While I agree with some of what's being said here ... wow. This thread has just turned into bashing. That being said, I am glad that ORAMI!?, Ironfoot, and citizengeek have made some of the points they've made. Also, "mother" does not necessarily mean "female." Why people...

Err ... I dunno if I can agree with that. I actually liked her poetry and thought that it was kinda important.

Unfair! You got the MP Eva plush thing with Shinji! D:

There's a store near me that started selling them, so I picked up Rei III (I think). It came with a little Otsu and it's a very cute addition to figure collections. Not bad for $10.

I actually do like Asuka. Sure, her outward demeanor can be a bit frustrating at first, but: a) like people said, her past is blacker than most of the cast, if not all. b) she's 14 years old. It's her way of coping, and I understand that well; I'm sure some of the people on this ...

Who says lords can't be girls?

And, wow, I can't even find the way to describe how crazy and awesome Ramiel's new ... stuff ... is. SRSLY GUYS, it's ridiculously cool. (Is that the core I'm seeing?) I can't wait to see the real thing ... D:

If you mean nudity and sexual content, I don't consider it vulgar at all. It was done artistically and it was intended to be unsettling. Look up "superflat" on Wikipedia or some other source. I sort of meant this haha. (I have never seen the dub, and I don't plan to.) It&#...

I really hope they don't go down a road similar to End of Eva -- with all that vulgarity it just didn't really click with me as a possible end to Evangelion. Of course, like Gendo'sPapa said, anything too happy would be bad as well haha. Relating back to that whole Arqa thing, the more s...

I think you just summed up the past 16 pages of this topic ...

Well, you're probably right about the Arqa thing. Also, I remember reading a prediction that Shinji would find happiness in this one (and not ambiguous happiness/hope, a la End of Eva interpretations) seeing as Anno himself is much more content now than he was when Eva first started prod...

Hay, hay, what's with all the Matarael bashing? Okay, so he may have been very weak, and not that smart, but the design was excellent, and, uh ... I can't think of any other reasons to defend 'im. He's just ... lovable in some way.

Oh, geez. I couldn't help but lawl at that.

perfected_sound: Rockin' signature. :3 About this glasses girl, I dunno. The more I see of her, the more disheartened I get. I mean, attitude is fine, sure, but we already have Asuka ... that's more than enough attitude for the series haha. Unless she gets the Sadamoto treatment, but that pr...

If you don't mind, then I'd like that list too, please? :3

Does anyone have translations for the 4komas as well?

Wow, awesome stuff, kudos to whoever did this. The first movie just came out and now we're already hungry for the next one haha.

That's probably the best way to put it. xD
Indeed, Gogouki and Rokugouki look great.

See, I like your post -- exploring both arguments in a reasonable way :3 Both interpretations are valid, even though I lean more towards the suicidal theory.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or anything. P3 just rocks.

Shin-seiki: Calm down, will you? Eva is interpreted many ways; while you might not be willing to accept a lot of these interpretations, they exist nonetheless. Please keep this in mind.

I mean, what with all the suicide connotations, it could work, sorta...

1. I had similar thoughts, but I don't think it resembles P3 that much.
2. Though this series looks fun, I'm pretty sure Persona 3 > this.

So it is fake? I downloaded it and tried to crack the password but I didn't have any luck until I read your post. What is that file, then? (End of Eva? That would suck, ahaha)

Oh, come on, you know what I mean: some people were pointing to certain streaks and attributing them to menstruation.

Although, I wouldn't completely rule out the "vaginas on her palms" theory. This is Eva.
