Neon Genesis Evangelion Girlfriend Of Steel 2nd

Evangelion but Make it...Slice of Life?

Okay, imagine Neon Genesis Evangelion. You know, giant robots, angels trying to destroy humanity, existential angst...heavy stuff. Now, picture all that angst dialed way down, replaced with sunshine, school dances, and maybe, just maybe, a little romance.

That's basically Girlfriend of Steel 2nd. It's a spin-off game that takes the familiar characters and throws them into a completely different setting.

Shinji Gets a Normal-ish Life (Sort Of)

Remember how poor Shinji was always suffering? Well, in this world, he gets a chance at a (relatively) normal high school life. He still pilots an Evangelion, but it's more like a part-time job than a constant struggle against the end of the world.

Imagine him having to juggle saving humanity with... homework! It's a hilarious contrast.

Asuka: Tsundere Level: Over 9000

And then there's Asuka, the fiery redhead with a serious attitude problem. In Girlfriend of Steel 2nd, she's still Asuka, which means she's still a total tsundere (that's someone who's prickly on the outside but secretly has a soft spot).

Watching her try to navigate high school crushes while maintaining her tough girl image is pure comedic gold. Get ready for lots of blushing and insults thrown with affection!

The Romantic Shenanigans

The main draw of the game? The romantic possibilities! Shinji can actually pursue relationships with the female characters, including Asuka, Rei, and even some new faces.

Imagine choosing dialogue options that actually lead to something other than existential dread! Who knew Shinji had it in him?

Each route offers a unique and often heartwarming story. Get ready to see these characters in a whole new light.

Where's the End of the World Angst?

Okay, so the Angels aren't exactly trying to destroy the world in this version. Instead, the threat is…something else entirely. Without spoiling too much, let's just say there are still some mysteries to unravel.

The stakes might be lower, but there are still secrets to discover. Don't expect sunshine and rainbows all the time!

Why You Might Love It

Girlfriend of Steel 2nd is a fun, lighthearted take on a beloved series. It’s a chance to see these characters in a context you’d never expect. It's basically fanfiction come to life, and sometimes that's exactly what we need.

It offers a break from the darkness and allows us to enjoy the personalities of Evangelion's cast without the overwhelming sense of dread.

So, if you're looking for something a little different, give it a try. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy seeing Shinji finally catch a break...and maybe even a girlfriend.
