*Yawn* This guy spent a lot of energy bashing Eva, but I don't think he really articulated his reasons all that well, outside of the fact that he hated the characters (and I agree, the characters in Eva are very hateable, I despite pretty much all of them). Well over half the text was a ...

and why did cartoon network take it off the air?

It was a one time special, thats all. They never intended to air the entire series, it was just part of 'Giant Robot Week'.

I second the request although I'm not looking for Cruel Angel's Thesis, but rather sheet music of the Bach pieces in End of Eva...

Why do people automatically assume gainax made some sort of mistake? Maybe because Kaoru says this? Kaoru: Adam, our mother being. Those born from Adam must return to Adam, even anihilating humanity? (From Literal Translation Series) If he knew it was Lillith the whole time obviously he wou...

NeonZ: You obviously missed the point of my essay. The point of my essay is not to prove that Eva is a ripoff of Gundam. My essay is an (atleast I thought it was) obvious parody of the behavior of psychotic Eva fans that feel the need to make lists of how some other anime/game, whether its R...

Sigh... why can't things just end? Eva had a nice conclusion, one that makes it extremely difficult for a sequel to be made (and I'm perfectly happy with that). A sequel would ruin things. And any prequel or side story would taint the franchise as a whole even more (its already b...

Given what would happen with his survival, no question. One can't sacrifice all of humanity because of a friendship with one person. (And given that they were friends for so short a time as I've mentioned in other posts, that makes it even easier, certainly much more so than someone like...

Okay, I am prepared for the flames. God, I hope Quiddity isn't a fan or he'll/she'll (I don't know what gender Quiddity is) tear me a new one. No need to worry! I don't care for fanfics, either reading or writing them. Have never read a page of Eva-R and don't plan o...

Well... but Kaworu wasn't rushed... as you can see, he was always planned to appear in just one episode. And about Rei, in my opnion, if you're going to bring someone back, it's better to do it soon. Even if he was always supposed to only appear in one episode, I still agree with the no...

*Sigh* We can't seem to agree on anything can wee Quiddity? The fact that Rei appeared again so suddenyl was suppose to take all of the sadness out of what the viewers just saw. It was meant as a shock, and it was suppose to alert to you the fact that something is wrong! . No, I guess not :P The fa...

The last six episodes of Evangelion did not feel rushed to me... in fact I think the pacing was done quite well considering Anno's rather hectic directing. Episode 23 and 24 were absurdly rushed IMHO. Which is quite unfortunate, since as good as Eva is, it could have been even better if they ha...

I think Eva, like Gundam, Escaflowne and other shows obviously had its storyline changed in someway (in Gundam it was having 9 episodes cut out, in Escaflowne it was 13) only to have it turn out for the better. Looking back at the original storyline of Eva is interesting in hindsight. Its al...

No, because Unit 00 is blue by that time. I think its a blooper, plain and simple. Just like the plugsuit in the entry plug in episode 20, the animators screwed up.

Firstly where should i buy the first dvd from? Playusa and dvdbo only feature the dvd, no fancy box which i heard was meant to come with it. Best Buy always has stuff for low prices. Amazon.com and TheRightStuf.com are good if you want to buy it online. Secondly, what makes these new releases worth...

im gonna have a lot of fun with them edit- i got banned within 5 minutes :roll: reasons for being banned 1. he had an offensive sig 2. his username 3. his first post was about Evangelion which is a no-discuss, as you all know Looks like they went and deleted all your posts so I can't see what y...

Atmosphere was ment to be taken litterly there... I ment the sky. When Unit-00 throws the lance, it tears apart the clouds over Tokyo-3, When you Summon Odin, he is accompined by a giant rainstorm. Then he throws the Grunge Lance it it rips apart the sky in the same fashion as the Lance of Longinio...

Now I can't shake off the idea that some poor idiot is going to read this book and actually take it seriously. :( Oh no need to think long and hard about it, because that certainly will happen. How many were fooled into believing stuff like 'Anno made the movies for revenge' or '...

Was it here that somebody said that in Final Fantasy VII in the Golden Saucers Showroom there is a D-Type Equipment thingie? If it was here, then I just wish to confirm it. Also in FFVII, Odin's Grunge Lance attack looks very similer to Unit-00 throwing the lance... it even rips through the atm...

(Paraphrasing, don't yell at me if I forget a few of Kozo's words): Will it be an ark *DELETED* (big boat) that will save us all or a demon that will destroy us? Eva unit 01 now posses both the fruit of life *DELETED* (Power of the angels *DELETED!!!* (aliens)...

1. No mainstream religious groups target Evangelion (atleast in the United States, where I live). They take ridiculous stances on other issues FAR more important than an anime that 95% of the population has never even heard of. You think Jerry Falwell has even ever heard of Eva? I doubt it. ...
