How have people interpreted the scene when Rei starts calling Dr Akagi an old hag?

Is that totally an hallucination or is it part Rei's words and part hallucination?

^ I hope you don't believe that anymore... :uhoh: And, Ark, Shinji and Asuka are no longer in Instrumentality, so no "Eden" parallel can be drawn. I never said the beach was Eden. The place where they end up is earth just like in genesis A and E are cast out of Eden and sent to earth ...

That misconception about the end of EOE, where the children "represent" Adam, Eva and Lillith, comes (as I believe) from a well known misinformation eva website which said that this was said by Anno in some kind of interview. I came to the conclusion just by viewing the film. And ...

Admittedly my own initial thoughts on viewing (inevitably, due to the culture of my upbringing) did fly to Judeo-Christian themes, but that was to verbalise the place as Anti-Eden, at the other end of Creation, a setting more reminiscent of the Vestibule of Hell in Dante's Divine Comedy...

In the context, they would be more likely to be interpreted as Izanagi and Izanami.



Yes, but EVA focuses on Judaism/Kaballah and christianity.

Any resemblance is as shallow as those silly cross-shaped explosions and hardly "symbolic" or thematically significant of anything. (You want religious symbols with more substance, look at the Tree of Life.) How can you say that? Its so blatant. Even if EVA was not overtly referen...

The biggest misconception in my opinion is that the final scene of Eoe has no biblical symbolism.

I don't see why anyone would find EoE offensive or see it as an act of revenge.

It seemed completely animesque to me.

So than what's the difference between lilims humans and the FAR humans? What anatomicly makes us different from them. Why are we angelic and they aren't, if we are technicly the same critters. Is just coming from Lilith make you an angel even though you are the same thing as an FAR human? *...

Anyway, when Adam blows up, for reasons completely beyond my comprehension there is still something left of her when all is said and done: An egg from which she can grow once again, attached to Tabris' mandorla. Is this speculation or are you basing it on something. Originally posted on: 25-Jan...

He said that Rei was a product of despairation. Whos despairation is the question. I think Gendo's despair at losing his wife. Fuyutski then says "I suppose it was unreasonable to expect you to forget". The implication is he created Rei to remind him of Yui. Originally posted on: 09-J...

What I'm still unclear about Reichu (sorry if its already been mentioned) is why Yui impales herself with the lance if she already has as S2 organ?

@kaos: Even though Kaworu was killed, his head was still intact. The head isn't the soul's preferred place to hang out, but in that case it didn't have much of a choice. All Gendo needed to do was fish that head out of the LCL and, via his own enigmatic methods, transfer it back into it...

I've visited your Commentary website many times.

I'd appreciate whatever idea it is you have regarding my query. By the time you get around to doing that episode I'll probably be dead.

I've never understood that scene.
