Thanks for the explanation. I've updated both copies.

When I looked, I couldn't figure out what 'Con-V' was supposed to be, so I assumed he must mean the Eva face shows up in the intro before we meet Shinji. I guess not...

I know sequel theorists must be pooping their Pampers with glee about 'Redo', but let's have some perspective here - 'Redo' could refer to a lot of things, like for example redoing the family dinner with Gendo or Asuka redoing her choice to be kind to Rei and step aside, etc.

Anima just keeps getting risquer and risquer. Maybe he should just collaborate with Kimigabuchi...

I quoted from that .txt link and asked "Was Manga Mania #14 released in '99? Maybe that interview was under another title or not mentioned in the table of contents." Fowler said in reply: It was released in Jan 2000. And it's contents doesn't fit that description. Star Fleet, f...

Cue speculation the 'flagship' is _Aoki Uru_.

Wow. That's uh interesting. I didn't expect that. This is a different Ritsuko, apparently - EoE Ritsuko seemed to accept her death pretty peacefully after Gendo's silent line. This Ritsuko seems to mock Gendo's spoken line as she dies; evidence we shouldn't take EoE's silent ...

Japan law enforcement was known for long period of probing and case-building before actually making arrest. The arrest may have been only made in 1999, but I guess the inconvenience and pressure felt by Gainax from authorities as well as media was really a headache, particularly given they were alr...

"TV games"? “Haruhi Ruined Anime” Racial slurs, I knew my argument was missing something . And for myself, how apropos. Without those "unwashed people resident of a Southeast Asian peninsula" and their quarrel over the otherwise uneventful 38th parallel, I could be (not) ...

This interview is significant because it should settle quite a few of myths, speculations or misunderstandings in the west about Gainax, Anno and anime around Eva time, or at least it should help to restore some balance towards some of the conceptions that are often found among Eva/Gainax fans in t...

It's finally done: http://www.gwern.net/docs/2011-house

A little out of my depth, but a style or trend can be identified in retrospect (indeed, most are so identified and then named); so Eva could be superflat before any Superflat manifesto was published.

Are we discussing Takashi Murakami here as ignoring US influence? I mean, I just finished reading _Little Boy_ and Murakami himself discussed the US and Japan quite a bit and the military aspects in particular. The volume spends a lot of time on popular tokusatsu and nuclear bombs, which surely coun...

Just goes to show, when the class reps go bad, they go bad.

I've done that before, but the results are always pretty shitty. (Without using one of those specialty book cradles/mounts, anyway.)

Gonna have to thank 1731298478 for the extra line from the Otaku Talk thing, I didn't know there was more to it. FWIW, I finally got a copy of _Little Boy_, and the whole talk is pretty long. Unfortunately, the book also includes a bunch of color pics, the original Japanese (the whole thing...

EDIT: this is not about Anno and his baby, but Anno and his wife, who (bizarrely) draws herself as a baby.

Also, cute cat (and more comments about that new movie): http://www.tfm.co.jp/mind/index.php?itemid=43487

I've added the videos to the wiki: http://wiki.evageeks.org/index.php?title=Re-Take&curid=5342&diff=70358&oldid=70344 and http://wiki.evageeks.org/index.php?title=Re-Take&diff=70359&oldid=70358

And just to nit pick for lols I don't think Asuka would look full on asian because she is only a quater Japanese :P *That* is the first nit you want to pick? I mean seriously, where are they going to find a red-headed gaijin chick willing to act for them? (Or a gaijin chick at all.) Me,...

Tines, I was humorously asking for sources on that.
