It's good because it's one of the few eldritch horror manga we get, along with having top tier robot designs, especially when Shin Getter is concerned

>Getter Robo did Gurren Lagann, but better
Retard that never actually read the getter saga and just goes off from the fanfic imagawa wrote (and it's shit) known as armaggedon.
Getter ultimately explores the idea of the cruel process of evolution. Sure, from the OG manga to Go, it's easy to treat the getter as this friendly energy that helps mankind evolve. But when Shin comes and we see the real price of that, we start to question if it's truly worth it, as more and more space races literally do space kamikaze bombings just to destroy humanity. And then Arc comes, and shows that indeed, such a school of thought will literally lead to what the antispiral fears. Pitifully, Ishikawa died before finishing his magnus opus. In my humble opinion, and given the buddhist themes of the story, i believe the ending would have been something along the lines of transcending the need to conquer and evolve into a higher state of being beyond the getter (i.e. Attaining Buddhahood). And the anime bring a close to the question of whether fighting fate is part of fate itself (and the answer being that yes, it's worth it)
If anything, Gurren Lagan answers the question that just as mankind can fight, they can come to understand and even love others, and that as long as that hope remains in the spirit of evolution, the spiral zero won’t happen.

People often joke that eva is all gloom and doom. And then you watch rahxephon and start noticing how Eva actually had fun with the battles: each angel had a unique fight or gimmick to overcome and a decent part of the chapter was for that.
In rahxephon, battles are like 1 minute of runtime and they all usually follow the pattern of Ayato getting trash by the monster, entering the awakened rahxephon mode, and the obliterating the monster. The rest is really gloom navel gazing, even if the aesthetic is fucking killer.

While W101's "that" moment is great, few things will be as hype as Dragon Quarter's final boss "that" moment. The whole game is claustrophobic and suffocating thanks in large part to its in game cancer timer. Then the game just asks to go fuck it, sacrifice yourself using the game mechanics to save the loli.

There really isn't much to say. The director, Tomoki Kyoda, of E7, E7 AO and the E7 movies seems to hate the fact that E7 had a happy ending and has pretty much done everything he can to destroy that since the OG TV show. I think the third High evolution movie is when he just went pure spite, likely since all the movies performed like utter shit, and implied that even the original E7 TV show was just a dream Eureka had while the reality is that Renton was dead and has been dead for a long time. Rumor is that Kyoda wanted the series to have a bittersweet ending in the first place, but he got veto'd by other members of the production team, but he has done everything he could to piss on anything linked to E7 TV since then.

All I know is that I keep bouncing off the first 10 or so episodes every time I give it a try. It just seems to go nowhere for most of those episodes, the children are annoying, during that entire timespan it manages to feed you very little information about the world or why we're supposed to hate the military. It's one of those anime that I end up googling "when does it get good" and for E7 the answers that pop up aren't particularly inspiring.

I'd pick Astlibra Revision, as it's basically a man's fight against fate, where you start out as weak little kid and in the middle of nowhere, the plot gets progressively crazier, and then end up standing on the heavens to fight God, because God didn't like that the dragon gods had surpassed the natural selection/evolution process that he had put in motion on the planet (since he had witnessed the destruction of his home world and wanted his new world to avoid the same fate), and had intended to wipe the slate clean with his god killing system, Geass; the MC was an unwitting pawn in the dragon god's 5D chess game for survival..

Not wrong but Eureka 7 and Gunbuster are nothing like TTGL

Eva was the opposite of doom and gloom, it had melodramatic moments like the hedgehog dilemma but it was a pretty lighthearted mecha show. SoL at times even.

Eva was retroactively ruined by the movies far harder than Eureka was ruined by garbage like Ao.

Reminder that Macross is the best robot show of all time, and DYRL is the best animated movie ever made.

You do know TTGL was still Gainax, right?

This is a basic bitch opinion that people parrot while holding up the original series as if it's their golden cum chalice. AO is filled with aborted plotlines to the point they make an actual retcon gun to remove story threads without them ever being resolved. Why is theEND in the basement? Why do they have the movie Nirvash? Why did they say that everyone from the previous series died offscreen?

The ending is so rushed they had to do a follow-up episode years later trying to at least resolve some character stories, but none of it is earned.

E7's extended universe content is all abortion level. The difference is that Eva's movies actively ruin the original show, because EoE spoils the last 2 episodes of the original show because so many midwits wanted Anno to explain the mystery.

Sure, the rebuilds are dogshit too, but EoE killed Eva.

Any super robot shows reccs while we're at it? I loved Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo, Zambot 3 (but I kinda hate other Tomino shows) and Panzer World Galient.

EoE is just the literal plot happening, the final two episodes of the series are about resolving its themes. As much as Eva's plot is merely a vehicle for its themes, I think setting up a plot means it should be resolved. Everything that needed to be said has been said in the series. The background lore with the FAR isn't necessary for the themes which is why it's not shown with the plot, even though there's a scene in the series where Gendo and Fuyutsuki more or less refer to it in their cryptic jargon.

Until gaiden's ending gave us an alien invasion sequel hook that may or may not be followed up before KEIZO kicks it from his age
