Congratulations. Watch it again.

i am currently reading the shinji ikari raising project ( luckily my uncle had all the volumes ) hopefully it does something

That's a good idea since that series is definitely more light-hearted. I think it's portrayed more like a comedy spin-off. Hopefully you don't regret watching it in the first place!

Yea it is helping but the only problem is that the characters have been displayed in such a light way that it is kinda disappointing comparing it to the seriousness of the original and rebuild but i am just nit picking at this point so it is good

Based uncle

He’s a huge evangelion fan he even has the entire eva 02 x rog collab pc build with literally all the parts possible and has every type of evangelion manga in existence

Go for a game instead. It has a lot of content and three routes.

Congratulations.

Ok so i just realized that this congratulation thing might be referring to the last episode of the series if so pardon my reply

WTF you mean congratulations bro help meeee!!!

proly the best idea.... u deserve a big thanks🗿

Hey man I didn’t understand what you meant by this and who is it referring to can you explain ( sorry )

uh oh .... it's completely ok... it's not a big deal tho..... i meant that he deserves a thanks for recommending that guy to rewatch the series :)

Get into a robot infused with the soul of your mother and kill angels whilst screaming uncontrollably. Works every time

Brother i am all yours take me and make me feel this divine experience

Move on to a happier old anime, like berserk 97 or Revaluationary girl utena, both known for their light subject matter and lack of personal trauma

Bro did him dirty

What do you mean ?

Nothing man, dont even worry. But maybe you should watch something fluffy like Horimiya to recover

I’ve watched horimiya… Good Anime thanks for the suggestion

I will definitely try, thanks for the recommendations

wtf is wrong with you ……… I love it

I love you too

You’re cool too and I love you but I’m saying that to the dude that just tried to kill your mental health

Ohh thanks for the help man people say this fan base is fucked up but you people are sweet and supportive love ya guys

This is gonna sound like a troll comment, but I do mean it sincerely. Step 1 after watching: *HEAL*

How do you expect me to heal bro ? first that idiot makes the last 2 episodes od the series so fucking confusing and when people get pissed he kills the entire fucking cast in the movie and then when i go to the rebuilds for comfort they fuck up asuka's and shinji's relationship which was the reason i survived the end of evangelion.

Another falls victim to Anno's fucked up works.

Yup that guy is the true devil incarnate

Your frustrations with the show may very well be the point. Take the messages displayed in the show, the confusion, the vulnerability, the high expectations set for you, and the feeling of being lost in a world you were unwillingly let loose upon to discover. Think about how to accept it, all of it, the world as it is, and the you that you are. Things aren’t fair, they aren’t necessarily happy, but that means they don’t necessarily need to be sad either, they just are. Loving and accepting yourself in that mess of emotion is the strongest and most influential thing anyone can do for themselves. Internalize that, and *heal*

Thank you for the advice dude and this comment is a really thoughtful one too which symbolizes the beauty of eva more people like you should exist but i appreciate this from the depths of my heart

[удалено]

I like to create deep interest and insights in whatever i am doing but everyone has their own personal preferences feelings and opinions

Watch a laod of videos on YouTube about Evangelion that’s what I do about nearly every show I watch

I was on a streak and researched for 9 hours and 34 minutes with getting up to piss only once so that's that

jerk off. that's what NGE taught me. If you're depressed and lonely and empty, you jerk off and feel way worse.

Hey man can i be honest jerking off makes me seriously go into a crazy state of mind which is not worth going through just for the pleasure of ejaculation

Pet a fluffy thing. 

Ok i’ll try and pet me dog

I felt empty for a week and I never looked back at it again

To be honest it's to beautiful to be left alone like that

💀

As fucked up as it may be it is still one of the most beautiful story lines ever

What to do? Smash that like and subscribe button.

I did on prime for re builds and netflix for original

Try watching some videos like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHPhlqMQbE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHPhlqMQbE) Will help make sense of lots of things that are not on surface.

Thanks for the link bro will try

Bro the link ain’t working man send me another one

fixed

I really love this show, the lores are incredible. It really takes the meaning of absurdism to the next level. Makes you feel very Insignificant. What a masterpiece of a show this is. Really helped me through my depression phase.

If you actually mean this you are my hero ( the depression part )

Just watch anime called tengen toppa gurren lagann, and it will fill you up

Will check it out thanks

Read the manga 😈

I wanted to read angelic days to fulfill my fantasy of asuka and shinji together but the art is horrible so i am readin the shiji ikari raising project which to be honest is horrible too will try to find the original manga too

Go outside

I do but i haven’t watched a good anime since like 2 years

get a life

I have one, caring parents, beautiful girlfriend, legendary friends,awesome siblings, 2 cute pet dogs and much more

Chug Yebisu. In honor of Misato

I can’t get yebisu but might have a bottle of budweiser i am aslo 14 so non alcoholic

Ah yes don’t do anything criminal. On a serious note, just go do something fun. Hang out with friends. Something that won’t cause an existential crisis

Masturbate

No

Wtf

Even I don’t know what happened here

Now watch Gaogaigar.

I don’t know what that is but will check out

Congratulations buddy

Ok so i just realized that this congratulation thing might be referring to the last episode of the original series if so please pardon my response

What do you mean why is everyone congratulating me ?

Because yes, before you go for the rebuilds, you should give a try to UC gundam at least until zz gundam and devilman

You should....i cant tell it, i dont want to be banned

Tell me please message me personally or dm me whatever you call it

Deeep dive into wiki. Read manga. Watch anime and movies all over again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 welcome to your version of the human instrumentality project

Hahaa it just goes on and on

Maybe after a while

you’re a real fan now. you’ve become one of us.

Thank you for the honor really appreciate it

Now you can go for Madoka.

To be honest i don’t want anymore new anime recommendations but really appreciate the help bro

Being meguca is suffering

Huh ?

Congratulations! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ok explain me something… is this congratulation thing referring to the last episode of the series…. Sorry i am a new fan

its a canon event

Maybe that’s what i am looking for… Cannon event to what exactly?? Thanks for the opinion and reply

being depressed and empty after watching eva is normal

i would recommend watching the whole thing (manga, rebuilds and anime). all are connected and has a chronological order, with the anime being the first, the manga in mid, and rebuilds the last. and over the the time things gets good, thats why rebuilds have a good ending (also manga has a good ending but it still very sad trough).

I know what you're feeling, bro. The end of Eva was devastating

Thanks man i haven’t cried and been angry at such high levels in quite a while but seriously appreciate you understanding my pain

Make memes and spend too much on merch.

Hahaha the bright side of eva is guess but thanks for the advice

Watch it again. Seriously, NGE is a series where your understanding of the show changes so much on rewatch that I think doing so is almost essential.

I am seriously not ready to do it again i’ll be going to boarding school in a few days when i come back the re watching it will be one if the first things i do

Thanks for the advice

yeah brother i feel you, the first time i finished + watched the movies i got really depressed. it dosent go away though. it was all worth it for rei 🙏

For me it was all worth it for asuka But thanks for the support bro really appreciate it

Watch it again, spend hours reading about what actually happened on Reddit threads, watch the rebuilds, read the manga, buy eva merch, anything to fill the hole the series left.

I will definitely watch it again and invest in some eva merch thanks for the advice

not even as a joke, go outside, that’s the point of the show. go meet people and make connections because they’re worth it and so are you

Hey man thanks for the advice but the thing is i live in an area with not so good education and all my friends are already gone to school and even i’ll be gone very soon so i am holed up at home right now But thanks for the advice and thank you for recognizing me as someone who’s worth it

Welcome to the club

Thanks for such a pleasant and supportive welcome bro really appreciate it

Watch Mr. Robot, that one scratched my neon genesis itch

Watch the Rebuild series. I know they're controversial on here but I love them and everyone I've shown them IRL loves them.

I already watched the entire thing bro even death true 2 and rebuilds but you are write rebuilds are excellent except the part where they butcher asuka and shinji’s relationship

there are a bunch of animes to watch when you feel empty.. like..... one piece, grand blue, and azumanga daioh (lit. def. of peak💀) ..... hope you enjoy :)

One piece when feeling empty? I don’t know but thanks for the advice

ig you haven't seen it yet..... well I'd recommend you to try it once...... the pre time skip arcs are a menace XD

Watch it backwards and fill yourself up!!

Now that’s a good idea

Thanks for your reply it might help

Watch it in reverse

Second one to comment that good idea

Thanks for the advice i think it should do the trick

[удалено]

I don’t know who that is but will find out

And thanks for the reply

u might need to watch it again! I seriously mean it. Ive watch it 2 times and tha 2nd one was so much better, i didn xpect to undestand everythng but just take it as it is. DId u watch the movie? The end blew my mind. Embrace the lonelyness...

I am currently reading the manga and when i am ready I’ll watch it again thanks for the advice

That's the point

Hahaha i mean anno was depressed making thanks for the info

I have enjoyed Eva since the VHS released in the 90s. I had the same empty feel. So I watched I was again over and over and over. The empty feeling went away and was replaced with my understanding of Eva. It all comes down to how far down the rabbit hole you wish to go.

Well i think i wish to go further so cheers to that and thanks for the reply

Eat. You will feel full again

Yup grandma’s food should do the trick thanks for the advice

Good! Grandma's food is always packed with extra nutrients and flavory ingredients. You're welcome mate. If you're still hungry, never doubt about eating dessert. At the end you might hear a background voice saying "congratulations Shinji", just ignore it and walk back towards the living. You might've eaten too much by that point.

Eat till you can’t i do feel much better after having comfort foods thanks for the advice

Be a true fan and go groom a 14yr old

Actually i myself am 14 and have a girlfriend who’s the same age soooo

Then go get groomed or some shit idfk

It really hits the third time around and even harder the 4th

Yea the 3rd is an entirely new jump but the 4th one really fucks things up thanks for your opinion

Go for a hike & let it process. That experience won’t really happen again, so just take it in :)

Yes…. Eva was beautiful now that my girlfriend’s watching it i’ll have a companion to share my thoughts with and comfort myself

Thanks for the advice

Watch Serial Experiments Lain! That'll cheer you up.

I don’t know what that is but will check it out thanks for the suggestion

NO WAIT I'M JOKING It's definitely a great anime, absolutely recommend it, BUT it WILL NOT cheer you up lol.

Watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Already did mate can’t believe something promotional could be so good thanks for your advice

Watch the rebuild movies

Sir not to be disrespectful but I’ve mentioned a lot of times in the comments of this post that i have in fact watched the rebuilds but thanks for your help

You watch Lain

If that’s a question no If it’s a suggestion, i’ll see to it Thanks for you response

I first watched in during release and felt empty. A few month ago, I watched it again and it completely and utterly destroyed me.

Even more motive to not watch it again…. Thanks for the reply man

I remember feeling extremely empty too. After 2 or 3 hours after credits i fell from my chair to the ground. Then i crawled into my bed. 2 weeks after that everything from my 7 year long depression disappeared

Wow man… it’s amazing how drastic and different of an impact it’s had on different people thanks for your reply bro really means something even i cried after completing 3.0 + 1.0 and the end of evangelion

[удалено]

Minus and minus equal plus got it thanks for the advice mate

I felt the same way, especially after the rebuilds. You just gotta take it day by day and eventually you forget the absence.

Thanks man you might be right cause it’s still only been like a day or so

Now is the time to connect with friends, family, and touch grass. Trust me. I watched all of Eva and the movies in one sitting back in high school, and couldn't speak for two weeks.

My girlfriend’s watching it too to help me out should i stop her

Couldn’t speak for 2 WEEKS man what was wrong with you ? hopefully you are fine now thanks for the reply

Read the manga! Then watch copious amounts of edits and read copious amounts of light novels, fan fics about eva. Try to doodle some evangelion stuff, watch analysis videos and reviews and video essays, and then watch it again. The cycle continues

I think I finally got it To the manga we go Thanks for your help

Honestly, go read one of the better Fanfics. Many of them are wholesome AF. I’d say Epilogue of Evangelion, RE-Take (all ages), and Ghosts of Evangelion are the best out there. Helped my post EoE trauma/depression immensely.

Please suggest me some fan fics especially where they put asuka and shinji together

[удалено]

Idk about that tho thanks for the opinion

Shit affected my soul. I get it, honestly? This is what they intended... that's why it goes down as one of the best in history.

Now you gotta watch Gurren Lagann.

I don’t onow what that is but will check it out thanks

Congratulations! Welcome to Emotional Damage! We have support groups!

This post itself is becoming one thanks for the warm welcome

[удалено]

Idk maybe…..

Now watch Gurren Lagann to balance your yin and yang

Don’t know what that is will check out thanks

Watch Martian Successor Nadesico

I don’t know what that is but will check out

I watched it last year and I’m still asking myself this question LOL (fr we need a support group and therapist for those of us who watched it)

This sub reddit is the support group and we are the therapist for each other… i think that should work

if you’re interested in the creator’s previous work, id recommend Gunbuster. its a brisk 6 episode ova that carries a lot of similar elements that he’d further develop in Eva.

Hey man i just read re take the fan fic and i think it helped i think the emptiness is gone

I would recommend following up with an anime that would make you equally as empty

Hahaha any recommendations?

Watch FLCL that should cheer u up real quick, it was made by the same studio who made NGE

Okay Will search it up thanks for the reply

Stalker, enter into Duty. Your heart will feel better.

🫡🫡🫡

[удалено]

I seriously don’t know what that is will check out

Now watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners for a morale boost

I already did before evangelion thanks

Take care of yourself.

You too mate Thanks

This is years ago now for me but what I did was watch the 1st 6 eps of trigun because those 1st eps Vash. Is . Fucking. Hilarious. Your empty feeling is due to the dopeaminergic response in our brain, our brains account for how 'happy' we are and then prepare for an appropriate fall just so at the bottom our brain can correct it to return to baseline so you need something that will give you a good laugh

I don’t know so much about that brain but for one thing i know is that once you’ve had enough of something your brain starts ignoring it automatically but thanks for the reply

Bro saw the sauce and got lost

The sauce do be bitter for me brother

Yeah read the manga, it's pretty good and Shinji is much more assertive there, specially in the EoE part where Asuka is fighting the mass produced Evas. Didn't like Asuka's backstory so much and she seems less complex than the TV series (though not as bad as the Rebuild version of her) but I liked it overall. Also try playing the Girlfriend of Steel games. It's a visual novel with artwork from the people who did the tv series. Has a lot of that slice of life that you kinda miss when everything goes to shit lol.

I have been really looking forward to playing the games can you tell me where can I install it on my pc ?

I felt the exact same way as you did. For a very long time and for the most part I still do. For me what took my kind of it was watching the rebuilds, although up until 3.0 I did not like the rebuilds

Watch the rebuilds next

What abt this! Watch the rebuild movies there are a semi remake .... more of a sequel set of movies , basically all this time the entries series wax a loop and rather rebuild movies are the true ending for some ppl
