Cute

this is a shitpost thread but this is unironically a great scene with nuance behind it that you don't often see in anime

This clip is the gold standard for Tsundere

and then there's the rebuild version...
it's just inferior, like a callback for the sake of having the audience clap at a scene they recognize but without the parts that made it good or meaningful

i love the way eva would shoot scenes like this, the way you see part of toji in the foreground and then the reverse shot is of hi framed by their bodies in the extreme foreground too. it makes the scene feel more living some how, gives it a kind of candid crowded room glimpse feeling.

And Canon

Eva's directing is one of it's strongest points and it's often underlooked

Both are cute

And this clip is the golden standard for menhera

it's night and day how much the worst the storyboarding is here. Or maybe it's just the lack of subtle depression from toji in the rebuild that makes it feel that way

Kenken's wife and boyfriend are so cute...

It's probably the fact that the events that gave depth to this moment (the kiss, toji being selected as unit-04's pilot) straight up don't happen in rebuild

They had sex

Please leave

Nuh uh it was an LCL hallucination

Nope, they had sex

They fucked

They did not
The story doesn't make sense otherwise

I'm confused about how they're supposed to be 14 because I didn't really feel that way about women until I was 17. Is it really normal for japs to undergo early sexual development?

yeah it's probably that, the lack of proper context makes a lot of the recreated rebuild scenes just fall flat

Puberty starts at 12 my guy

Is it really normal for japs to undergo early sexual development?

I think it varies between people at different ages no matter the country. Some of my classmates in 6th grade were more sexually aware than me at the time. It probably depends on the type of home and environment a child grows up in I guess

17 is a bit of a late bloomer
but the cast could be high schoolers and it wouldn't really change much tbf

normal animation
proper direction
forced animation
awkward direction

To be fair, Shinji never actively pursues a romantic or sexual relationship with anybody
It's always forced on him by others
See

My wife is so cute

that's just how shinji tries to handle any kind of social interaction and ambiguity.

Kensuke and Mari's respective spouses do look good separately.

With other people.

Isn't it pretty sad that this psychotic ritualposting and shitting on them are the only contexts where people bring up the rebuilds anymore while the original series is still actively discussed?

the schizo is asleep, no point in baiting rn

Explain this

Miayazaki did say that Anno's main strength was intimate, candid stories

The storyboarding is worse yeah
Idk what nuance this has but it's cute

nice warm colors, art is looser and more expressive imo, tighter shots
in the tv version you can see asuka cocks back and jerks forward into shinji's space to emphasize words (she does this in other eps too) while in the rebuild one she's just kinda jerking back & forth without much of a pattern so it doesnt really emphasize anything in-universe or for the viewer. also the shot before the close shot on her face is static in rebuild but in the tv version you get her leaning forward as shinji shrinks back, good body language, just makes the thing feel more authentic. also its a small detail but i prefer how they have a background unnamed student watching

There's some weird subconscious desires filtering out of your writing anon

get your mind out of the lcl anon

subconcious?

Digital animation has this weird, oversaturated look to it

It's not inherent to the form, it's just incompetence.

I really don't care dude
I'm here to gush about old anime aesthetics and this thread is pretty shitpost free, so maybe keep it that way?

I always love how heavy the Evas feel

the lack of subtle depression

Rebuild is an exercise in removing subtlety from Eva

You're in a obvious shitposting thread made by the schizo. It's gonna turn to shit eventually.

keep it that way

It's already shit

Not really, Rebuild belongs on the trash pile of history

I always loved the name tags in the panties, it emphasises Misato's wo-manchild nature

I don't see a black guys in that image?

Let the two schizos have their homoerotic mating ritual

They nailed the feeling of weight these 70m tall cyborgs should have, specially in EoE where you can see giant chunks of land being flung about from the evas running around

Why isn't school clothing like that anymore?

eva's directing is often underlooked

it's the main reason this series has been talked about as much as it has for almost 30 years
Not as much threads these day as before 4.0 released but it still does pretty good

You know what, I change my mind it's not just that the storyboarding sucks that shot of Rei is so jarring and breaks up cut. There's nothing added from moving Toji's position either since it adds an extra cut to show their reactions to his statements which just makes even more jarring.

feminists and globalists

those are brand logos

Another great thing in that sequence is how the units have slightly different running posture. The attention to body language in the TV is simple but so effective

both animated by the same person

The whole Zeruel episode is a masterclass. Everything from the moment Shinji starts running back to NERV through the Angel Attack theme shutting off as Shinji's power runs out is absolutely flawless. The animation and score are fucking phenomenal
There's so much of Eva which is shown subtly and not told. Even when characters are in the background, they feel real

Asuka borrows Misato's yellow shirt whenever she's out
Ritsuko doesn't wear lipstick when Gendo isn't around
It's the little things that made NGE special

Ritsuko doesn't wear lipstick when Gendo isn't around

Holy shit, really? God, they put so much thought into everything

The shot of Shinji and Kaji in the watermelong fields overlooking Unit 02's beheaded corpse is amazing

Why didn't he just kiss her back, is he stupid?
