I know. I was talking about what matters most in the show to me and basing my recommendations off that to make an alternate, potentially useful point. As I said , I see it differently than (merely) a "mindless, cute, happy anime". There's that in there, of course - though I'...

"mindless, cute, happy animes" I see Girls und Panzer as different - it's cute, awesome, spirited and incredibly solid. It's far from mindless. for me, neither the cuteness nor the happiness are the core appeals at all. The closest it got to mindless was the more laid-back first ep...

The experience of watching it and almost everything that happens in it is far more uplifting, though, so the point remains.

Is... is it possible Episode 4 was

I know the Lilin took over Adam's position in NGE, but I don't recall them being a failure of Lilith. Actually, the core angle makes some sense. Assuming you still need a Fruit of Life to exist forever, sticking yourself entirely within the most durable, essential body part seems a plausible...

"Dance naked under a blood-streaked full moon and then bathe in LCL and chant the last verse of the Dead Sea Scrolls backwards*." New quote from Kiel's seiyuu's Twitter, he asked Anno how Seele became immortal and this is the response which is now canon. * mutgilieH nieD ,ehcsilmmi...

It's actually anatagata , which is a formal plural "you". Ah, okay I thought I was missing something. I think the implications of Gendo's speech are pretty straightforward, however outrageously bizarre, and it's only our own inability to cope with it that induces the desire to...

Regarding "how is it a mindfuck", I think it's due to excessive fixation with specifics. The emotional and thematic concerns of Eva aren't significantly more harder to follow than in most series, it's just that the literal "why exactly did Armisael create the Angel Tower/w...

4.0 will likely start right where 3.0 ended. Nope, 56-year timeskip, everyone but the pilots is dead, starts with Asuka strangling Rei to death and ends with Shinji strangling Asuka to death before a spectral Larger-than-usual-but-not-quite-giant Naked Rei bites him in half. All the intervening fou...

Reichu : Eh, the theory probably brought LCL to my mind in the first place, don't worry. Shinoyami65 : I guess the council itself may not have lived forever since the start of Seele, which is definitely said to be way old, but they gained the power to endure indefinitely, at any rate. And effec...

I was mainly going off "mystical plot substance/primordial soup" thing. Ooh - LCL held together by AT Fields, which are the light of the soul, which Seele has changed the shape of.

Downgrade it to "vaguely possible maybe", if you like.

Jimmiel, there's no reason to doubt that robotics has enabled them to extend their lives. That"Robotics hasn't been around long enough" seems kind of silly considering the territory. 01:16:33 Even though all of you have changed the shape of your souls, 01:16:37 You are still lifef...

Good point on the alien technology, and I kind of like the rest of what you've written. It fits with what we know about Rebuild, at least thus far. Except your xenophobic cultural elitist condemnation of nomadic tribes; what'd they ever do to you? I guess I just feel is that, similar to NGE,...

What is the Nemesis series? What are the things that attack Asuka in the space battle? What was the 12th angel doing inside Mark.06? Why was Mark.06 impaled in Central Dogma? Why was Lilith impaled in Central Dogma? Wasn't the Nemesis series a new type of autonomous biomechanical Angel-derived ...

I still think it's more metaphysical than cybernetic. Gendo claims they gave them civilisation, and implies they've been around forever. Even if they rigged something to do with LCL, robotics hasn't been around long enough... probably... to account for Seele's extremely long lifespan...

Ramiel is the most moe Angel and the best Eva girl. She is beautiful and I love her. Hypothetically saying I would ever be interested in another Angel - perhaps she decided she wanted to watch - then Armisael because of the wriggliness or Israfel because of the twins-ness.

What I got from that (on top of 2.22's Gendo South Pole chat) was that Rebuild-Seele did some soul-realigning - "changed the shape of [their] souls" thing in order to extend their natural lives in order to stick around long enough to see their whole world purification plan thro...

Just watched the film for the second time. The amount of Nadia in the Wille scenes is impressive. New versions of the theme music, Misato is totally Captain Nemo - minus the seiyuu, who for bonus points voices a new bridge member, Kohji - and, you know, the whole flying ship thing. I love the implie...

Oh, you.

It is beautiful.
The film, not the camrip.
