Based on Subtitles and My Japanese Co Worker, this is kinda nails it and also removes a lot of ambiguity about the series in the first place.
Like an angle
Who has forsaken sympathy
Rise up young boy and
Make yourself a legend!
Blue skies and beckoning winds
Are trying to open the
Door of your heart
But you're gazing at me
As if you cannot see
You just stand there smiling vacantly
Your eyes hold such innocence
You're blind to the fate
That will soon come to pass
But it's summoning you
With a touch like a sigh
You seek it without knowing why
But someday I know that
You will be awakened
And your eyes will finally see
These wings on your back are
Just waiting to guide you
The future will soon set you free!
This cruel thesis
A spiteful angel's litany
Will soon soar from the
Window of your destiny
White hot pathos
A desecrated symphony
Stay true to this and
don't betray your memory!
Come now, reach out
You must embrace reality
Rise up, young boy, and
Make yourself a legend!
You've slept for ever so long
Embraced in affection
And cradled with care
But with morning's approach
Comes an echoing cry
It tells you to wave your dreams goodbye
And the moon is shining above
It wishes to show just
How fragile you are
You're so frail and slight
In its silvery light
Our fate is not one we can fight
But someday I hope
That we'll be reunited
If that is what's destined to be
Perhaps we'll discover
That elusive bible
And then we will finally be free!
This cruel thesis
A spiteful angel's mockery
Will bring with it the
Sorrow of futility
Hold on tightly
And do not lose vitality
You must wake up, for now
the dream is history!
Come now, reach out
You must embrace humanity
Rise up, young boy, and
make yourself a legend!
Love is the thread of
The story that's woven
Of future and present and past
I may not ever ascend to the heavens
But I know my love will still last
This cruel thesis
A spiteful angel's litany,
Will soon soar from the
Window of your destiny
White hot pathos
A desecrated symphony
Stay true to this and
Don't betray your memory!
Come now, reach out
You must embrace reality
Rise up, young boy, and
make yourself a legend!
I work in a kitchen with someone who recently came here from Japan and it's the anime we both really liked in common and have assigned everyone at work characters they represent. Our sous chef that were both kinda more qualified than but he's got seniority and we don't wanna deal with it is therefor shinji, he's also a giant nerd who is totally the only person in the way of himself and I've been raly trying yo get him to watch it so he'll get the gag cause he's a 36 year old child and despite being 4 years older than me I am and have been declared the Misato of the group, she readily admits to being Asuka as fuck and I've seen working kitchens give her a simar arc and Elipido or Peddy is Rei, he's a 46 year old Phillipines guy who only speaks when necessary or to deliver the funniest dry wit one liner ever but only once every 3 months.
Get the nerd to watch it! Coming from an enby in their 40s, I've also worked kitchens, hard work.. never get enough credit either
The thing here is, the Asuka Japanese person is 22 and had just gone through her red seal and is technically a chef but has none of the experience necessary for it where he has worked this place longer than the rest of of, beating me by a year but his previous experience is Wendy's ans a local bar that serves okay food. He did learn a lot o. His own about food and whatnot and has decent logistic skills, I have no formal training but have always worked high end stuff and learned everything in the field over 15 years, I work the same hours as our sous chef and make him look really good cause that gives me a similar paycheck, people assume the same level of authority and none of the blowback mattering as much do I try to tsle some of his, cause tbh, he's not ready for the job. He's a geologist by education. He didn't want to pilot eva, so he's shinji. She is full training no experience and false expectations until recently, big Asuka vibes and it's her favorite character cause she really sees the show different than I so. I'm Minato cause I come to work half in the bag and stoned and direct these two forces
Sounds like a load of fun characters, need that kind of companionship in the job. Sounds like a fun place ngl
I've worked NUMEROUS kitchens in my life and all in all we've got a really good group. The dynamics have.beem fuckddstelt cause Asuka is on maternity leave and chef Gendo (if gendo was our chef the Eva's would be a Red Green duct tape trebuchet) has been off for surgery so it's been Misato and Shinji in charge of operating NERVE and were both tired
But yeh, the people are dope and we pay decent as far as kitchens go and have retained most of the staff for a while so at this point t we've all been working together for at least 2 years and there is some real nice coordination and solidarity that comes with working that hard together for thst long. It is pretty nice and thanks for reminding me
Hopefully get some relief soon
We have Gendo back this week and I've got a long weekend booked
I bet you're lad for the time off ^^
It'll be dope. Big punk show in theoado for dock of a skate shop, byov and a touring crust band from Italy thst I've loved for a decade
Nice, be able to unwind for a bit
It'll be good. I'm wound at this point.
Also these metaphors fall apart really fast and should t be taken seriously. Our chef is a doormat and played in punk bands and lived as a dishwasher until he had a kid on the way and therefore grant money paid for his courses, it's like if Misato knew all of Gendos bs before joining caue she worked with people who had worked at NERVE at her previous job and got the scoop from the..as as older punks who built Giant robots whe. He was a dishwasher, mymetaphor is falling apart
