[QUOTE=Taggart;48193163]yes hi this was a reference to the infamous "i'm so fucked up" scene, not a jab on shinji's character
I've defended his character for being a depressed 14 year old on at least one occasion lol[/QUOTE]
Wasn't accusing you of it or anything. The sheer number of people who watch that show and come away with a fundamental level of misunderstanding is baffling though.

It's like watching a tennis anime and coming out going "what the fuck, they barely played any hockey 0/10 the protagonist sucks"

Welcome to weeaboos far and wide tbh. Where the most 2d cardboard cutouts are amazing characters, but the second they have enough characterisation to make you take time to figure them out they're shit
Shinji is also a quite heavy inversion of the generic mecha protagonist, i.e. a hot blooded, energetic go-getter who totally gets all the pussy while he fists enemy mechs into oblivion, and weeaboos fucking hate non-standard characters I tell you what
[editline]13th July 2015[/editline]
And let's not forget Asuka and Rei, who weeaboos will swear up and down are 2d -dere archtypes.

I'd like to see a takedown of the hotblooded pilot, where getting angry and impulsive and charging in blind and having a blatant disregard for authority figures and chain of command and all the typical hotblooded pilot tropes aren't spun in a universally positive fashion.
Oh wait, that's Kamille from Zeta Gundam and everybody thinks he's a whiny bitch because he isn't portrayed as right for doing it and nobody takes his shit for it. Everybody gets punched a lot in Zeta Gundam.
Not in the Evangelion context of a setting where everything sucks, but more of a typical setting except the universe doesn't warp to make the main character's rash decisions automatically correct.
[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;48193142]My bad, either way a lot is censored which sucks.
Show has a fun concept but ye I haven't laughed much yet. I'll stick with it tho cause I wanna see where it goes.[/QUOTE]
pretty much, although i found some parts funny.

Asuka is the worst tsundere, she hasn't got any dere in her. Rei isn't typical anime cold and emotionless, she's genuinely emotionless 95% of the time and I'm fairly sure she's meant to come off as distant and uncomfortable rather than endearing for it.
I thought weebs generally held Eva in high regard? Not that i've seen it, it's sitting in my Hard Drive and on my to do list.
I think Rei is the hardest character to look at from how a viewer would have looked at her at the time seeing how she sparked such wide imitation and it's easy to misinterpret her actions with the regular Rei-clone tropes.

They do, it's highly popular for a reason. There's just a surprisingly large amount of people who genuinely believe the "shinji get in the robot" stuff.
[editline]13th July 2015[/editline]
It bothers me a lot since Shinji's character writing is extremely strong, particularly early on. Plus he establishes himself as extremely brave as early as the Ramiel fight where he [sp]grabs his classmates, puts them in the Eva, is told to retreat, is nearly out of battery in an impossible situation, and instead of running away repeats "i won't run away" and charges the Angel with nothing but his progressive knife and tanks being impaled, which he can feel completely, in order to stab the Angel for a good 5-10 seconds, only penetrating just before the Eva's battery runs out.[/sp]
If that doesn't rank high on the hotblooded pilot badass chart then I don't know what does.

Exactly the point, neither are dere archtypes even remotely.
Asuka is [sp]a broken teenage girl with extreme emotional and trust issues, who is incapable of getting close to anyone even if she wants to.[/sp]
Rei is [sp]literally an emotionless doll that has to LEARN HOW TO EXPRESS EMOTION. She's "cool" because she literally has no emotion to show.[/sp]
but that's too complex for weeaboos, so nah they're tsundere and kuudere
There are a lot of characters who fall into the tsundere archetype who people don't really remember as tsunderes because tsun in their case doesn't translate into "is a huge bitch/hates the protagonist" or yelling IT'S NOT LIKE I LIKE YOU OR ANYTHING B-BAKA every twelve seconds.
[editline]13th July 2015[/editline]
So what's everybody's favourite OPs this season? Mine's definitely Gangsta's one.
Tsunderes are almost universally shit though, the most obvious ones are usually fucking awful comparatively though. In fact I don't think i could think of a well written one, that doesn't mean there aren't. Got any examples of these undercover tsunderes?
Remember kids, "character that does something I don't like" and "shit character" are interchangeable terms.
[QUOTE=ScottyWired;48193172]Yeah I was wondering what was up with that guy, he suddenly started posting frequently. Or I just didn't notice him before
Welcome RejectedPost- your comments in this thread are terrible and charming, just the way they should be.[/QUOTE]

Since I don't sort my characters into "shit tsundere" and "good tsundere" I'm afraid I can't give many answers off the top of my head. The example I always think of is Meryl from Trigun. I guess any character who fits all of the conditions for it but doesn't make you immediately go "oh look it's the tsundere" counts.
[editline]13th July 2015[/editline]
The problem with typical tsunderes is that their entire character is defined by the fact that they're a tsundere, they aren't multifaceted characters outside of this.
[editline]13th July 2015[/editline]
I suppose if you can some up every possible part of a character's personality in one word that makes them shit regardless of archetype.
Or your term is too broadly encompassing and you're being nitpicky I guess.
speaking of tsunderes

This is like the one time that really long light novel-style titles are completely acceptable.

That's got to be the best title for a manga.

Atleast the mangaka isn't trying to suck weebbucks outta people and needlessly extend the story beyond the simple premise.
Watched first ep of God Eater.
Most uninteresting plot and MC. Why was this show hyped again?
