Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
Is anybody watching Bananafish? It seems like the only new anime of this season worth watching for me, but I'm busy with Monster right now, and it's gonna take a while.. .

Re: Favourite piece from the Eva OSTs?
Hot take: the best song in Eva is Soul's Refrain (I never liked the overblown gospel-like coda of KsT).

Re: Darling in the Franxx (Studio Trigger)
I finished to binge-watch DitF recently. I had it on my radar for months but I prefer to wait for series to be over before watching them. Anyway, I entered the show with low expectations but quite curious, needless to say it was a frustrating experience. First, I had no particular issue with the &qu...

Re: Favourite piece from the Eva OSTs?
I'd say Robe des Champs from the second Rebuild movie right now (it's the soundtrack used when Kaji tells Shinji about Misato and her presence to the impact). Short but incredibly powerful and beautiful - and originally used in Kare Kano. Very close to that track I'd put Thanatosand 閉塞の拡大 from EoE.

Re: Is there any good NGE fanfic?
@amitakartok sorry for the late reply. I feel like others have already answered with objections similar to the ones I would have made. it's maybe a bit tricky, because Bagheera mentioned some ground rules that some (me included) can feel """objective""" for writing &quo...

Re: Is there any good NGE fanfic?
I discovered this thread only after the last post and found it very interesting as I completely agree with Bagheera's first post. I'd love to read more EVA fanfic but I could not care less about AU, crossovers, or time travels. Over-exposition is also the other common problem I found in so many stor...

Re: What did you expect going into the show?
That's the best way. I discovered in TV years ago (starting from the second episode), and at the time I did not have internet at home. No spoilers, no reviews, no binge watching: an unadulterated experience.
What a rollercoaster it was!

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
I'm halfway through Box of Goblins . Very intriguing, but also quite convoluted. The characters talk A LOT* and the show is full of references to Japanese culture and language like Mushishi and Bakemonogatari, it's not particularly easy to follow. Overall it is definitely a series with lots of perso...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
I think is quite an overreach to say that somehow Misato had any real role in Shinji's decision at the end of the second rebuild movie - probably he didn't even hear her. I think that scene wants to tell you more about Misato (and highlight the cruel irony of Shinji's choice) than about what Shinji ...

Re: Last Movie You Watched
I watched Annihilation too yesterday, really enjoyed it. I think Garland did a good work in adapting what was the first part of Vandermeer's trilogy in one coherent movie, with its own ending. The movie got progressively better - the final act is amazing - and Barrow's (Portishead) work for the soun...

Yeah that sounds quite realistic in the context of the NTE, definitely tamer than NGE

Re: Does Sadamoto ship Shinji and Asuka?
I always got the feeling that Sadamoto never truly "got" the gist of Anno's story. I find the ending of the manga quite awful. Overall I appreciate only his artwork (often stupendous), Kaji's backstory, and the scene with Ritsuko trying to strangling Rei, quite violent and unexpected, but ...

Shinji's last words in Ep. 21
At the end of the episode Shinji sees Misato crying in the kitchen, as she just learned of Kaji's fate. It is implied that Shinji did not listen to Kaji's message, as he is showed listening to the SDAT and stopping only when he hears Misato's cry (this would open another question, when and how he kn...

Re: Introduction, Toxicity of AsuShin and other things
Or maybe Anno sees that the relation between the two has been meaningfully fleshed out in NGE+EoE, and that NTE is an occasion to try something new.
It seems more likely to me.

Re: Stuff that you would like to see in Evangelion 3.0+1.0
I'd like to experience the same feelings of fear, depression, and wonder that I felt the first time I saw the fight-less mid-part of Q, and also that sense of anything-is-possible-at-this-point present in EoE.
and after that, a 12 episode show on the events of the time skip asd

@Reichu, how do you relate your argument to Naoko's attempt to salvage Yui? Do you think Rei had already "emerged" by then?
