(001) Shinji and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. PART ONE
(002) Ooookay. Berserk Eva action is definitely something I'm into. But also damn, Shinji's dad radiates "I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed energy" x1000.
(003) I'm a little confused about the timeline of the Angel appearances, and I also have massive anxiety for everyone who lives in this city with retractable buildings suspended on the ceiling of a bio-done. ALSO WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THE SAFETY ZONE, MY DUDES.
(003 cont) "How do they pick the pilots?"
Must have unchecked rage issues and intense psychological trauma.
Also how is NO ONE concerned/having appropriate reactions to the fact that there are two teens piloting giant organic-mech suits & being super injured all the time?!

(004) "Shinji, how long are you going to stay home from school?"
As long as he damn well wants, Misato!

(004 cont) it's been 3 weeks and Shinji's already dead inside and jaded, telling his boss "whatcha gonna do? Fire me? I am the only one who can pilot Unit 01."
But at least he has friends now, right?
(Narrator: he did, in fact, have friends now, but for how long?)

(005) I'm uncomfortable with the amount of concern & affection Shinji's Pops shows Rei compared to his own son.
Jfc...Shinji can't catch a break...
(006)
(007) am I supposed to like anyone from this show? Because I currently am indifferent to everyone still...
Update: we're still going but it's super difficult. Just let Rei do...something? Anything?
I've decided I like Pen- Pen.
GET IN THE EVA, PEN-PEN

Shinji's dad not keeping a single photo (or at least saying he didn't keep one) because "you keep the important things inside" is infuriating.
Your son was like 2-3 yo when his mom died! Wtf?!

(015) *gets to end of episode* OH WHAT?!
Now we're getting somewhere!

This is why I'm always a little wary of people who are like "yeah didn't grab me in the first three episodes so I'm out. It's boring." Story. Buildup. And. Progression. Is. A. Thing.

....why did no one tell me there was a goth eva? No one. Not one.
Also don't tell me if something bad happens to it. I know something bad is GONNA happen to it. I feel it.

Oh yay! Tohji's gonna be a pilot.
....wait
...........wait
...he's not on any of the pilot merch. OH NO! OH NOO!

Literally me through episode 18
Why do you even have a Remote Pilot Ejector function IF IT NEVER WORKS?!
Y'all....I have buried myself so far into the couch during this episode...I just...wow....um...oof
(019) Shinji and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. PART TWO
I really liked Unit 01 when it went berserk early in the series and I think that's because it seemed like less of a mecha and more of a kaiju. This episode locked thay enjoyment for me.
