    It took me an entire series and 5 movies but I can now definitively say

    Neon Genesis Evangelion is ok. It's fine. It is Not For Me™

    Well it's done.

    We've ruined IronKnuckle's Ghost's favorite series, and wasted 8+ hours of Zonugal's time.

    Evangelion is officially dead forever now. Rest In Piss.

    I'm very happy that we all collectively agreed to lock the Evangelion discord sub-server.

    No more posts in it, ever again.

    Let us never return.

    But now you can finally watch Softenni.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zJy4ZtAPJU

    (You should probably not watch Softenni. It's an honestly fairly funny absurdist slapstick comedy, but extremely high on trashy fanservice. It liked to randomly do Eva scenes for... no real reason, except to be weird.)

    Ritsuko shooting Gendo in the fucking head is extremely satisfying.

    yeah that's an interesting way of looking at it, instead of the monster of the week being the A-plot and the normal people stuff being the B-plot it's reversed

    I'm only about 6 episodes in to the total 24 so it may get more plot heavy as it progresses. It really rushes the mech/kaiju setup at the start and if you stop and think about it it feels half-baked and shallow, but it really kinda isn't the point so far?

    Like, being a Trigger joint you expect a lot of insane over the top action, but since all the real big fights happen with CG mechs and monsters they took their ridiculous animation skills and used it for some really, I dunno, tender? Like, really tenderly animated and subtle moments of characters just leaning against a rail over a pier or something and talking. It's like the reverse of a Sakura moment or whatever the term is for breaking out the big guns to masterfully animate a crazy action scene.

    I dunno. I'm digging it. It feels fresh and like a lot of love went into it.

    Made the mistake of trying to watch another episode of Arc-V, Netflix previously had the first two seasons dubbed and the majority of that was a hate-watch, but I never saw them put the third season out so I stopped.

    Crunchyroll has the subs and nope, still awful pacing and duels, not worth it.

    Arc-v is such an amazing trash fire of a Yu-Gi-Oh series. "But you still take the damage!".

    EVANGELION IS BAD

    What did they say? What happened?

    *Looks upon your gaunt, haggard faces and your thousand-yard stares*

    Uhhh, you know what, I'm gonna give y'all some time... and space... y'know, to decompress, rest... Heal...





    Um, whenever you feel up to it, I put a sketch-comedy video about Evangelion watching in the spoilers? It's by LoadingReadyRun? It echoes y'all's posts a little bit?

    It might help you cope.

    To be fair Ging also told his friends "hey, if you ever meet my son, try as hard as you can to murder him. Don't worry, he can take it. He's my son after all."

    Though I agree Gendo is way way worse.

    Unrelated but this cool Japanese lady I just met offered to cook me dinner as long as I dont look in the kitchen

    If there's anything I learned from old fairy tales, myths, and legends it's that when the kindly mystical woman offers to do you a solid in exchange for following some simple instructions then you follow those instructions to the letter.

    I'd also add Genma to the list of all time bad anime dads, just for the cat fist training alone, though there's even more than that.

    Politely is the key here. Being rude to mystical fairy tale women is at least as bad not following instructions.

    So I canceled Funimation (still have this month left, already paid) and started Crunchyroll. Today, I decided to give something on Crunchyroll a shot since I finished Star Wars: Visions last week. (Using the Xbox app) I queued up episode 1 of a recent popular show and... error. "Lol, we can't play this for reasons."

    Tried the same show on Funi and successfully watched the episode in question there. This is... an ill omen, I seem to recall a similar situation happening the last time I tried this service. Just to see, I'll try the Crunchyroll episode on Xbox again after work (and on Switch, why not).

    I actually went and cancelled my CR account the other day cause I haven't really used it since Demon Slayer ended, and most of the Funi content added is stuff I've already seen, or dub only with no captions so I miss a lot of dialog. I'll give them a few months to build up content again or something.
    Also left a big long note in the feedback thing about the lack of captions and awful UX in the app.

    My experience has pretty much been the opposite, at least until I got an Xbox Series X and PS5. Haven't had many problems since then with only the rare occurrence of Funimation getting hung up on ads.
