You know, it was only a year and a half wait in between 1.0 and 2.0. Maybe that's the same for FINAL. *crosses fingers*

Dang it, you've made me all melancholy. :sniffle: And I just want to say that there is a difference between an actual good character death and just dropping a bridge on her. An example of the former would be Rei II's sacrifice in the original series. There, her death marked a conclusion to h...

Mari is indeed the only one who Asuka can confide in now it seems. I wouldn't be surprised if the former does a heroic sacrifice for the latter.

I might as well add my thoughts on Rei's character as a whole in Rebuild here. I've always been a huge fan of Rei (look at my signature for proof :tongue: ), and her character in the Rebuild series really pleased me, especially in 2.0. I just loved her subtle character development, a...

Yeah. People act like this is an example of Asuka being nice to Rei, but it isn't. It's about her giving up on the fight and retreating into Eva, which is the same mistake her namesake made in NGE (albeit for different reasons). This was still Anno's punch to the gut telling us ...

Very good points there, Though I don't agree with them, it is good to see the other side of the equation.

Personally, with that whole curse of Eva business, unless he hook up with Mari or a new character appears out of the blue in FINAL and fell in love with him(and that would look pretty forced), if there is to be romance in FINAL Asuka is pretty much the only possibility he has left, even if ...

Hey don't worry about it. I'm just curious as to your reasons why.

No need to start a flame war after all.

Personally, I thought Madoka had stunning backgrounds and animation. Then again, I'm just a sucker for Scenery Porn. :tongue: Yeah, similarities both have definitely. Though, So far 3.0 seems to be much superior, IMO. In what ways is 3.0 better than The Rebellion Story? Because I personally feel...

I see Asuka as being more of a sister figure to him this time around than in the original series, when it was clearly romantic. And I agree, she does still care for him, and I look forward to seeing how she develops in FINAL. Again, I see her as being the one to give Shinji the "So F***IN what ...

It's reminesent of Asuka's last thoughts before her "fall" in the series. That Shinji wouldn't come help her when her mind was being violated, but he would run off to save Rei from the Angel trying to merge with her. Difference was in the series it was out of Shinji's hand...

Mk. 3 huh? What does it mean? A new Eva Unit?

Maybe it's sort of like the nanomachines in Metal Gear Solid 4?

Seriously, Asuka in 3.0 frustrated me, for all the reasons you just said. Her coming back for him felt like a dark inversion of Shinji saving Rei at the end of 1.0. I hope that she'll at least be more sympathetic towards him in FINAL. And heck, I'd like to see her interact with Rei-Q for tha...

So yeah, I would love it if it was just a few images of FINAL, complete with a release date. Them just coming out and saying it wont be out till 2015 is way better then just teasing us with "we don't have any idea, so where gonna leave FINAL's site blank lol".

Yeah, I'm not so sure it will be her with Shinji as a couple (it will take some serious development to not have it feel like a case of Strangled By The Red String imo), but I do see her as being a pivotal character. Note how her dragging Shinji from his entry plug mirrors Shinji coming t...

Personally, the more I think about it, the more I like it. Essentially, the film acts as an even bigger deconstruction of The Power Of Love than the original series. Here, it shows that acting exclusively for your own interests and the like is wrong, and the assumption that you are doing it for some...

Hayashibara's reprising a character, but not the one you think: Peaceful Times: Giant God Warrior Learns The True Meaning of Christmas :lol: In all seriousness though, the fact that it was posted on Eva's offical site makes me feel that this does have something to do with the series, be it ...

Does anyone have a translation to this:

Apparently, something Eva related is being released in November. Wonder if it has to do with FINAL.[/url]

I don't think he wanted to change it at all.
