I'm enjoying the movies enough that I might almost forgive the franchise for Shinji, and what I like to project upon him-the complete castration of 90% of the male characters in anime since.  |
It's comments like these that make me really question Anno's directing of Rebuild. Shinji's character has a true purpose in Evangelion's narrative and is IMO one of the most complex and interesting characters in all of anime. To see people like Rebuild because Shinji "grew a pair" or the likes makes me really depressed as an Evangelion fan. This is not why I love the franchise. Sure good for those viewers and nothing against them, but this is not what Evangelion is meant to be in my eyes.
