As one can see, no statistics. Just theoretical shit based on assumptions or encounters with people on the Internet. Xard, get out a bit more and improve your English - it's painful reading and bloody awful in a lot of places. It obscures communication with native English speakers and makes me w...

All over the expanse of the intersphere, I keep seeing comments that basically say that NGE is an incomprehensible mindscrew that nobody can understand. Where did you go and who did you see these quotes from? Remember that anime fans tend to be quite young and hence do not represent adults well. Th...

Doesn't show up on Hollis -- but even if true, not a scientist, so stop making overblown and pompous claims that make you look like a bigger ass than you have already managed. mmmkay? Sure thing Mr. Tines, let's get back on topic (I didn't claim I had a PhD though -- the Evangelion ...

Harvard University, Department of Philosophy.

It's called: "Existentialism in Evangelion: from Kierkegaard to Nietzsche with Special Focus on Gendo Ikari"

But back to the topic please.

This is propably true if you indeed work in academia. I actually once asked you about this before, just out of curiosity. I've worked in a variety of areas, private and public; I'm no one-trick pony. I did see you use word "probably". What your post however lacks is any kind of ju...

I don’t see a contradiction. The “not necessarily” part is including the fact that there is no point of reference regarding where this flaw apparently resides; the moment you alter your perspective, a great many of these 'flaws' turn out to be strengths. Poorly worded on my part, but it'...

I'm more well-versed in science than you are, for sure. And in English too.

(Note the use of the word "probably")

It'd be nice if you could address criticisms without bringing education and the like into it. As a general rule, you have no idea what kind of educations the people who disagree with you have had. Umbrella generalizations tend to be a great way to make even more people hostile toward the viewpo...

Alas -- as one who must watch over the whole forum instead of regularly taking personal nuisances of this sort head-on, it is too much for me! It's when people throw around subjective artistic interpretations as having some kind of scientific/objective truth or validity that one has to draw the...

A work of art is "just" a work of art. The viewer cannot expect it to cater to his/her expectations, and as such, must meet it at least halfway. That is the whole purpose to critique and interpretation through discussion. Nope, you've dodged the simple fact that people give opinions/i...

Maybe his wife hit him with a golf club and gave him brain damage which affects his spelling and grammar.

Why don't you post about the topic instead of clogging up SenorSquiid's thread with off-topic shit.

Saying that his directing isn't good enough is pretty much the same as saying “I want it to have more animation”; the audience has no right to say that to someone else’s work—if the audience wants more animation that badly, they should go do their OWN work and appeal to their own senses of ente...

Perfect stuff is boring, anyway. First, the real issue is not whether Evangelion is perfect or not, as people in this thread have already noted. Second, what is equally boring is when legitimate criticisms about an imperfect work are always rationalized away by silly logical fallacies, and nobody s...

It's tempting to say that the guy's a jerk who got what he deserved, but for all we know, the woman could be a total bitch and got what she deserved. Nobody really knows.

Let me speak to people in general here, including those that are reading this thread (i.e. not to any specific person, as I have done in that quote of mine in this thread): the issue is not whether Evangelion is perfect or not. We generally agree it's not perfect (see http://forum.ev...

What views in particular? I don't think I've been following this 100%, so maybe you could point me to something. Look at the "Devil in Eva" thread and you will find that he gave his opinion that you can get a reasonable understanding of Evangelion from the dub, to be met with what...

I certainly do find the tendencies of some of my fellows quite irksome, but I also don't find the creation of unnecessary divisiveness particularly useful. There was probably a way to go about this that wouldn't provoke the sort of "us vs. them" mentality that makes people want to...

It is time for me to elaborate on what is so brilliant about SenorSquiid's post. In the space of one post, he has highlighted critical perception differences between hardcore fans and other people, set out what really makes Evangelion interesting to less hardcore fans, flung out into the open th...

Sorry about that, but I kind of needed to get that off my chest. I've just read that post and I've got to lie down a bit from ... the sheer brilliance of it. You have captured some really important issues and concerns that I would like to expand on, although only after I have recovered from...
