Since I strongly dislike Death Note , this is no particular recommendation in my mind. Much of what I read about AoT has been sufficient to make me not be bothered about watching it, so it would be more interesting to read some really substantial recommendation for it. I like it because it's di...

Read the shirt.

Shinji getting his jollies off, didn't care, partly cause i didn't understand what was happening at the time, partly cause the contrast on my television didn't highlight the white against his hand, so I was just like "His hand, big whoop." haha yeah I watched EoE on a shitty V...

- The Jet Alone episode, mostly in the sense of WTF does this have to do with anything - Misato taking Shinji to Terminal Dogma and showing him "Adam" - The Eva graveyard - Leliel absorbing Shinji and trying to make contact, kind of the harbinger of what's to come in the series. - Shin...

So it's quite possible that the time skip in Eva is a bit more clever than others give it credit for. It's just hard to redefine a narrative archetype back to a state of quality when it's more noticeably been used as a crutch by so many other incompetent writers in time's past. And,...

Well shit, that's all I'm going to see in that scene from now on. Thanks!

The cold shoulder treatment from most of Wille staff towards Shinji is what bothered me the most. I actually really liked that. Kind of makes sense (depending on your view of whether or not Shinji was responsible for Third Impact), and established the tone of the movie. Someone speculated i...

I was bothered by how quickly Shinji learned to play the piano. He was all "No I don't play piano" but he totally knows how to play. I could have done without the abstract scene with notes and horses too... I also agree with Guy Nacks about taking off the DSS Choker. Being able to take...

I think it was a bad movie in the sense that the plot didn't have a good sense of pacing or logic to it. There's a token amount of character development but aside from Shinji, I didn't get a good sense of anyone's motivations, lifestyles, goals, etc. Well Rei's lifestyle is proba...

Actually, Eva-01 appears to absorb Eva-00's core from Zeruel, and possibly takes the Fruit of Life (S2 Engine) into herself as well. Plus, Rei has Lilith's soul. The sequence goes: awakening -> Eva-01 curbstomps Zeruel -> Doors of Guf open (unless that's not what the swirlin...

I've been rewatching the movies as of late so here's my take. I agree with the idea that "awakening" is Yui reasserting her will and attaining godhood somehow. Third Impact was initiated in 2.22 without any of the prerequisites from EoE - no S2 engine devoured, no shenanigans with ...

That's quite a collection :bigeyes:

I've mostly collected scale figures of the pilots. I got a few of the older Revoltechs but gave up on them as they weren't that well made. I also bought all the Robot Damashii releases so far. I really wish Bandai would make more Robot Damashii Evas...

Don't fall for the fork, guys! I have three pronged forks at home and they're awful. I can't imagine how bad a two pronged fork would be.
