Thread 23422287

Evangelion will turn 30 years old in two months, to get a hype train rolling along we look back on Eva clones, references, homages, and everything in between in mecha and tokusatsu.

I think Amuro inspired Shinji.... pretty original thought I know

eva is just a childhoods end ripoff

My favorite unit-01 ripoff

>>23422287 (OP)
I think those crosses in eva come from...uh...uh...uh? Scientology?

>>23422957
I see more of Uso Ewin in him

>>23422287 (OP)
There is no Neon Genesis Evengelion influence in Mobile Suit Gundam QuuuuuuX.

>>23423070
Why did Misato wear a plus pendant?

>>23423499
he's definitely got uso's screaming down, that's for sure
i wonder if katejina'd like him or not

>>23423904
erm she tried to be positive obviously

>>23424931
The only thing positive about Misato is the breathalyzer test.

>>23422287 (OP)
The armor bits seemed kinda useless but I guess they were to mimic rebuild 2's impact unit 1 nonsense

>>23422287 (OP)
>Eva references
Ew gross

>>23432925
yeah it's for straight men, sorry buddy

>>23432947
>EVA
>straight
Lmao.

>>23432947
>for straight men
>when there's a whole episode of underage gay romance

>>23434164
>a single episode
>as opposed to the entire show being gay
glad we agree

>>23422287 (OP)
I really like Brain Powerd.
I don't know if Xenogears actually was influenced by eva due to the time it was made or not but if so I really love that game too.

>>23435556
But Shinji acted like a fag in every episode. That makes every episode extra gay when he's included. On that we can agree.

>>23441116
I guess it takes one to know one.

>>23422982
I dunno, to me, the Takemysushi is more White Glint than 01, I think. Especially if you consider the white colors.

>>23441159
For you, yeah.

>>23444845
so since I'm not a fag and I don't see shinji as a fag does that mean I'm a better judge at it than you, a fag? sounds about right

>>23444797
i agree but the takemikazuchi was like two years before the release of ac4. do think muv luv mechs in general just have ac inspired designs

>>23422287 (OP)
This whole character was an Evangelion reference.

>>23459279
in no way whatsoever

>>23461118
How is it not?

>>23422287 (OP)
the death of soul in mecha

>>23463374
>not having BRAVERY

Excel Saga?

>>23474292
Scrapped princess. Pretty old anime.

Art is from mogudan.

>>23453417
The Type-00 supposedly is inspired by Detonator Orgun with its big shoulders and arm blades.

No one talks about how Beast Machined Cheetor is insoired by eva

I know this isn't really the thread for it but every time I rewatch the series I wind up enjoying Liliputian Hitcher the most, because it's so insidious. The Angel ostensibly appears very early on, as the deterioration affecting protein wall 87 within Central Dogma. And yet nobody goes on alert. It's just a malfunction, a small problem to be fixed by the next day so Gendo won't yell at you.

But then the corrosion spreads. And still nobody raises an alarm. Hello??? How does "corrosion" actively spread? That doesn't make any sense. How could it leave the protein wall and affect other subsystems, including race towards the Pribnow Box, where the autopilot harmonic test is being conducted? The only thing deterioration should affect is protein wall 87. But despite general warning signs, with Rei's simulation body raising up to try and crush the observation box while Rei herself cries out in pain, Ritsuko doesn't run the blood analysis test until the Angel throws up an AT Field.

Fuyutsuki is understandably pissed about the infiltration, but imagine if Iruel hadn't gone full infection and remained masquerading as a small, minor deterioration problem until it found a path that lead to the Magi. Shit would've gone even worse than the way it already did.

>>23440289
this game seemed like the wildest fucking shit when I saw it in magazines in the 90s
>OMG THE JAPS MADE A GAME WHERE YOU BUILD A ROBOT IN REAL LIFE AND THEN PLUG IT INTO YOUR PLAYSTATION AND USE IT IN THE GAME!!!!!

of course it only looks at the fucking components so you can't actually modify anything and also the game is a shitty slow dogshit version of virtua fighter

what a letdown

>>23506644
bringing up nier automata is funny because in that game's case it literally *is* an eva clone

>>23452057
Why are Victory Gundam and Fate/the one about leering at little girls placed alongside Richard III? Is there a joke I'm missing, or is this guy just extremely contrarian?

>>23525672
>Fate/the one about leering at little girls
Prisma unironically has a plot. A pretty large scale one, in fact. That incorporate greek mythos with the usual Type Moon chu2 magic stuff.

>>23527482
Pretend I posted the "which anime did you rip this off from" screencap from Oregairu.

>>23441057
brain powerd only has superficial similarities to eva which are the organic mecha and chakra resembling at fields both of which you can argue are concepts taken from dunbine

>>23525672
Anon, it's a shitpost.

>>23539091
Nice.

where do I download Evangelion: 3.0 (-46h)? I didn't see it on nyaa.

Urrrgh fuck I knew there was no way I'd hit the 30th anniversary on time with making a new translation. As it stands I'll only be starting work on it again after an extended break by the time the anniversary comes round. At least I'm more confident I can do a good job of it than I was a couple of years ago having taught myself more in the meantime. Did fan efforts to restore episode 16 ever get completed?

>>23545225

Why would you want to, its terrible.

>>23541268
Wow Darling in the Franxx got stupid.

>>23548603
It's okay to watch terrible things.

a szechuan joint the wife and I were at yesterday had a long version of one of the dance mixes of Fly Me To The Moon
I recorded a bit so I can try to nail down which one but it was def an Eva version and not the basic one
otherwise mostly normal pop-ish stuff

I guess I can contribute something recent I did for my channel.

>>23441057
Xenogears was indeed just in development the same time, it was originally an FF7 Concept after all.

I believe that a show isn't an Eva clone unless it has a Gendo clone.

>>23548832
There's a reason pretty much all interest in more content for it died after it ended.

>>23568500
They turned Unit 01 into a nigger? I can get behind Jim Mazinger, but this is just ridiculous.

>>23434164
the point of that episode was to show you shinji is straight despite having access to a willing homo. he also murders the gay. spoilers.

>>23548832
Trigger /m/ stuff takes itself way too seriously.

>>23582633
to me it looks like they think everyone will buy into them being performative

>>23583526
i think they just let imaishi draw whatever he wants and made A-1 try to scrape together a story

>>23592706
Is this Mao Dante?

Just posting it so it is done

>>23593959
>>23594925
Oh, nvm. The leg made it look like Go Nagai's artstyle.

>>23586800
Cool angel
