This has been bugging me forever too and I guess the slip cover was a limited time thing which is annoying because...yeah, lack of consistency. *Sigh*

I've mentioned in older threads that I think the "curse" could be broken in the sense of piloting Eva no longer needed = a Gunbuster-style timeskip would show the pilots older. Or at the very least, I'm anticipating some post-credits scene of seeing Shinji older (grown up?).

Astounding beautiful work from the upcoming vinyl album. You better believe I teared up, hearing the revamped Prelude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeoEaS6ndc0 From Final Fantasy VII Remake: Disc 1 - A Side 1) Prelude 2) Tifa's Theme 3) Those who fight 4) A Flower Blooming in the Church Disc 2 - ...

Yeah, Eva-01 didn't protect Shinji this time around (in whatever 1.0 version you're watching). That was a shocking thing at the time because everybody wondered why the heck Yui didn't react. I believe her eyes didn't light up either, like they do in NGE.

Incredibly interesting thoughts! I like how it ties into Reichu's theories, too

I saw this development on Twitter as it was unfolding, but to clarify Sadamoto's involvement with Khara. The topic title should be changed, because one of his Tweets (dunno if since deleted) mentioned he long ago completely quit Khara (thus, he has nothing to do with Shin Eva). He was only credited ...

Huh, why wasn't the Eva picture linked to?

T'was Eva-08 (revised version γ) after all, like Reichu thought: https://eva-fan.com/blog-entry-6011.html

I, for one, welcome our new "Rei-6 was Raiden all along" overlord. (I much prefer him in MGS2 to MGS4, so that works for me :tongue: ) But oof this is some incredibly unsettling stuff with poor Rei. I'm assuming various things were removed from the 3.0's actual script, then, to either reso...

Various signs could be pointing to an internal timeloop within the New Movies, sure. But, at most, any connections between NGE and New Movie Edition are thematic callbacks. For instance, Eva Q felt very much spiritually like an EoE-sequel (seemingly the world at large blames Shinji for an Impact occ...

Sailor Star Dust : Some of the Shinji/Rei stuff was actually supposed to be covered in a follow-up to the "LILITH IS ALSO AN ADAMS" reveal, but, uh.... :sweat: It seems it got a bit lost in the shuffle. At this point, I'm going to do a rewatch to see if anything new pops out at me, and th...

@Reichu: Really interesting write-up! If I somehow missed this (since these posts were a long read) do let me know, but how do you tie in these points to all this, contrasting their past as Adams with modern day reincarnation? 1) Rei and Shinji's apparent sibling connection (various lines and scene...

Happy to help! I thought my translations would gain more traction with using hashtags, but, whatever. Glad it can help out people that were curious about the details.

I could see him maybe betraying Gendo for Yui's sake (whatever the hell Gendo and Fuyu, let alone Yui are planning this time around!) but mentally I'm trying to wrap my brain around other stuff: https://twitter.com/SailorStardust0/status/1152239696975671301 More scenes (flashbacks, I guess) to what ...

If I read things correctly, it was a new trailer/visuals. Hopefully we'll see in several hours (depending where you are in the world).

I translated Ogata's 3 tweets, for those interested:

I'm on the Wille side and I gotta say 2.0 (bluray) on my iPhone is so beautiful to look at, even if it's temporary

Really love how this thread ties everything together, but admittedly, I have to give everything a properly thorough read. It reminds me of the reading SSD went with in the VN she put out some time after 2.22 first came out I almost forgot about that! Plug for the curious: http://forum.evageeks.org/t...

Well, that was definitely interesting

I'm just (as usual with things) taking the "wait and see" approach while chatting about stuff on the Eva Discord.

Been awhile. Wrote a short Episode 24' fic about Kaworu and Misato, because why not? https://archiveofourown.org/works/19451563

What were people's overall verdict on this? Glancing at the summaries, both seasons seemed...bad in the sense of not living up to the original.
