>>96150668Oh, you poor, naive child. NGE was a Japanese man taking Western religious motifs without understanding their significance and injecting them into his creation during a super-depressed state-of-mind that turned to shit when he got over feeling bad about himself. NGE is not nearly as deep or as complicated as it seems to be. Even the "Rei vs. Asuka" question is highly irrelevant.
SVTFOE has eclipsed NGE. Nefcy fully understands Dies Irae, and is using it to her full advantage. She presents herself as a champion for the hyper-liberal agenda, when in actuality she is too intelligent to just be a simple pawn, and has made a statement lampooning all political factions at war. She has given enlightenment to basement-dwelling retards, teaching them the importance of action and making choices, whereas Anno finalized the hikkikomori state by having his crybaby protagonist "win" by choosing to do nothing, allowing that generation to believe they can "win" by hiding away.
In one fell swoop, the Madwoman has taught girls they can't just get a guy by being nice to him, but at the same time they have to be open and honest or else they will suffer severely for it. Similarly, she has taught boys they need to take the first step, otherwise time will literally pass them by, and they will only live with regret. She has secured a climbing birthrate in children with the sole intention of them recognizing that cute and perfect does exist, and one shouldn't settle for anything less. Anno, meanwhile, has had to revise his story four times, because of how garbage it is.
Tell me, which is the superior anime?
