If he loved her.. and she was fighting.. and he knew that she was fighting then why the hell was he still being wimpy. I know he couldn't go because unit 01 was encased in bakelite. But even before that he knew Asuka was fighting when Misato was driving him to Unit 01. And he still refused to pilot Unit 01... caused Misato to lose her life. I was expecting him to man up even if a little bit. Took him Abuses will lead to ban 2 human lives to make him decide to ride unit 01, gg niggah.


While i must say it was realistic but that seriously wasn't interesting to watch.
Spoiler: show
He was going through his own internal struggles during that whole time, he was afraid that he would kill more people. You're expecting too much from a 14 year old.


I don't think I've seen any anime that's managed to have such well written characters but eh to each his own, I guess.

Well i ain't saying the characters weren't well written ofcourse they were.

Spoiler: show
And i'll say it again. Its not interesting to watch a 14 year old cry at every damn thing. Either you man up to save ur girl and kill people and if you don't then don't scream like an idiot when she dies. He has done it before
He killed Kaoru, he knew if he didn't he would kill them. So why cry over the same thing again and again. Imo they should have shown him developing in End of Evangelion.

NGE had well written characters, no doubt in that. And hell, I was really hooked with the anime. But seeing your protagonist wimp out so much was just not appealing no matter how realistic or well written he was.

Anyway, I think I should re-watch NGE. I kinda watched it long ago. Maybe I'll like shinji more now. Who knows. :p

I think you guys underestimate how popular and well liked Shinji actually is as a character. The majority of the people that have watched NGE think of it as a classic and regard Shinji as one of the best child characters written. Shinji breaks the mold of generic hero paths of do the thing, get confident, do the thing again, fuck up doing the thing, make a strong comeback, do the thing, save the day, win the girl.

You guys are in the minority of you didn't like Shinji. He's one of the most endearing characters for a generation of people that had similar dysfunctional social behaviors. Even I connected with the kid when he was struggling to get through the day. 'Cause frankly, life is like that a lot of the times. You can't just decide to "man up" and have things go better. It never works out that way, and people relate to characters that are going through the same.

Can't argue that. There are different types of people, majority of them break down in the difficult parts of life. Not everyone wanna see strong willed, positive minded, cool n awesome MCs winning in all the situations. And i don't think i've seen any anime where the MC breaks down this much but still goes on so i think people are gonna like him ofc. And personally i also like characters who start weak and end up with some sort of development or in other words you can say "reluctant heroes" but didn't see any sort of development with Shinji that's why i was disappointed :s

I know NGE is very well liked and is considered a classic, hence why I watched it in the first place. It definitely didn't live up to the hype for me though. But I liked the anime overall.

As for shinji, I don't hate/dislike him. But I don't quite love/like him either. He's just sorta in the middle for me. I did liked the fact that they made him realistic and tried to go in a different way then your usual child hero, but sometimes realism doesn't equate to likeness. Seeing him go through difficulties, especially psychologically, which you would expect a kid of that age would go through in that situation should have made me care for him but instead, more often then not, he felt annoying.

well m not into ecchi/hentai bcz most of the times the themes are college life , girly girly stupidity and poping up of bra n panties without any reasons make me bore, even I dont like anime like bikni wariors and etc , dont have any issue with nudity but most ecchi anime has stupidity that a girl should watch so why I skip those ecchi anime , thats why I liked prison school bcz its different from casual ecchi anime , its about prison life , as I checked the trailer ,

and yeah I am a biggest pornstar of the pg :crazy:

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
