I remember being 14 and being really attracted to her, and seeing shinji and thinking "he's me. I'm him".
At thirty I'm rewatching it, and man they're just kids. Children. My heart breaks for them.
I'm rambling, but man it's weird to see your teenage crush stay 14. while you grow up, get a job, fall in love and get married, etc.
Least insane asuka fan
my bad
I worry about this myself. Not in this particular examples, but in general. What if you fail to move on correctly?
Lmao, that’s good. It’s less that and more an irrational fear of becoming a nijikon. I don’t even watch much anime, but the hypothetical scares me. It would be impossible to explain to anyone I know.
Dawg if you honestly think you're more likely to marry your cardboard cutout over an actual woman it's time to turn off the PC and start hanging out with people again.
I said it was an irrational fear; I’ve got normal friends, stable job, no waifu, no anime pfp, the last anime I watched was 6 months ago. I’m far far from it, it’s just I’ve noticed a growing distaste for humanity and tendency towards escapism; clearly it can happen to presumably normal-ish people sometimes.

Same here watching the show again recently i feel more identified with Gendo and i say to me i would be a better father for Shinji , poor kid
