Re: "Original" Shikinami clone, or Sohryu

The theories in that article make some sense, but I still feel too much loose ends ... In the end, no one can know where Sohryu really left off and considering Shikinami a possible direct clone of her does not convince me too much ... (Sohryu has a body more proportioned and much redder hair, while ...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

Hi folks, I've seen the film for a second time and boy did I have a lot to take away from it. I've edited my first post with my impressions so I hope you enjoy. This definitely feels like a movie where multiple viewings will lead to multiple revelations. Did anyone else come away with more or have ...

Re: Shikinami: Did we just get Ocean's Twelved?

Rebuild from the beginning was Rei and Shinji's story and this was understandable (I was even surprised that she didn't stay with Shinji, but that's another topic to be discussed). Rei was always very popular in Japan and, for years, Rei's character deserved to be explored much better and I liked t...

Re: Shikinami: Did we just get Ocean's Twelved?

[...] Can you, uh, provide a source for all this stuff regarding Anno's hatred of Asuka? Like, you clearly have some strong feelings about this, but I feel like you might be projecting Western cultural zeitgeists and social patters onto a Japanese film reflecting Japanese cultural zeitgeists and so...

Re: Shikinami: Did we just get Ocean's Twelved?

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I dare say that Anno got tired of Asuka somehow and he didn't know how to "get rid" of her anymore without Asuka's fan base getting mad at him. I mean, the Rebuild movies could just have worked very well without her, because with Mari it was enough to figh...

Re: The flaws and/or artistic validity of Shin and NTE as a whole

There's little closure here for Asuka, one of the most iconic anime characters of all-time, and yes it's a bit silly. Couldn't agree more with this point. She's probably the most popular character of the entire franchise - not that it means she necessarily deserves a happy ending, but in the Rebuil...

Re: Shin Eva leak general

I've seen the final scenes where Mari comes out and I don't know if it's just me or Mari looks older than Shinji? I mean, it probably just seems to me, but it gives me the feeling that she isn't the same age as Shinji appears to be (I think that in the end Shinji is supposed to be 28 years old?). Th...

Re: Shin Eva leak general

I don't know if this was discussed before or not, please forgive me if so. There appears to be some frustration over the idea of Mari covering Shinji's eyes so that he couldn't see Asuka. However after going frame by frame with the rip, the brief shot we get of Shinji's view after the birds fly off...

Re: Shin Eva leak general

Shinji accepts that maybe he once liked Asuka, but not now (actually, I think he never says he loved her, just that he liked her a little, at least that's seen in the Rebuild movies), then it wouldn't be a problem for him leaving Asuka in Kensuke's hands (plus, Asuka already had a long 14-year histo...

Re: Will 3.0+1.0 Negatively Impact The Legacy of Evangelion?

I don't think it would have been negative had it not retconned EoE. It didn't, though. EoE still happened in its own world. NTE happens in its own world as well. Both of them happened, just at different times from one another. Well, the beach scene between Asuka and Shinji is a clear connection. Fo...

Re: Will 3.0+1.0 Negatively Impact The Legacy of Evangelion?

This reminds me of the television series. My understanding is that audiences continually asked Anno to make a better ending for the series and EoE was born as a result, so I don't think the "power of the people" should be underestimated. Now, Anno is more famous than before and these compl...

Re: Shin Eva leak general

I once read somewhere that Kensuke's character (which is like an "otaku" of weapons and war themes) was, likewise, a kind of representative of "otaku characters" in general, also the "otaku community", so if it's like this... Would Asuka then stay with the "otaku c...

Re: Shin Eva leak general

Until now, we've all been talking about Asuka moving on from Shinji. However, there is much more to uncover here. I mean, does Asuka still need Shinji's love right now? Probably not. A very interesting scene, which few people comment on, is the one that precedes the beach segment. In it, Asuka is p...

Also, it can answer many of the questions that many fans have had in all this time. However, there are things t...

When Rebuild began (the first film), I thought that Fuyutsuki or Ritsuko could kill him. But now, I think Fuyutsuki doesn't have a strong motif to do it (unless in last moment he devise a plan to replace to Gendo when he is almost near to call Yui for joining with her). And about...

Well, it's true that in EoE the JSSDF killed a lot of people until Instrumentality arrived and the rest of people joined with Lilith and they had the opportunity to come back if they wanted to do it. That became a kind of "death" for them. But in Rebuild, I don't think Anno will re...

Personally, I think there is a "problem" or real situation here: since 3.0, audience have been lost, because they don't know how EVA's new plot have to continue. So, everything could happen and I believe people don't have to close their minds to new possibilities. In old EVA, R...
