Re: Does the NTE lore make anymore sense?

The lore does make enough sense, until it intentionally doesn't anynore with stuff like Eva Imaginary. Actually, Eva Imaginary is one of the concepts I find easiest to swallow, because it seems rooted in real-world concepts like anti-matter, multiverses, and quantum mechanics. I rationalized that s...

Re: Fan Backlash at Anno for Declarations

Well, let's say then fighting against monsters and cannibalism are not qualities typically associated with loving human mothers. Yui is no longer human. Also: debatable (depending on historical and societal context, etc, etc) I am not a native Japanese speaker. Was this just a passing comment or so...

Re: Waiting for Evangelion:3.0+1.0

Is re-living 1997 part of the appeal of thrice? (not that I actually experienced that) but I imagine a bunch of university students outside of Japan in 1997, asking for clandestine EoE VHS tapes with bad subs at dark brutalist alleys, and sulking at the mainstream people watching sailor moon (or wha...

What is postinstrumentality existence?

I have searched the archives to the best of my ability and I haven't found much on the topic. Is there any hint whatsoever (including associated media) of how postinstrumentality existence would look like, particularly in the SEELE scenario? I am interested on the actual minutiae of the process and ...

I would crank up the Risperdal, but there's no point. He's not delusional, he's a cranky, old man who hates the government and hates Obama because he's black. He wants to believe the most ridiculous things about the president because he's a racist. This reminds of the fact that ...

Did it include a marriage with Gendou and the promise of a 1000 demon children?

I also personally think 3.33 might be a jab at how a lot of modern anime have some version of "Resetting the world/time" as a plot device to undo bad and negative consequences Yes! It could also be a comment on how people want Rebuild to be about advancement (myself included) and ...

[SPOILERS] The ubiquitous use of self- and meta-references

Anno is no stranger to these devices and he explicitly used them in End of Evangelion and EoTV to criticize otaku culture. However, I do not remember a particular instance during the regular episodes in which he used them except from Jet Alone which could be considered a parody. After seeing Q, I th...

[SPOILERS] What's your opinion on the ending?

Is it second near 3rd impact or near 4th impact? And what about that near impact involving Lillith and Mark 06? I think the sequence should be as many near 3rd impacts and then the proper 3rd impact. But then again the second impact was aborted and should have been a near one! Damn, pointless termin...

My liking of the film is tied to both my experiences while watching it and my expectations of it. On a pure emotional level, I only wanted subversion and subversion is what I got. So I guess I like it. On a rational level, I am just frustrated with Anno. I'm frustrated with his inability to adva...

You can only fit so many angels in a a film (2.0 had too many). I think Kaworu should be enough. The rest of the screen-time should be focused on character development, Lilith/Adam and SEELE.
