    I didn't realize that three whole people chiming in on a subject qualified as horse beating, but I guess that means half the community has commented on it already, so sorry about that.

      I lol'd.

      I find it interesting how some people project this sort of pretentiousness onto the series while others don't. I'm not going to pass value judgment on it - Gunbuster and Diebuster together shall always be Gainax's magnum opus in my heart - but it's like some sort of reverse-nostalgia effect.

        I prefer it over the original, yes, but mostly because it's more coherent and less vague. I enjoyed it purely from an entertainment POV, but I greatly dislike Shinji; even more this time around, if that's possible.

        It's a discussion that's been raging for over a decade and being dragged out from 2ch, Rotten Tomatoes and every nook and cranny of the internet into this thread.

          I was afraid this might happen. Oh well.

            While we're in this thread . . . I would have to wager that Neon Genesis Evangelion should really be considered "mainstream Anime" at this point.

              Probably asking for it by bringing up the subject again but I think I finally found an anime more depressing and melodramatic than Evangelion called Attack on Titan.

              The fanboys rave about it being deep and meaningful but it's just yet another anime adaptation of a melodramatic and overly violent anime. Think Evangelion but set in a Post-Apocalyptic quasi-medieval city rather than Post-Apocalyptic Tokyo.

              It seems popular with the teenagers that seem to like ultraviolent stuff because it's "mature" and they don't know any better, but TBH the show is average at best.

              Still one good thing is that the show doesn't mind depicting physically strong women as muscular. So the fanservice is less about impossible breasts.

                I find the "titans" disturbing, as I often think that whoever made the manga artist's shit list, will find their animated mug in one of the directed episodes.

                  I keep hearing about how I'm supposed to watch that one, but I've been putting it off. Anyone want to recommend me a sub group for it?

                    Ditto here, with the added question of "do I still want to watch this?"

                      It's up on Crunchyroll, but Attack on Titan is pretty bad and overrated. Like I said, the fans keep yelling that it's really deep and meaningful but it really is not.

                        Also: Crunchyroll's sub appears to be a pile of ass upon first glance.

                        Five minutes into this and I already hate the protagonist.

                          All I know is that ZUN named a final boss attack after it.

                            I prefer Horrible Subs if you want to watch this.

                                Okay I know I've been ragging on Attack on Titan but I do like one thing about it: the Opening Theme is pretty awesome even if the lyrics make little sense if you understand German.
