Seems odd to say 3.0 ends with Shinji having no one. Hell, the very last shot of the film is the three original Eva pilots heading towards safety TOGETHER. I don't get how you can consider going back to the Wunder "safety" for Shinji. While I've enjoyed "Afterwards" and several ...

I would have to say the hospital scene. For one thing, ol' Shin-man only lasted about fifteen seconds based on the timestamps in VLC, which is pathetic even for a fourteen year old. For another thing, he inexplicably used his strong hand (yeah yeah, it makes the recurring hand symbolism work) which ...

The way her hat is drawn on this makes her look like the bad guy from Strawberry Shortcake.

^ I should really take pen to paper the next time I marathon all of NGE. I came across so many epiphanies during that viewing and sort of forgot them all by the time EoE drew to a close. I never realized that Asuka's stroke of Shinji's face on the beach mirrored the one Yui gave him before she rock...

Also consider that no one at Nerv Headquarters was all like "The Lance of what now?" when Gendo order that it be used. Misato didn't say "What the hell's a Longinus?" While this is true, the Lance was also never mentioned by any of these people when they were in bad jams before ...

I disagree with your definition of plot hole (the eagle problem in LotR is a plot hole, but it's not a contradiction in the narrative - the same with any other instance where the astute viewer might say "why didn't they just..."), and I don't think the Lance is common knowledge at NERV for...

*engages bass voice* ~anticipaaaaaaaation~

I re-hosted the image, does it load now?

Shinji has gone to the Promised Land: http://i.imgur.com/F0JVWSe.jpg http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=55798190 Clicking through the suggestions on that Pixiv led me to a lot of strange and interesting places. One of them was this: http://i.imgur.com/0kOnfqn.jpg

If the spear's status as a last-ditch weapon against the angels was known beforehand, why wasn't it ever mentioned in any previous fights where NERV was in a tight spot? Surely somebody (probably Misato) would have suggested it as an alternative to the plans against at least one of Ramiel, Sahaquiel...

Wasn't there a stronger backlash to D&R than there was to EoTV?

The new banner rules.

If the tangent can be forgiven, didn't you have Asuka give Misato a verbal drubbing about that incident at some point in Ghosts?

Asuka's misbehavior during the action arc becomes a lot harder to play for laughs if Oscar does it. I don't think Ray becomes the cool silent type, either. Furthermore, I don't know if it's possible to change Kaoru's sex since he's practically David Bowie to begin with.

I forgot to put okuaku's works in that list, too. A relic from the days when Random1377/Rx7, Ryoma, Shizumaru, and Red Horseman were active.

Are there any fanfics which you REALLY wish were someday updated or, God forbid, even finished? I mean, of course writing fanfics is a pretty time consuming hobby that is generally rewarded with reviews, which... most people tend not to write, and well, life goes on, an author may find that his int...

I have a toddler, I'm familiar with their head proportions. It's the shape that looks off, I think.

Happy Family  SPOILER: Show

This is a neat pic, but something about Shinji's head seems off - he looks kinda like that one guy from Akira.

SCENE: Two FAR are having drinks at a DIVE BAR. FAR BOB: So Jim, we're putting the finishing touches on these seed things before we goop our souls and shove 'em in there.

First off, I'd like to state that I initially read the title as "If 3rd Impact was advertised" and was preparing an elaborate Beavis and Butthead Do Instrumentality joke that is now flushed down the memory hole. Secondly, I concur with jcmoorehead that it depends on exactly when and how th...
