier demographic who are well known to gravitate to things like cool fight scenes, hot women, and endearing ensemble casts?"

>Why isnt anime cartoons?
Eva is shit
Anime is shit
Kys weeb

>>149008001
Ok, then tell me where is the western stuff comparable to EoE. That comparison is usually done because there are a lot more anime made for teenagers and adults then cartoons made fore these demographic.

>>149008001
Because there aren't cartoons for teenagers/young adults

>>149008019
Cope

>>149007499 (OP)
>deep plot
I dropped Evangelion after 15 or so episodes because I was promised this 'deep plot' and all I got was a whiny kid doing monster of the week fights where they keep saying: there is no way we can win this fight! and then win 5 minutes later.

>>149008054
>after 15 or so episodes
You might as well finish it.

>>149007750
pretty cool idea actually. I’d be into that at least

>>149007499 (OP)
Are you implying that the TTG movie was meant to be taken seriously?

>eva still gets constant discussion after 30 years
Not even atla had such an impact on /co/. Pretty weird when you think about it.

>>149008098
ATLA is coal

>>149008098
What else is there to discuss in ATLA? EVA not only has better waifus, but also a far more interesting story.

>>149008098
For starters, Avatar isn't 30 years old.

>>149008108
Whats so interesting about a buncha cuck teenagers having mental breakdowns? Unless youre a cuck yourself.

>>149008064
but it sucks ass

>>149007558
No offense but you're retarded

>>149008128
>instantly starts writing his cuck fantasies
Classic. Anyways atla can't even come close to being as iconic as eva.

>>149008147
Who gives a shit about eva being "iconic" its anime its trash not even worth watching in the first place. Avatar is way better a story.

Haven't seen Evangelion since I was a teenager. Haven't seen Teen Titans Go at all.

>>eva still gets constant discussion after 30 years
Lol. On /a/, 99% of Evangelion discussion is nonsense shipping shit, which is the least-interesting part of the series, by far.

>>149008128
It's a love story, probably one of the best ones ever told. And it's great because it ends in disaster. The lessons from Evangelion are that we will never be able to truly understand each other, and that to be an individual is to be alone. But without individualism and lonesomeness, we'd have no concept of friendship, love and intimacy. No one will ever understand what it's like to be you, no one will ever know exactly who you are, but you can still try to connect. It's about the temptation to cut yourself off from the world and how selfish it is.
Evangelion is actually very similar to Hayao Miyazaki's films, but Anno is more interested in exploring the sexual aspects. But in terms of philosophy and themes, they're quite aligned. Evangelion is about people inspiring each other to live.

>>149007529
OP bait aside he has a point. Even in the comedy sphere western comedy is really, really bad and formulaic. The only western animation that is respected in Disney and well Disney has been shit for the last decade.

>>149008165
>Lol. On /a/,
Not only on /a/, everywhere. But if we keep it to 4chan /v/ and /tv/ have threads all the time as well.

>>149007499 (OP)
Keep seething anti-bbxstar flat earther.

>>149008165
>which is the least-interesting part of the series
Asuka and Shinji's codependency is absolutely integral to the OG Evangelion story. It's the reason why everything spirals out of control in the final act. Their quiet moment of connection and understanding at the end of EoE ties things up in a neat bow.
I haven't watched the Rebuilds so I won't comment on them.

>>149008164
>Who gives a shit about eva being "iconic"
Everyone? Atla is forgotten shit and exists only for people to make fun of its sequels.
>Avatar is way better a story.
Lol. The story is extremely basic(so it NGE's but the themes, characters and direction are way above atla's) Also cel> digital so atla will never be as soulful as NGE.

>>149008175
Who gives a single shit about any of that but weebs? Im not a weeb i dont care about eva i care about cartoons. Fuck off you dumb fucking weeb.

>>149008204
>i care about cartoons.
No one cares about cartoons, other than movies, nowadays. You are a weirdo.

>>149008199
>avatar is forgotten
Then make a fucking thread about avatar on /co/ for one it would be on topic. But we all know you come here just to talk about anime because you're a pathetic fucking weeb. Kys you fucking loser.

>>149008164
>Avatar
More like budget Cowboy Bebop lmao

>>149008218
>im wierd because i care about cartoons
Aint you the one talking about cartoons on the cartoons board? Even if you're just here to shit on cartoons its a clear sign you care. If you didnt you would just go to /a/ to talk about anime like a good fucking weeb.

>>149008132
Evangelion is formulaic at the start because Anno had to sell a show to the network. "Oh yeah, it's a show about this shonen protagonist wearing a Gundam suit and fighting demons and having sexual tension with this redhead girl." He had to do it so he could backdoor the interesting stuff in the latter half of the show.

>>149008232
>avatar being compared to cowboy bebop
You're lucky thats one of the few anime i even like otherwise id call you a retarded weeb. But you seriously think that cowboy bebop would air on nickelodeon?

>>149007499 (OP)
Gunbuster is better than Evangelion.

It all makes sense when you realize that Hideaki Anno is Jap George Lucas.
