Been just sitting here listening to Ode to Joy for like 2 hours now. It was really awful, and still is. This sucks, but it's taking so fucking long...so I took out my phone. I'm fucked up, I know. But I've got time to kill ama
Washing dishes, keeping the penguin fed, household stuff like that.
Are you inside the robots ass controlling it with levers?
I want to read a like twenty-five page critical essay on the themes of Evangelion
Well, there's this open access edited volume Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion; it's not generally about that, but there might be some tidbits (and relevant to the OP, there's a chapter entitled Creating Happy Endings: Yaoi Fanworks as Audience Response to Kaworu and Shinji’s Relationship).
More relevant to your question, here's a random assortment of Google Scholar results:
My Father, He Killed Me; My Mother, She Ate Me: Self, Desire, Engendering, and the Mother in Neon Genesis Evangelion
Boy with machine: A Deleuzo-Guattarian critique of Neon Genesis Evangelion (full text available on Sci-Hub, just paste in the DOI:10.1353/mec.0.0010)
Japanese Science Fiction in Converging Media: Alienation and Neon Genesis Evangelion (couldn't link directly to the PDF and the Academia.edu page would require a login, so I've linked the Google Scholar result which will take you to the PDF if you click on it)
Exegesis and Authorial Agency through Judeo-Christian Iconography in Japanese Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995-97) as an Open Work
You Are Not Alone: Self-Identity and Modernity in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Kokoro
So I'll save another one? You know you can't unsave a neo Tokyo right? That saving is still a save.
It's the same threat though, you didn't save shit you just delayed it. You don't say you stopped 9/11 if you stop only the first plane
Someone told me that this scene is where the studio lost funding which resulted in the bizarre last two episodes. Can anyone confirm this?
Yeah it's true
However this scene in particular has a pretty dramatic impact imo
Mr Ikari, a second impact has hit Antarctica
