Anno may not have taken any drugs, but he damn near created one. A helplessly addicting dive into the psyche, full of Freudian symbols and rapidly flashing images that leave you in altered state of mind and questioning who you are by the end of it, complete with random flashbacks years after the fa...

@Bagheera If you are going to question my knowledge of the plot of Eva, then how about you actually list a canon fact(s) instead of just essentially saying ,"No, you are wrong. You are either too uninformed in you careless multiple watching over the years of Eva, or too stupid to have a proper ...

First, apologies for veering off the topic of the manga for a moment here. My own personal view is that, as an encyclopaedia of Neon Genesis-era Eva, the Essential Evangelion Chronicle books aim to cover everything presented to the audience, including the rehearsal scene from Death & Rebirth. S...

Dunno if you noticed, Kouzou, but the female Eva pilots aren't actually limited in combat by their poor pathetic female anthropoid ape bodies. They're controlling biological weapons with their minds. And, well, this is fiction, so Anno can do anything he wants. If he shows that female Eva pilots ar...

You DO see some on her things & bottom, tho (See how she climbs ) I'm part hispanic and had boobage even larger than Mari ever since age 14, so it's a bit hard not to take this whole "large boobs & eccentric personality = joke" a bit personally... Same for "optimistic, presen...

None of your theorizing here is well-founded. Every time you say "probably" or "likely" or "almost certainly" or anything similar it's code for "I am completely making this up, just trust me." But a careful reading of the show will quickly show that there is ...

The fact that it is not a formal debate does not mean the things you are saying are not flatly wrong. The fact is that Kaworu did not stop 4I, while Mari clearly did. It is also true that she has more autonomy than most other characters in the series, the only real exception being Kaji. She is far ...

The point is rather that he didn't, and Shinji went ahead regardless! We don't know the full effects of an impact in the Rebuild universe yet, so that's mostly guesswork. Then why didn't it stop before Mari took action? Resorting to gratuitous sexist insults does not improve any argument. 1. Kaworu...

After Kaworu dies we hear (and see): "The Gates of Guf aren't closing yet!" "Our little doggy must be Seele's insurance policy!" Then Mari ejects Shinji, the Eva goes dull, and the impact stops. This makes it clear that Shinji is still an impact trigger in his own right even aft...

The film went to the trouble of telling us otherwise quite explicitly. Elaborate. Kaworu impaled the eva and allowed himself, the now 13th angel to die. Mari only did the follow up action. Even in the core fight, Mari was support for Asuka. Further, given that Kaworu's image was shown briefly befor...

Even though she shows the least amount of skin in the whole film series She isn't a main character so she doesn't show as much. Ritsuko is in the movies far more, yet she shows far less. Rei and Asuka, especially in the series, are already well established in depth. We know their histories. They ar...

.........You didn't read any of the replies did you? Read em', challenged em'. I mentioned that they mentioned Rei out doing her afterall. Mari is fan service/ voice of the veteran audience, she isn't meant to be taken seriously. Not yet at least. Think about it. Foreign voluptuous girl, wearing gl...

@Ray: I overall agree :) Mari is what Anno and Gainax promise, fan service :) The issue isn't her bust size persay, but that she acts and looks similar to a mid-teenage girl like the others, yet has far larger breats and booty compared to Asuka or Rei or the norm, thus voluptuous fan service lol Th...

I was 16 and saw the episode where Shinji lays next to Asuka and almost kisses her on my friends tv at his house. Then I started watching it on Cartoon Network and re-watched it periodically over the years, especially the first 2 years I knew of it. I have seen EoE and the series over a dozen times ...

No it shouldn't. The original canonicity is strictly enclosed to The original Episodes 1-26, including the director's cut, and the EoE. Even Death and Rebirth's rehearsal scene should obviously not considered canonical. Sadamoto may have contributed with opinions for the char designs, but in the en...

I don't think there's anything arguable about the new movies favoring any sort of ship (it pretty clearly favors none), and I'd bet money that reversing time in any capacity simply isn't on the table (you can not redo). We have Asuka cooking for Shinji and sacrificing for him, being the relatable u...

Feel free to share your opinion

As a supporter of Shinji and Rei, I must say this is both well done and awesome/tastefully romantic and sexual interpretation of EoE

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, working with Anno's idea's and suggestions, came up with the character designs for most of Eva's characters. He does have a little ethos. However, this is Anno's brain child and magnum opus, even when he was doing it as a part of Gainax (a founding member too), and Anno has the f...

If there hadn't been the volume of demand for it that there was I imagine Anno would've been fine with just walking away from the series (and anime in general) in frustration after EoTV. He ended up doing that anyway midway through Kare Kano . I agree. Granted, there is a chance he might have anywa...

The real question is whether Shinji will be able to reverse time to avoid his incomplete 3rd Impact, whether it IS a continuation or NOT lol, and above all whether the narrative will continue to favor Shinji and Asuka's love story, since it arguably is favoring my favorite version, Shinji with his k...
