I would go for DPD. Apart from avoiding being alone, he fulfils the symptoms of the disorder quite well. In contrast, he has many of the Symptoms of AVDP too, although he does want to become closer with people. This is most obvious when he let his defences down Kaworu. A mistake. What comes to Rei's...

So we come to the 3 options that remain; 1. Ikari x Soryu 2. Ikari x Ayanami 3. None of the above. As i already stated, i believe in option 3 quite strongly, even coming to the point of seeing Soryu and Ikari as rivals. However, i don't see option 1 as impossible either. After all, Soryu is with him...

The "How disgusting" can also be spun in numerous different ways: It can be directed at Shinji, directed at the state of the world, directed at Instrumentallity, directed at what the MP Evas did to her and Unit 2, a show that it really is Asuka talking to Shinji and not another reality fr...

You mean the ending scene? Oh, that can be interpreted a number of ways, but here's my opinion of it: Just because you have a life-changing catharsis doesn't necessarily mean that everything will always be hunky-dory. There's still a possibly of you fumbling and yes, maybe even relapsing. But as lo...

What makes you say that? Yes, Shinji screwed up and has a lot to make up for, but that doesn't mean that his life is over and doomed, and he should just fade away. It's not just him screwing up, but the others around him giving him quite unfair treatment, especially Soryu. Note how he gets on to fi...

I somewhat support this, it is true that Rei was created as the critique to the ''Otaku Dream'', and Anno apparently expected everyone to be disgusted at her and her unrealistic nature. But needless to say, he failed. What comes to her being a doll, she is a purpose-built ''person'' with a clearly d...

Probably Gendo. Not that I don't think he got his just deserts.I do and he deserved it all but it's just really tragic when you consider how messed up he is. I dunno just feel like he is just really messed up person and it's unfortunate. And Rei. I feel like she never had a chance. Not having a cha...

One could feel sorry for Fuyutsuki, surrounded by lunatics and problem-children. I'd go insane in a few weeks in his position. But for me, it is either a tie between Ikari and Soryu, or the late Rei II. The reason for this goes that while the competing duo are in their state for most of the series, ...

Well, you could argue that she had the toughest past of the pilots, but Shinji comes very close. I know very little on Suzuhara, and Rei has no past at all. But her attitude on the field makes her seem much more stable, although we know this is probably false. I feel that a lot of people warmed up m...

Sohryu Asuka Langley, of course. She is the one who comes closest to being the innocent victim even in the original series alone, without having a movie that sets out to kerb-stomp her. I'm not really sure about her innocence, as with any other character. She does after all, have some quite negativ...

My personal favourite was likely episode 23. Plotwise it clears a lot out of the way and connects many of the strings together. Nevertheless, it also features the 'death' of a main character.

Kaworu's short life is something he accepts much easier than the other characters, as well as something he enjoyed while he was alive. I empathize much more with characters like Shinji and Asuka (original series), so they get my vote. Well they both have had difficult situations. Both have one of t...

^^ Kaworu (in the series) is like a dragonfly (damsel fly); he emerges fully-formed and beautiful from his chrysalis to perform the limited role that fate has decreed for him, only to discover that it must end in death within hours/days. How can anyone not be sad for him? You do make a good point o...

I have trouble exactly defining my thoughts on Nagisa, since he is somewhat of a shady character on the show. He appears to be self-confident during his appearances and is aware of his surroundings. Although we do not get to exactly see things from his perspective, he seems to be relatively content....

As stated above, who is the character you feel most sympathy towards and why? Altrough you could argue that almost every single character in the show is somewhat miserable and deeply hurt, i would go for Rei II. A purpose-created clone of someone else, without any social capabilities or other meanin...

Probably because Commander Ikari told her to.

I wonder how he takes her along trips...

Thank you for your kind answer.

SPOILER: Show

I like this one, although i am slightly confused of what it is exactly representing. Do you know?

If you use a dropper on the highest quality stills, it turns out that Kaworu's hair is a very pale lavender! (This ties nicely into a part-Katsuragi pedigree, if you're the sort of person to go for that.) I've noticed that when Lilith develops hair, it's pure white, but when Eva-01 does this (last ...

The pale skin is indeed refering to the Angels, but the blue hair doesn't really come with that. Well, the only angel with hair is Nagisa, and his hair is Gray/White. Blue really seems far fetched. I have to admit though, Ayanami looks good on it.
