Re: FanFiction Requests/Recommendations/Discussion etc.
I vaguely recall there were some rather old fanfics where Misato is de-aged back into a teenager, and she gets romantically involved with Shinji (who's now her physical age). All I could find from my search is Misato's Second Childhood by gunman and successive attempts at continuing/rewriting it by ...

Re: Nerv, the JSSDF, and Anno's nationalism
You do realize that you're shitting all over the JSSDF for repeatedly failing against a threat that is explicitly well beyond anything that is reasonably expected of a "conventional" national military to face, right? They established primarily for dealing with conflicts against human belli...

Re: Nerv, the JSSDF, and Anno's nationalism
Interesting point, but it is undermined by the fact that the JSSDF force that's raiding Nerv HQ is operating at the command of the Seele-compromised Prime Minister of Japan. For all we know (and it's certainly has been my headcanon, for the lack of any canon info on their exact nature), the raiding ...

Re: Evangelion ANIMA (general)
So does the FAR ever figure into the plot? Also, I'm confused over the ending; Armaros would take over anyone who killed it and continue undeterred, but Mari somehow is immune to that and it's never explained?

Re: Nerv, the JSSDF, and Anno's nationalism
This has nothing to do with wanting a political career - I personally find the idea of Anno as a politician to be absurd! Anno is an artist, and artists have expressed their personal political opinions in works since the stone age. I guess the fact that the "might not be a politican (yet?!?)&q...

Re: Nerv, the JSSDF, and Anno's nationalism
Someone that I know and whose judgement I trust had a lot to say on the subject of Anno's nationalism, so I'm quoting the long message that they sent me. Certain people may be very offended by some of the facts laid within, finding them to clash irreconcilably with the reality that they built in the...

Re: Nerv, the JSSDF, and Anno's nationalism
Oh I don't actually think that there's any historical revisionism being alluded to in Anno's nationalistic choices; not that's it's impossible, it's just a case of "extraordinary claims require equally extraordinary evidence". And now that I think about it, Anno not bothering to come up wi...

Nerv, the JSSDF, and Anno's nationalism
While browsing the Japanese Wikipedia's NGE glossary article for whatever info it may have on the JSSDF (scroll down to this section and then go to the heading with "戦略自衛隊(J.S.S.D.F.)" in it), I came across a couple of interesting facts. First, Nerv's descriptor of "Special Agency&quo...

Re: UN status as a world government
Well, are there any possible alternative explanations that could fit all the data we have in our hands? Perhaps the UN is now more of a globalized version of the NATO military alliance with aspects of the European Union's mix of supranationalism and intergovernmentalism, ensuring that there are no m...

UN status as a world government
Do we have any indications, explicit or implicit, of the UN's assumed status as a world government other than the fact that the UN has subsumed the original national military forces into a supranational military under its apparently exclusive control (notwithstanding new national military forces lik...

Re: FanFiction Requests/Recommendations/Discussion etc.
No, Adam Kadmon's Witness has Mana and Shinji as adults who had known each other for a long time at the very beginning, with the former taking only a short time after the story's opening before she betrays Shinji; Asuka, meanwhile, appears much later as a middle schooler.

Re: Pilot and Evangelion concept illustrations from "EVA FIX - Abnormals in Dairy Life"
Because if it were official, it would have the appropriate branding on it. No gainax or khara logo anywhere on the thing. Yeah, you're right. I let the fact that its contents looked like actual production illustrations distract me from checking the credits. So much for raising my hopes that they're...

Re: Pilot and Evangelion concept illustrations from "EVA FIX - Abnormals in Dairy Life"
Yeah, this is 100% fanmade, just an elaborate doujin. How are you so certain? As for what you're missing out on; I've spoken to a few people about this years ago who weren't fluent by any stretch, but spoke enough Japanese to understand the broad strokes; if memory at all serves me, the throughline...

IKR? I wish I could fluently read Japanese so that I could understand all that's written in these illustrations. There's so much lore in this that we're missing out on.

Re: So where did all the battleships come from?
I'm assuming that the obvious answer of "Anno and co. probably used battleships simply for the cool factor, just like how they used Judeo-Christian symbolism mainly because they looked cool and put little to no thought about deeper implications" isn't what you're looking for? Anno did go o...
