>So I was very upset when I saw Evangelion, because it was apparent to me that the people who made it weren't thinking at all about making fun for or gaining the sympathy of the audience. Instead they tried to convince the audience to admit that everybody is sick, practically in the middle of a nervous breakdown, all the time. I don't think you should show things like that to everybody. It's not entertainment for the masses--it's much more interested in admitting that we're all depressed nervous wrecks, I thought. It was a work that told people it was okay to be depressed, and it accepted the psychological state that said if you don't like the way the world works, then it's okay to just pick up a gun and attack someone. I don't think that's a real work of art. When people see that, they begin to realize they are the same way. I think that we should try to show people how to live healthier, fuller lives, to foster their identity as a part of their community, and to encourage them to work happily until they die. I can't accept any work that doesn't say that.
So I was very upset when I saw Evangelion...
FUCK EVANGELION AND FUCK EVAFAGS
>the person responsible for Z saying this
I mean, cool.
tl;dr he's probably a big fan of molester man
Tomino has literally never been wrong about anything.
Keep in mind that this comes from the guy that directed Victory Gundam 2 years prior to Evangelion
>a series that does everything he complained Evangelion did but even more grim and dark.
>a series that tried to be the opposite of fun or sympathetic, he legitimately wanted to try and kill the Gundam franchise by being as edgy as Sunrise would allow him
>the entire cast is sick, in the middle of a nervous breakdown, all the time, depressed nervous wrecks
>there is no happy ending, 99% of the cast dies and the few who lived are traumatized and scarred for life
The fact that he has the gall to say that while directing something that edgy, nihilistic, visceral and crushing only two years before Evangelion released is ridiculous
>but even more grim and dark
Evangelion literally ends with the apocalypse where humanity ceases to exist
Yep he's retard
He did it in 1977 already.
So does Victory? If I remember right, all of the people in space die, all of the people on Earth get turned into mental toddlers and it explicitly says they'll all die off with nobody to look after them, and all that's left are children whom 99% will die off because the environment's been mostly devastated and polluted by war.
That doesn't mean anything, dude. That show exists because he fucking hated Gundam at that point, not because it's what he believes in.
Xabungle is Tomino's best anime
Tomino hates Victory Gundam and urges people not to watch it.
He didn't write Victory Gundam to be as edgy for the same reason Anno wrote Evangelion to be edgy, he wrote Victory Gundam to be edgy because he tried to kill the franchise on purpose.
Evangelion's so bleak and edgy because Anno wanted to tell a message.
Its impossible to hate Tomino for me. His works are so batshit insane with his characters being so out there they hardly register as humans making all his shit fascinating to watch
t-tomino-sama...on behalf of all evafags, I prostrate
At first, I thought that Tomino was right, but now I think that
> if you don't like the way the world works, then it's okay to just pick up a gun and attack someone.
is an actual way of solving the problem to an extent, as long as attacked people might actually be responsible.
Tomino's literally the industry's "crazy uncle who shows up at family gatherings" and I love him for it.
Gotta agree with this, happy Tomino shows are great.
EVANGELION WILL
NEVER BE TOPPED MY GOD
I fucking love bald, IRL Char.
ok 0083 is better than anything made by this hack
*0080
But yes the only good entries in the franchise weren't made by him.
Sure it looks nice but the two leads made it unbearable to watch
Based fuck eva fags
>It was a work that told people it was okay to be depressed, and it accepted the psychological state that said if you don't like the way the world works, then it's okay to just pick up a gun and attack someone
Where exactly did Eva say or imply anything like that? I haven't watched the show in years but i can't recall anything like that.
It doesn't outright say it, but the fact that you're supposed to feel sympathy and agree with the characters leads to that.
Doesn’t it end up the opposite? Shinji is finally able to break out of self hatred (and thus other-hatred).
Except the problems of the world are hardly if ever the result of a single person's or group's actions.
If the problem is a tyrannical government, then yes, killing the tyrant is usually a good idea (in some cases it actually makes things worse) if the problem is you feel disenfranchised by society, shooting up a school is not a solution.
Being angry is easy. But being angry at the right time, at the right things, at the right amount is hard as fuck. That was a quote from some Greek asshole, and he was probably right.
>muh pretty but substanceless 80s OVAs
>Except the problems of the world are hardly if ever the result of a single person's or group's actions.
Indeed, major share of our problems have systematic origin, not personal. But since we, humans, are on our own (humanity is atomised and many attempts at unification of people for some cause are either taken over and appropriated, or destroyed), it is impossible to have any other solution than personal. If you can't solve it, at least get your venegence.
>if the problem is you feel disenfranchised by society, shooting up a school is not a solution.
No argue on that.
>80s
Unironically based, evafags are for retards.
And he made a straight up mess.
