>Normalfags have colonised EVA
I haven't watched it in years, (possibly decades now), but IIRC isn't Shinji a stand-in for the type of people who were watching it at the time?

Also IIRC there's a lot of fanservice in it, how do normies get past that? Hell, I remember watching that "recent" anime film about the boy who swaps bodies with a succubus and there's the same boob grabbing in it three times, yet the movie was a big hit with the normies.

Just keep watching it for as far as you can stand it. You don't have to finish it if you don't enjoy it anymore.
I say this as one who finished the entire series, the 1997 End of Eva film, and all the Rebuild films.

End of Evangelion just shows how much of a pretentious fag Hideki Anno is.

The show doesn't really start gaining momentum and becoming the clusterfuck it is famous for, until like episodes 12-13, i.e, the second half of the show is the outstanding one. The initial mini Rei Arc and Shinji finding his place in this new life are interesting, but the first half is mostly a "monster of the week" show.
I would advice to keep watching but If you are finding it unbearable, of course you don't have to force yourself to watch anything.

>>44285
>Shinji being a shy loser that gets bullied by everyone including his father
Well, that's mostly the point of Evangelion. If you can't relate to or at least understand Shinji's plight or any other character mental problems, you won't enjoy it and that's fine. Crosses, angels and other stuff are there for adding a mysterious element to the show and generating a sense of impending doom that worsens the mental state of the characters. It is mostly an aesthetic thing but the focus on blood, sex, individuality, fear of death, etc deepens the message of the show

>>44455
> I mean, how are normalfags supposed to be able to relate to Shinji?
They mostly hate him since they just watch shonen slop. Otherwise, they pretend to understand him but a man behaving like that irl, of course would produce them utter disgust

>End of Evangelion just shows how much of a pretentious fag Hideki Anno is.
Really? I think it really elevates the TV series and it is the peak of the entire franchise. It is wonderfully directed and there are no gratuitous elements. For instance, Shinji breaking like this in the elevator after Misato just died in his arms while apocalypsis is taking place outside and he has to face that shit alone now, made me intensely relate to him. It is cringe to project your personal stuff in a fucking anime series, I know, but for instance, I feel like that when my dad died and I was forced to being a wagecuck for supporting my family while being a turbo autist > I mean, how Post too long.

oh, I wish I could draw as well as some people. I've tried this but it isn't for me I think, cannot do it well :(
I see how people draw with so much admiration

Chie and a table I designed. It has a weighted base.

>>44508
This is a really cute Chie! The table looks useful too

>>44508
Most talented wizard here, very cute!

I've thought the Kumano Kodo and Shikoku pilgrimages worth doing ever since I heard about them, but the logistics of having to make reservations at inns in advance means I'll never attempt them.

>>44502
this?

>>44503
how does it affect your relationship dynamics if you give her your mana or withhold it from her?

>>44503
You saying that lead me to jerk off with 3d porn. Sorry.
Now, I am dirty until the afternoon

>>44505
*led

>>44504
It's a fun game we play when I make her work for it. Withholding the most potent mana makes her act more bratty and demanding. She always wins in the end though, even if it takes days of persistent pestering.

>>44500
>pouring your mana into a public cum gutter instead of feeding it to your own loli demon
What a waste. This demon is like a daughter to me, I love her dearly; and she at least pretends to love me, which is as good as any man can hope for in this world.

>>44500
no how is it contradictory at all it's not in the least the same it's literally the exact opposite wtf lmao

>>44507
that's such a beautiful and heartwarming relationship you have wiz!

>>43654
normies are willing to spend TRILLIONS (in unrealized profits) just to board up their senses from otaku trolls, kek

Hello wiz, are you still around here? I hope so! How are you? What anime are you watching now? Im watching Lucky Star to relax a bit.

Sometimes I feel the same as you with the anime.

>>44495
Shut up

I have never watched dragon ball. They always play at the same time as other cartoons on sunday morning in my country.

>>43708
AND THIS…IS…TO GO…EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>43707
One of those animus I used to enjoy watching on YTV back in the day along with Inuyasha. I think it was on Bionix?

it was second only to Pokemon in terms of Japanese influence on my childhood, will always love it even if its very dumb, it never lost its heart (well, untill Dragon Ball Super but I consider all that non-canon)

>>43714
> I consider all that non-canon)
You cannot do that, it's canon and you must take it whether you want or not

you can watch tv shows at 1.5x speed, playing games takes more time

It was a Kinnikuman and Hokuto no Ken year for me. I recently got into Lupin III. I like old stuff because I can doze off easily.

>>44489
Lol I never whathed that before

>>44490
Yeah it's like Tiger Mask x9000!

>>44491
King?

I was wondering what happened to him. Will he have continued living like that? I felt some shame for him when I watched the documentary, he seemed so lonely.

Has anyone any recent news about him?

>>44484
What do you think?

>>44486
Sadly, I think the same as you

TouHou fan material makes up like less than 10% of anything at Comic Market now. Reiteisai is still 99.99% TouHou.

>>26874
>the series like I do?
how do you do this?

>>27376
well hey there are hundreds of both remilia and flan being really thin and cute. i bet someone would even be able to post them in this very thread i

I never really got or understood the appeal of Touhou, what is it even all about to begin with?

>>44457
First and foremost, ZUN - the guy behind Touhou Project - is really open to fanart artists, AS OPPOSED TO big corpo companies that would sue you now or sue you later over a piece of fanart being used for commercial puurposes. ZUN is okay with artists making money on fan works as long as the fan artists avoid the confusion with the original works.

ZUN's own games are of a kind hardly anyone makes anymore, too. Think of GRADUS, RAIDEN II or some other top-down shooter where 1 fast plane destroys lots of slow enemy planes and clases with huge flying fortresses as boss fights… but replace the planes with magicians, fairies, yo-kai and alike

Also, the characters were mostly based on traditional Japanese folklore (kitsunes, tengus, rokurokibi)

Also, 99% succibi cast.

Hmmm does anyone else feel the same way i do that colored manga is so disgustig?

>>44422
No, you're kinda right on that. That's a big reason why I can't stand western comics. Fugly shite. But more importantly, Jojo in general is fucking ugly (I assume OP is talking about JoJo).

Korean manhwas are more cinematic though.

>>44412
> is it really that good as people say?
You'll only know that by reading the manga. You cannot avoid all the bad stuff. :3

>>44423
>That's a big reason why I can't stand western comics.
I just have that color issue with mangas but in comics it looks nice to me, at least from what i've seen. In comics it is more variable, but generally it's fine.
