Okay! I’m giving NGE another go baby hell yeah!!!!!

Theme song goes SO hard

“Protectors of Humanity” I DONT believe you

“Do I hav your consent” bitch do you have SHINJI’S?

“Your arm only feels like it’s getting hurt” I DONT BELIEVE YOU

Gd idk what it is about the vibes of this show that just put me off like it’s good nothing has happened where I’m like That’s Bad I just. I don’t know! Maybe it just isn’t for me but like I RLY wanna watch it so I’m going to at least get halfway thru this time b4 I decide

Also I think every adult on this show should jump off a fucking bridge

“When I’m in the bath I can only think of the bad things” Hm. Thinking about the setup for commanding one of them robots :-/

I WAS LIKE.......THIS BITCHS VOICE SOUNDS FAMILIAR.......AND ITS HIM....HIIIII LELOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So like is it about sexual maturity. Is that the thing

Love the animation style so fucking much its gorgeous

Ok so Shinji’s dad clearly treats Rei more like she’s his kid rather than Shinji. And Misato said Rei is “awkward at living.” And Shinji’s dad (if I’m understanding correctly) is the overseer of the Evas/research. I Just Think All Of These Things Are Interesting.

So like Rei isn’t human right

Hey. So. Why are they called Evangelions. Because Uh

“The first human” is needed for the human instrumentality project? ......I see.

Am both Asuka and Rei in this scene actually

“What’s your job here?”
“Piloting the EVAs.”
“Wrong. Its to defeat the Angels.”
Wow almost like you’re all treating these children like a means to an end rendering them incapable of understanding the full big picture beyond being used as machines

Asuka fav char

Haha wow that pupal stage Angel sure looks a lot like that image of the first human fun stuff

Okay tentatively. I’m starting to enjoy this show a lot more I think!!!!

Oh that upside down building imagery BIG Utena castle vibes. Thinking.

“Angels. Emissaries of G-d. Our enemies have been given those divine names. But why are we fighting each other?”
“Dont be an idiot! Those weird unexplainable things are attacking us! We need to protect ourselves! It makes perfect sense!”
Child soldier-isms

Real interesting choice of words to have Asuka say Rei is the “holier-than-thou” type

My favorite characters in this show are Caspar FireEmblem and Lelouch CodeGeass

“Science is man’s power.”
“That kind of arrogance is the root of this very tragedy. The Second Impact was only 15 years ago. And this is the result. Our punishment was far too severe.”
LITERALLY CHECKS OFF NOTESAPP THEORY

Also. Wait when they said only 14yos could pilot the EVAs OH I’m so STUPID can it only be kids born after the Second Impact or smth like that????

Furrows brow.

Oh boy the fact that they have to be naked for this test and the word “imitation body” is so eugh.....not having a fun tiWAIT REI’S IMITATION BODYS MOVING FUCK

“You let an Angel infiltrate HQ?” [Looks @ Camera]

“Shut off the alarm. Faulty detectives. Report as such to the council and the government.” Bitch I KNOW what you did

Also wait so much info being thrown at me rn....”that’s a dangerous spot” “yes too close to Adam” and “Sacrifice the geo-front if you must” (HELLO??????) and “001 has top priority sacrifice the other 2 if necessary” AND “IF THE EVAS GET ‘CONTAMINATED’ ALL IS LOST” HM. SURE

Also wait. What the fuck where was Kaji.............eye emoji

“The best way to defeat a target like this, one that’s constantly evolving and correcting its own weaknesses, is to sacrifice oneself with it” [LOOKS @ CAMERA] also oh Misato ur so traumatized

“The ultimate end of evolution is self destruction. Death itself.” I have a headache. Also WAIT did she just say that if the Angel wants to survive through evolution they can force it to coexist w the Magi??? WAIT.......WAAAAAAIT.......HEAD FULL

Ritsuko n Misato..........

Also the personality transplant magi computers are an insane concept but not as insane as the fact that it’s the same basis tech used to make the EVAs

K

ASUKA ASKING SHINJI IF BEING IN THE EVA IS LIKE BEING IN HIS MOTHERS WOMB WHAT AN INTERESTING CHOICE OF WORDS SHOW WRITERS

Actually. What DO we know about Shinji’s mother

“IS THIS A REPEAT OF THAT OTHER TIME? IS IT TRYING TO ABSORB SHINJI?” OTHER TIME???? ABSORB??????????????? ABSORB???????????????? [FRANTICALLY TYPES IN NOTESAPP]

“You’re too fixated on Rei, Ikari” say that shit! Also thinking ab how Rei was able to sync well w 01 but Shinji couldn’t sync w 00.........

“What should we do about that man” Kaji question mark?

UHHHHHHH. UH. UH. UH. UH. UH. UH. UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

/AND/ WE’RE VISITING YUI’S GRAVE THIS EPISODE? AND THERE ARE NO PHOTOS OF HER THAT EXIST AND HER BODYS NOT IN THE GRAVE? “YOU KEEP WHATS IMPORTANT INSIDE OF YOU” LITERALLY BRAIN IS GOING AT A BILLION MILES PER HOUR RN

So true Misato Shinji parallels

Asuka lesbian literally

THE COLOR......THE COLOR INVERSION.....

1. Misato thinking Adam was a fucking Eva the first time she sees it IM SO
2. “What’s the 1st Angel doing here” GEE I FUCKING WONDER

WHAT TJEE FUCK JUST HAPPENED TO SHINJI

This is SO fucking upsetting jesus fuck

“Why are you and Commander Ikari so fixated on Unit 01? What ARE the Evas?” SAY THAT SHIT MISATO also amending a theory I had ab 00 to be ab 01 bc oh that makes so much more sense + Rei synced w it perfectly ohhh I’m so stupid

YOURE AFRAID OF THE SHINJI IKARI INSIDE OF OTHERS’ HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAS THAT HIS MOM

Blood //
I LITERALLY. I SEE. I SEE. WHAT KIND OF MONSTROSITY DID WE REPLICATE ALSO THE WAY IT LOOKS ALMOST LIKE ITS BEING BORN.......H

SHE JUSR SAID THE SAME LINE HIS MOM (????) DID LITERALLY OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. WANT GENDO DEAD

THE FUCKING EVA BLEEDING I CANT DO THIS

Had 2 rewatch the entire second half of this ep bc attntn span got fucked n I missed a bunch of stuff but Jesus fuck this is so. Jesus FUCK.

I THINK ID RATHER DIE THAN HAVE TO KILLNSOMEONE.......THE WHOLE THING W THE EVA BEING CORRUPTED AND DESIGNATED AS THE 13TH ANGEL IS SOOOO.....THEM SEVERING 00’S ARM W/O BREAKING THE NEURAL LINK??? THE FLUID BEING SECRETED BY 03?????

I NEVER WANT TO PILOT AN EVA AGAIN.
THEN GET OUT.
FINE. ILL RETURN TO WHERE YOU LEFT ME.

Restarting this ep bc the ADHD is hitting real bad rn

“I pinned all my hopes, aspirations, and sense of purpose on you. And I know that’s been a burden for you. But we, all of us at NERV, we had to entrust the future to you. Please, Shinji. I hope you understand that.” Misato girl u’ve grown on me but ur still on such thin ice.

“That’s a selfish thing to say” GET HER ASS SHINJI!!!!!!!!

01 REJECTING REI. GENDO SAYING ITS A REJECTION OF HIM. BITCH I KNOW IM@RIGHT AB WHATS GOING ON HERE.

Ok so. This isn’t like a theory it’s just a note I’m making based off how uncomfortable every adult child dynamic in this show makes me. But the whole watermelon bullshit Kaji was saying in the other ep DID sound like a grooming allegory

Does the damage the Impacts do increase w each one that occurs or would humanity b destroyed w a theoretical 3rd Impact bc the 2nd one already wiped out half of mankind

HAVE WATCHED THE END OF THIS EP LIKE 6 TIMES SO MUCH GOING ON RN
- EVA CORE ANGEL CORE
- “SHE’S AWAKENED” WHOS SHE. RHETORICAL QUESTION /I FUCKING KNOW WHO/
- OK SORRY THE AMOUNT OF NEW INFO THOSE LAST 5MINS GIVE US FOR HOW EVAS WORK. STEM BITCHES SUCK

LIKE OKAY SO IM ASSUMING THEY WERE PURPOSEFULLY KEEPING THEM INHIBITED BC THE EVAS R MADE FROM ANGELS (WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE ADAM THERE??) BUT IF 400% SYNCH IS A POSSIBILITY + “LIBERATION” + “AWAKENING” THEN THE FUCKING END GOAL OF EVAS GOES BEYOND DEFEATING THE ANGELS

ALSO SORRY INJUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT BITCH AAAAATE IT. FUCKING. ATE IT.

OH MY GD WAIT. IS GENDO. TRYING TO BRING ON THE THIRD IMPACT????

WAIT OK. SO RMBRING WHEN IT WAS REVEALED RITSUKOS MOMS SELVES WERE INSERTED INTO THE MAGI N SIMILAR TECH WAS USED ON THE EVAS + MY THEORIES AB SHINJIS MOM. LIKE IS IT AB THE MOMS? R THE EVAS MILF NATIONS?

Also the Evas being referred to as humans but also like. That Angel core. Such a broad definition of humanity it’s like everything is the same. Gd. Created By Humans. A Human Will Has Been Infused Into It.

Also the ep title being oral stage I fucking hate Freud

SOMEBODY PLEASE BE KIND TO ME IM FIVHTING SO HARD AND HAVE BEEN FOR SO LONG

THE WHOLE DO YOU WANNA BE ONE WITH ME SEQUENCE. SO. LIKE. RE: HUMAN INSTRUMENTALITY I HAVE THOUGHTS

“DONT YOU WANNA COME BACK SHINJI” “I DONT KNOW” THE WAY HES CURLED UP IN THE FETAL POSITION

SHINJI IF ITS A BOY. REI IF ITS A GIRL.

SO LIKE I WAS RIGHT. BANGS FISTS ON TABLE TELL ME DIRECTLY THAT IM RIGHT

Bro I don’t have time to unpack everything that’s going on w Misato and Ritsuko but I think they’re INSANE

Also wait if I’m right about Yui. But they clearly had a solution to tjat. Did she CHOOSE to stay....

IT IS NOT OUR INTENTIOJ TO CREATE A GD

Me showing this to my mom@and her being like “what the fuck are you talking about” and it’s like IM TINFOIL HATTING MAMÁ!!!!!

THEY LOOK THE SAME

This man accusing Gendo of being connected to the Second Impact say that shit!

“The prototype of a G-d?”
“Would you be interested in foraging a new history of humankind with me?”
Wow just like in The First 15 Lives of Harry August

“You were never comfortable around boys, were you, Ritsuko” HER MOM JUST CALLED HER A DYKE

DONT BE SHY TELL US WHAT THE FREAK ACCIDENT YUI DIED IN WAS

CMON WE R SO CLOSE TO CONFIRMING MY THIRD THEORY HERE PLEASE

DOD MISATO JUST

YA SHE DEFINITELY DID. OKAY

Two seconds into Asuka backstory and this is already horrifying and not fun at all

I WONT CRY ILL BE FINE ILL THINKNFOR MYSELF

“The Evas, all born of Adam. The only way to defeat the Angels is to use what caused the Second Impact.” Wow almost like the people responsible for that are planning another one

Wow I don’t wanna look at. Any of this directly

“When Asuka talks in a different language, she sounds like a different person” :-|

ASUKA GENDER MOMENTS

ASUKA VOICE YOU /ARE/ A DOLL! FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST MET YOU IVE HATED YOU FOR ACTING LIKE A PUPPET!

Also Gd Gd Gd like Asuka’s mom treating a doll like it’s her daughter n neglecting her actual daughter n now Asuka saying that 02 is Her Doll and Has To Do What She Says directly after she talks ab how she never wants to be a mother. But this is the only@motherhood she KNOWS
