Rewatching episode 24 today, I paid attention to the water and it doesn't seem like blood, so I don't think she tried to slice her wrists. More likely she wandered the city, starving herself (Hence the sunken look on her), perhaps she was just laying in a tub because the dirty water...

I've been thinking about this lately and I think another way to look at this is to analyze what every episode has that these three episodes do not. For instance, I can be confident that the symbolism has nothing to do with Rei since we are seen the death of Rei I, and the death of Rei II, outsi...

Shinji and Gendo visit Yui's grave, of course this isn't Yui dying. I wanna say it might be a symbolic death or some sort, but the deaths referenced in Episode 24 and AIR are very literal. I thought about yui's grave too, I thought it fit along with a bunch of reveals like "adam&qu...

The "white means death" thing is all very well and good but that doesn't really fit episode 15 either, since nobody dies there and it also doesn't really portend anyone's death.
So anything to do with "white means death" would only make sense for episode 24 and AIR.

It seems to me the most obvious connection between the three is Terminal Dogma, though I guess we get a peak of it when we see Rei impaling Lillith with the Lance of Longinus. Is episode 24 the episode where Asuka tries to kill herself? If it is it could be symbolic of her deterioration. Didn't...

You're correct. But I just flat out discarded that as an inconsistency. It horribly throws off every other date, including the known series start date (despite the series talking about quantities of days in the earlier episodes, some of it contradicts itself so you have to fudge it.) I simply couldn...

And of course, purchasing it directly shows there's interest in Eva in the U.S. If we ever want to see the NGE Blu-Rays with a domestic release every little bit helps. This more than anything. I don't like Funi, but I will absolutely support domestic releases of Eva stuff. Besides, a US blu...

Once Amazon puts up the page for the combo pack, I'll probably buy it. I can't resist a deal like that. Any particular reason you want to make sure you get the DVD as well as the bluray? Just wondering since once I gained the capacity to play blurays, I didn't bother too much with DVDs ...

Nobody's watching this. But posting notes for next set of episodes anyway. October is a busy month. Episode 13 “Lillitputian Hitcher” October 9 The Lance of Longinus is retrieved from Antarctica prior to this episode. Some amount of time after Episode 12. Episode takes 1 day but there are essent...

It's not just Funi, though. Parts of Q are very hard to translate, so all the translations we have are questionable in places. Whether you watch the dub or the subs, the new release will have translations approved by Khara; we hope that the translation difficulties will be resolved by this. Oh ...

I'll never watch the dub because I despise the Eva dubs with every fiber of my being. But I didn't realize there was questionable translation as well. Ugh Funi.

About goddamn time.

I really can't stand Funi tbh; I hope that if the NGE blurays get a US release, someone OTHER than them gets the license.

I don't even remember what happens in those episodes aside from a couple of things but I'm calling something different from the mirror motifs. Which doesn't solve shit. Idk any of the colour symbolism in NGE because that's the deal, Idk what blue/red/white/black stand for. As far as...

I imagine that with today's standards, episode 15 would indicate the final episode of the first half or the first episode of the second half so that's why they decided to make a little change. Episode 24 is the last episode were Shinji interacts with the other characters in the real world s...

Today I was going through the series and getting screenshots of the title cards/eyecatches (Japanese and English) for all the episodes (for a little project I'm doing) and I noticed something that's really bugging me. For all of the episodes, the Japanese and English title ca...

I definitely agree, because even small errors or errors that only occur in one instance are still just that--errors--and it's not pleasant to have something that's billed as being perfect (or in the case of the archives, perhaps it's more accurate to call it "pristine) end u...

How on earth was that image transfer problem not caught before now? It's so glaring you'd think that they would have caught it before releasing the set.

Ahaha, I guess you aren't meant to actually use it? How big is your mouse? Actually none of the cool mousepads I've ever gotten were big enough to use even if I had crazy mouse sensitivity.

You people are conspiring to make me poor!

TMBounty_Hunter, those edits are fantastic, I have to save them all!

I was looking at this: http://www.evastore.jp/pc/index.php?toid=PC_ARTICLE&fromid=PC_STORE_TOP&article_id=20987 So admittedly ~$500 at current exchange rate is still too high of an estimate even with shipping, but when I last checked amazon.jp (this was a few months ago) the price wa...
