CHIBI-REI WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!! Your words, not mine. I think part of the confusion stems from the fact that we (I think; it could just be me) don't have a solid idea as to what a soul is supposed to be in NGE. The best analogy I can come up with is that it's like a PC BIOS: the ...

Urine probably isn't such a big deal, as it tends to be sterile and 95% water to begin with.

Solids, however, could be a very big deal.

What about Unit 04? Presumably it had been tested before the S2 engine was installed, but with what soul and what pilot?

Can someone please help me out in explaining this? I can only think of one analogy, and it sucks: Instrumentality is kind of like the Matrix.

I play way too much. If I had to pick favorites, it'd be a toss-up between the Fallout series, the Marathon trilogy, and the Half-Life series.

The 4.73x33mm DM11 round would probably have become a NATO standard had the G11 seen any significant adoption by European states, though the round's small size does, as you pointed out, raise questions concerning actual combat effectiveness. As for the Desert Eagle's spare mags, I assumed th...

I thought the G11s were a nice touch, even though it's a little odd that they depicted an intermediate prototype model and not the final G11K2, which had been around for several years when EoE was made. It is well known that the pallet rifle is essentially an upsized Steyr ACR. While the ACR'...

I believe it was Gendou or someone working for Selle. Some soldier or agent. I think it was probably just a faceless mook. [gunnutmode="1"] In the original release of NGE, Kaji's killer had what sounded like a suppressed small-caliber weapon; assuming the Gainax tech people did their ...

Kaworu would make an excellent police standoff negotiator.

Most epic moment? Gee, NGE has quite a few of those.

My personal favorite is the sequence involving Gaghiel versus the Illinois and Kentucky, from episode eight.

It occurs to me that, seeing as the Evas are not robots, the correct title of the game should be something like Super Mecha Wars.

But I digress. As for where one find these things, I suspect eBay has something to do with it.

Damn skippy. I just finally went and bought myself the Platinum Edition and whatever the heck Manga's current version of the D&R / EoE release is. I see no reason to fork over two-fifty C's for a few useless extras.

Extras be darned; I just want the anime.

The Shinji + Misato thing makes me think of Onegai Teacher for some reason.

The only couple I think I can approve of is Toji and Hikari. Why? Because neither of them is required to spend large amounts of time in the line of fire and neither of them seems to have any overt mental problems.

You needn't feel so alone here, with at least two other diagnosed aspies, and a lot of other high scores on the Baron-Cohen scale. I recall seeing a topic on that subject somewhere around here last week. I took the test and scored 39 out of 50. I'm also supposed to be 95% Rei compatible, na...
