Simply the word genesis springs it to my mind immediately.

Also hands. Hands remind me of NGE.

I had already seen Asuka's fight in EoE. Intrigued and curiously scarred, I watch the entirety of EoE hoping for an explaination. Intrigued and horribly scarred, I watch the entirety of the series. I was content :) The thing that got reeled me in after watch Asuka's fight was that the ro...

I believe this is correct. Her face come off and spoke to her, I think.

The want of an eye isn't anything to be particularly sad about unless you're inclined to sniping, and Asuka always had a melee preference anyway. My granddad wore a glass eye for seventy years, and he was fond of saying that he could get any woman in the world if he could only get them to a...

This thread prompted me to rewatch my favorite animes. Code Geass still comes out on top (so...gooood) but I'd say NGE surprised Death Note in my rankings.

The realization that Asuka (most likely) only has one eye just hit me while looking at that picture...

It makes me sad :(

http://i40.tinypic.com/30nazkg.jpg Apparently after having failed in Eva, Gendo decided to shave his head and do the one thing with less chance of success than challenging Seele: Challenge the Batman. (Edit: I realize this isn't Anime, I hope that's ok.) That's a good ass game.

I wrote a character paper centered around The Hedgehog's Dilema for English class.

No, we saw what caused their death, and being hurt, but whenever it comes to the moment right when a character dies, the view switches somewhere else or pans far back. That's a bit stingy. I'd say both cases we "saw" their deaths. It was clear what happened to Rei I. It may not ha...

Rei I was an evil little nymph that had it comin'.

Capitalism vs Communism is just one situation Eva can be applied to. But there are a million others.

That's what happens when you leave so much of a series up to self interpretation.

This was also a little disturbing but now not so much after seeing this picture on google (and it was done by Reichu according to the top right hand corner) http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9859/reichufeelhappy.jpg Dear God. I've never seen that image stilled. That is...that is grueso...

Mari's gotta get her own Eva. I'm certain she'll do something quite significant. You don't just let a character like her sit around.

I can honestly say that I am Pro-Temporary Instrumentality. Everyone would gain a better understanding of the other. If it doesn't somehow end in chaos (humans, ya know?) then I see no reason that it would not end in an overall more peaceful world, with kinder people. But permanent intrs...

If a girl, tell them it has Giant Robots. If a lad, tell them it has Giant Robots. :nod: If that doesn't work, tell him all three main female characters get naked at some point, with two of them having "figurative" sex with the protagonist, and the last one literally doing someone els...

Thanks for all the input guys, really. It helps. I'll be sure to tell those whose interests I peak that they should do some research on it first. You don't know who pushed the button first, or why, and you never will... But on the grand scheme of things, those questions don't really matt...

Well I take part in another forum in which I use an avatar and sig from NME. People are constantly asking me where they are from (it is quite badass afterall) and I always tell them and reccommend them to watch both NGE and NME. But after awhile I started thinking, am I setting these people ...

Does it really matter as long as it's entertaining?

Chistian motifs are used all the time. Not always respectfully.
