As sure as I am that this was likely mentioned above in the thread, in some way, I almost think that this possible (as it certainly isn't set in stone that they're together) - this possible relationship between Shinji and Mari is the best way that they could've gone about it. The fandom as a whole h...

Wonderful news! In a way, I almost didn't expect it this soon. I see a lot of discussion on the dub; was it advised yet if the Prime release will be sub, dub, or both? Regardless, of course, I can't wait to watch the film. It'll be nice, too, if there's a theater release, but more than anything I'm ...

I'd be fine with waiting to own it if it meant being able to see it earlier.

That ~5 month from cinema to disk for 3.0 is almost too good to hope for this time around, but it's hard to hope for anything outside of at least being able to see it sometime this year, and obviously the earlier the better. It'd definitely be nice to see it in theaters too, of course, but the virus...

March 8th is my birthday, and this is unironically the greatest gift I could have asked for,

Is there a standard etiquette for posting one's fics here? I have a small multi-chapter fic I posted about a year ago on Ao3/FFN and I wanted to share it here in a thread, but I don't want to ignore some kind of etiquette on the forums. As an aside, I'm open to helping to beta/edit as well - I've be...

Now it's starting to feel like that happened in another life lol. Q came out the year I was graduating high school, and at this point I've graduated college twice and gotten a real job. It really does feel like it was a lifetime ago. But on the bright side, we know that Thrice is done, regardless o...

∆ Great to still see people discover the film. :) Q and Shinzilla (I've seen no one else call it that but I insist) really were two masterpieces in a row IMO. Here's hoping it'll be three soon. It took me a while to get around to it - I think I was always just waiting for the perfect ti...

I don't know why I waited so long to watch Shin but it was incredible. Definitely felt a little weird following the whole Coronavirus issue we've had going on, but really, disasters - natural and manmade - were an obvious focal point in the film as it was made in 2016 and it's a timeless theme as it...

Now I may be attributing to the Japanese what little of nautical culture I know of in the West, but aren't ships and vessels generally considered female? Perhaps Shinji and Kaworu not having the -nami suffix or being named after ships is - in part - due to them being boys? For what it's worth, I thi...

On a base level, these are beautiful looking films with stunning soundtracks. Really, I think that the OSTs may objectively be the best parts of NTE. Sagisu has always been brilliant, but something about the new OSTs are incredible. I wish I had the music vocabulary to describe it. On a bit more of ...

Definitely hyped, it feels so strange that this is The End. The new plugsuits are great, and the synch implications are real cool. If I'm worried about anything, it's just that, with the exception of the Paris trailer, almost everything we've seen of the film appears to take place at/around the clim...

Very interesting stuff - despite how many times I've watched Q at this point, I never made the observation that ReiQ is likely, if not definitely, actually looking at something else. That she can't see outside, and that what is causing her worries is something within the EVA itself. There's a lot to...

My suspicions point me to believe it won't be used until the end of the film when [I assume] the Wunder goes down. I suspect the same. You could even throw in some of the good ol' birth imagery Anno loves in there: 01 tearing itself out of Wunder, breaking through those rib-cage-like areas in a cal...

Great posts, man. The information is laid out really nice.

I do have a question about Null though - when did it get 'revealed'? I hadn't heard about it til now. Do we have any other info on it aside from that sketch?

This is despite the fact that she is deeply involved with the conspiracy to end the world, endangers others during most of the fights she's in and is loyal to Gendo to the end of the series. As everyone else has said, her circumstances and situations in life aren't really her choice at all; not unt...

A lot of the hate for the film that I see comes from the (related and incorrect) assumptions that: - If a character doesn't act in a way that (the viewer) would act, then the character is badly written/doesn't have character development - If a character makes a decision or action that is not entirel...

3.0 is flawed, but still the only one of the three films so far that really seems to justify its existence separate from the original series. Absolutely agreed - and I agree with everything you put in the OP as well. From my first viewing of the movie, it felt so much more in the vein of what I exp...

NGE already had a couple scenes that reminded me of similar scenes in 2001, namely the otherwise innocuous shot of Gendo alone in a plane (on his way to Antarctica IIRC) with someone coming up and striking a chat. And far more clearly, the Seele monoliths. Anyways there's already a page...

A lot of the Anima stuff was really cool - it's off the wall, but in a fun, almost shounen/super robo way. If it's Yamashita's playground and some of the better ideas are fixed and used in Rebuild, I don't mind at all - especially since that's what this thread is more or less abo...
