I'm attributing his actions to sexuality because Anno toys with sexuality a lot in the series and because, right before he commits to a great feat, he throws a girl, whom he expressed close intimate relations with, off a hill. We can attribute his actions to chemical reactions but unless Anno po...

I don't think that there was some external force at play that altered Shinji's behavior, that would cheapen his responsibility in what he did with the spears, and the movie made it crystal clear that it's Shinji who fucked up and acted against everyone's advice and pleas, and that t...

Küchenchef apparently means chef Thanks for correcting my lousy reading. So it's The French food (or cuisine, how do you want to translate it) by Chef Eileen Reece and Asuka's reading it in swedish? Weird... Perhaps a throwback to an instrumentality reality. It sure seems to connect...

^ Oh, well okay. Now as for the Fruits, if Rebuild's lore is the same as NGE about this point, Lilith didn't acquired a FoK, she was created with it Which makes sense, considering we're all descended from Eve, someone who was forced out from the Garden of Eden, which naturally exposes u...

I think it's much simpler than that : Gendo is simply referring to what SEELE the "original sin" : for SEELE, mankind and their AT Field separating each other are the source of all their conflicts and misfortune, and thus are "sinners". A "world cleansed of original sin...

Angels have A.T. Fields. In fact, in these new movies, it's the destabilization of the ATF upon death that causes them to explode into red goo. Kind of familiar, isn't it? I'm looking for an explanation to Gendou's words. I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from. Maybe AT ...

I don't know if it is. It really isn't that far of a stretch from "original sin" to "AT fields" if you think about it: original sin comes at least in part from the differences in people, and Evangelion has drawn attention to this dialogue of differences plenty of times. I...

Maybe in ten years there will be a whole new continuity of UHD 4K movies and they'll actually smooch . As to Yui's soul, at first I thought that Yui is absent in NTE, for various reasons, but it's not consistent one way or another. The hand doesn't move to protect Shinji from the li...

I noticed recently there has been some discussion around the concept of the biblical fruits used in Evangelion(the Fruit of Knowledge etc). I found this interesting quote from Gendou in 2.22. It plays when Fuyu and Gendou are observing an impact site, which is zoomed in one as Gendou speaks,...

Yeah. Or perhaps something we haven't heard of yet at all: LCL contamination. As in, maybe Gendou through his own spice into the soup to make pilots feel and act differently. Where was Evangelion 13 born from? It wasn't a conventional birthing moment. Who knows if that affected the chemistry...

I wonder if Unit 01's soul has been removed in NTE. It's interesting to note how much power plays are in each of the comparisons. Neither of the compared shots are small things that can just be brushed off. If you look at them, relative to the worlds they live in, they're actually pretty...

There was definitely a lot of very high stress-related decisions in what Shinji did, but I feel that there is some sort of magic at play here, either from something Gendou manufactured and/or something spiritual. I'm pulling this from when Shinji's eyes change colour when 13 closes Kaworu out.

This is too stupid. Of course Shinji's response is justified. The boy just woke up to being in a 14 year nap to a completely different world, where none of his only friends feel any sort of happiness for his existence. Sure, Shinji is a short-tempered boy. But think of the environment. You wake ...

I has been noted in the first page, way back when the only thing we had was the camrip, but now with BD quality we can add nice images : A little "funny" detail when she's in Beast Mode, the glows continues even when she close her eyes : http://i.imgur.com/NrWtvXl.jpg http://i.imgur.c...

I actually liked it. Replayed it at least 3 times to really decide. The erratic thinking and art style really caught the better side of me. Can't figure out whether it's related Eva or not though, in an important way. Yeah there were obvious scenes from 3.33 but there were even less obvious ...

The music and the setting, especially during the second half of the movie. Glorious. I feel that's when people really started noticing shit.

Hi guys. Back for some more of that delicious Eva goodness! Ahem... firstly, back to the topic of MON Unit-01(or whatever it says over Kaworu's back in that one frame). That doesn't bug me very much, whatever it's supposed to stand for. What bothers me is the fact that it's t...

Thank you for that. I am slowly but surely adjusting to this forum. Lmfao

Medical machines. There's nothing really unique about them and we already know Rei's a pill popper. Good eye though. EDIT It appears I can no longer post in this thread. I don't know why; my post reply button simply is not anywhere on the page. I can post new threads and reply to other o...

Fair enough. I might have let my excitement get the better of me. Regardless, I feel an issue might be having a vague thread like this one. I'm sure a what you found thread could easily include 95% of the posts on this forum.
