Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread
I can't love or hate Evangelion because I recognize in myself the flaw that each character was made to embody. So in a way it's repulsive because it shoves this human weakness in your face and repudiates it, but it's also a consolation against that brokenness in the way it portrays that repulsiveness as part of everyone, not just you.
It's actually kindof pedantic that they named the rebuild "You Are (Not) Alone." It's like if Monet named a painting "If You Stand Back It Looks Like Boats."
