Haruhi Suzumiya/WMG/Misc: Difference between revisions

== [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] is a previous iteration of Haruhi's universe, and Asuka a previous incarnation of her ==

Haruhi developed an interest in mecha anime, conspiracy theories, esoteric mysticism, and psychology, and decided to create a universe based on them to entertain herself for a while. unfortunately, things went horribly wrong, and she decided to scrap that universe and create a somewhat nicer, more normal one to apologize to the people she made suffer, and surrounding herself with people she knew in that life: Rei as guess fucking who, Kaworu as Itsuki, Misato as Tsuruya, and of course, [[Those Two Guys]] as [[Those Two Guys|those two other guys]]. Meanwhile, [[Butt Monkey|Shinji]] is [[The Chew Toy|Mikuru]] and Gendo is Kyon (Gendo even looks like a grown-up battered-down Kyon), partly to punish them, but also to ensure Gendo/Kyon can use his bastardry to indirectly play God if need be. She's mostly happy now, but occasionally, her dreams are haunted by strange, destructive, incomprehensible giants wreaking havoc on the works of man...

* Alternately, Shinji is Kyon and Mikuru is Gendo.

** Having possibly treated Shinji the worst in the original universe to the point of disgusting even other jerkasses (such as herself), she gave him Gendo's confidence/stoicism/whathaveyou to toughen him up, and gave him the ability to indirectly play god to make up for what she put him through in the old universe. [[Can't Spit It Out|However, she still can't admit]] [[Tsundere|that she likes him,]] [[Butt Monkey|and kept him unlucky for her own amusement.]]

** So its persistence is a result of [[Executive Meddling]]. [[Kyoto Animation]] saw that this show was practically an open surgery and ripped it apart to create a confused fanbase that would embarrass the above authors. I still refuse to believe that the spinoff series are official products, but if they are, then all the better for this theory.

*** Seven of the novels were published before the anime came about, before it was this apparent cash cow.
