I reckon it's "finished" now. Happy to add it to the wiki page, if people think it's useful.

...On EGF, a thread never dies. It just lies there. Dormant. Waiting for some unsuspecting newbie to respark unspeakable discussions... Such as what I'm about to do! Just to disclose my position before I start: I am swaying towards it being the mother's AT Field (mainly because of dummy...

Woops, sorry Aura. Re-reading my reply to you, it doesn't even make sense to me. D'oh!

:huh: That makes absolutely no sense. Ramiel continued to drill into the Geofront even when both Evas which were in the city at the time were aboveground and nearby. Ramiel's actions make it clearest of all that the target most of the Angels seemed to be after was inside the Geofront long befor...

^ I don't personally subscribe to the theory, but I think it could be explained by the Angels going after the Evas. Maybe this has already been mentioned, but it is interesting that Lilith doesn't appear in the opening credits (I'm not suggesting it's proof of the retcon, though&...

Hope you can forgive me for Necro-threading AND backtracking at the same time! Thanks to Naveryw for the source (which I believe is this particular Japanese Eva-wiki fan page...) These [mysteries] are addressed in the form of Confidential Information in the game. Basically, GAINAX as well as...

(inspired by NemZ's post ) Why is it accepted as canon? Because Anno had a hand in it, and the majority of the fandom is more obsessed with plugging up the holes in the literal narrative and mythology than appreciating the work on an artistic level. Should it be accepted as canon? Read t...

@Reichu: thanks heaps for confirming the translation.

...carry on, folks...

Perhaps all this "moon inside a moon" stuff is a translation quirk. I really need to learn Japanese!

I'm actually rewatching the show at the moment and had the same question as the OP. That is, what exactly are the angels after? FYI Now that the CI translation has been straightened out, I'm happy that each Angel was either going for a) Lilith, to cause a big bag and "reset" l...

(had a search and this seems to be the most relevant thread, so... HOLY THREAD REVIVAL!) What's the explanation for Unit 01's ability regenerate her arm armour when she goes berserker against Sachiel? All I could find on the topic was this old quote of Reichu's: The ability of a ...

Updated with Svenge's info. http://www.mediafire.com/?cc6f53mco5dy88x A few questions to go please: 1 was "Death (true)" ever released in English? 2 was "Death (true)2" ever released in English? 3 which episode did ADV switch from the VHS masters to the OA mas...

If I may backtrack to an earlier post about Ep 15 (got missed as the CI translation problem was discovered): 3) It is strange that Gendo and Fuyutsuki talk, in private, about Marduk as a real separate organisation, not like it is just a dummy organisation of Nerv. Or maybe there was a &q...

Just some food for thought on the "which characters thought Lilith was Adam (or is this a plot hole)" discussion: Classified Info's entry for 3rd impact says Nerv's personnel are told that, if an Angel were to come into contact with Adam (the white giant in Terminal Dog...

Some of it may have come from the 3rd impact entry in the wiki: http://wiki.evageeks.org/Classified_Information_%28Translation%29#Third_Impact Though the layers of information doesn't really make it any less ambiguous. Thanks. Yeah all the qualifiers ("Nerv's personnel are told tha...

I'm unclear on this fact from the evawiki on the Angel's version of Third Impact Welcome a a minefield topic!!! "Achieved by an Angel reuniting with Adam, being held in Tokyo-3" Yeah, I really think this statement in the wiki needs a reference (there's a lot of stuff in th...

@avenge and tomrule: Thanks, makes sense. Poor laserdisc owners! I bet these people also have a Betamax player kicking around somewhere.

just a quick point re Loony part of Kyoko: I thought the only reason she went insane was because her soul got split up. Not absorbed in the Contact Experiment. They could have put it in afterward, though. Yeah I vaguely recall reading something similar to this (although it may have been in a wik...

[previous tangent] It's mostly me assuming shit/fanwanking... Cool, thanks for explaining. Huh? After Unit 02's head gets impaled by the MPEs, Asuka's left eye is never seen again; not only that, but blood is visibly spraying onto her lap from the socket... you can see blood coming out b...
