Re: What do you think about backward timeloop?

I'm not sure I really understand what a "backward timeloop" is supposed to be. :???: Perhaps define the terms you're using clearly to avoid ambiguity?

I wouldn't be comfortable linking to such a source if there were -- as "qUaLiTy" as Anima is, the Japanese tankouban is still in print, and all five volumes can be purchased right now digitally, which will give you access to the illustrations in full color. Seven Seas also deserves a stipe...

An update! It's really an update!! It's not much, but maybe it will nudge my ass back in gear a bit. Please enjoy.

Re: The idea of a timeloop

@Melkor : It does sound like a lot, but keep in mind the sheer information density that's in these movies. The story is told using many different methods at once that overlap in a vast array of ways, prop each other up, and create a massive web of ideas that sprawls outward in all directions (inclu...

Re: Evangelion ANIMA (general)

Problem is that Yamashita is a perv who didn't think his own ideas though completely, so the pilots aren't developing any Eva characteristics, just the other way around, even though sync goes in both directions. On top of that, the way sync works is that the higher it is, the more the pilot is overw...

Re: Q sucks and Anno hates you [split]

Making sense of the timeskip is basically impossible without the much-despised preview. Adjusting to changes like Eva-08 becoming Eva-13 is simple compared to trying to compensate for how much more information we simply wouldn't have.

Re: Angels Third Impact? Questioning.

@Analyzor : Kaworu is absolutely an Angel, being a hybrid of the 1st and the 18th. Being born from Adam makes him an Angel in that sense as well, though he's confined to a much more limited form than his brethren, possibly because he has no core and without one an S2 engine cannot develop and funct...

Re: Q sucks and Anno hates you [split]

The essence of Evangelion is much bigger than Shinji, IMO. He's iconic and it's well understood what he represents, but you absolutely could have an Evangelion story without him. That's a separate issue from the idea of him vanishing for a third of a series where he's already been established as the...

Re: The idea of a timeloop

That whole lore rant kinda makes NGE’s lore feel simplistic by comparison. Hey, only I get to call it a rant! :tongue: But yeah, NTE's lore is absolutely, 100% more complicated by far. There's no question there at all. I'm fully expecting Mari and Asuka's relationship to get clarified in such a way...

It's not too out there -- they're Lilin, therefore a part of the 18th Angel. ;) But in terms of them being Adam's Children or something, nah. Seele are just -- in NGE, anyway -- your standard cult of powerful old men who secretly rule the world and believe some pretty weird stuff. Their cultish beli...

Re: Third Impact (Tentative Reconstructed Timeline)

Thank you for catching me up on the current theories. That's a lot to absorb. I thought the rebuild was toning down the obscure puzzles, but it sounds equally (if not more) complex! Yeah, it definitely is a lot to absorb. Even after all these years of becoming intimately familiar with everything, Q...

Re: The Train (Episode 19)

The ones in NTE ("Rebuild") have a pretty established pattern, in fact. 1) Shinji loses unconsciousness inside Eva-01 after 4th Angel battle-> train sequence -> wakes up with a start in hospital bed 2) Shinji loses unconsciousness inside Eva-01 after 6th Angel's attack -> train sequence ->...

Re: The idea of a timeloop

I was never really into all the lore specifics, I just don't think they're that important to the emotional resonance of Evangelion. Also, I just love to watch Anno's directing, no matter how much logical sense it makes... but I'm glad I read this, definitely a new angle to appreciate NTE! Glad you ...

Re: What happens with adam's soul during third impact

Yeah, honestly, the reasoning for my head canon basically goes no further than: 1) If you squint a bit, it kind of looks like Kiel uniquely despises Eva-02. 2) Kiel needs something to handily explain why he's so extensively cyberneticized despite being apparently fine in 2001. 3) Kyoko is crazy, but...
