Berserk is good and definitely worth watching. And the OST is pretty good, not AOT level, but good and with catchy songs. That being said the manga is ridiculously awesome. To bad a lot was left out from the 90's show but that's probably because the tv censors would of not allowed it.

2024-05-09 18:36:36 +0000 UTCAnd suddenly a penguin appears on the screen. Try to see it from a different perspective: you're a penguin, you're having a nice bath and when you leave the bathroom a new roommate suddenly holds his thing in your face π. The anime plays a lot with perspectives, symbolism, visualization, etc. With some things I'm still not sure if it's intentional (like you said, we see Misato from certain perspectives because Shinji sees her that way or if it's fanservice). A lot between the lines. You will love it. It's really hard when you think that Rei and Shinji were in the same hospital. And the way Ritsuko asked Shinji's father βHow was Rei?β (at 22:04) and the conversation afterwards. Yes, Shinji's father was at the hospital to visit Rei to see how she was doing. But not his son. He only saw him by chance when he was taking the elevator in the hospital. When I watched the anime for the first time: With the 2nd episode I realized that the anime is really extraordinary. The visualization in the hospital alone. The change of color and that it seemed so artificially calm. Just like you say the anime is really immersive and then on top of that the cosmic horror made me want to see more.

2024-05-09 14:47:50 +0000 UTCTo answer your question at the end: When I first watched this episode I was so intrigued that I ended up buying the rest of the series one VHS tape at a time from the local anime store for ~$25 a pop. Yes I am dating myself with this post XD. I was hooked by the cosmic horror and the promise of a narrative grounded at the same time in detailed science fiction. Without spoiling anything I can only say that I had no idea what I was in for :)

2024-05-09 04:54:57 +0000 UTC~32:30 the sequence of the Eva forming an eye, then looking at Shinji, and Shinji connected to the Eva looking through that eye at himself, which is looking at the Eva, and then screaming was such a great way to end the episode. IMHO Ep 1 and 2 should always be watched together as the pilot at a minimum.

2024-05-09 04:50:19 +0000 UTC~20:50 when she picks up the beer bottle, there's a visual gag that wasn't translated. The container behind the beer bottle is labelled "toothpicks". Not important to the narrative but things like this are why why I watch fansubs.

2024-05-09 04:36:57 +0000 UTCah, yes, more psychological horror about giant devils with humans in their neck :P

2024-05-09 02:21:59 +0000 UTCβThere is penguin looking on his dickβ π£οΈπ£οΈπ£οΈ Itβs definitely top 10 anime reactions in my life :) Misato, captain girl, is surely drinking alcohol a lot, you guessed right. Honestly, I am a little bit confused, why you changed your mind after scene of fridge full of beer π€ I think that Eva is perfect anime for your reaction, because you like to read between the lines and always try to analyze things on the screen β and massive part of Eva plot and settings are told through hints and allusions.
