Re: Sadamoto fighting on Twitter, denying war crimes and discriminating Koreans, possibly falling out with Khara
However, it's very easy to find his complaints about the "defamation of the German soldier in film" and the "desecration" of Nazi memorials celebrating his "comrades" who "fought to be saved from communism". I think it's pretty clear the man was, in fact, a c...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
All he had to go on was some vague comments from Kaworu telling him that the spears were wrong somehow, Qaworu was begging him to stop well before Shinji pulled the spears. Qaworu's plan was the only reason Shinji was going to pull the spears to begin with. If you're about to do something that your...

Re: Sadamoto fighting on Twitter, denying war crimes and discriminating Koreans, possibly falling out with Khara
Well, I'd say being a literal Nazi is a pretty good reason to apologize. Just because you don't murder every Jew you see doesn't mean you don't harbor Nazi beliefs. And just because he might not have joined the Party itself doesn't mean he didn't agree with the Nazis' goals. But where do you get th...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
I’m just addressing the common defense of Q’s complete lack of exposition as purposely done to put us in Shinji’s shoes. If this were true, then the only purpose I can see for it to be that way would be to later go back and turn it on its head and reveal that everyone else was right, Shinji (and th...

Fanservice, like most sources of pleasure, is good when it is tasteful & temperate; Anno's fanservice is usually so.

Re: Did Naoko show remorse after killing 1st Rei?
I'm not so sure I agree with you there. Rei abandons her humanity to become a deity untethered to space and time, and as far as I'm aware, mainly to help Shinji (not to free herself or anything). Maybe her first true decision, but also her last. The person that was "Rei Ayanami" ceases to...

Re: Sadamoto fighting on Twitter, denying war crimes and discriminating Koreans, possibly falling out with Khara
Put yourself in the shoes of a German man in 1940. Your country is run by a mass murdering tyrant and his thugs. You know that the Soviet Union is also run by a mass murdering tyrant and his thugs- and you know that if he wins, Stalin will devastate your country and possibly slaughter your family, w...

Re: RahXephon and Evangelion
As one might guess from my avatar, I quite like Rahx. Misato is openly attractive and Haruka was the "not so pretty" type for the later twist Taste varies- I find Haruka considerably more attractive than Misato (and Reika is absolutely exquisite). Certainly when I first watched it I was co...

Re: What would you change about Evangelion?
The influence of SEELE was reduced later because of real life incident(Aum) and switch of focus. It's possible that Aum inspired it, but also it could not get too close so the later half has to be rewritten partly for such reason. Except Seele's portrayal in the later portion of the show is extreme...

Re: What would you change about Evangelion?
But the plot was written before that. I don't think it inspired SEELE, such organization is very common in anime. Also the later focus has switched to ppl's interactions, so SEELE would not have been the main focus. I'm not really sure what you're meaning to argue for at this point; can you please ...

Re: Can Shinji be forgiven for fapping to comatose Asuka?
I'll forgive him once he forgives me. Until then, he's back to the office with Tokita, the wedding dress, and the mouthful of soy sauce as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Driving force of instrumentality
My interpretation is as follows: In EoTV, Instrumentality occurs when Gendou returns Rei to Lilith, presumably doing something with Eva-01 and Adam's embryo also. Adam (the person, not the body) and the Angels seem to have no role here (note that Kaworu never appears), and are apparently permanently...
