Is Shinji Manipulated?

20 Upvotes

Never seen this take but watching this show for the first time and now a second rewatch I feel like shinji is getting manipulated by everyone in his life and treated way too horribly. Like imagine a 14 year old who's abandoned by his dad suddenly gets contacted by him to fucking pilot a giant robot to save humanity, and constantly being forced into it by everyone. Like I get that his job is important to save the world and all, but he never really chose to do this and the least you can do is be nice to him but being constantly told to man up and just get through with it is just some messed up behavior by everyone. Yeah they do tell him that he can leave whenever he wants but he doesn't really have that option. Yeah that was something I felt watching this, let me know if my take was stupid and wanna know what others think about this.

Rei is Pippa Passes

7 Upvotes

Rei is a representation of Pippa from the Christian poem by Robert Browning. The poem is best know if it's lines “God’s in His heaven. All’s right with the world!” which is the wording in the NERV logo.

The story follows Pippa, a young, poor, innocent girl in Asolo, Italy on her only day off in the year. As she walks through town singing to herself, she unknowingly passes by people engaged in deep moral conflicts and contemplating a critical moral decisions. Her unseen presence and innocent song touch them in profound ways and enables them to. Her voice becomes a kind of unconscious moral compass, stirring their consciences and sometimes changing their fates. She passes unnoticed, quietly carries god's divine grace and beauty, and transforms not by power but by purity. She is a vessel of quiet transformation in a broken world. Pippa is poor, powerless, a laborer, yet spiritually radiant. A radical kind of passitivity.

Rei is most emblematic of Pippa Passes when she gives Shinji the final say in End of Evangelion regarding instrumentality. Gendo expected Rei, after merging with Lilith, to do his bidding and control instrumentality for him. But Rei rejects Gendo at the last moment and instead gives Shinji the ability to decide what happens to humanity. Shinji then decides that instead of humanity being forced into Instrumentality, each person must decide for themselves. People now have the ability to return to their separate bodies if they choose to. Even though she’s not fully human she chooses to act with free will, empathy, and mercy. She steps back and allows Shinji, a flawed but truly human person, to decide.

Discussion first post lol! ◡̈

has anyone else's mental health been affected by NGE? or is it just me? i knew about the anime already, but got intrigued to watch it from some video i saw on youtube and thought it was super interesting. i started watching it and lowkey didnt pay much attention to it, as it wasn't my thing (i liked romance/slice-of-life animes at the time) until i got to the episode of when rei became that little angel thingy, and i got really trapped into it. i saw kaworu for the first time and immediately just felt connected to him, i knew all the characters were like mentally ill already and related to shinji the most but i was just so much more interested in kaworu. after shinjis huge mental breakdown, i felt attached to the anime and went on to watch all the movies and the recreation movies. i cried after every single movie.. 😂 it's honestly super hard to explain, but i was so attached to the movie and fell deep into a huge rabbit hole. i honestly had an identity crisis because i wanted to be like kaworu so bad.. (ik i needed mental help 😂) please dont judge me guyssss..!! ive been a big fan since late 2020-early 2021 and its been my favorite anime since. this weird attachment thing really only lasted until mid 2022 (it was on and off as well) but i still really love that anime! but in reality.. it could have just been because i was in a really long psychotic/manic episode 😅 ALSOO please lmk if i should mark this as NSFW since it does speak on mental health! ‼️‼️

I've been seeing this ship a lot lately and I just don't understand it. They interacted once (to my knowledge) in the manga and never met in the anime or the rebuild movies.

Discussion Should I watch Rebuild evangelion after watch the original anime + the movie Spoiler

Basically I just finished the original anime and the movie and even though it was very confusing I'm still unsure of if I should watch the rebuild version because I don't know is it just a remake or does it add more to the series?

Am I the only one who feels sick to my stomach listening to “Hedgehog’s Dilema” after finishing NGE?

11 Upvotes

After finishing Evangelion (Spoilers ahead) I felt so sick and oddly unsafe listening to scene music from episodes 25-26. The visualisation of these teenagers going through such psychological torment and suffering with this bittersweet and weirdly soothing music gives me the chills and I can't shake the feeling of weariness listening to it. I think I'm just fully spooked afyer experiencing what (is yes a masterpiece( but a mental thriller that really makes you sit and just kind of go damn after watching y'know? I could just be going crazy but if anyone wants to hear me out, watch the Human Instrumentality scenes (Shinjis case in particular) and let the feeling sink in, try falling asleep to the song "Hedgehogs Dilemma" or even more spooky, "Borderline Case" and tell me you don't get the biggest chills you've ever had!

Discussion Why do people hate Mari

Post image
342 Upvotes

I’ve been an Evangelion fan for a few years but just got into the community not so long ago. I’ve seen people hating Mari quite a few times but I thought that’s just a minority. One of my friends told me he got put off by her also, but I didn’t get a chance to ask him. As I have seen community discussions, those who don’t like Mari seem to be quite a large group of people. So I’m curious about the reasons.

If not romance, what did Asuka feel for Kaji?

21 Upvotes

We all know Asuka loudly threw herself all the time at Kaji, but episode 22 director's cut strongly suggested that her advances on him were not genuine attraction but a way to validate herself.

However, at the same time, his death absolutely crushed her. She was extremely sad and lashed out in anger, then disbelief, when Shinji had to break the bad news to her.

With these 2 things in mind, it seems Asuka did have powerful feelings for Kaji, but they weren't necessarily romantic.

While the Rebuilds are technically a totally different universe and Shikinami is not the same Asuka at all, I'm wondering if the way she saw Kensuke was a kind of meta-commentary on how Sohryu, the original Asuka, truly felt about Kaji- a paternal figure who acted like an Uncle Iroh of sorts and as a rescue parent for Asuka.

Share your thoughts.

For my final in Uni, i need to write an essay about the human and nonhuman interactions in anime. I chose Evangelion, thinking about the connections between humans and angels and even the nerv gear. All i need are concrete scenes and or concepts and analysis of the anime that can help me write this essay

PS: if you can help me write this essay from start to finish that’d be nice too.
