Ya mama is a robot
Aug. 23rd, 2007 11:34 pmI don't like mecha. Even classics in the genre overwhelm me, especially if it's all about the politics (hi Sunrise series!). I've given some a chance if they're unusual enough, but normally... unless it's stuff mixed with other genres, like Magic Knight Rayearth, I can't get into mechas.
However, there's one exception to the rule. Yes, I'll be the first one to tell you it's overrated, and the fanservice is a bit too much, and the creator is as batshit as the fanboys that worship this.
But people, I loved Neon Genesis Evangelion. I was around 16 when I met it, and it marked my transition from adolescence to adulthood (...or whatever it is that I am now O_o) like whoa. I can't remember the whole details of my graduation act, but I do recall watching EVA that night when I got home. I've always been a dysfunctional piece of junk, and you wouldn't believe how relieved I was to see characters I could identify with in some degree. Besides, I like conspiracies and mindfuckery. And penguins, too. And I totally think I suffer from the hedgehog's dilemma.
My first fansite was an EVA one. It sucked a lot, but it taught me HTML~ It had ugly backgrounds and animated GIFs, LOL.
What else? I liked both endings. I like Sadamoto's manga. HELL, I EVEN LIKE SHINJI A LOT <3 (who's like the world's most hated main character in anime after Miaka or something). I'm easy to please when it comes to EVAunless it's one of those shoujo AU mangas/games, because that's total shit.
Believe it or not, I'm so looking forward to Rebuild of Evangelion. Call me a fangirl, call me a sheep, but I watch the trailers and I purr. And now I want to rewatch the series so badly, except I don't have it. Oh well, time to remedy that. I should check it in Japanese for the first time or something. I spent all the afternoon youtubing the Renewal deleted scenes.
