The position was created for her. Nerv was built to perform a task, and she was assigned to that position once they started taking action. There's nothing really left out of the story there. . . . not really, no. But that aside we do know why it's those specific characters -- in every case ...

You kind of are, though. Who cares about who (if anyone) held Misato's rank before her? It doesn't need to be explained because it isn't relevant to the story. Most of the other examples presented are likewise trivial, and most are actually covered in the show if you catch the r...

Being able to work out every last detail of the story so that everything makes logical sense and no holes can be uncovered is more of a luxury than a necessity. As an audience member nitpicking everything from a comfortable distance, and emerging from the modern culture of extreme audience panderin...

Just as a preface, forgive me if this thread has been created, isn't needed, or should be moved. It's my first thread, and created it because I felt it deviated a little bit from other discussions. But without further adieu... -- I don't know if this is a term or not, but Evangelion has ...

The ending to episode 26. That was the first time I'd seen Shinji smile out of happiness in like, the whole series probably. I also loved how they literally sat the characters down and psychologically analyzed them. It was basically a physical meta-commentary. I'd never see a show disregard ...

"A step into terror" brings some good hype to Asuka I guess.

"Dance like you want to win" is the best soundtrack in the series, and quite possibly the GOAT soundtrack in Anime history.

Well the "Genesis" in the title is supposed to refer to the word "beginning" or "birth". It's not just used as a random insert bible name. And the Neon means "New", that way Neon Genesis Evangelion can translate into "New Beginning Gospel", or as...

They should have developed Hikari, especially after Shinji nearly killed Toji in battle

That anagram could not be anymore fitting.

Like seriously, Hideaki Anno must have planned this out

Hello.

Thanks a lot

I'm not that new since I joined some months ago in the summer, but I don't have that many posts.

But um, hey!

Sorry if questions aren't allowed here btw, but how do I check the posts I made?

I noticed that there are two versions of Tsubasa Wo Kudasai in Evangelion. You have this one, in which the first chorus is a solo. It was used in the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKDaCckEt6M And I noticed that you have the one where the first chorus automatically features the children: htt...

Mari.

I have a feeling that anno is finally gonna do something with her, and it will be glorius.

I hope

I don't' think I even had an opinion on Shinji at all to be honest, lol. I was just intrigued by everything, wanting to see what those show had that made it have such a large impact, and those final 9 episodes bought me. And yeah, with Shinji, he didn't really have any emotional support,...

Would it be dumb to think that it can tie into a new series that coincides with the 20th anniversary of Evangelion?

The point I'm making isn't that he did became mature, it's that a character can still develop without having to become mature, contrary to what many people often think has to be the case.

This is brilliant. Did you make this?

This is brilliant.

The way the series focused on the psychological crap during the last 9 episodes.

IT was entertaining seeing how depressive the episodes were. I will never forget hearing "Rei I" and "Thanatos" being used a lot at that time.

You're right; that's a bad example.

Light from Death Note is a better one.
