For a moment there, it seemed like you were setting up a joke about Nadia's Island Arc.

Alas, it was not meant to be.

Wow, the Rebuild-based punchlines just write themselves.

I seem to remember the Boss character's robot was put together with a lot of junkyard spare parts and the main control interface was a steering wheel. I wonder if it was part of the inspiration for Megas XLR.

I never read the manga, but I remember watching some of the anime during my youth (however, regardless of how many times I was dared to, I never quite had enough guts to yell out "Breast Burn!" while in mixed company). When it comes right down to it, I suppose you could say that just about...

Actually I had yet another idea for a "3+1 vignette" that I was considering posting, since I was kinda having some fun writing them, but it seems like nobody is enjoying reading them. Suffice it to say that it involved a scene in which Asuka, ReiQ, and Shinji are continuing their journey t...

What's Shinji going to spend all that money on? It's like, the end of the world. Everyone's dead, there's no one to buy shit from... C'mon, man, like everything else that makes no sense in Rebuild, it can be hand-waved away as symbolism. It's not really about the monetary units, per se, but more to...

I feel quite strongly that there should be a dramatic scene toward the end of the film where Shinji returns to NERV, heads straight for the remnants of Gendo's office, confronts his father one last time, face to face and finally... DEMANDS the fourteen years worth of backpay that they still owe him,...

I never had any problem with Kaji being the guy on the phone in episode seven. It makes sense to me that Kaji might be willing to track down and supply Gendo with classified data on the Jet Alone project, as well as some inside info on SEELE, in order to eventually gain a level of trust and access w...

Was Kaji involved in Jet Alone's sabotage? I thought he was still en route to Tokyo III with Asuka at that point.

I would like to add (and I shudder saying this since she's one of my faves) Misato... Well, she's certainly not one of my faves, but I would like to nominate her for a (dis)honorable mention. Specifically, I refer to her absolute failure to immediately notify Shinji when Touji was drafted to be the...

The Lance is still available in NERV's basement (didn't Misato give Shinji the nickel tour in 1.11 just prior to Op Yashima?). Maybe use it to temporarily incapacitate Unit-03 just long enough to rescue Asuka. Then use it again to permanently incapacitate Bardiel. Return it to it's storage case once...

I think we can all agree that unless Gendo was arrested and lined up in front of a firing squad, it just wouldn't be much fun.

Um, didn't she do the equivalent of that with some version of Unit-02 (dash, hyphen, mark, or whatever extraneous suffix they decided to attach) at one point during Q, or did I miss something?

Mari breaks that trend for us. Here's an Eva pilot that also has a minor role. She'll even have less screen time than Ritsuko! And suddenly everyone complains about Mari over Ritsuko, simply because Ritusko's a scientist and Mari's an Eva pilot. It's just... totally weird, man. Not sure I can agree...

Why not just replace Shinji with Kaworu while you're at it?

^ I think Tiffany Grant may have thrown in a couple of German expletives or something toward the end of the clip, but that's far from the only scene where she's heard doing that.

^ Is that a clip from one of the Girlfriend of Steel video games? I guess it doesn't count as canon, but still I gotta give Shinji some credit. That must've been some kiss! I mean, there was an explosion of light and everything. Just goes to show what Shinji's truly capable of when nobody's pinching...

Gotta admit I'm not really a fan of KawoShin. Maybe it's due to him only showing up right near the end of the story and not hanging around for very long, but Kaworu just never felt like a complete character to me. Of course, all of that floating in mid air and hijacking Unit-02 without even sitting ...

my number 1 is when Shinji didn't know what to do when Asuka kissed him and stood there like a dead fish... Maybe this is not the proper venue to discuss your point, but FWIW, I didn't have a problem with Shinji's behavior in this scene at all. The way I look at it, Asuka had spent a lot of time up...

@Shark Knight: I am honored by your salute and reciprocate in kind.
