I imagine that, for what they're worth (not very much, honestly), they can be considered canon until we learn otherwise. I expect many people to take the opposite view, that as they are not part of the declared sequence of films, they are not canon. At this stage it really is just a per...

The title of this thread is pretty much self-explanatory. As of now there are two (and a third one that could appear shortly) short Eva-related movies released between 3.0 and 3.0+1.0/Final/Whatever-you-want-to-call-the-last-NME-movie: 1. Peaceful Times 2. Until You Come to me (3. the mo...

Bought my copy today. The Polish publishing house (Japonica Polonica Fantastica) released it on the correct day but they are hostile to the main bookstores (JPF was selling it only via their crappy webpage) and it took some time for the manga to get there. And I have to say that I fo...

Manga all the way through - but that's probably because that's the first incarnation of Eva that I've been exposed to. Also when presented with a choice to watch an anime or to read a manga I always choose the latter. So yeah. But what I also like in the manga is that the story is more c...

That's just what I wanted to post.

SPOILER: Show

Well, is it just me or does this cover really look less yellow (especially Shinji's coat) then the Polish one?

Japonica Polonica Fantastica - the Polish publisher of NGE manga - has stated that the final volume will be published on November 20th 2014 - including the special chapter. It's already available for preorder and - as the translator has posted on his ask.fm account - it's being translated ri...

Takemoto describes the fourth act as a michiyuki ( journey ), which eases out of the intense drama of the climactic act, and often consists primarily of song and dance rather than dialogue and plot .. [3]" Now that made me think... How about Peaceful Times ? I know it's a long shot...

For me the concept of spoiling myself was always surprising - I feel horrible when I don't know something NOW so the so-called "spoilers" are pure pleasure for me. I hate not knowing what's in front of me so I try to spoil every movie that I will watch, I begin reading every book b...

While normally I'm a great fan of continuity, this illustration is so awesome that I find myself thinking: I don't care why, I love this picture.

Indeed, that is a tablet, not a scroll. But the dialogue you're omitting is talking about them Actually they seem to me to be a stack of paper (slightly torn on the edges). And the dialogue said only that they exist. I guess that to se whether they are a stone tablet or a stack of paper...

There's also a picture of them in the manga (vol. 5 chapter 33) and they look quite different:

Which manga is this from? I love it!

- the music - especially with the not-so-gratuitous English
- the animation (I could watch the Evas running to catch Sahaquiel every day)
- the ending of 2.0

Other then that I like the manga version best.

Are there any more of those? I have never seen any fanart showing what Touji must have felt while being assaulted by Unit 01 and I'd love to get more of this :)

He's dead, Tzigi. And? Do such petty things really bother Kaworu? Remember when he died in NGE ep. 24 and showed up just a day or so later to comfort Shinji during 3I? I wouldn't put resurrection past him (or if there's really a Kaworu in each coffin on the Moon then he could just s...

If we're going for revenge, then... who was killed as a direct result of Gendo's machinations? Kaworu. So, who could get revenge on Gendo? Nagisa-kun

@tzigi: What we have been offered in Rebuild 3.0 does indeed contain several story elements that are quite similar to ones already present in NGE, as you have pointed out. However, the overall story that these elements tell (along with all the new story elements) is so different from the st...

IF Shinji had been retrieved after a mere month, instead of 14 years, THEN all we would have seen in Rebuild 3.0 would just be another variation of NGE episodes 21-24 (and possibly the first part of EoE). And isn't it now (at least in the broad narrative scheme)? We get (in ...

Having seen the topic on the list I thought: "oh, nice, someone has found evidence that there was no timeskip between Ha and Q". Sadly it's only a question on the meta level... So, what would happen if Q was to take place a month or a bit more after Ha? It would not be so powerful as i...
