>>467722They're right about JoJo though. It does have some cool subtext, themes and symbolism. And characters' personalities, storylines, and designs can sometimes be based on the songs/artists they're based on which is kind of a fun easter egg thing, you don't 100% need to know it to enjoy or understand the story, but it does enhance it. JoJo doesn't claim to be some genius masterpiece that's there to change society or something, because it doesn't need to, and it still achieves it better than Eva ever did. You can still enjoy JoJo without reading too deep into it, but I don't think the same can be said about Eva since it's whole thing is attempting to be deep, and if the depth doesn't appeal to you, you can't really enjoy it for the mecha stuff for example or the characters (because they're are trash and insufferable), and you'll be told you just don't get it and are watching it wrong or something. It did this to itself though by trying to be on the nose with its philosophy shit. JoJo just exists and doesn't try to appeal to everyone and knows its niche. It's basically pretentious Eva vs. down to earth JoJo. I'd take the latter any time. The characters' struggles and development was also more enjoyable and relatable and better in JoJo parts 6-part 8. They put into words certain feelings and experiences and it feels very cathartic to see it finally said/done, and kinda unexpected when you don't take JoJo seriously. Can't say I felt the same about Eva when I watched it.
