scope Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 And I forgot to look for the director's cut for the last few episodes, still enjoyed it and I remember that Asuka bath scene anyway Spoiler Where she's basically saying she hates everything. Oh well I mostly remember it and was still an awesome revisit despite slightly feeling like I missed out....weeb probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainStarwind Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm holding out on rewatching Evangelion until we have a definite release day for 3.0+1.0. At that point I'll probably rewatch Evangelion, End, and all three of the rebuild movies in preparation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Currently watching it on a week-to-week basis with my uncle. Currently on episode 10. I liked Asuka better when she was less obviously German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The Shikinami edition of Asuka from the Rebuild movies wasn't as in-your-face German as the OG Sohryu Asuka was, that's what I'm saying. It actually made her more tolerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuka Langley Sohryu becomes Asuka Langley Shikinami. (Besides, it was obvious her last name changed, hence why I brought up the difference.)

It actually made her more tolerable. In what way? For me, OG Asuka's bitchiness and attitude were an essential part of her character, they were a way of masking her extreme inferiority complex and self loathing. Unlike Shinji (who internalizes), she externalizes her feelings. She is desperate for love and affection from others but doesn't want to lower her emotional walls to let anyone else in. She lashes out and projects her rage and pain onto others (especially Shinji and Rei, who both embody things she hates about herself). She's ambitious, arrogant, and desperate for external validation because fundamentally, she can't see any inherent value in herself as a person. Her foreignness just emphasizes her feelings of isolation and being an outsider. Asuka was indeed intolerable and not a pleasant person AT ALL, but I don't think she was ever supposed to be. I felt like I could strongly relate to some of her emotional issues when I first watched this show when I was younger, though. I had not yet seen a character like her, or one whose character flaws were explored in such a way. And actually, this is something more recent shows with Rei and Asuka clones get wrong --- they are just generic tsunderes and moeblobs, completely missing the point that in NGE, these were NOT portrayed as positive personality traits!

I just find what I remember of Asuka from 2.22 (which I only last saw five years ago) less annoying than the Asuka I've witnessed now on my current watch. Though if you're looking for a reason, you could say it was the quality of the old ADV dub combined with the gratuitous German phrases and exclamations that shaped that opinion to a fuller form, or something. I really suck with words when I'm put on the spot like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
