Don't Let the Catz say Zero! [DLTMS0 v4.0]

36. Sorry, can't hear you over my Pillows music. /has no need to watch FLCL again to hear their music

37

Speaking of Gainax, I'm watching Kare Kano over again. It was my first real Shojo anime, and it's one of my favorites (though some of the voice acting isn't too great, the show itself is funny and it has Veronica Taylor <3).

39

I keep forgetting about that show, I haven;t seen enough of the older Gainax stuff.

Yeah, don't judge Gainax by their recent stuff. They suck now.

40

I really think they need to be more subtle with their symbolism, I don't think they know how obvious their symbolism is, like the crosses that appear from defeated Angels, I think that maybe, JUST maybe that might be a Christian reference. I'm not sure, though, it's a little too subtle.

41

The Christianity stuff in Eva didn't mean a thing, Anno said he put it in because it would feel mysterious to the Japanese audience.

42

Since the 90s, Christian references are EVERYWHERE in anime, but I guess during Eva's time it would have been mysterious, it's probably what made it "the it thing".

43

I feel bad for all the people who had theories about what the crosses meant, and then had to realize that it's absolutely meaningless.

44

Indeed. Oh well, at least it looked cool!

45

You bet your face it looked cool. I wonder why everyone who hates Evangelion because it's "pretentious" or whatever and never seems to mention the fact that 40% of the show is giant robots vs. alien monsters from outer space. I mean, it is pretentious, but still. Giant robots.

46
NGE was fan abuse at it's finest, and ironically, to me, it has made me view religion as a complete and utter load of BS that was made to frighten the minority as people in high positions pull the strings

remember, the victors write history

also, I think ShinjixRei was a better couple then ShinjixAuska

47

I hope you mean Rei. Normal Rei was boooooooooooooring.

48

I actually skipped Eva as a show. I started watching the show, then stopped early. I read the manga and then stopped at volume 3. But I did watch You Are (Not) Alone and am planning to watch You Can (Not) Advance because Beautiful World by Utada Hikaru is AMAZING. Also, it's what Dragon Ball Kai should have been (though ideally they would have actually made a remake of the DBZ, but I guess they thought that was too much trouble).

49

I like the show that's dubbed "the Eva of the shoujo demographic" a lot more than Eva. Any thoughts on Utena, guys?

51

Evangelion: The show with many, many plotholes at the end

it ended rather abruptly in my opinion

then I watched a little bit of Eureka Seven, good show

52

I've had E7 on hold for years now.

Medaka Box was some horrible source selection. Worst thing I've seen from them, even if I did only watch 1 ep and some of the final fight. Animation was worse than Shana.

53

sexy, Yuza :3
anywho, seems like I'e been blazing through sigs, haven't I?
