ok so how do I speedrun Evangelion

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

do I watch the original, the ADV English dub, the Netflix one, maybe in Spanish or in funy coast language?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

til Rosalía did an Asuka cosplay back in 2022 and life just isn’t the same

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

fascinating to see that press articles have been written about how the only good way to watch Evangelion in Catalan is piracy https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/cultura/rosalia-evangelion-catala_914082_102.html

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

(yep, that’s Rosalía)

Yo no soy y ni voy a ser tu bizcochito
Pero tengo to' lo que tiene delito
Que me pongan en el sol, que me derrito
El mal de ojo' que me manden me lo quito
Yo no soy y ni voy a ser tu bizcochito
Pero tengo to' lo que tiene delito
Que me pongan en el sol, que me derrito
El mal de ojo' que me manden me lo quito
Ta-ra-rá, ta-ra-rá, ta-tá
Ta-ra-ra-ta-tá (Me lo quito)
Ta-ra-rá, ta-ra-rá, ta-tá
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta-tá (Que me manden mе lo quito)

On the one hand, the Netflix version feels more consistent and professionally done. This tracks, since ADV did their original dub on a budget of eight cents and a packet of Top Ramen seasoning found in Spike Spencer’s glove compartment

huh

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ah right, the Shinji-Kaworu bath scene, that’s an important one

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ok I think I’m just going sub

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

I think you don’t get it quite right, I mean, if they’re saying “onii-chan” in the audio, then I would like to see that in the subtitles, instead of something like “Big Bro”

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

All releases have issues, pick your own poison.

:blobcatpopcornsweats:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

Episode 16 looks bad in all releases due to lost masters.

. . .

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

apparently if you want to go the legally mainstream way, Netflix it is

if you go for the legally ambiguous one, it’s probably vanner64

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

a lot of storage to clean up

a lot of homework I don’t want to delete

actual homework………… you baka……………

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

considering wiping a lot of system packages to just use Nix or whatever gaygayhomosexualgay fork that succeeds it

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

Package (536)

did someone at Arch just do meth or

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

………what the hell is the “Akshay Warrier” Flatpak

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ah right, it must be Biblioteca, ok

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

oooo shiny chart,

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

seeing the Cruel Angel Thesis intro on fullscreen with a clean, sharp image

just hits soooooooooooooooooo different

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

come to think of it… the aesthetic really seems out of nowhere, doesn’t it? wasn’t anime simply stylized more softly and roundly as a general norm until this point?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

if they wanted to make the hardest-hitting aperture of all time

they sure did

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

how are there 26 whole episodes of this thing

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

whatever I end up concluding of the show itself, I cannot help but admire how obviously groundbreaking it was

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

using color gradients bleeding through Shinji’s red face? brilliant way to represent the strongest pain you’ve ever felt

…..still a ton for chapter 2…..

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

……and then, it changes so abruptly…….

……..it’s, perfect

and they made sure this is just an intro to the actual plot

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

the pacing might have been too much for the mid 90s tho

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ah right

trying to make out with Shinji

haha such a hilarious joke, what a mischievous little prank~

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ok yup, that’s Misato :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache: :blobcatgooglyheadache:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ok this is going too quickly and I’M the one saying it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

every single cultural/Christian reference feels like a trap

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

I love the idea of not being sure of what ŧhe concept of a “hedgehog” even is

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ok genocide-supporting search engine how normal is it to cry over episode 3 enter

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

being able to (kinda) read the episode title cards only makes the aesthetic cooler, being weeb goodgood~ :blobcatflower:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

it’s so weird to see Mitsubishi and Sony and JR on an anime

like, seriously, is there any other anime that has such heavyweight brands on them? were they ads or?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

A little thing I appreciate is how they use blur and noise to simulate things like CRT video and low light scenery… combined with daring to make scenes as simple as silhouettes when called for it….

like, you’d think it’s the most basic kinds of tools for setting a mood, but…

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ah, poor innocent 90s Japan, even after the harsh strike to their nationalistic hearts this anime still has maglevs happening in 2015

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

no PC at paw, time to binge Evangelion

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

if you don’t have a SEGA Saturn can you even call yourself a weeb

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….wHY IS THIS ANIME SO OBSESSED IN MAKING REI INTO A SEXUAL OBJECT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

episode 7’s plot feels forced

…..damn, does Gendō have a hell of an ego tho

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

main issue I have is that the solution had to be that

otherwise, yeah

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

I love the idea of some stereotypical-looking buffed up US pilots just standing in there doing nothing but statically posing and smiling for a whole 10 seconds

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…episode 8 so far also feels like it has too many convenient things going on

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

yeah :sadcowboy:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

TRANS SHINJI
TRANS SHINJI

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…really don’t know why Asuka is letting him in… wouldn’t that cause interference?

why do I feel that this is gonna lead to very obvious results? like, very convenient, totally counterintuitive results?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….those boats should DEFINITELY not stay quiet and afloat….

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…l,lewd…………. :myonblush:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

This really is valuable

hmmmmmmmm, what a time for very convenient, totally counterintuitive results, wouldn’t that be a funny thing to happen

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

Gendō really vibin with that god complex :blobcatsip:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

can I say

this “anime focusing on teenager-piloted bodies and synchronization” thing kinda reminds me of relationships for some reason

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…of course they took a shot of her drinking from the upside-down tap that totally doesn’t look like something else

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….and then I saw the others shots, right…..

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

oh hey that’s a cute Studio Fantasia injoke

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

two 14 year olds with a totally-not-love-hate relationship being roommates in their horny boss’ apartment, what could possibly go wrong :blobcatfluffowo:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

Asuka is the least German German I have ever seen

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

how to make Asuka a believable character:

  1. she was born to an SF family
xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

hmmm yes, very well known Japanese tradition, “having schools with exams evaluated by rate of answer correctness via scores” 🇯🇵🪭🎎🏯👺

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

wHY
THE HELL

IS THIS SCENE GOING THAT WAY

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ah, I get it, Asuka honry Rei affectionate suresure

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….what’s the point of making Asuka fat, other than to annoy her?????? like, HELLO her head is completely lacking any protection??????????????

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

I like how she’s still talking in Japanese despite Shinji not being in there anymore

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

lesbian scene to make Shinji hard,

check

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…they should try harder with these…

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….Asuka making depressed bland totally-a-cis-guy indirectly choose between her and Rei, rightright….

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

SHE SAID THE THING

ASUKA SAID “BAKA”

:letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo: :letsgooooooooo:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

Misato and Shinji getting closer

….oh no….

…………it’s becoming a thing………..

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

OH
MY
GOSH

IS THE VOICE FOR THE JR TRAINS IN EVANGELION THE EXACT SAME ONE AS THE ACTUAL TRAINS??????????????????????????????????

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

LIKE OH MY GOSH, IT’S SPOT ON????????????

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

am: a little bit gay for train stuffs and details, dunno x3

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…which is weird because I never dug into the actual machinery…

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

amazing how Evangelion predicted that weebs would still write C++ in 2015

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…she,

might be a lesbian….

:myonblush:

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

wait,

MAGI IS LITERALLY THE THREE KINGS?????

THEY’RE CALLED MAGI IN ENGLISH??????????

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…why,

are they trying to measure the harmonics of the three of them

all at once

going naked??????????????????????

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…cute how they only designed Unit-01 to hide the hips and crotch…

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

……why is there now Windows code for opening a file and drawing a window?????????????????????????????

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ok the 11th Angel is a pretty cool idea, good job

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

oh and now there’s assembly and it actually tries to look like stacks? whoever did this is definitely not into programming but sure as hell tried to preserve the vibe

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ok the key shutdown thing should have DEFINITELY worked, what’s up with that

also why are they saying evolution’s final goal is death…. I mean it’s more like, “whoops I became cancer and then a metastasis and I’m about to kill everyone and everything”, as in, definitely not intended?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…who the hell knows what that program was supposed to do… maybe overtake the organic DMA or whatever…?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

this episode was so gender

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

What are your first impressions of Unit 01, Rei?

that segment hurt

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…….Shinji said the same thing……..

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…what is Rei hiding…

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

uh

what, does a percentage even mean for a schedule delay?

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO HUG HER I’LL TAKE IT I’LL TAKE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ASDJHKLSDFJHFKDSJHFDKJHFKJDSHJKFSKFSDL

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

Always remember, “Happy wife, happy life”

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

probably my main issue with Evangelion so far is how obsessed it is with the duality of “man” and “woman”

but can you blame it

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

……………o,

kay,

what the hell is that all about, Asuka…?????????????

18+ xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…how dare you take his first kiss if there wasn’t love in it…

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….you also take the whole normative womanhood thing seriously only to do that….

xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

…..did you only do that because you couldn’t take Kaji’s???? is that it?????? are you so stupid???????? and you go and call Shinji stupid all the time???????????

18+ xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

ah,

that’s a good reveal to end on,

and it is not all that surprising

18+ xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

….maybe there was more to it and I misunderstood her….

18+ xerz,
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one avatar

uhm, maybe this is my autism at play

but what did that scene with Shinji pressing the palm of his hand mean? did I miss something?

lanodan,
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me avatar

@xerz Reminds me of how so far I've found few things in Breton via torrents or random stuff on youtube but actually buying that stuff? Nope. (Likely because of limited licences…)

lanodan,
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me avatar

@xerz Doesn't sounds like a great idea…

(That said I should rewatch Rebuild and End here)
