Wouldn't that just be one of those nifty-looking but utterly meaningless readings that are whirling on the bridge whenever the EVAs are sync'ing?

Yeah, though I'd say that not all #4s miss the point. In HERZ the mass-produced Evas are hacked and the ritual is aborted, in Eva 2055 it isn't clarified on what happened but it appears that Shinji and Unit 01 was able to get out and to start slaughtering the mass production Evas. In both st...

Cool, glad to know that I my taxonomy actually works.

What do you mean by missing the point?

I can usually organize them in several categories: 1. Third Impact succeeds, and It is undeniable. Okay, I actually haven't read any fanfic like this, but I bet from the outside view it'd be depressing, rather like a psychic version of the Matrix. And I'd bet it would read like the last ...

Are there any other world maps of the EVA world? I'd like to know which places were destroyed or devestated by Second Impact.

Hm... so having adopted parents is okay, though?

There's a random part-time writer/blogger type online named Paul Burgess , who happens to be an NGE fan . Interestingly enough, when he was in college, he wrote a story named " Bearing Light ", which I've found to be very similar in some ways to NGE. Similar themes I realized: * Th...

Even NGE has to conform to standard anime archetypes.

Hey, thanks!

Nope, but I googled it and found out quite a lot of people who's seen that parody haven't seen it, either.

Then how did... Touji do it? And was Rei and Kaworu special cases? If I ever do a fanfic, I'd probably go with the "quasi-Asperger's-affected 14 year olds" theory. Then again, that came form Wikipedia. The mother's soul thing is a bit too Freudian, not to mention difficult. And...

Were any other TRIDENT (or whatever) pilots mentioned in that game?

I'll try to find a screencap, then.

They... turned it into the direct opposite of a sausage fest?

NGE truly has perhaps the best intro sequence of any anime. Very memorable. Anyone seen any fan-made versions of it for different series? Rahxephon - This may show that they are identical, and I don't care! Card Captor version- I guess it's alright if you're into it. Yu-gi-oh parody seri...

Just how many hints did they give during the series about what happened post-Second Impact? I heard somewhere that there were two "Treaties of Valentine" (did Gundam SEED steal that?), and that there was an India-Pakistan nuclear war...

An addendum- Wikipedia, as well as wiki tech in general, seem to be one of the main points of Web 2.0- open source, everyone able to be involved, free info, etc. I see it as taking Google one step further- not just showing you all the relevant sites on a topic, but putting all the info from those si...

The eponymous heroine from the Eva game- do you like her or hate her? I think she's okay, in an alternate-universe sort of way. At least it gives Shinji the rare opportunity to actually act like he has a spine, or at least some social skills with girls. And Mana is certainly more normal than the...

Is there only one NERV for ever MAGI, or more? The MAGI groups are in Japan, Germany, U.S., and oddly enough China.

One funny thing I read from "Children of an Elder God" is that they mentioned a "NERV-Kenya."

I know, I know. However, three of the fics I've listed above are post-EoE, anyways. And besides, the whole point of fanfics is to push ideas based on series to new angles and avenues of thought. I still seriously doubt that Evangelion is so introspective, angsty, and unreachable that stories can...
