Description I hope you enjoy this small 6 panel comic I made. It's based on the Evangelion characters Shinji and Asuka.

I speak a little German, but I always thought about how Shinji must feel whenever Asuka would go ona rant in German. She's just bitching him out and he has NO idea what she is even saying.
I do think this is how many fans feel.

This was hand drawn in pencil, but I scaned and inked on my computer. I was just trying something new. I normaly ink by hand.

That is pretty funny. I know alittle German when I first saw Eva. Asuka just always b**** out Shinji in German like everytime he did something wrong and he had no idea why. LOL! ^_^ fav

Thanks. Shinji's complete lack of understanding is part of this image.

I know how he feels. I went studying abroad and I rarely had any idea what anyone was saying.

That's why I strongly believe one should learn a language if they plan to live in a country.

WΓΌnderwar!!!
Well spelled german words! That's a really funny comic. I wonder why the creators of Evangelion never contemplated such funny situation for the anime!

Danke!
I'm glad to see someone appreciated my German. I had someone resently giving me crap over the grammer. he said something about how the word is correct, but no one says it. I told him that if the word exists then someone must say it.

The Evangelion writers had a much more serious story on their hands.

Grammer...
You may not believe it but in fact my dad used to say all those phrases and terms exactly as pictured here. I also use them (Specially when I want to insult someone in a language not very spoken around here. I live in San Juan, Argentina though I'm german)

I believe he was talking about the "perverser mensch". Seems it was a lil' too proper for that person.

Yeah, too bad a lot of those insults sound almost the same as the American and British words. "Idiot" as an example.

Hahahaha, great job!! You know? i always wondered that very same thing... ok, so i had a general idea (she's bitching around) but didn't know EXACTLY what she was saying, untill i started studying German with my sis', what mean girl. I would understand Shinji being confused, poor guy...

FoxxFireArt In reply to Guilgamesh [2007-01-31 00:02:24 +0000 UTC]

I got the idea mainly from the funny look Shinji would get when she starts her rants.

BloodyMarrie [2007-01-22 15:40:12 +0000 UTC]

Well... Nobody says "Perverser Mensch". Maybe you can rather say: "Perversling, Perverser Typ, Spanner"

That fits more^^

FoxxFireArt In reply to BloodyMarrie [2007-01-22 20:00:56 +0000 UTC]

Asuka does say it in the series. I believe it was when she's ranting at him after the battle with the 6th Angel. That's why I used it.
Also if no one said it, then the term wouldn't exists.

Please believe me, German is my mother tongue and here, nobody says "Perverser Mensch". Even tough the Grammar is pretty right.

I'm half German myself. Like I said. In the series she does say that. Also remember she's ranting. It's suppose to be weird and random. Just because it's not often heard doesn't mean it can't be used.

Uglymuffintop In reply to ??? [2007-01-12 04:48:09 +0000 UTC]

And I always thought Shinji knew exactly what Asuka was ranting about in German. That was quite hilarious, and nicely drawn.

Nope he doesn't speak German. Not people people seem to remember that scene when he listens in on Asuka talking with her step mother.

I always thought that it was perfectly clear to him what she could be ranting about XD

FoxxFireArt In reply to Wolcik [2006-12-11 08:48:15 +0000 UTC]

I don't think so. He wasn't very bright and I doubt he could just know German. Also there was something implying to this in one of the later episodes where Asuka was talking to her stepmother.

Thanks. I thought when Asuka would go on a German rant Shinji must be rather confused.
