From what I recall, Lilith was referred to by name in the script for Episode 15, where Misato first sees her crucified body. Don't forget that the Second Angel had been missing since the very beginning. However, they did make changes along the way. "Essene" was the name initially used...

Damn, and Yamashita was my favorite track from the soundtrack too. The Rebuild soundtracks have worked fine in the film (I always thought the music in the show was great on it's own but sometimes overwhelmed what was on screen, but I really love the themes from the show), but aren't ...

I'm on topic. That's what I'd want to ask him, and how the subsequent party would begin before we headed out drunk as skunks to whore it up around Tokyo and then fly to Germany to doodle robots in the margins of the original Nietzsche manuscripts.

Good description of Evangelion.

There is only one person capable of directing an Evangelion motion picture, and it's David Lynch. I think the general consensus is that David Lynch should never be let near large quantities of money and a big name scifi titles ever again. I'd rather see David Cronenberg do it if we're g...

Though I'm still developing this explaination, could Shinji's acceptance of Misato be analgous to an acceptance of love that drives the narrative forward? In structuralist terms, we could see Episode 23 as Shinji's "denial of the [Misato's/Hero's call to action] whereas Epi...

The scene from End of Eva with Asuka and Shinji and the coffee and the strangling. It was incredibly sad and awkward and unpleasant.

"Hit wha-" EPIC PUNCH ! (falls down) I'd hope his response would be something more to the effect of "Puff puff pass son!" and then i'd be all like "I KNEW you were smoking some laced shit!" and he'd be all trollface and jump on the table and go all ...

:???: worry about what? Come on, out with it, no need to be shy. I'm all ears, and won't call you names or anything. I dunno man. I came here hoping for awesome discussion about interpersonal relationships that maybber weren't fanship crap, which admittedly there isn't a whole lot o...

I just worry is all.

I'm a man of my word. Mea culpa. Though you may have a hard time holding onto your Most pretentious Crown now that I'm here.

Though i still disagree with you, and you are pretentious, but as long as you know it and embrace it and can be cool with it I'm down with it.

At the end of the day Eva is a superior piece of popular art. There's plenty of reasons to examine it on a personal level, maybe even on a film level, but advocating study of it like one studies Joyce or Shakespeare is the kind of weeaboo goofballery that makes people think people who enjoy anim...

They work by accentuating the pilot's girly bits and thus creating a demand for merchandise.

If they were made from PWM or something there would have been some sort of indication.

At some point you must realize the fanwank really is just jacking off.

"Can I hit that?"

I used to take lots of drugs and believe in ceremonial magick, then i realized that, as an adult man at the age of 20 it was kind of dumb to believe in magick, so now I don't. I smell things all the time. Whenever I get something new I smell it. When i see an item of interest I give it a sniff. ...

No, you can't. You're fanwanking fanwankery, so to speak, which is deluding any hope of understanding what Anno is trying to convey. You mean understanding what themes Anno was trying to present. Actually you can get a perfectly fine working understanding of Eva from the dub. Maybe it loses...

If there's anyone who knows about keeping one's fandom within its proper limits, it's the guy who reads off powerpoint presentations copied-and-pasted from wikipedia articles about NGE at anime conventions whilst dressed as Guy Fawkes. Oh man, I saw that joker on youtube once. i like ov...

Tang is a powdered orange beverage developed for American astronauts to provide them with a tasty beverage that provides necessary vitamins and minerals. It's tasty as fuck, and you can purchase it in jail on commissary.
