One thing that people rarely talk about when it comes to Evangelion, is just how well directed it is. It only stroke me after the third viewing, I think, as I expected earlier episodes to be kinda boring. Instead they turned out to be more interesting than ever. The knowledge I got from repeated vie...

I have (not surprisingly) serious difficulties in putting my feelings into words but here's what I came up with. After watching 3.0 I still somehow think that the main dish is ahead of me because what I got didn't feed me nearly enough. So there must be something big ahead... right? ...

Asuka holds out some kind of detector in the end and says that the levels of I don't know what in that place are too high for them to come for her, so she has to go to them instead of waiting for rescue. That's actually one of the most interesting things for me to think about regarding 3.0 ...

I wonder if Asuka knew that Kaworu was Shinji's friend and that EVA-13's equipment let him see Kaworu's death with all the details.
Maybe she misinterpreted his behaviour as simply being butthurt over being defeated? Or something along those lines?

But it reminds us that she doesn't really do worse things to him than he did to her in EoE.
Hopefully Anno isn't preparing the "Asuka masturbates over comatose Shinji" scene for us in 4.0. I don't want to know how Kendrix would react to THAT.

I remember that there was a discussion here once about the lyrics of the song that is being played when Misato and Kaji have a meeting in a bar in 2.22. Apparently somebody translated them aaaaaaaand...I don't remember what :P I only remember that people suspected them to be about Misato's a...

Personally I can't imagine Evangelion without Asuka. It's pretty hard for me to express why, but I just feel Eva wouldn't mean this much to me if Asuka wasn't there. For me she's like the symbol of everything he can't stand in life. Therefore forming some kind of healthy rela...

We didn't have to fear 3.0 because we didn't think it was going to depress us. Actually, I remember hearing rumours here, that people at Khara/voice actors thought that the film was too dark. Also, some shots in the trailers seemed to have a certain EoE vibe. It made me raise my guard some ...

Low scores are fine. This means that Anno successfully trolled people into thinking that Eva would become TTGL Mark 2 and made them upset. Great! That's one of the things I wanted Q to accomplish.

Sage has yet to really explain on a narrative level why Evangelion is such a bad series. He's just pointing out generic elements of the series that could be true of any narrative and stating "this is why it's bad." He points out that Shinji is an unlikable lead character as a &quo...

Expecting? Ive actually seen plenty of reasonable video reviews. So yes it is 'gonna happen'. They arent all 'ZOMG Shinji IS TEH EMO GETALIFE AND OSCAR IS TEH UBER-BITCH'. Well, maybe you're just more tolerant than me. I'm really overzealous when it comes to EVA, and I'm...

Wait, people here are expecting reasonable video reviews of Evangelion?

Sorry. Not gonna happen. Junk like this generates way more traffic, I guess.

A crazy idea just came up to me. Maybe she has some kind of DSS-Choker-esque mechanism in that eye? If they feared her, they probably wanted to make sure they could control her. It's kinda stupid that they haven't removed it after 14 years. She gave them enough proofs of her loyalty by now.....

At 2:23 of the preview Mark 04A is actually identified by Unit 02's HUD as
"Phase Cocoon Shelter" for about one second. After that the description changes to "UNKNOWN". I guess it's the result of the A.T. Field being spread.

Wonder if that name means anything.

I actually assumed, that her talking the way she does, not always being serious about what's going on etc. is just a form of fan service (fans would get crazy if they suddenly got 100% serious and calm Asuka) and decided to not draw any conclusions about her character from that. That'...

Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what he *wanted* to do. Still, the fact that his intentions were noble just doesn't cut it for me. In the end he totally ignored Kaworu's doubts and feelings. This is not how a close friend should act. That's selfish. It's li...

I can't really see how Asuka has "matured", but maybe that's because she doesn't get that much backstory or development in 3.0 I think that self-destructing her EVA is huge in terms of gaining maturity. Being totally dependant on piloting skills and basically identifying herse...

There will be. I promise! Sakura will get him fo sho.

I guess I'm the first official SSxS shipper for 4.0!

I can understand why Shinji did the things he did. Doesn't make them right, but I can understand them. One of the oldest stories in human history is someone making a terrible mistake, and then trying to set it right. Some stories they succeed. And some they find out that they can never make it ...

First of all, I don't believe that Misato really hates Shinji. I think she may actually hate herself more and perhaps blame herself for failing as his guardian (again!). She may straight up fear opening up to him, she may unconsciously associate him with all the trauma that she went thro...
