the kaworu episode being gay as fuck doesn’t make it sexual… obviously there’s a lot of nuance about how kaworu’s the first and only character who’s just interested in shinji without wanting something from him. compare to shinji’s disgust at misato in e23 and his reaction to kissing asuka in e15. the point is to raise questions, not draw conclusions, so abruptly and right before the climax. the point isn’t to say that shinji is or isn’t gay. but it absolutely introduces queer themes to the show at the 11th hour and it’s disingenuous to suggest that reading into them at all is somehow an act of willful overinterpretation.

i also slept through evangelion episode 24

it’s not really manga titles, it’s light novel titles (being adapted as manga)

i’m not aware of any egregious examples of original manga like that

eva can absolutely power through on vibes alone if you’re depressed enough

i have seen flcl 20+ times. it’s super easy to binge and the soundtrack is killer start to finish. and i still notice new things every time.

crunchyroll fumbled the marketing for this (i.e. there was none) and fucked up the subs. i fucking hate crunchyroll.
