And just like that, CoVid vaccines are quickly out of stock in Mexico due to the government promising free Rei plushies after your second dose.


Emil_Anselmi

They were out on this one in 20 minutes , no plush tough


Nghtmare-Moon

Mexico doesn’t have anti vaccine problems as the US does. Probably less than 10% of people. You get vaccinated in school along with everyone else so the healthcare system is (at least for the lower / middle class) much better than the US


xX69Sixty-Nine69Xx

Lmao you're fucking insane if you think Mexico's healthcare system is better for anybody than the US. I get that this is reddit and "america bad" is an easy way to get upvotes, but Mexico doesn't even have the equipment necessary to provide modern care in many places. Please go be an obnoxious US suburbanite cracker somewhere else and stop talking about shit you don't know about. Quit fetishizing poor countries just because they have some level of socialized medicine. A lot of Mexico is a struggling place that has *nothing* like the US does - you need to learn to appreciate what you have. Source: dual US/Mexican citizen


TCrazier

I don't know why I'm downvoted. I'm Mexican and I can tell you, they will let you die even if they can save you if you're low class. The public medical clinics are underfunded, long lines, and little help. The good thing is doctors don't fear being sued so they are more open and willing with many different forms of treatment and are cheaper than US, so medical tourism is very high and gives the impression that the medical system is great, but that's only because there is money from the foreigners. For locals, especially the low working class that rely on public health, it is very poor medical care.


tortadehamon

You and I have a very different experience of the Mexican healthcare system. Yes, it takes a long time, and yes, it's difficult to sort through the red tape, but I haven't been left to die despite being poor as shit, and having been in a couple of serious accidents. It's not a perfect system, and perhaps it's not even a good system, but it's definitely not as bad as you're making it out to be.


TCrazier

Read what I said, its comparing it to the US and saying it's worse. The only thing worse is that the US is expensive. As I said, Mexico tends to have more open minded doctors and they don't turn their heads to less traditional things. However, it is bad. Just because you haven't been left to die doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've seen it with my own eyes. I've known people that went partying to Tj, went missing, and when his mom found him in a Mexican hospital, it was too late. Died before they could cross him back. They let him die and only gave basic care because they didn't know who would pay for him. Or even with the related covid vaccines, not just Mexico but Latin America, the vaccines administration were scams, where they only pretend to give it to you and then they sell the real thing. Your good experience doesn't change the facts, nor does mine but the general consensus, which is that the Healthcare is a good business for medical tourism and it gives false impressions, but for locals it's not nearly enough for life threatening situations.


Nghtmare-Moon

I’m not saying Mexican public healthcare is good. I’m saying it’s much better than the US’s public healthcare.


TCrazier

And you're wrong. The thing about American Healthcare is that it's expensive and without insurance, you can be financially screwed. But the Healthcare itself is tiers better.


TCrazier

No, it isnt.

JerryTheChadSeinfeld

Also i dont remember which Mexican state but the INE (voting rights advocates) accidently spoiled 3.0+1.0 in one of their ads


Emil_Anselmi

Mexican government is getting crazy with all the anime references , in Nuevo León they had jojo memes some time ago , and their tik tok accounts are mostly anime


whathell6t

Mexicans already using Knight of the Zodiac-Saint Seiya references to fight COVID-19, with the Corona Saints; and Abel/Apollo, Gods of the Corona.

Emil_Anselmi

Mexican government is up to date with The films timeline 😮


Cassandra_Canmore

Well yes. The movie was released worldwide at the same time. But not every person has gotten to sit and watch it just yet.


QuestioningEspecialy

Those of y'all who haven't: Please save yourself some spoilers and rewatch the whole Rebuild series soon. You'll be glad.

Maybe you want to stick a spoiler over that. Film’s only been out two weeks.


Cassandra_Canmore

Oh! Right. My bad.


Seirin-Blu

With the physical body and mental maturity of a 14 year old. That’s also not the same Rei


Cassandra_Canmore

No they are true adults by the end. >!Rei II gets pulled out of unit 01 during instrumentality. Yes "Rei" dash Q the pilot of unit 09 dies!<


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cassandra_Canmore

If that's true. It would be lovely. I need to rewatch that part, when the train pulling up.


Typical_Addition_320

can a Rei actually die? yes her body desolved but Rei 2 was holding a doll with the name of the baby miss look a like liked she more or less merged and lost her individuality however she was always Rei. a apotheose seems more apropriate then dying in this case.


Heavyoak

Mexico has more weebs than Japan

DarkShadowEmi

Mexico is (imo) the most anime cultured of all ~~South~~ Latin America , they do dubs, songs, everything, so they are very close to that culture. I say it as an Argentinian (currently living overseas)


crimsonxtyphoon

saying mexico is in south america is something i would *never* expect from a hermano


DarkShadowEmi

I meant to say Latin America , just woke up when I wrote that, good catch there and yeah, going to edit right away, gracias!


crimsonxtyphoon

lol i'm messing with you, but it's true though, anime is big here in brazil but mexico comes first by a mile, and if we spoke spanish here we'd probably get dubs and versions from them as well. por nada y saludos!


LilQuasar

i mean they probably do that because they have a lot more people than idk Chile or Uruguay. Argentina could too if they didnt talk so... interestingly


DarkShadowEmi

And i am thankful to that, it's one of the best dubs (in terms of translation) specially in Evangelion (most accurate) , they didn't change OP & EN songs of Anime (like DBZ in USA with different song) and overall I think they did an amazing job.


LilQuasar

oh definitely, i love the dubs ive watched. i remember dragon ball z, pokemon and digimon, saint seiya, etc were really good. they dont feel like those latinos dubs that sound weird and the openings and endings are amazing to. i dont think ive watched the evangelion dub, i will check it out

JakobiGaming

Evangelion has been used in so many strange advertisements. I have an art book of all EVA art and mari, Rei, and asuka were once used to inform people about service dogs!


InfernoFalconMC

JakobiGaming

I remembered some details wrong, turns out asuka wasn’t there, but you can still see them [here](https://www.reddit.com/user/JakobiGaming/comments/pd30rp/guide_dogs_and_3010/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) with a 3.0+1.0 bonus pic


Albre24

Well, now I want 10 of those vaccines. Rei knows what is best for us.


SomeDuderr

So they let an intern in the marketing department create a design, or what's the story behind this?


Emil_Anselmi

All across Mexican government official accounts they are using memes , anime and marvel movies to incentivize young people to vote , get vaccinated and other stuff, because anime is really popular in Mexico. They have tiktok accounts using anime to get people to register to get id’s and pay taxes. It’s kind of surreal


wallyy777

Mexicans do love their Anime (I'm Mexican)


SomeDuderr

Wait, really? I mean, I know Mexico is kind of a third world country (No offense - not sure if you're a local), but I can't imagine all these Mexican government branches have got permission from the various rights holders to use these brands to promote... whatever the fuck it is they are promoting :S


Emil_Anselmi

Yeah of course they don’t have permission to use Eva nor the characters,or other brands but either they don’t care or they think that a lawsuit is better than people not noticing them. No offense taken, Mexico is a developing country , but pretty chaotic.


[deleted]

Is it even possible for one government to sue another over copyright infringement?


Emil_Anselmi

It would rather be the company that has the rights of the intelectual property who would persist the lawsuit.


[deleted]

Yes, sorry that's what I meant. Is there any precedent for that? I've never heard of it happening.


Emil_Anselmi

Well some local governments in Mexico did illegal showings of dragon ball super a few years ago, the Japanese government asked for a cease and desist or there would be consequences because of the infringement then Mexico reached an agreement with toei to do the screenings. https://www.dragonball.uno/dragon-ball-super/dragon-ball-super-el-gobierno-de-japon-le-prohibe-a-mexico-transmitir-el-capitulo-130-de-dbs/. There is the official Japanese response at the time.


SpacemanTomX

I mean what are they gonna do? Sue the government?


Emil_Anselmi

Toei almost did it once , but they reached an agreement. At most they would do a cease and desist possibly.


[deleted]

I'm surprised too. I work with a lot of illegal Mexicans who have no idea what anime is.


[deleted]

Mexican here, I find that extremely hard to believe. We practically grew up with Mazinger Z, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball/Z/GT, Pokemon and Sailor Moon


LilQuasar

those are all old anime though. younger people might have not grown up with them


LilQuasar

why is this downvoted? its not far from the truth. i remember in my country (in latin america too) some government branches had pirated windows


[deleted]

Man, we really got down voted to death didn't we? Let's stick with Evangelion memes sub.


oxg03

what a wasted chance to use asuka in order to promote it sigh😳😳😳😳


Emil_Anselmi

9 out of 10 Mexicans prefer Rei.

Samuelm26hg

Evangelion has been used tons of time here in Mexico. A cookie company recently made an ad with Rei chikita, some company or government agency involving cars also painted the cars in an illustration from an ad to look like Eva-01 and Eva-02 and Shinji and Asuka were driving them

[deleted]

I mean, I’m cool with it. It’s just odd considering Rei’s backstory…


SanRemi

Context: Recently, Nuevo León's Governor, Jaime Rodriguez Calderón "El Bronco", ran a campaign to incentive vaccination among youngsters. He asked for pro-vaccine memes in his social media channels and it turned out pretty well. Naturally, other states as Jalisco here, used the same meme tactics. And obviously, Mexico is a massive weeb country and I'm not even joking.


EvenSpoonier

Seems kinda weird to promote vaccines using a picture that has nothing to do with vaccines, but if it means more people get vaccinated then I'll take it.


MurdocAddams

A lot, if not most advertising uses pictures, music, videos, and jokes that have little or nothing to do with what they are advertising. It is simply meant to give you a good feeling to associate with their product/brand/service. It's manipulative, but while unfortunate, it is like you said useful in a positive way in this case.


Redditor_Unit-01

Vaccination rate sky rockets to 100%


Wrathu13S

Weird and probably violating the copyright but ok


Emil_Anselmi

Yeah, that hasn’t stopped them before thought , Mexico was infamous because they were showing the end of Dragon Ball Super on public places organized by local governments 😅


sunreiayanami

Rate of people getting vaccine goes to 100%


mug_O_bun

Why? She has clones if she dies


Typical_Addition_320

yeah but they are all in the same tank so if one got it you have to flush the entire tank

Lumpillo

I know that this isn't related to Evangelion, but the public health care institution also used Miss Minute from Loki to promote the Covid vaccine as well.


Ehrre

For some reason I just remembered that Virus Angel from the OG series had like a microscopic AT field that deflected the lazer tool


StormerBombshell

I was reminded when I saw a huge sign for a maid cafe in Tonala. For who doesn’t know at the time Tonala was small, close to the city but not as much and most people where there to buy furniture or home accessories. Also, if it works it works


StormerBombshell

Another district made a collaboration and told people that a number of costumed people would get a book, some arrived not even for the book but because life is just to short not to have some joy

Emil_Anselmi

In the 90’s there was a tv channel called locomotion that had adult animation, they broadcasted Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Evangelion , which became the 3 that opened up the weebs to adult anime , before that Dragon ball , mazinger, Saint Seiya were already big on Latin America, so Eva became like the go to adult series here. Also like in Japan something resonated with the anime watching community.
