Description
Favorite character: reasons here Favorite Anime Girls # 1Despised character: Gendick of course, this prick has to this day to show any redeemable qualities and is the main responsible for Shinji being an emotional mess, I don't really get why so many people see him as a cool villain, sh*t just happens and then he claims things are going according to his plans, though we rarely see him actually doing anything (he is just the Starscream to Keel Lorenz' Megatron by the way). What the hell did Yui Ikari ever saw in this bastard? Dishonorable mention for all of SEELE and Ritsuko's child strangling mom.
Overrated Character: Asuka is selfish, hypocrite, possessive, uncaring, arrogant, abusive, never acknowledges her own faults (let alone learn from them) and shifts the blame on someone else, every time she goes fighting on her own, she loses, yet the fandom loves her. She is kinda fun to draw though
Underrated Character: I don't get it, Shinji is the most effective of the three pilots, he's seriously flawed, true, but despite his fears and personal issues he gets in the fucking robot 80% of the time and gets shit done, he also tries to overcome his flaws and interact with people, If surrounded by less f*cked up people (and those few who actually cared about him not died messily before his eyes) he would have been a great hero. Yet the fandom sees him as a wuss, his horrible portrayal in the End of Evangelion didn't help at all.
Favorite Moment: Episode 19, all of it.
Despised Moment: The infamous Hospital scene from the End of Evangelion. Grotesque, disturbing and pointless. The worst part is that I have found people who defend it.
Favorite couple: ShinjixRei, I love the chemistry between these two, specially in the manga.
Despised couple: ShinjixAsuka, classic abusive relationship with double standard included. Also any pairing involving Gendo

I have found some good NGE fanfiction if you are interested. The author's pen name is gunman.

I think Gendo is a really great villain and a fascinating character, but he, Keel Lorenz, and Naoko Akari are the only characters in the series I hated.
On Asuka - the fandom loves her FOR all those things you mentioned. That is what you call an interesting, three-dimensional character who you can love or love to hate. XD
Agreed about Shinji. I despised him in EoE, but everywhere else in the franchise he's not a bad character at all.
Disagreed that Shinji/Asuka is "abusive" - the whole point of their dynamic was that Asuka's pushy, overbearing attitude, insults and namecalling, and competitive streaks were all things Shinji felt he NEEDED in his life and that helped him better himself so that Asuka could gain a respect for him that would outweigh her disdain and would stop complaining about things about him. And as much as Asuka would never admit it, she needed Shinji too.

You know? I've never been able to understand why people see Gendo as a cool villain, he is rather incompetent and pathetic to me, I mean, he shares most of Shinji's flaws, but none of his redeeming traits, had Yui Ikari never appeared in his life Gendo would have either killed himself or died during one of those fights he used to pick up here and there.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Pathetic to be sure, but I wouldn't say he's incompetent so much as he is short-sighted about the things that don't relate to his goal of wiping out all the angels, using Rei to hijack the Instrumentality project, and reuniting with Yui, which leads to some blunders in other areas. Also, what you say is true - Gendo was always a real piece of work.
Oh and about the Asuka/Shinji relationship, I forgot to mention that yes I TOTALLY see what's so toxic and unhealthy about it. I meant to say that were those two kids psychologically better off and well adjusted enough to have normal interactions and live normal lives, then they'd be a lot more compatible as friends.

I'm not a fan of Asuka as I don't like those type of characters, but then again I hate every character like this. I'm not a fan of Seto Kaiba, Eiri Yuki and Louise from the familiar of Zero it's understandable why they act like they that but I don't have to like them. Also I don't like tsunderes. The only character I actually like in this catagory is Casca and unlike you I wouldn't go getting pissed at people who didn't like her.

Oh, I just happen to be a new NGE fan who wanted to add my two cents.ย

Two cents I didn't ask for. Thanks, but I'm throwing them away.

Pretty much the same than mine, even though I didn't include anything from the rebuild continuity here, since it has still to conclude.

si, la verdad shinji a pesar de las cosas que hizo merece de minimo algo de compasion

Merece mucho mรกs que la c*gada que tanto los fans como el autor le tiran constantemente

a lot of people seem to hate the hospital scene do they?
also I agree with you that asuka is overrated. I actually thought I was going to LIKE her
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Why not to hate that scene?
Asuka was not that bad when introduced, I actually used to like her, but as the show goes on she becomes unsufferable (Mocking Shinji during the Leliel incident? Not. Cool) and her backstory came too late for me to really feel sorry about her.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah
You have a point

Our memes are almost the same across the map

Yeah our memes are pretty much the same, the difference is that I only regarded the NGE continuity, while you included some things from Rebuild, I'll later leave a comment on your version

Yes I do!! I just revamped mine! Take a look! kaizer617.deviantart.com/art/Eโฆ

I TOTALLY agree with you on Asuka being overrated. Everytime I see the way she acts, she makes me want to replay scenes from End of Eva where she get killed off, whether its in battle or by Shinji choking her. She's THAT bad, and another one of the tsundere characters that I gave such a hard time. Sure, Asuka's an epic fighter and all, but does she really have to be such a c**t to everyone for no reason? Its so stupid.ย
That's why I always prefer Rei, since not only she's my fave archetype, a kuudere, I can easily connect with her more than I can ever care for Asuka. That, and the chemistry between her and Shinji actually works. Its just sad how End of Eva just broke the two away in the end.
And yeah, that scene with Shini whacking off in End of Eva was totally gross and out of nowhere. its hard to believe people actually defends that.
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
WHAT ARE YOU, STUPID? You missed ALL the reasons why Asuka acted the way she did. She's not a bitch to others because she hates them, but because she's so insecure that she secretly hates herself and doesn't want to risk getting hurt by others, so she hurts them instead while hoping that they come around to respecting her, appreciating her, seeing her as a superior person, and giving her all the attention, validation, and love. Also, while I love Rei too, I find her far less relatable than Asuka due to how emotionally repressed and borderline inhuman she is.
๐: 1 โฉ: 0
Well, there was a reason for that behavior, (not a excuse) but it came too late to feel sorry about the character and as Linkara once said There's a difference between having a sympathetic backstory and actually being sympathetic, which Asuka is not.
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
Disagreed. Asuka's sympathetic backstory ties DIRECTLY into her psychology and the behavior she's demonstrated throughout the entire series. She acted all high and mighty because she wanted to seem like she was great and thus make others think of her as great too, as compensation for very low self esteem. And she acted bitchy towards others because she was always guarded and had her heart walled off towards relationships with others, because she didn't want to ever get hurt by them - she'd rather be the one doing the hurting jut to be safe and protect herself. Most of all, she wanted attention - she wanted to be acknowledged, validated, and loved. It's very much a justification for her behavior and no matter how late in the game it came, it made me and many others truly feel for her.

the Hospital Scene? You mean where Shinji gets his hands white? <_<;;;
I believe what made Asuka such a "great" character in emphasis to others would be that she was the livewire out of the three pilots. She would be the one that with that narcissistic attitude would try to take on anyone and anything in her way whether she can pass or fail.ย
Don't get me wrong, I like the whole Eva cast in their own way, possibly the only character I disliked the most would be Mr. Stale voice himself (Gendou Ikari)ย

Asuka was not that bad when first introduced, she showed some charisma and had funny scenes, but as the show progressed she got worse and worse
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
She's just not a team player and is in love with herself.ย
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
She actually really resents herself deep down and learning to fall in love with herself was her coping mechanism for this psychological insecurity.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I want to say it's quite subjective. I can't say if this is a primary source or not, but I recall someone claiming that she is narcissistic. I want to say that it is a primary source, but not 100% sure to make that claim.ย
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Narcissism isn't always something one is just born with - it's canon that Asuka taught herself how to be egocentric and self-loving because she felt she had no acknowledgment, affection, validation, respect, or love from anyone else.
