Welcome to the NHK

Sorry about the Harem Anime reaction.

I want to watch more but I'll have to find the third episode in english.

Ikari Shinji wrote:By the way, if you're looking to watch another anime with an avoidant main character in it, you can watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. The main character, Ikari Shinji (my avatar right there is a picture of him), is a 14 year old avoidant kid who was chosen to pilot a giant robot to save humanity. It starts out like a normal series but in the later episodes things get deeper and more complicated with two different endings that shock anybody who sees them. All of the main cast of the series are broken as well, there is a narcissist, a schizoid, a dependent and a psychopath. The only thing that I warn you about is that it can be HEAVY on the psychological and philosophical jargon, best enjoyed if you are knowledgeable about the subjects.

“Hell no, I'm not gonna bother. You kids are hopeless”
~ Sigmund Freud on Shinji, Rei and Asuka after their first therapy session.

Ikari Shinji: The aforementioned loser. His hobbies include depression, whining, bitching and wallowing in extreme angst, being a loser, masturbating...

Asuka the Grouch: The aforementioned annoying, vile and hypersexualized German bitch. Her mother's father was the love child of Adolf Hitler and the Anti-Christ. She was operated on in a lab to have the soul of Satan himself put into her body...

Ayanami Rei: The generic blue-haired girl with uncanny superpowers but a personality cut out of cardboard. Her hobbies include reading, staring out the window, staring at the wall, staring into space, boring people to death...
