having just finished evangelion ep4 i'm just in awe at the cinematography of it all

it really is a classic

the series lives and breathes in a way a modern digital one-cour show could never it's making me tear up

was evangelion always this incredibly pretty what the fuck

this picture of misato's id card says, well, at least a hundred words

also currently dealing with the weird mental space of having accidentally switched to swedish subtitles now

it was very funny when someone literally saying “shit” (someone who contextually probably isn't japanese) was subtitled as ”fan” even though ”shit” is frequently used in swedish lmao

there's so many iconic shots in episodes 8 and 9 though they probably feel iconic to me just because of how many times i've watched that one rammstein engel evangelion amv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIcOIc7AFww

i have to say that like, of the things i've tried to rewatch so far, evangelion might be the hardest to really … escape the cultural shadow of. it's not just that i've seen it before. it's that everyone has seen it before. it's that it's so deafeningly influential and well-known

madoka is not a lesser show for knowing what's about to happen, if anything it's stronger. haruhi is… something i have a unique relationship with. but evangelion? evangelion is The Anime, and it's just so inescapable. the cinematography is hitting me, but i'm kind of detached

though this is also affected by the fact i'm not watching it alone, perhaps

Why are they putting asuka in the OceanGate Titan ;_; i'm fairly sure she doesn't die in this episode but this is perhaps the most terrifying thing so far

TRAGIC: even the Second Impact couldn't kill off the Windows API

“hikari, uh, i have looked up Facts on Wikipedia, Redmond is only 16 metres above sea level, it would not have survived the Second Impact,” (gf just now)

TRAGIC: the Second Impact set back humanity's development so far that x86 was still in use in 2015
