I never got the Shinji hate. He's fourteen! And more specifically, he's a fourteen year old who is having to shoulder an enormous burden that would be too much for many (maybe even most) adults. Evangelion realistically depicts what happens when children have to do an adult's job. It makes them fucked up.

But I guess people just don't want realism in their power fantasies of giant robots, and can't get their head around the concept that Eva is not a power fantasy series.

I like Shinji and it's not even about age. It's about the fact that it's okay to be sad and depressed and fucked up and there's nothing shameful about it, and anyone who thinks there is can gtfo.

or maybe...just maybe...

we don't need 'realism' to make ourselves feel better about how 'fucked up' our lives are...

or that there are many people out there who have had severely fucked up lives and still manage to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and go on to be functioning individuals...

or that maybe it's just an anime about giant fucking robots and you want to go on about it's 'realism'... haaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha

Go to watch a mecha anime full with gary-stus like Gundam Wing then.

Or maybe that's what people want out of their shows "If this thing was real, how would it affect people?"

Or maybe you're just a dick troll.

I don't necessarily want realism, but I do want realistic people in them! I can't stand stories with impossibly perfect badass characters. Give me Trigun or Evangelion (original flavor) any day.

Evangelion realistically depicts what happens when children have to do an adult's job. It makes them fucked up.

But couldn't they be fucked up and still have some redeeming qualities as characters? I mean, realism is great and all, but I feel like something has gone wrong when by the end I'm relieved everyone is dead.

I'm relieved everyone is dead.

Me too.
I don't think that was the intent of the show creator.

Though for what little I care about it, I think his intent was to thrown in his anime all the clichés that would draw in the insecure fanboys, and pretend there was some deep meaning behind it, by leaving sparse clues and letting fans make up theories about it.

Well done, commercially. But I stopped giving a damn before the end.
