The entire point of Eva is a send up to traditional giant robot themes. Of course it shares similar themes with older anime. They are inspired by the works of Tomino and the likes. How that makes it bad I don't know, you really didn't give a reason. Well you did and it was "something older exists HA". Very convincing.Ookami-kun said:Yes it is.
You know what mecha EVA supposedly did but actually better? Zambot 3, and that's decades ago.

Did you know that Anno's inspiration for Evangelion was Ideon?Ookami-kun said:Yes it is.

Also, all various versions of Shinji suck except for the Super Robot Wars version.

Huh? FLCL, Gunbuster, Diebuster, and Gurren Lagann are great shows.Ookami-kun said:Ugh, anything Gainax makes is shit save for His and Her Circumstances, but hey, anime fans who aren't into mecha are pretty much like that.
I'm not sure how it can be a deconstruction since it just used the same cliches without attempting to make them seem realistic or kind of stupid.Ookami-kun said:Oh is that the new catchphrase? I thought it was deconstruction of the genre *shudders at that line of thinking*

ME! Want on PS360~rvy said:
Just for the record... who here has finished the PS2 games?
Haha, no. Seriously?AlphaDragoon said:If Evangelion was good, it would be Xenogears.
You may be crazy, but at least you like His and Her Circumstances.Ookami-kun said:Ugh, anything Gainax makes is shit save for His and Her Circumstances, but hey, anime fans who aren't into mecha are pretty much like that.
Yes and I liked Cowboy Bebop when it was Lupin. Or Bubblegum Crisis when it was Blade Runner. Holy Shit! Things get inspired by other things. Who knew?Ookami-kun said:Also, I like it better when Rahxephon was called Raideen.
What are these others? You mean other Tomino shows? Oh the shows from the dude who is even more unsubtle when it comes to character and plot development then anything in Eva. I sure love Zeta Gundam where everyone feels the need to spout out how they feel.Ookami-kun said:Zambot 3 (and others) handled it seamlessly, without any shit of ZOMG SYMBOLISM and fetishes.

That mod with the knife over there has a few words for you.Mr. E. Yis said:It's amazing that ZOE is 3DS backwards in that font. Why didn't we see this before? Then we would have known what was coming....
Krev said:Haha, no. Seriously?
It's just troll ammo for the inevitable cancelling so they could just go and say "We were just writing ZOE backwards."Mr. E. Yis said:It's amazing that ZOE is 3DS backwards in that font. Why didn't we see this before? Then we would have known what was coming....

I'll give Xenogears' story credit for being interesting enough for an RPG, and that's about it.AlphaDragoon said:Haha, yes. Seriously.
I only mention Tomino, because he is behind Zambot 3.Ookami-kun said:Yeah I'd rather have it when inspiration doesn't turn into bad-tasting perspiration.
Also, no. I'm not talking about his Gundam or Gainer (*shudder*), I don't even think I'm talking about him.
The five-man ensemble that is dynamically done in Voltes V is much more interesting.

Myansie said:I've never played ZOE. If it's a port and it's good I will buy. If it's the 3rd, release the 2nd on PS3 and I'll buy both.
SRW Shinji has evolved enough to tell Kira Yamato to shut up and stop his whining and slap him in the face. That makes him automatically better than all other forms of Shinji.Krev said:I want to slap anyone who thinks Shinji sucks because he won't 'grow a pair'.

I still want to know how the man who made Gundam and Zeta Gundam created this thing. I know some people don't like ZZ and all but christ shit was the greatest thing ever compared to Overman King Gainer, some of the most painful moments I have ever had watching anime was during this piece of trash.Ookami-kun said:Yeah I'd rather have it when inspiration doesn't turn into bad-tasting perspiration.

This is true for most Eva fans, but you could say the same for fans of any popular or recent anime.Ookami-kun said:And it's one of his better works. None of the stupid conundrum.
People who are fans of EVA prolly never even watch old mechas.
Krev said:This is true for most Eva fans, but you could say the same for fans of any popular or recent anime.
Eva is my favourite anime and I watch old mecha shows.
Also no, the show is the best.Ookami-kun said:And the fanbase, good god the fanbase. If only I can nuke it.
Same with TTGL. That is a pretty meh show that got noisy because ZOMG SUPER ROBOT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Seriously.
I'm not sure how thats connected. Eva is an entry level mech show for a lot of people. It was for me. I don't think it's the deepest shit ever or the best mech show. But it's fine on its own and you have to start somewhere. I've seen plenty of old mech shows. I like Vottoms and Macross just like other fans. I don't really get the venom for Eva.Ookami-kun said:And it's one of his better works. None of the stupid conundrum.

Sadly, I agree with you there.Ookami-kun said:And the fanbase, good god the fanbase. If only I can nuke it.
The first half was executed very well. Very refreshing style to it. But yeah, it's definitely overhyped.Same with TTGL. That is a pretty meh show that got noisy because ZOMG SUPER ROBOT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

AlphaDragoon said:And whoa, let's not bring good shows like Gurren Lagann into good-natured family friendly Eva dissing. TTGL was definitely not trying to be deep, but it was great for what it was.

Great is being very kind. Gurren was alright, however no were near as close to as hyped as it is. And seeing Kamiya's ass plastered every where for so long only made me hate the series even more since people ran the only decent character into the ground.AlphaDragoon said:So Shinji turned Kira into Gundam SEED Destiny Kira who killed first and asked questions later? Nice. XD
I give Eva credit for the concept. That's pretty much where it stops.
