Re: Shin Eva leak general

It sounds like it's because of their expectations out of the relationship between the two of them. Mari and Asuka kept badgering him about protecting or helping her in 3.0, but the change in dynamics and age gap make it so that it's not possible for that to work, so they have to let it go. Asuka's ...

Well, thats the point of view - if Asuka isnt someone special in Shinji's heart or not in that hospital episode. If she is important as only last resort and not who she is (it could be Pen-Pen and Shinji would be acting the same way because not of someone that is lying before him but because...

Well the problem lies, that there is no real Asuka/Shinji relationship development shown in manga, what you comment of why Shinji would care about Asuka at this point is taken from the background content rather than actual development, and this is not something that a good director should do. Sadamo...

Well, hello, nice to see someone still liking the series after ten years.

I wonder if I should be counted as "first generation" fan as well since I was the fan of this series from 1998.

We could say that such person does not have a full and lively image of the self, since his image of the self does not have a lot of chances to change and be active, while normally our Self is always under the constant change (because we are always under the constant experience which gives more i...

Yet, if my self that existed up till now as in conscious experience were to be gone, though technically I would still be alive "I" would not be alive. The world is always perceived by our ego. If we were to destroy, I think that the person with destroyed ego won't ever be what he was b...

I never said that Shinji is the only egoist in the series. all poeple are. Unless you are a really fucked up or a Saint (which basically is the same) you will always be an egoist. The problem that Shinji's ego is wounded a lot thus he needs a bigger does of confirmation of his worth and ...

There is no such scene as Kaji carrying Shinji, yet there is a scene where behind Kaji stands Shinji during Asuka's mindrape. Yet it should be noted that scene of Kaji walking past Asuka (and rejecting her) happened in reality and only the end (Shinji standing) changed. Usually u...

We have to remember that Shinji is a very egoistical person. His kindness isnt that altraustic as one may think, he wants praise to satisfy the growing need to feed his own ego which is wounded due to his childhood. Only Asuka sees that flaw in him, not because she hates him, but because she is the ...

On a far greater notion, we could ask ourselves what we define as a "Reality"? We can't really assum that reality is really real. What seems that is a part of reality finally turns to be part of the fiction, yet when it is discovered we do not start doubting the reality as such, but th...

I have to say I don't really care, not because I don't live in america, but because I hardly care about Sadamoto's manga at all. He has great art, and I would take his Kaji background over animes anytime, just like few Ritsuko scenes and few Rei/Shinji one's but everything else - is ...

I do understand your statement about if there were Rei/Shinji it could look incest and that could have been one of the points why it was never developed... But consider that Anno did let in scene where Shinji masturbates over Asuka in coma, a scene that you have to agree not all anime directors woul...

Yes, the source is more or less original so you can't argueė about whole Rei being associated with mother in Shinji's mind. Yet it is not telling that he thinks she IS a mother in true sense of this word. By all means - no. yet His relationship touches the root of the one that mother ch...

Nah, i dont think anything involving Asuka would work in the manga, mostly because she is a side-character in Sadamoto's manga and not very deep to that as well. Sure she has a few angsty scenes but that doensn't really count as character depth. So I think that pairing anything with Asuka in...

Aagain, Shinji might feel love towards Rei, it is just not a romantic love at all. Thats why he does not try to kiss her. Sure he is attracted to Rei's body, but so he is to Misato's (as we can see during those 'Become one with meĄ" scenes) yet its not so intense as his...

Well Shinji/Asuka is much more complex relationship than Rei/Shinji in a sense, so you can't really say that it was only for that he was afraid of Rei/Shinji, but maybe Asuka and Shginji's characters build up an interesting relationship in itself which was more worth to follow than Rei/Shinj...

Both, Eva Yojimbo and Ornette have points in there comments. If we would follow the true spirit of scepticism then not only Asuka/Shinji or Misato/Kaji sex scene (as in actual sex) would be in question, but much more things in NGE that we consider as a facts would be in question. Actually, i...

True a lot of original NGE was first "cool" abnd only later, unintentionally, became meaningful.

The problem is that manga do not give enough room to be meaningful. Its just cool and dumb, sadly. Nothing but plain surface beneath it, be it intentional or unintentional.

Eva Yojimbo, it's not really an arrogance to state that both interpretations are equal. Saying that one interpretation is better and not having facts (not interpretations of the facts) to prove it is much more arrogant. I am not saying that my interpretation is better, but it IS valid in...

How it makes no sense? You are just pushing your own interpretation, not the facts. If you would like to watch behind your interpretation into the facts as such you will see that your interpretation and my interpretation stand on equal ground here. Simply because, I am also using the same facts as y...
