Re: Shinji Clenching His Fist Question

The hand symbolizes how we assert our will on the world. IIRC, every scene where Shinji is clenching and unclenching his hand he is choosing NOT to assert himself in that situation.

I can post the text on the back if you reeeeeeaaaaally want, but it's just way too blurry. I don't think a higher resolution will help much either, to tell you the truth, it was just drawn out of focus because we're supposed to be focusing on Shinji's face. The men in the photo puzzl...

Her hair seems to be redder than Mari's. Apart from the glasses, I don't see any resemblance either and when I was watching Q I assumed she was Asuka's mother. Incidentally, there is writing on the back of the photograph that you can see as Fuyutsuki is handing it to Shinji. It's too...

Yay poking the sleeping post. I'll be brief. I just saw the 2.22 dub tonight and holy hell, did John Swasey sound bored out of his mind. I've never been a fan of Swasey's take on Gendo, but jeez. He gave a flat, disinterested performance with barely any vocal inflection, even more so tha...

For evidence that he isn't out of the hole, there's the final scene of EoE. There are many interpretations of that scene, but going with the interpretation above.... deciding to live only to find out you didn't reverse the apocalypse but only stopped it half way? That must've been a...

Is my suggestion that Gendo wanted to use an impact to reunite with Yui because an impact was part of the plan anyway all that radical? Not at all. I think what we were getting at is that if he had the option he probably would have at least tried to reunite with Yui sooner rather than 10 years later.

Indeed, that's what he decided on eventually. And surely he has some reason for suspecting that nobody but Shinji can make Unit 01 work - someone must have tried, and a man as self-obsessed as Gendou would hardly have let anyone else hop inside his waifu. How'd he avoid getting fried, then?...

I wouldn't be hugely surprised if at some point after the failed salvage, Gendou had tried to get himself absorbed into Unit 01 by actually climbing inside an entry plug (hopefully while wearing a test plugsuit). I don't think he would. They make an offhand mention to all the adult ...

OK, maybe I should clarify. It just doesn't make to me, because I'm thinking, "If you're trying to reunite with Yui, why in the world are you using Third Impact to do it? Are you trying get yourself into Unit-01, or get Yui out of Unit01, or what, what's going on here?" Ok...

Yeah, I know it's a odd thing to say, but because Gendo is an antagonist that doesn't monologue (even internally) it's very hard to tell what his motivations are and what actions he's actually taken. The fact that we don't see much of him at all in the show certainly doe...

Sorry guys, but "I must become a robot pilot/ race car driver/ Pokemon master/ goldfish breeder so my Dad will love me again!!!111" is still cliched bullshit. Cliches become cliches because they happen often enough in reality. It may seem tired and overused to you but many people struggle...

I always figured that they were trying to go for the really hyper Rei from the...hallucination? Whatever... from Episode 26. It kinda works for me. And to tell the truth, I'm totally reading to watch Gendo make an ass out of himself. Asuka's many failures does get old, though. She's like...

I agree. I just couldn't think of any other examples of what could be considered "Fanservice" in EoE other than that. As a matter of fact, very little of the nudity in EoE could really be considered fanservice. It all meant something greater than even just "having a point to it.&...
