Removing the S2 engine and sending it away doesn't make any sense because Dr. Katsuragi, the pioneer of S2 theory, is in Antarctica. What's he doing there if not studying Adam's S2 engine? (Something Eva Chronicle discusses in greater detail.) I don't see that as a problem. The scientists were ther...

Too bad I missed this discussion when it was taking place, but better late than never. I read the full thread and regarding several points discussed here, I have also noted the issue of the Spear being found with Adam but then coming from the Dead Sea one month before the Second Impact for the "...

I rather doubt it's Kaworu being referred to. You need to remember when this exposition takes place and the function it's supposed to serve. Building upon and tying together information that has been previously divulged makes sense. We were shown an embryonic thing called "Adam" that's sa...

Definetely Unit 01 escaping from leliel, but showing Shinji depressed inside it First for the psychological build up. Tough is a real shame how that is exactly the only Episode with awful video quality. Ep 16 was the first i saw entirely after glimpsing the second half of episode 15 and thinking Eva...

Ah, yes. Fuyutsuki. I think Fuyutsuki probably moved over Yui but ultimately still wanted to join with her in instrumentality. Being an old man, I'd imagine it'd be difficult to find new aspirations for a complete restart. But then again, I don't think "making sense to continue to live", o...

I don't see how kondo poses an issue any which way. Eijiro gives "in turn" as a possibility for the phrase kondo wa , and this works nicely. 'The god that had taken so long to find was completely gone, too. But in turn, they [humanity] tried to revive the god themselves.' I think what Rit...

Fetuses don't breath, the lungs are inert, they receive oxygenated blood from the umbilical chord. Liquid breathing is possible if you ever looked around for it. A lung full of a oxygen-rich liquid compound could oxygenate the whole body for hours before actually needing to swap the liquid. The prob...

We can't assume Asuka was one of the first to redefine her Ego at all. And I don't even buy into the theory that several days had passed in the "One more final" just because of the rust in the nail that is SUPPOSEDLY in Misato's cross. and no one had returned yet simply because it isn't sh...

I agree with Reichu that the ADV translation is not accurate for that scene specifically for that "Sore Ga Adam". But I don't think that is enough to change the overall meaning of those lines because Ritsuko uses "KONDO" (next time, afterward or this time [implying a previous inc...

^ I seem to recall that being one of the only parts of 16 that still looks perfectly fine. The Interpositive version from the Renewal and BD is not very good, the black crushed issues on this version of episode 16 kills a lot of shadow detail from unit 01 in the Scene Unit 01 escapes from Leliel. A...

I'm sorry but I can't seem to get the subs to episode 26 to work, no matter what. Even though episode 25 subs work perfectly, both the standard and honorific versions of episode 26 just don't show up. I watch EoE using VLC Media Player, in mkv format. First time I ever heard a problem about subs on...

I still like my old interpretation that the source of the powers of the Angels is not due to the S2 engine/fruit of life, but the ability to expand their At Fields. The paranormal powers in eva, including telekinesis is originated from the soul itself, and there is no distinction between the limits ...

http://mora.jp/package/43000014/KICA286_F/ I bought two of these tracks after I have heard that these were actually "remastered with the supervision of Shiroh Sagisu" and was kinda excited, only to be disappointed with the fact that there was no real remix of the original instrument-sample...

How can the film be "objectively bad" when there's clearly a huge divide among fans regarding it? Your opinion is valid, but don't pretend it's anything other than just that: an opinion. The nature of this conversation is subjective, and claiming to hold the objective truth is a cheap way...

I strongly disagree. But I don't think this thread is the right place to thoroughly analyse and dissect the script of 3.33 to build up detailed arguments of why it is bad. I'm quite wordy and that would take a lot of time and would derail the main point of this thread, so I'll have to back up my bol...

Since this thread seem to be quite alive still, I'll also post here my opinion regarding the 3.33: I always had low expectations for Rebuild, I always knew it was not going to be as good as the original series, thus didn't really get disappointed with 1.11 and 2.22. I had fun with those two films, e...

You're going to have to read the works of Karl Popper for a more analytical approach to the criticisms of Freudian theories. But the short version is simply that Freud didn't use scientific or even statistical measures in his studies, making his claims inherently unfalsifiable. Of course I'm aware ...

@BLUE: "There is no need to add background and deep exploration of the characters because we don't have time and they are already shallow anyway, so let's make them even more shallower". I think some action scenes can be fun, but the original Eva series was much more focused on character d...

Ow you were talking about the Karaokê. I'm actually fully aware of ALL the arguments you presented against it and I agree with almost all of them with the exception of double line for romanji+English translation. As we discussed some time ago, I'm aware of some studies in the marketing/communication...

I've now had a chance to see the first TV episode from sephirotic's definitive "(almost)perfect" series batch, and it has serious issues with screen clutter and added memes (of the visual variety). Is there any hope for a clean batch? I'd be even willing to donate money towards that purpo...
