Dude, shut the fuck up about my country and my fucking visits to the hospitals. I'm having a normal conversation, I never said to thank Shinji and you start accusing me of idiotic nonsense that I never wrote and you act like racist scum . Get off your fucking immaginary throne, you're have no right...

It's not shipping, it's a fact. Shinji locked the room and he could have done ANYTHING to her, spanning from literally nothing to killing her. Compared to what Gendo did to Ritsuko he's almost a saint. Great, now you've trascended "Berserk Mode". Let's all thank Shinji for what he did, be...

@Guy Nacks: Indeed, of course there’s a context of pressure and painful stress after Kaworu’s death that Shinji has to “release” somehow. But, as you said, it doesn’t excuse his action. I think it was Misato who said something like “hurting others is worse than hurting oneself”, and Shinji chose to ...

If you can bring yourself to feel sympathy for Asuka despite all of her flaws, then you are perfectly able to do the same for Shinji. They're two sides of the same coin. Theoretically, you’re very right, and I would agree with that affirmation… but I don’t think it’s fully correct. They’re indeed t...

I think going as far as to call him despicable is a bit harsh. Shinji does act selfishly at times and towards the end of the series as he and the other characters go down a large downward spiral there are moments where he could/should have acted where he didn't which are frustrating but consider ea...

And yet i still like and sympathize with him, why? I hope it's not because you also paid a visit to a sedated friend in a hospital, haha. To be honest, when I first watched the series (just the series), being 14 years old, I saw Shinji as a kind of alter ego I could relate to very easily with. Some...

Yes, that's the entire point of Shinji's charcter arc and the story of NGE as a whole. I think what Geometer wondered is whether it would be worth for Asuka and Shinji to force themselves into a relationship if they only keep making each other suffer once more. The caress is a hopeful symbol, but A...

I wanted to add a couple of interesting quotes regarding these issues, but I was afraid of making my previous comment way too long. I've always liked these two explanations of Asuka and Shinji during the series and in the end. Was there "love"? Was Asuka "bitter" in the end? Sinc...

I think we two agree on almost everything, Asuka’sBigBrother. At least on the essential. Maybe we use different semantics or see things on a subtly different way (you believe in hope, while I’m rather sceptical). But, in any case, many of our ideas seem to be coincidental. I apologize if I used a ha...

I posted this on the thread about "I Need You", but I think it'd be interesting to show it here as well: Here are a couple of excerpts from two interviews to director Kazuya Tsurumaki , who worked hand-in-hand with Anno on EoE as co-director, that somehow reinforce the idea that EoE is far...

Sorry for the double post, but defending oneself while being outnumbered is quite difficult. You’re cherrypicking. While we do see their relationship fall apart by the end of the series, the relationship initially develops both and it's incredibly evident that both have genuine affection for each ot...

I skimmed your post and didn't see anything disputing the facts of what I said If your way to debate with others is to skim their messages,I wonder why you’re on a site like this. In any case, you should learn to read better, if you didn’t see any argument against your opinions. I think I did use s...

You're blatantly ignoring a great deal of what we're shown throughout the series if you don't think there's potential for good here . As it is, they're already in a much better place by the end of EOE then they were at the beginning of the show. Who said I think they're doomed forever? I do admit t...

I’m afraid what you figured out is merely an overanalysis of a live-action that wasn’t that hard to interpret. While it is not clear whether “I Need You” is a stand-alone title, if it's the name of the scene or the last part of episode 26' (the last 45 minutes), or if i'ts just the response to the q...

Hello, Geometer and thanks for the reply. I can agree with pretty much all you said, but if you let me, I'll comment a few things you said in detail. They are in some sense perfect for each other, both having faced the same trauma with the dead mother, absent father, piloting eva, and general loneli...

Thank you very much for your reply, zlink64. I read a lot of complaints about this but I never actually see it and I argue a lot randomly with people about this show. I think maybe you are making a mountain out of a mole hill . The closest I see are like one off comments that don't come off as serio...

Hello and pleased to meet you all. I have never been on EvaGeeks before, but I have always been an assiduous reader of all the content of this magnificent site, so I feel quite familiar posting here, despite being the first time. The reason I finally decided to sign up is to contribute to the richne...
