Re: What if Asuka was a clone in NGE?

Oh, I completely agree with your reading of Gendo's motivations here. I meant to imply that Yui was the one who had greater plans for Shinji from the beginning. I would also add that Yui also set herself to play a special role by arranging to getting absorbed by the only Lilith-based Eva. Eva-02 is,...

Re: What if Asuka was a clone in NGE?

it may have been the same in the show By all indications, it isn't. In the show, Asuka's father, Langely, is an actual character, who we get to hear and (sort of) see. In the manga meanwhile, Asuka explicitly says that she "doesn't have a father", all but outright stating that Kyoko raise...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

It irks me. In-universe, Shinji has by all appearances directly interacted with Mari for less than an hour across the entire story. And I find the implied age difference between them somewhat disturbing. It is even really meant to be romantic? For how they interact at the end, they could as just as ...

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

Why would you want versions of episodes that have LESS footage? It's just the same but without the extra bits. Well, personally, I would argue that the broadcast versions have definite historical value. They were created under what were basically crunch conditions, and I think having them readily a...

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

Basically, because someone at the tax-evasion loving Gainax didn't do their due diligence to get global rights to Fly Me To The Moon back in the 90s now each usage of the song would cost Khara at the cheapest $300,000+ or more. I don't know the financing of anime studios but I imagine, even with th...

Re: Sequel Theory - General

Everyone supporting the Sequel Theory, especially on Reddit, seem to focus overly much on both the overt and vague visual similarities Rebuild has with stuff from EoE, but also ignore that there are, ultimately, just many more contradictions than similarities, particularly in lore and character back...

Re: Shin Eva leak general

Gotta say, having thought and read more about it, overall I have rather mixed feelings. From a purely technical standpoint plotwise, it all very much sounds like the fizzle I thought it would be after I watched 3.0. Simply too many concepts thrown in there, happening too fast for it to have any real...

Re: 3+1 SUBTITLES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD WITH APP!

I think managed to find a word to describe how I feel about this. The more I read, the more the whole thing comes across as kitchen-sinky to me. Like there is too many concepts thrown in there and too little time spent between them.

Re: 3+1 SUBTITLES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD WITH APP!

I have to admit, part of me is feeling pretty damn angry about everything I've read so far. So angry I can't quite articulate it in any coherent manner.

But part of that is also because I'm legitimately blown away by it too. Like, I'm actually downright impressed.

If you want to wake up to begin vanquishing your enemies immediately, the one to go with is, of course, "False Regeneration".

Re: Fanfic Story Ideas, Mk. II

That is actually a fic idea I have considered a couple of times. But in a Post-3rd Impact form. Some decades after the event, an older Shinji Ikari, now a respected figure under whatever new government there is, hands some trusted young historian a lengthy dossier on NERV, GEHIRN, and SEELE's pre- a...

Re: Asuka isn't Justified

I'm trying to limit the length of this, and it is going against my better judgement to continue, but what I'm trying to say that my view is that Shinji is very much a subject of the effects of hegemonic masculinity and so is Asuka. It is, perhaps, a bit much too saying that Shinji, as a boy, should ...

Re: Asuka isn't Justified

Because outside of that, I don't see how Shinji "harmed" Asuka for failing to live up to her demented expectations or emotionally harmed her. Sometimes, doing nothing is the most violent thing to do. Point is, Shinji never tries to empathize. (And not just with Asuka, but anyone in genera...

Re: Asuka isn't Justified

Let's make things clear, Shinji has had an equally difficult past Now, I would like to question this assertion, if nothing else. Yui disappeared from one day to the next, and Shinji never really got a good look at her "death". Asuka had to suffer through seeing Kyoko linger on as a shadow...

Re: Would the angels have awoken and attacked regardless of the Katsuragi expedition disturbing Adam 15 years prior?

I think, thematically speaking, that the idea that mankind (well, Seele) could have chosen to just leave slumbering giants lie, but decided to open Pandora's Box any way in their hubris, fits very well with the series.

Netflix have not only removed "Fly Me to the Moon" from the credits. They even have taken it out of the episodes themselves. The versions used in the Kaji walks Misato home scene from Episode 15 and the answering machine scene from Episode 21 are just gone. I feel like I could take or leav...

Re: The most disturbing moment in Evangelion

I would say on a purely psychological level, Yui's decision to mould Shinji into being the lynchpin for her plan from the beginning and how coolly she acted around carrying the whole thing out is pretty damn disturbing. It sure is something for a parent to decide to traumatize their child by faking ...

It really is rather strange.

But in the manga, the moment where Toji is killed off feels ...
