Late summer/early fall I asked yall for some manga recommendations for my nieces for Christmas and I got a bunch. They really love Attack on Titan so I got them the first volume omnibus and I’m told they absolutely love it. I got them some others but I like the fact that I’ve been able to bond with them over manga/anime. If only I could get them into old school super hero comics.
I love all the book and manga recommendations here but I probably will still be reading them well into retirement
Evangelion is fine once you realize its a fucking Japanese product and they think Christianity is "cool fun exotic stuff" which makes all the details pretty much fluff, as always. People always forget this part, and Evangelion is probably the biggest offender.
Once you stop focusing on those, its a pretty simply story that remains consistent to its "message" throughout and concludes on the two main stories (Shinji and Asuka's) just fine.
No, it was a bad show with bad characters, bad writing, a bad plot and bad pacing. The penguin was the show's sole redeeming quality, and he barely had any screen time.
I will not be swayed on this. Evangelion is a terrible anime and everyone who defends it is a herd animal or saw it when they were a stupid and impressionable teenager who wanted to think of themselves as some high brow intellectual when they were really just a pretentious teenager.
And of course, you are a free thinker who'd never just follow the popular narrative about something. That's why you are here with the very controversial and totally not mainstream opinion that everyone else has in 2024 and has had for over a decade.
Next you'll break out "Dbz is just like all filler" and "SOA is bad."
Fuck you too.
Oof, must have struck a good nerve with that one then.
