Dude, don't even get me started, I still haven't gotten over the meat-grinder that Hideaki Anno put Asuka through in EoE, Shinji had it bad but holy shit that man was absolutely sadistic towards her.He probably secretly hate gingers or some shit.
That last comment might have been in jest or might have been entirely serious. The dude was so fucked up in the head during that moment in time that there was supposed to have been a scene in where Shinji would've picked up a dismembered arm, and IIRC, it would be heavily hinted that it was one of Asuka's arms.
Everyone likes to say that Asuka was Anno's favorite character but they simply do not understand what Anno meant when he said that, she was his favorite in the sense that it was when writing her, that when his writing shined the most, but as far as being emotionally attached to his creation (specifically Asuka), he was the complete opposite of that.
Hideki anno doesn't hate asuka. Asuka, like all the other characters in the show are dealing with traumas that result in toxic relations with regards to shinji. Her treatment in end of evangelion was not to take sadistic pleasure in her pain, but to put her in a situation of hurt and trauma and loss of personal agency while shinji still simps over her because anno hates shinji.
He did this to show how fucked up shinji was sexualizing this girl and capitalizing on her loss of agency because in EoE, shinji is annos representation of the audience.
The audience who saw asuka separate from shinji because her reasons for being with him were unhealthy, and shinji finding his healthiest relation in a homoerotic relationship with someone he just met as bad, and how shinji should have stayed with asuka, all throwing a bitch fit over this to the point that they sent death threats to anno enough to get him to contemplate suicide.
That is the mindset he approached End of Eva from.
I don't buy it. Nothing can convince me otherwise.
