Lmao, haven't laughed that hard in a minute, bravo!
Shinji, look I know you’re scared but you’re the only one to pilot the evangelion! Now come on we got to go!
You will get in that fucking robot, Shinji.
Beat me by 3 mins…
I was thinking the same thing
Come on Shinji, you have to save the world
Now wipe the drool off your lips and follow me.
We'll do the rest later.
so gross in retrospect
Eh the city, and world, could end if he doesnt get off his ass into the damn robot
What a fucking line break.
holy shit lol
trueeee
Your friends love you, now get in the robot!
'It's just like one of my Japanese Anime'
a lemmy user or ledditor probably
She is literally in Misato cosplay though.
You want a big boy kiss?
Considering the height of their shoes, they are about the same height.
Damn, great composition
Good lord I desperately want to know what is going on here. Where are they? What are they talking about? What is their relationship?
I am so curious!!!
I don't know whether I'm being helpful here or ruining a joke for everyone by being an oblivious and highly literal nerd but in case it's the former. These people are recreating a scene from a famous anime from 1995 called in English 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' or in this case one of the feature length films made after the tv series' run called 'End of Evangelion' (1997), which serves as a more complete ending to the original series. The scene in question is one of many in the film and series where the main character Shinji has a crisis of confidence and is unwilling to pilot one of the giant robots the series is ostensibly about and the character Misato attempts to talk him back to his senses.
Shinji's personal crisis comes at the worst time as he is at this point the only person on earth left able to pilot one of the robots and save humanity from a threat that is actively at play while at the same time the facility they're in which operates these robots is under an active assault by a specific faction of people sweeping the complex murdering everyone. In the lead up to the moment portrayed in this image Misato is trying to escort Shinji to the hangar in a last ditched effort to save him so he can pilot his robot before it's too late. The scene is kinda fucked up because in trying to snap Shinji out of his breakdown Misato kisses him and says "we'll do the rest later", but she's like 28 and he's 14. The frame they're recreating in this shot is a few seconds before that kiss.
Thank you! I'm not super into anime so I had no clue. 🙏
You're being very helpful, thanks! Wasn't aware of what this was referring me to, and also know basically nothing of that anime. I'll add it to my watch list, thanks again!
Be prepared that it looks like it'll be a giant robot anime but it's far more about trauma in its many forms.
Robot?
Best shorthand I think, also sounds funnier too :)
"Get in the Eva, Shinji!"
He's for sure getting dumped
honestly it gives me disappointed big sister vibes
Asuka could really have used some help with the MPs, Shinji.
"you probably shouldn't have done that while they were unconscious..."
