11.27.18 | I've never seen it but I've always wanted to, thanks for posting. I like some classic anime, not a ton of newer stuff, but this has always been on my list of shows to check out due to its critical acclaim |
mrdogthrow

11.27.18 | lol of course that's a thing |
killerK1
11.27.18 | glad they're putting the ending movie on there too |
artiswar
11.27.18 | I just read a piece about Anno and he apparently went through another long horrible depression during the making of the most recent movie which is part of why it took forever to come out. The last movie is apparently scheduled for 2020. |
Underflow
11.27.18 | Didn't even know there was another one. |
Get Low
11.27.18 | The continuation of the movies and other bullshit after the original anime series became so complicated that I lost interest in the series. |
Shuyin
11.27.18 | remember, episode 25 and 26 are non canon, you need to watch the movie instead. the manga is the best imo |
Underflow
11.27.18 | Hot take right there |
Get Low
11.27.18 | Did they ever complete the manga, or did the author do what every other manga creator does and take a five year break after each chapter? |
Shuyin
11.27.18 | yeah they did, dont know when the final volume was released, i bought mine a few months ago. its easier to follow the story in the manga |
killerK1
11.27.18 | yea the ending in the series sucked but the true ending movie was really good. excited to watch again. |
Lucman
11.27.18 | Yes!!! Definitely watching as soon as it's up. |
Shuyin
11.27.18 | Did you know that the director of the movie got death threats from fans that didn't like the "true" ending? Some people are just weird
I remember when reading Rurouni Kenshin that some fans sent letters with blades to the author because they didn't like how he depicted Saito |
StallionMang
11.27.18 | FUCK yes |
TheCharmingMan
11.28.18 | U guyz this is the greatest anime of all time u GOTTA c it |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | 10/10 series (NGE and TEOE, fuck that Rebuild shit). But I already watched it many times so uh... More people will watch it now I guess, that's good. |
Underflow
11.28.18 | lol totally forgot about Rurouni Kenshin. That show was awesome. |
Dewinged
11.28.18 | Best anime ever made. |
StallionMang
11.28.18 | btw any1 who talks shit on eps 25 and 26 can catch a beatdown, shits is fire |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | [2] |
killerK1
11.28.18 | beat me down daddy original ending sucked. didnt stop the show from being 10/10 just enjoyed the movie ending better |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | Get out. |
killerK1
11.28.18 | eh i guess sucked is a little strong. just wasnt satisfying for how epic the rest of the show was. |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | NGE isn't epic. |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | Also, EoE just kinda complements the last two episodes, at least from my perspective. I'm not sure if people would really understand EoE if they don't watch 25 and 26. |
StallionMang
11.28.18 | eoe ending is 100% better and near perfect but there was still something so satisfying about seeing every character get picked apart and be FINALLY forced to come to terms with themselves |
killerK1
11.28.18 | it was epic to me. and i agree with your last part. |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | The TV series and EoE are both perfect, not just near perfect. |
killerK1
11.28.18 | either way im glad they're putting them all on and not just the series. |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | Yeah, it would honestly make no sense to just have the series, people would be missing an important part. |
StallionMang
11.28.18 | i do worry if the first half of the show is gonna hold up as much as the second upon rewatching it, not bc it's bad at all but just bc of how drastically it went from good to infuckincredible |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | Eh, I've watched NGE a good amount of times, it's always fantastic. |
artiswar
11.28.18 | It does hold up. The way it transitions from the first half to the second is a big part of what makes it so special.
...Also, the 3 Rurouni Kenishin live-action films are fucking phenomenal. |
J() Alexander
11.28.18 | It does hold up. The way it transitions from the first half to the second is a big part of what makes it so special. [2] |
Flugmorph
11.28.18 | this is a good thing.
finally the world gets to witness the best animated series of all time. rejoice normies, for you can now enjoy the crippling depression of existentialism with this work. |
DungeonBoy
02.03.20 | Okay wonderful! So I was able to finish this show last night thanks to Netflix. It gets mad weird at the end, like the last two episodes.. There's a part where Shinji is like, I CAN DO IT, and everyone starts clapping for him, and i'm sitting here like, wtf did I just watch? |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | congratulations |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.03.20 | N'aww the Shinji headspace episodes
What happened to the other NGE Netflix thread :O |
SteakByrnes
02.03.20 | Shinji choked it out |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | n'aww
Like 'aww', but more condescending. |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.03.20 | Like aww but cuter - sometimes condescending but not always!
Shinji's neuroses are in the category of things you can be uncondescendingly cute about I feel
maybe |
DungeonBoy
02.03.20 | what do I watch next? |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | Not anime. |
rellik009
02.03.20 | Not SAO. |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | Wait... no. Watch 'The End of Evagelion', and then not anime. |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.03.20 | or watch Lain (after End of Eva)
and then watch Fate/Zero |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | Those shows are better than eva, but still watch not anime. |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.03.20 | Lol, my anime gameplan is to alternate it with Terrace House for a *broader worldview !* and Experience of television
hasn't let me down yet |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | lol. |
SteakByrnes
02.03.20 | Watch uhhh
Anime |

02.03.20 | watch sports or 24 or seinfeld, forget about anime |

GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | This is somewhat true. |
bloc
02.03.20 | Been watching Yugioh 5D's and it's incredible. I'm surprised so many people rank it low among the other Yugioh shows. It's easily better than GX. |
Nomos2
02.03.20 | Ended up binging this thing (Netflix versions + EoE) mid last month. What in god's name. So this is why I'd seen various bits of it turned into memes over the years on the internet. What.
It started out as run of the mill cringe-worthy anime, but I was shocked with how good the cinematography was even in the first episode.
Then it started to get into a groove...and then lost it? Some new girl was introduced just to cause more cringeworthy forced sexual frustration? And then it turned into a blur, I think I smoked too much weed while watching these. And then the world and the characters all began to go downhill and things kept getting more desperate and sad and before I knew it, I'd watched the whole series and the movie begins with him splooging on his hand and he just deteriorates from there. Cue nightmare visuals and despair for 90 minutes.
Guys what the fuck did I just watch? I went and read the explanations behind everything and I'm still in a daze.
There's a reason I stick to Akira and Ghost in the Shell when it comes to anime.
anime: never again |
DungeonBoy
02.03.20 | wait, so EoE or no? Am I done with NGE after the series or is it worth the additional content? |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | It's worth the "additional content". |
bobbydylan
02.03.20 | watch EoE or perish. |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | : ( |
SteakByrnes
02.03.20 | watch EoE or perish [2] |
DungeonBoy
02.03.20 | yikes, i'll just watch it okay |
Shuyin
02.03.20 | "Akira and Ghost in the Shell"
The best anime you'll ever see, agreed |
GhandhiLion
02.03.20 | But Angels Egg |
rellik009
02.04.20 | hey why hasn't Ergo Proxy been mentioned yet
|
JohnnyoftheWell
02.04.20 | angels egg [2] |
Shuyin
02.04.20 | "hey why hasn't Ergo Proxy been mentioned yet"
Texhnolyze too, damn I need to watch it again sometime |
AnimalsAsSummit
02.04.20 | Angels Egg, End of Evangelion, and Jin-Roh are the best animes of all time |
GhandhiLion
02.04.20 | And Cowboi hard bop |
Uzumaki
02.04.20 | Oof. Jin Roh is a hard [2] from me. That, and Sword of the Stranger...
I can also throw behind Ergo Proxy, Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. |
Shuyin
02.04.20 | Oh yea, Jin Roh has hard feels. Uzumaki one of the best mangas too :D |
DungeonBoy
02.04.20 | pokemon too! |
bloc
02.04.20 | Yugioh is easily one of my all time favourites. Wicked City is good too |
Nomos2
02.04.20 | Shit you just reminded me I have both Akira and Uzumaki to read still. Uzumaki I got partway through 4 years ago and then went nuts looking up Ito's other works and forgot about it. Akira is phenomenal so far, the detail in these drawings is insane. I'm getting to where it about peaked in the movie, but I can tell there's lots left. |
GhandhiLion
02.04.20 | Yugioh abridged is good. |
bloc
02.04.20 | Duel Monsters bro |
Shuyin
02.04.20 | I've been reading Akira again, bought the boxset on Amazon for half the price. It's different in tone from the movies but DAMN, is it good. Uzumaki is even better imo, I liked it way more than Gyo or Tomie, but if I were to name the horror manga that I loved the most then it would be Parasyte, no contest, that series is untouchable. In cyberpunk my favourite so far is Blame!, read volume 2 (master edition) while listening to the new Blade Runner OST and it was the best decision ever |
Nomos2
02.04.20 | Whooooah I love the art style just from googling it! Blame, that is. Very cool. |
SteakByrnes
02.05.20 | Parasyte is the best manga/anime ever imo, I love it so much |
Lucman
02.05.20 | A moment of silence for Migi. He was a great guy. |
SteakByrnes
02.05.20 | Migi is the ultimate homie |
Shuyin
02.05.20 | Yeah, the art for Blame! is super cool, Nihei studied architecture so he can draw believable buildings even in a fantasy scenario. ALSO you can see just how much better he gets from book to book, the difference from volume 1-2 is huge
"Migi is the ultimate homie"
Migi is the GOAT |
rellik009
02.05.20 | Blame! is the shit, jesus christ the first time you read it you're confused af and then you're like "this is a mastapeece"
Also boys, any Gantz fans in here? |
Shuyin
02.05.20 | I got a few volumes but haven't read any of them yet. The art looks dope and I saw a lot of boobs when browsing the pages, which is always nice. Yea, for a moment I though I fucked up and bought some hentai manga instead |
Pheromone
02.05.20 | Probably way too late for this thread, but the movie is one of the greatest of all time. One of those films which definitely lived up to expectation. I've been sort of wary to check out anything which came out after it, however. Is it worth it? |
rellik009
02.05.20 | Shuyin yeah, watch out if it's your first read
there is a lot of very edgy, borderline stuff in Gantz. It's not classified under seinen for no reason. But, after a while, if you see past that, you'll be able to appreciate the craziness of the scenario, the characters, the psychological facets, the grandeur, the game-like story and so on. The manga is quite divisive though so I can't blame you if you hate it. Of course, it's especially important to have different levels of reading here, but, in the end, it's still up to you. |
bobbydylan
02.05.20 | I'd also recommend Serial Experiments Lain. (and Gantz is awesome.) |
SteakByrnes
02.05.20 | Bro I watched the first two or three episodes of Gantz and hated it lol, my friend likes it a lot and showed it to me |
rellik009
02.05.20 | The Gantz manga >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Gantz anime adaptation
no seriously the anime adaptation is trash, the original manga is the only legitimate version of Gantz |
Uzumaki
02.05.20 | The anime adaptation of Gantz sucks ass only because of the ending they gave it. The live action adaptations are better than the anime, but yeah, the manga is interesting once you get past all the nudity. |
SteakByrnes
02.05.20 | I'll give the manga a go then, I'm hoping it's a lot better because the anime was garbage |
rellik009
02.05.20 | you're probably going to be disappointed if you miss the subtle things which will give you a better understanding of the manga
not to sound condescending or pretentious, but this manga is extremely divisive BECAUSE of this deep analytical side
|
Shuyin
02.06.20 | The manga is cheap atm, the omnibus volumes are around £19.00 each on Amazon and each includes 3 normal volumes, not a bad deal at all. I've got the first 3 and the paper quality is decent enough |
Lucman
02.06.20 | "Probably way too late for this thread, but the movie is one of the greatest of all time. One of those films which definitely lived up to expectation. I've been sort of wary to check out anything which came out after it, however. Is it worth it?"
The End of Eva is just mindblowing. I don't think I've felt so empty than at the end of that. I haven't seen the rebuilds yet, though I've heard they focus more on the mech battles than the show, which I'm not too interested in personally. |
rellik009
02.06.20 | my brother bought the entire Gantz series in Japan...
guess what the price for the whole series is. |
SteakByrnes
02.06.20 | I just use an app to read all my manga lol |
DungeonBoy
02.06.20 | Hey guys, thanks so much for the helpful suggestions, just watched End of Evangelion last night. It was.. umm.. it was weird. I don't know are we supposed to hate Shinji? and also, it seemed like some sort of alternate ending to the other ending we saw in the series? The scenes where the white Evas go nuts and Shinji fuses with Rea after she fuses with Adam are nuts. But then what everyone dies? or doesn't? |
Deathconscious
02.06.20 | Shinji fucked up, shouldve kept humanity in the unified state. |
gryndstone
02.06.20 | End of Evangelion is known for being open to a lot of interpretation, but the lense that it's best viewed through is that Hideki Anno hated otaku/fanboys and was also coming out of depression. In the show, Shinji is the author's depression represented, where as in the movie he also represents otaku culture.
The plot and science behind the world doesn't matter. It's about the characters. I know, it's frustrating.
And yeah, it's arguably an alternate ending? The whole idea of 25 and 26 is obviously that they're taking place in Shinji's head, which makes End of Evangelion the lead up to that. But his reason for undoing instrumentality in the movie is a bit more cynical, and so we end up with that uh, uncomfortable final scene. |
Pheromone
02.06.20 | @Luc same here. I probably will just leave it then as I'm not huge into mech-battle action stuff seperate from the series |
DungeonBoy
02.06.20 | idiot Shinji! |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.06.20 | That final End of Eva scene is the second best bit in the whole series
the best is every Misato beer scene. |
Pheromone
02.06.20 | anyone seen Texhnolyze ? |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.06.20 | No but it's somewhere around the middle of my not-huge list |
Pheromone
02.06.20 | I need to watch it again but in terms of pure fuckiness it might have Eva beat. Though Eva >>> |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.06.20 | I've got a few episodes of Haibane Renmei left, so might power through that and check it in advance of my Lain rewatch, to keep things on the same track |
Pheromone
02.06.20 | Ah man, I fucking love that show. Pure bliss that |
Pheromone
02.06.20 | Though its honestly been like 5 years since i watched any of these (bar Eva last year) |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.06.20 | Ikr aha, I get this weird relaxed feeling every time I watch an episode that keeps me happy for weeks until I feel like watching another! Have been going at it ultra slowly |
Shuyin
02.06.20 | "anyone seen Texhnolyze ?"
It's not on Lains level in terms of mindfuckery but its still great. I need to watch these again
"I just use an app to read all my manga lol"
Nothing beats a book
"guess what the price for the whole series is."
Honestly I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure that we get screwed price wise here in Europe and the Americas |
rellik009
02.06.20 | "we get screwed price wise here in Europe and the Americas"
you're quite right, highest price(for the whole series in Japanese) is around 179 dollars, and the cheapest price is 60 dollars.
