Surely it's much more likely that she's referencing the previous film, in which he fails to rescue her from the 9th angel (Rebuild's "Bardiel")? But he tried and he got so mad later that he wrecked Nerv HQ. You could argue "Asuka didn't know that, she didn't know about the dummy syst...

After re-watching 3.33 for like the 5th time, I can only understand that Asuka quote as referencing EoE. There is simply no moment in the movie to justify that phrase, as others pointed out. Minutes before she was refusing to listen to Shinji and was attacking him. She tried to punch him and showed ...

I seriously hope Shinji doesn't end with Rei (romantically) in Final. I mean, she is his mother clone and in this continuity/sequel/loop he was even informed about it; it would be taking Oedipus complex too far, even for Anno.

You are contradicting yourself. You say, you feel like you're watching a random Shonen, while everything that bothers you is what sets Eva apart from normal Shonen. Either you want a streamlined work with proper closure, or you want Evangelion. A streamlined, conventional ending would be the wo...

I want 4.0 to be the final ending to the thing. I know it's an anime and I don't have expectations anymore, I know the media form and context will always dictate and limit the work, but I hope Anno to have some kind of compromise. He can't hide. He can't leave unanswered questions. H...

Almost all train, nature or silence scenes: "This is a very avant-aguard thing, like a french movie from the 70's..."

I have only 2 posts on this forum but I'll indulge myself a little. I got into Eva when I was 14~15 years old (now I'm 25). I was using Kazaa or Morpheus at the time, searching AMVs until I found one of Rob Zombie, a band that I never even liked, and decided to dowload it. The battle...

First time I thought that scene where... Two Reis stare at each other, one in the tube, another in a school uniform, was a proof that Rei 2 was alive and that Wille lied to Shinji.
Now watching the movie again it seems Rei 3 is seeing the same kind of Rei apparitions that Shinji always saw.

Amazing. I first began watching Eva when I was 13 years old; now I'm 23, I have an university to attend to, a job to work for, and I just spent my whole week waiting for the UTW release. I read a lot of disappointed opinions on the internet but I couldn't disagree more, the way how everythin...
