This may not be too far off the mark. The show was building to a big "instrumentality" ending from the very start, long before the production difficulties. Instrumentality as therapy could be very close to the original intention. But in this case, what are we to make of Shinji's decis...

Rei: has no sense of self. Relies on other people, especially Gendo to define her wishes and desires. She pilots because of the wish of another. She has no self, thats why she comes across as alienated and un-human: she has no definitive desires. Asuka: you are a puppet! I hate you! Shinji: Has a se...

Shinji strangled Asuka out of hatred, a continuation from when Asuka poured coffe over him and refused to help him She touched his cheek, a sign of affection. he broke down and started crying, a kind of post traumatic stress. He probably realised shes another complex human being just like him. Simple

I suppose her redeeming qualities are that she works very hard (e.g. shes alread a graduate) she does care about other people (or wants to be accepted), she doesn't show this and acts all superior as a defense mechanism from her past experience Shes helping out trying to save the...

Asuka: shes a very complex character (along with the other main charaters: shiji, Misato). But what makes her most interesting is how she handles her 'inadequacy' which all the evangelion characters have, she becomes a egotistical bitch. If the show did not show her true feelings she...

From the original series; the scene where ritsuko's mother strangles Rei and then commits suicide. Just shows how dark this anime was Perhaps seeing Asuka in the dirty bathtub in a run down house. It just showed how everything was collapsing and degenerating. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...

absolutely nothing. Accidentally discovered it on the sci-fi channel early in the morning, when they showed anime during the week. It was either 6 or 5 am. Ahh... the memories. It was just so special! My parents were puzzled why I'd get up so early on a school day. It was brilliant, I was blown ...

You buy the evangelion comics because of the coloured covers.

Have they reached a snag?

Do they have a date?

Is it even going to come out?

Its been forever!

does she even have a soul, isn't she basically lillith with yui's DNA?

It was on the sci fi channel at 5 am here in the uk, I got up early in the morning before high school to wacth it. It was great, the only other anime I saw was dragon ball z and tenchi I think on telly. But this was the first anime I really got attatched to. my parents where asking why I kept gettin...

just wondering if the tin box has something more than the DVDs bought individally? http://hmv.com/hmvweb/simpleMultiSearch.do?searchUID=8360633715752912113&pGroupID=0&adultFlag=false&primaryID=0&simpleSearchString=evangelion+platinum or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neon-Genesis-Evangelion...

I am sure she learnt almost everything from her but... She must have learnt from just about everyone itispretty clearto me she has some knowledge of the following: 1. robotics (dah) 2. Informatics 3. Cybernetics 4. Biology 5. Medicine 6. Psychology. And even though her official title is hea...

Well, that's pretty much what drives the plot, so yeah. Two more, most likely, by maths and symbolism. Well, not anything, but for the most part, we are heading into terra incognita. Personally, i don't think that the mindscrew and psychoanalysis will be taken to EoE levels, nor do i think ...

Asuka wants Shinji to want her, but she isn't necessarily actually interested in him so much as in developing her technique with a mostly harmless test subject. She clearly states that she'd rather die than actually end up with him. Shinji's nice guy moments are things he would have don...

To screw us over? To mess with our minds? Destroy evrything we have fanwanked so far? ruin our viewing experience of the original series? Fill our world with "Eva fans" who've never seen the original? to get as much cash as he possibly can out of his most succesful franchise? I can ke...

Personally, i always thought that Shinji was lying his ass off in desperation. Asuka even calls him out on it. I totally agree, I think the most we can say about their relationhip is that they like each other on some level and maybe physically. But it never developed into love. you can learn a lot ...

There are already a ton of threads about this very subject. Yes, according to Gendou. Didn't you hear Misato? サビス サビス !! Aside from that...was there ever any way? It's a safe bet that SEELE and Gendou both have the intentions they claim to have, but...

well after seeing evangelion 2.0, It seems that they've covered a lot from the original series. Or is there still plot and important points missed from the original series. I was just wondering what generally speaking is going to be covered in the last two movies? assuming it carries on with the...

I think shes just a lady in her prime and as such likes having sex end of. I think a lot of her "BEING A SLUT" comes from her spending a week with her new boyfriend having sex back in the past as described by ritsuko. but I think its reasonable if it was a new thing for them, being with he...
