Re: Moments where you hated characters you usually like
I think what TheCarkolum may be referring to what is known as the public face as people normally have a face they show the public which is Asuka's not so nice ego face and her private face which shows after she kisses Shinji and it goes wrong where she breaking down and vulnerable and going why did...

Re: What You Did NOT Like About Evangelion
@TheCarkolum I see. Perhaps, instead of "non-human", we might say that the common thread, is being confronted with the presence of the "other". And that both your and my interpretations are two aspects of that? By the way, that picture, which episode is it from? It's from my &qu...

Re: What You Did NOT Like About Evangelion
I always thought it was more of a... primordial thing (like the sea of nutrients from which life evolved). Specifically, those scenes during 3I in EoE, where Shinji is with Rei, and Kaworu, that it symbolized a sort of recreation of life. Or perhaps, of... Not isolation, but just of being alone wit...

Re: Moments where you hated characters you usually like
Surely a character is defined by their personality? A character is defined by what it does through the show. And bear in mind Asuka does not always do things that matches her real being, her true personality. Her cunt personality can be a little distracting, but I love the character anyways. Don't ...

Re: "Anno intended Rei to be creepy"
She's not quite human. She is an imitation. A doll . Coupled with that is overall her lack of agency and emotion, her willingness to do as ordered, and her disregard for self-preservation. It's as if she lacks a soul or her own. She is a human. She has a human soul, Lilith's, therefore is human. Th...

Re: What You Did NOT Like About Evangelion
Well, yeah. There's so much to complain in episode 20. But the train sequence is, as we told before, a motif. The beach one is better, in my opinion, for several reasons. First, it has a purpose along the series, and it never loses it. You know, the human reality, in contrast with when we are inside...

Rei is not only creepy, but a hundred more feelings at the same time. It's perfect.

Re: What You Did NOT Like About Evangelion
How many times is overused? I'm pretty sure you can count the number of train sequences used in the original series on one hand. In episode 20 is used at least 3 times, so pretty sure one hand won't be enough. Again, it's overused because most of the times it's not needed, it's used just because it...

Re: What You Did NOT Like About Evangelion
Trains are burned into Shinji's psyche because they're inextricably linked to the memory of being abandoned by his father. Far from "pretentious", it's smart use of a motif. I'm not against that idea as much as its execution. I mean, it's overused and a lot of times is pointless, which ma...

Re: Why NECESSARILY do the last 3 angels have those appearances?
Specifically the question is why sacrificing the design of two angels to express a vague symbolism of Christianity, to me does not make sense. But they are not sacrificing anything. Their designs are maybe the best of all. In fact, the symbolism doesn't even bother or matter. So, I don't see any pr...

Re: Did Evangelion really run out of budget?
Well, just because something is commonly accepted, does not mean it's true. I know. In fact, the "Unlimited Budget Works" is a joke to emphasize that, maybe the rumor became overbloated, but I still think that they got a high budget compared to other shows. First of all, Karas is not a TV...

Re: Did Evangelion really run out of budget?
Sources? Mmm actually it's hard to provide factual sources because usually they don't release official numbers, but it's commonly accepted that Ufotable, for example, as a big studio that it is, tend to expend large amounts of money in their projects. Look at this in the Crunchyroll website: http://...

Re: Did Evangelion really run out of budget?
Thanks Nahash for the post, very useful. Yeah, I knew money had to do with the production issues of Evangelion. I don't know why people keep denying that. Almost every show has the same budged. That's not slightly true. Fate/Zero had a large amount of money to use it on explosions and effects and so...

Did Evangelion really run out of budget?
Some people say there were production issues, other people say they ran out of budget (this is the most accepted by the fandom), other say Anno went out of his mind... So, I'm sorta confused. Does anybody know the real deal? I mean, it's obvious that some scenes had not the best animation quality an...

I say sexualize everybody so that I can enjoy my eye candy in peace. What? I mean, what's the point of sexualizing? If you wanna get horny, just watch porn or a shitty ecchi for that matter.
