I am a regular attendee of Animazement, and I can tell you that the musical was brilliant. Lots of jokes packed in for fans of the series, a few jokes for those who happen to understand German phonology, and a few jokes one would get if one attended Phil Lee's annual Anime Hell at Animazement. U...

Forgive me if this has before been posted, but having seen this on Christmas Eve, I decided to post while it was still fresh in my mind. The word Gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "goodspell", which litterally means "good news". The orgin of all this "good news" bu...

And what, praytell, would come in a Seele Happy Meal?

Yeah, but he's a geezer with a visor that looks like Geordi LaForge's visor.

I know teenagers these days can really associate with Geordi LaForge.

If you can swing the young populace to your position, you're all set. All Seele needed was a cool advertising slogan to sell the Human Instrumentality Project. Here's one: Human Instrumentality Project = H.I.P. Slogan: Are you H.I.P.? Now, imagine Kiel smiling charasmatically, with the sloga...

From a little musing done on the series, I have come to these conclusions that I post here for the sake of earnest debate. My first point is that the Angels are not the villians of the series. They are a "force of nature", much like the wind, or an earthquake, or a tidal wave. They were go...

It seems to me that Gendo just uses a helicopter to go everywhere.

I eat children.

Now, Kaji was working for the Japanese government as well, was he not?

So, could he have given the government information concerning the necessity of the pilots, thus leading to a conclusion soley on the part of the JSSDF that the pilots must be eliminated?

This is in regards to the JSSDF operation that occurs in EoE.

1. How long after Kaworu's death did the events of the movie begin?

2. Under whose command were the JSSDF forces? Seele's or the Japanese governments?

3. They had orders to eliminate the pilots. Who would give such orders?

This might be slightly off topic, but in the realms of the bizarre, didn't Kaji hit on Shinji at one point during an episode? What doth one make of that?

Shinji: Alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllright.

Does anyone suppose there is anything to the color that we most commonly see the Nerv logo in: Red?

I bought stickers of those two images at Otakon. I wish I could remember where in the Artists Alley I got them.

I like the picture, but now I crave KFC.

Good thing, otherwise a lot of parents would get arrested for crossing the street with their children.

Kaworu was born of Adam. All beings born of Adam are Angels.

Rei was born of Lilith. All beings born of Lilith are Lillim.

Therefore, Rei is Lillim.

Well, from reading the volume 9 manga synopsis, I'm inclined to believe that Lilith isn't being counted in the Angel count. There are only to be 12 Angels in the manga. So far, we have Adam, Sachiel, Shamshel, Ramiel, Gaghiel, Israfel, Sahaquiel, Bardiel, Zeruel, and we see Kaworu in the fin...

Okay, there are 9 Eva units that ever had an S2 engine from their creation: Eva 04, and the MP Evas. Only three Angels (possibly four if there was anything to be slavaged from Eva 03/Bardiel) were silenced without exploding: Shamshel, Ramiel, and Matarael (coughlamerangelcough). So, ...

Not to be misleading with the title, I have no sure answers, but I wish to probe for reasons as to why X made it into the manga over Y. Now, at the Eva Q&A at Otakon '04, I raised a similar question from the back of the room. (I was the Kaji wearing a sign who claimed that it was Pen Pen...
