 This is super nichely autistic but good heavens I love it if it’s true. It very much captures the fun of dating, when you get into “games” and actually enjoy the chase. 

It makes the wins even more enjoyable, and if you stick together, plenty of fun memories to savor later when things get tough

 I still don't understand why he didn't just get in the fucking robot. 
 @The Omegle Man @Springtime for Zeon (Woggy Mk II) @jet 
Cause he's a fucking child and being in the robot sucks. 
 Excuse me the average child would do forward rolls through broken glass in a pub urinal to ride in a giant robot.
My theory is that Shinji has Downs but you can't tell because anime faces all look the same, essentially the polar opposite of this.
God damn Evangelion is shit.

 Hey I remember that one.  Yeah I totally should, ta.

This is what I mean when I say I feel like I'm the only one who likes the show. Despite it's supposed popularity I can't talk about it with anybody. I'm like a reverse hipster, jumping on something super popular because I actually like it unlike the people who have been "fans" of it for years. 
 I do not like Evangelion or Gainax anime in general, I just have a hard on for Rei and Asuka especially. I think that's like 90% of the discourse.

 Evangelion is okay as "your first anime" but if you have good taste, you move away from it.

I feel like it'd be terrible for that, considering how out there it is. And if they have the idea that anime is just for perverts is probably the worst, considering both that it deals with sex as a theme and what the online discourse is like. Really I think if you want people to get into anime you need to tailor your recommendations to them. For example if they like capeshit recommend them your favorite battle-shounen. 
 It has giant well animated motherfucking robots, cute girls and some nonsensical story, which is perfect to discuss if you dont know any better. 
 i understand it because its all recycled themes from his earlier shows and its p decent in that context

i just think outside of nice designs and music it's not that remarkable let alone being the massive meme tier show it is

 The robot fights are actually pretty good, shame about everything else. 
 Legit learned from this post.
