Watched 1st episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion
So uh, wanna preface this by saying I have no clue what I'm getting into. The only thing I know about this is the opening song, shinji pose and pool of blood for some reason. That's all the context I have going into this franchise.
And?????? What the heckity heck was episode one.
My review:
I don't like Shinji's father
I don't like shinjis father
I REALLY don't like Shinii's father
Like brother, isn't that your own son???? Even if you're kinda asking him to pilot a mech ans risk his life, ask him nicely???? He would probably do it! He seems like he's hungry for parental approval.
Also, bringing out the Rei girl kinda felt like a verrryyy overt and balant manipulation move. Also. Isn't Rei supposed to be some kind of rare pilot after Shinji, so why the heck when the pannels fell, did people just... Leave her to die by being crushed under debris. Like????? Protect the asset??? And shinji was the one pulling her—excuse me?? I get if you're dehumanizing children—cuz Rei is totally a kid, she looks like one (I dunno I'm one episode in) at least take care of your asset! What the heck were all those people doing?? Watching the show???
Also jesus Christ, someone call the CPS on that man.
Also, shhh Katsuragi, Shinji will cry if he wants to! Let him!
(I kinda wanna post all my thoughts after each episode so when I'm depressed—since this is apparently a depressing anime—I can come back and look at where I was wrong and cringe at it)
Peace out
