>"I wonder if a person over the age of twenty who likes robot anime is really happy. He could find greater happiness elsewhere. Regrettably, I have my doubts about his happiness."
>"I think the people who are very much involved with the internet," Mr. Anno said, "have very narrow views toward life and the world. They're always in their rooms and don't go out very often to communicate in person. Because of their information on the internet, they feel they know everything without searching the real truths." They easily and anonymously say things that they would never say in person. "Their messages are like graffiti in a public toilet." They attack other while they are staying in a safe place. "They don't have anything certain to hold on... that's probably why they watch anime shows. I would like to add and say to those fans, hey, go out and visit towns. I am 35 now and I am realizing the importance of human contact little by little..."
desu as a eva fan idk how to feel. i still love the series but fuck that japanese dickhead

Imagine being Anno and coming to terms that after 60 years of existence the only thing you did was stealing from the authors who established the industry you work in, then bitching about the "new generation" of said industry not having created anything of their own and pretending you're totally not part of that. Imagine being Anno and constantly having to face the fact that you will only be remembered for a TV series you grew to despise because all of your lofty plans of reforming the industry from within backfired spectacularly due to your own incompetence. Imagine being Anno and having to come to term every day that your plan to make your Kushana ripoff waifu popular failed and that the other waifu you thought was for losers is immensely more popular and influential. Imagine being Anno and getting called for an interview with the directors you stole from and not doing anything but meekly and respectfully agreeing with anything they say and criticize about the new generation and knowing, deep inside, that you're guilty of the same things. Imagine being Anno and waking up every day, spiteful to the people who made you rich because "they don't get it", and being so spiteful you release a series of OVA as a retelling of your holy cow that is made exclusively to piss off the people who worship you. Imagine being Anno and knowing Ikuhara will never love you and work with you on anything because, japanese façade aside, he pities you since decades and unlike you, he does whatever the hell he wants and likes his job. Imagine being Anno and looking as virile and attractive as a used up mocio vileda mop because you can't be assed to shave and groom properly.
Imagine being Hideaki Anno.

They are both from Newtype. First is from before Eva aired. Second is after ep 26.

Everything he said is true. Anonymous imageboards are for no-life losers and hateful human waste, and yes, that includes me.
Nigger i'd love to have in human contact but unfortunately i'm: 1. Autist 2. Out of uni 3. Soon to go back into lockdown So i'm going to continue lifting weights and binging monogatari and there's nothing you can do about it you skinnyfat hypocrite.
all the cliches were true and heart/nakama/bonds really are the most fulfilling and important thing

You didn't try hard enough
Lincoln Perez
i am here to discuss anime
Jason Martin
no user, this site offers some things. Like freedom of speech, dont listen a fag from japanese culture, for them eveyone should thing alike harmony and shit. But freedom of speech is valuable even in here it is kinda limited but still it is free compared to most of the web
Ayden Jackson
you can say this forever though, no matter how many places i visit i think you're just trying to waste my time
Jeremiah Adams
I feel the way anno worded might attack more than the people he meant to attack. This lifestyle certainly supports the mindset he is criticizing, but not everyone is doomed to that. Anyway enjoy your monogatari rewatch
Michael Jackson
anno got acceptance from whole fan base and japan. Now faggot thinks everyone can achieve same thing. You should try but don't hate from urself if you can't achieve.
Eli Sanchez
Yeah I know what he's trying to say I was more just lamenting that this year is against me trying to become a normie lmao. >Anyway enjoy your monogatari rewatch It's a first watch, halfway through and i'm already utterly obsessed and loving it
Hudson Powell
Look user what i said was more of a shitpost but if posting on an anime imageboard is your version of going to different towns and meeting people then good on you.
Charles Young
If you like deep diving in shit to be able to do that go ahead. There are probably better sites though, I hope there are.
Adrian Lewis
Delete this, all those edgy internet posts that influenced my taste as a teen didn't tell me about this!!!
John Gray
>no you can't like robots >no you can't like anime >no, you can't like Zig Forums either Where do these miserable sacks of shit come from? Why do they want everyone to do nothing but work and watch paint dry? What is this obsession with, "maturity"?
Charles Young
this ano guy thinks everyone has depression
Austin Hill
this >u have narrow view of world! yeah fucker i didn't know everyone supposed to be a philosopher.
Colton Thomas
Really cringe quote. He probably realised for the first time he'd be less depressed if he left his room and thought he'd stumbled on some great discovery
Luis Wright
Wow so original! Technology is making us worse people. So? Human beings in general are not good. Can't Boomers come up anything more to say than TECHNOLOGY BAD! BACK IN MY DAY EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. I don't really care if I sound edgy it's not gonna change the fact that shit ain't gonna change
>be Anno >be over 20 >like robot anime >make robot anime >ruin anime for 30 years >be Anno
Connor Hall
For some reason i can't take this quote seriously considering most people i know who loves Mecha anime and collect gunpla are relatively succesful people
