I mean they are partly that, but that is no in-universe explanation, and the way they were put in there was obviously with some purpose, so I am not satisfied with the fact that they are, among other things, a reference I'll be honest, I just think that Anno simply didn't cared that much about the ...

Short excerpt from my translator buddy, Darkbluezero: They're saying they weren't aware of the notion of the timeleap initially I remember reading here that only Kaworu's VA was made informed in advance for the timeskip, and that everyone else learned it the day they started to work on 3.0. Short e...

It's interesting to note that in the early version of 3.0, the storyboards has the remnants of Mark.09 being picked up by neo-NERV's drones, foreshadowing its reconstruction, and that in Yamashita's concept arts, Mark.09 was initially supposed to be heavily cybernetized like Unit 02, so I think that...

I think that's the "third eye" is the highest chakra, you can see the other ones (in black) on Unit 01's abdomen when its in Radiant Giant form:


It's just to add to its transcendent god imagery.

On the scrolls the fith among beings that seem to be the Adams clearly has four arms, implying it's (or ended up being) Eva-13: https://i.redd.it/kjecqifk8hh71.png Lilith is pictured as a totally different being, so I don't think she's an Adam. Also her role is different as mankind's progenitor. On...

There's still the matter of what is Mark.06.

To be fair, the relationship wasn't so healthy for Rei II at the end. Rei II seems to be trapped in her wish to give Shinji "the happiness of a live without the Eva" after 14 years. Not to mention that Rei II is projecting her own wishes to Shinji. That's still one of the healthiest relat...

First paragrphs is explaning the release versions of Shin, followed by the previous movies, culminating with the 2006 announcement mission statement with the whole "Eva is a story that repeats" of which that middle paragraph is a full quote. Ends with I ended Eva twice before, this is the...

And of course, all this is without getting into the subtext here. Just to touch on them, there is a reason why it's Rei who's saved here and not literally anyone else. The symbol of all waifus, a pop culture icon, the idealized young, obedient Japanese girl, that is the personification of the Oedip...

I am puzzled why you think that 06 is responsible for the Impact. We never got anything resembling confirmation on that, and the fact that the Wanderers have 01 heads instead of 06 heads points quite squarely in the other direction regarding the culprit Well, since you asked me directly, I'll answe...

A translator friend of mine mentioned how there were rumours that there'd be a "big Eva announcement". I wondered if they were going to announce a new series or something, but apparently the big announcement was the Shin Project book. Or not. Either way, they probably have *something* coo...

This still does not explain how she was spared and her family wasn't even if they were together for her to witness it. Perhaps they all were far away enough from the epicenter that they weren't caught in the "lightspeed" phase, but rather in the "afterglow"? This doesn't make mu...

This makes most sense. It still doesn't make sense how Kaworu states Shinji's NTI "caused" the other impact by Mark 06 even though it was restarted by a separate party. Because SEELE and Mark 06 were planning to do an impact anyway and would have done so eventually whether Shinji caused a...

Well, Midori doesn't really need a lot of technology to dye her hair. It wouldn't so hard to imagine that she could find hair dye even if the technology was reduced. Honestly, I don't think they have a lot setting established about the way humans live for 3.0, but it's hinted the situation for huma...

Wasn't Midori aesthetically based on an actress' appearance in an older movie? I don't know if coloured hair was present there too. I think it's hard to tell either way when the idea came up. To me her pink hair makes sense to be her styling herself, just because of her personality and mannerisms a...

So you're just guessing? It's not explained, but there are clear implications: in 2.0 SEELE presents Mark.06 as the future "True God" that they'll use instead of Unit 01 (the "false god"), Gendo says at the end of 2.0 as N3I is happening that "soon their plans will come to ...

Looks like not shooting Shinji was super worth it in the end. But yeah everyone in the village or at WILLE is potentially in for some weird reunions - going back to near-normalcy after 14 years in the wasteland is gonna take some adjusting. That is excellent fanfic fuel on how the people who lived ...

Hey, I just thought of something: I always found it weird how the villagers bought Kensuke's story that Rei Q was a refugee, since she has blue hair and red eyes. But if Midori lived in the same Village, they must know that exposure to Wanderer's blood can do weird shit to your hair, so they might h...
