I've been waiting 15 years for this hug

From 1984 until the release of EVA, there was always a trend away from "traditional" animation styles in highly praised Japanese animation.

Miyazaki animation has gained mainstream popularity for deliberately removing the lolicon and hard sci-fi settings as amply demonstrated in his earlier works "Conan the Future" (1978) and "Castle in the Sky" (1986). Otaku techniques like these;

Otomo Keyang's "Akira" is heavily influenced by the style of American comics and is far from the style of native Japanese animation. It can only be said to be animation rather than Japanese animation;

Oshii Mamoru's "Ghost in the Shell" has a stern and serious literary style, showing the ideas of cyberpunk and contemporary academia, eliminating the mortal elements in typical animations, and using some "tricks" to attract overseas audiences (such as asking U2 and Brian Eno made ED), the result is still not pure Japanese animation.

And "EVA" is a thorough Japanese animation, not only including the typical otaku culture with robot settings and beautiful girls and killing must die, Anno also made many spoofs of animation, sci-fi movies or comics from the 1970s to the 1980s (such as source Don's clothes are a spoof of "Space Battleship Yamato"), and references to multiple animations (for example, the final episode of "EoE" is a tribute to "Legend of Titan").

15 years have passed.

Anya Hideaki no longer needs a deviant work to prove his maverick

. He is married. I want to emphasize the social attributes and emotional outlook of people in the new work.

In this work , we no longer see thick conspiracy theories and

pretentious lines



What we saw was shinji's final rush for the crown and anger.

We knew that time was running out, and we understood that all this was illogical, but when shinji finally pulled out the rei, it was all worth it.

We no longer need a bum who can only escape, we no longer need an impotent man who can only jerk off, and we no

longer need others to teach us how to doubt society, how to doubt life

, and stand up for the life we ​​want!

"It doesn't matter what I become, it doesn't matter what the world becomes, but I have to save Limbo"

"Even if I don't drive an eva, I want Ikari to live a happy life" The

doll has changed into a girl who can express her heart, we all I once liked her coldness, her vague maternal warmth

but time has changed everything, oh, it means that

there is no longer time to doubt anything about our changes, there is no time to escape, time has passed. We grow bigger, throw us into the society, and assign us social roles.

If we continue to sit and talk, or think hard, it will only occupy our tired life, so this time Lao An uses the change of roles to tell us

to think for you immediately. Do what you want!



The eva made

15 years ago is a masterpiece, so let it continue to stand in the Garden of Eden and examine all beings, let's make it up by ourselves!

Thank you Laoan, I still know how to bury the pit dug,

thank you Xineva , thank

you very much

  • Unit-01 Dummy Plug System: [during start-up, in reverse] Freedom is an illusion. All you will lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for human pride as to be dominated by others of your species.
