A comparison of Evangelion fans to Gundam fans made by Fuji TV at the recent openings of the two giant robot statues (Gundam and the Eva unit) has upset many, although whether its truthiness is actually in doubt is hard to say.
Eva fans:
Young women
Couples
Have mobile phones
Gundam fans:
Middle-aged men
Alone
Have SLR cameras

and now i'm glad to like eva more than gundam.. now i gotta buy a better mobile phone
you want awesome story....try macross
Pfft. You thought Eva was mind fuck? You should watch Boku no Pico. THAT WAS SOME FKED UP SHIT MAN.
Shinji Ikari is the epitome of faggotry.
Eva was awesome, but if I want to watch Gundam, I'm going to original or Zeta. A lot of the newer Gundam is A. BEEN DONE BEFORE BY GUNDAM! and B. So freaking emo at spots I wanna punch someone.
That's cause retards, Eva unit is at Fuji Q theme park, and Gundam unit is a stand alone attraction. You bring your girlfriend on a lollercoaster not an SLR camera.
because these women like feminine robot called EVA
and some might even have SHOTA fetish when looking at shinji.
gundam is for real MEN! bulky mech detailed politics war situation. ints almost impossible for girl to like gundam. ,,, but wait, i met a japanese girl who are crazy about gundam before... hmm.
before shinji can man up, a gundam wouldve already pwned his whiny ass :p
inb4 knightmare frame
According to some crows on Sgt. Frog, they both suck and Macross is where it's at. XD And why are they some upset anyway? Gundams are manly. Even Noble Gundam is awesome.
It's a shame I like both.However they have their whiney emo bitches. Maybe one day we could see either without the emo whiney bitches.
I think if the man with the SLR camera still loves Gundam in his middle ages this just shows how influential the franchise actually is. Also what evidence do they have to say he's alone did they stop and ask him. Gundam is over 30 years old and has created over a dozen different series. Evagelion is just a 26 episode TV series in which they have repeated the same story like 3 times now with exactly the same story. At least with Gundam they had the common decency to make it different not platently repeat the same show over and over again.
trolsl trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls
Both are full of retarded fanboys, yet eva has all the retarded one.
Gundam has the elitist ones
HMM
GUESS I'M GOIN WITH EVA
WOMEN N CELLz SOUND SUPA APPEALIN'
Eva fans
-Young women
-Couples
-Have mobile phones
Gundam fans
-Middle-aged men
-Alone
-Have SLR cameras
Conclusion:
Gundam fans are GAR, while Eva fans are kids? :P
They maybe GAR but there gonna die off if there lonely so the gundam fanbase will become extinct.
What about otakus? they are always lonely and wont becone extintic
Like any kind of media, music, movies, video games, television shows it is subjective to one's personal PERCEPTION.
So if one thinks Eva is not deep and the other believes so, it is inarguable because Eva is subjective to one's perception.
Personally, from my perception, I believe Eva CAN be a very deep show especially for those who have been through tough/hard experiences.
Once again, from my perspective, it was extremely psychological and freaking played/released with emotions I thought I never had or had only kept to myself/locked away. A life changer for me.
Actually I'm a fan of them both as they both have their good points.
As for the comparison of the fans all that proves is Gundam is an older series and has older fans.
BTW a camera phone even a Nokia or Driod is a very poor substitute for a good DSLR.
The best phone cameras are about as good as a Walmart special with a non interchangeable lens and crap CMOS light sensor.
BTW mega pixels is a meaningless number more full of sh-- then megahertz.
The sensors on the MER rovers are only 1MP yet take better pictures then any phone I seen.
My Nexus One takes better photos than my recent Digital Compact Camera. Pretty impressive really... you should check out the new smartphones.
They have improved greatly my N82 takes pretty good pics in day light.
Though it does fall flat in low light.
But a great camera will always be too large to put a in a reasonably compact phone.
It's because of the laws of physics as to get a great picture you have have lenses and sensors large enough catch enough photons to get the detail.
When talking sensors size does matter a 1/2" sensor will outperform a 1/3" sensor of otherwise equal specs.
The only sane char in EVA is pen pen.
Look i like Gundam both UC and non-UC but Eva still kicks its ass.
Shit is on like Donkey Kong...it's gonna crack,man
Gundam fans rule!
:-D
How can one say eva isn't deep? Clearly that person lacks any of the required knowledge and experience that would show it is quite deep.
I guess having cultural analysts, psychologists, and myriads of professors around the world writing lengthy essays on the merits of Evas depth has no meaning to you all. I guess a doctor with dozens of years of education and training is wrong when he says Eva is a profoundly deep piece of work.
Do any of you read academic work, classic literature, literary and cultural criticisms? Hasn't anyone seen the Mechademia papers published by Univ of Minnesota press, or Dr. Susan J Napier's writings, or how about Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams. There is a fascinating paper about Eva and Lain in the book, not to mention many wonderful articles examining Japanese science fiction and anime. Try Hiroki Azuma's English site and read his piece titled "Anime or Something Like it" After that, realize your mind's aren't equipped to appreciate Eva and then watch some Bleach or Naruto, it won't cause you to think , so no worries.
Eva is the finest piece of animation to be created thus far. The only thing that comes even close to it is Ghost in the Shell, works by Satoshi Kon, and maybe Lain but that's being awful generous.
Eva= good basic idea, good start, good evolution,good animation,good characters, creative work, good en... wait.... no, the end isn't good... the end is a piece of sh@#@$#$
Gundam = tier list...
high tier: Zeta, seed, F91, unicorn, char's counter attack, 08 MS Team
mid tier: gundam 00, victory, turn a gundam,wing ..
low tier: seed desteny, ZZ, X
lol(W) tier: super deformed, G Gundam (lol master)
final conclusion...
Gudam and eva < Tengen toppa guren lagann!!!!!!!!
true to that lol
Dorks with acne watch Gundam. Cool people watch EVA. FACT
And there's nothing with Shinji being gay, you bigots!
Shinji is a worthless gay. I wouldn't really mind him being gay if he wasn't worthless.
I suppose there's one or two good shows on Gundam side although their essence is completely different. EVA is more psychological and Gundam is more about war and its consequences on the young and old generations.
Well, the camera WAS cooler.
Gundam are cooler, but srsly, I think evas could kick their asses, they can run and are much bigger. I'm speaking of course of old school rx 78 models tho. I don't know about all this 00
Eva is a copy of IDEON another work of Yoshiyuki Tomino the creator of Gundam.
Its nerds vs nerds. There are only loosers in this game, no winners
You included.
Humanoid Robot that becomes god and turns everyone into LCL vs. Robots that have long boring unoriginal space battles. I think it's obvious who wins.
It's an EVA!
I'm not a big fan of both :\
wtf is eva? and gundams are like giant spaceships that turn into cars right? some of my friends have the action figures and play with them sometimes. i really like the one that turns into a red firetruck.
lol obvious troll is obvious
Get out of here barbarian/ montana man.
Die already faggot.
Yeah i doubt he was even trying XD
two sets of fans
oh the shenanigans that'll happen
im a EVANGUNDAM fan! °3°
Woah, there. They're both awesome, and both of them have fujoshi in the fanbase. It's just there are more women interested in Evangelion because KaworuxShinji came really close to canon and they squealed over it.
I'm still for Gundams, since light shows and full-scale statues are more awesome than disembodied heads.
The only thing this actually proves is that Gundam is a much older anime with older fans.
Mobile Suit Gundam: April 7, 1979
Neon Genesis Evangelion: October 4, 1995
Thats a 16 year difference.
Also deep in the corners of 2channel Otaku say that if you try to compare the two series Char will come for you piloting a Eva and kill you by mindfuck.
Derp.
Yeah. Dont even try bother Char.
think of the Lolis
lol Char is one badass motherfucker.
he's so bad-ass that he even has his own theme song
I don't think age has anything to do w/ it, from what's planned for the "full size" Eva, I'd say Eva fans are just lazy,lol
Looks like EVA fans need to catch up with the Gundam ones.
