I agree with your comments about Gendo's love for Yui, especially in that she fulfilled a need of his. Ultimately our only disagreements boil down to how we define love, or how neither of us is explaining it in just the right way for the other to understand what our intended meanings are. I'm not su...

First of all, I'm not sure it's fair to say that Gendo loved Yui based on what's presented in NGE. It's more like he has a desperate, obsessive infatuation with her that, even if he does deserve love, is ultimately selfish. Even more selfishly, he compulsively uses any means to reunite out of his de...

The explanation provided in the actual films is that excessive plug depth results in the pilots "losing their humanity". They look human enough, sure, but Asuka attributes her youthful appearance to "the curse of Eva" and uses the term "Lilin" at the end of 3.0, indica...

I don't think there's really enough evidence to assume that Asuka is referring to anything but going to find and help her in the aftermath. In a way, it's somewhat linked to what happened with the dummy plug and Unit-03, but it's limited to the fact that Asuka was expecting him to do it and Mari was...

Well, that sucks. Whoever made it should've posted the fair-use bit, because I'm guessing it is actually protected from copyright infringement by that clause in the law. I'm guessing whoever owned the account doesn't have it within their power to fight the claim, although I imagine they have to have...

I think what you refer to specifically as the blue moon, and what Reichu claims is a coral reef is more of a small, personal world that represents the smaller version of the world that exists within Shinji's own mind that they talk about a good part of the episode. He asks many times "where&quo...

After Kaworu dies, his soul is somehow later present in GNR during EoE, so in the meantime it was probably lingering around Terminal Dogma where Kaworu died. I had always assumed that it returned to Adam's flesh, which was in Gendo's hand at the time. This explains why Rei returning to Lilith resul...

I imagine some kind of multiverse in which every possible outcome exists in a sort of quantum state, and our consciousness follows and instantiates one particular path; but at the end, Shinji is able, through his understanding, to flip his consciousness across to a different path which then becomes...

I first watched NGE (the original TV anime series) when I was 14, and I was going through a lot of the same issues as the characters, which made them extremely relatable. It's actually quite difficult to only give one reason why the show is so great, but that's one of the biggest reasons I like it s...

The Reis seen in 1.0 and UYCTM/this music video are too distant to be seen clearly and the first one is shrouded by some kind of haze so we can't compare them. But here's the Rei that Rei Q sees inside her tank: http://i.imgur.com/Pdnga49.png That is not Rei II. So who the heck is she? :???: It's m...

Must've confused it with the until you come to me link i saw pages back, my bad. There were a lot of different links floating around, including multiple linking to videos that got taken down. It's understandable that it was confusing and you weren't able to find it. I was just poking a bit of fun a...

I missed the video, anyone still got a ripped version that i could get my hands on? haven't been active at all, and i just happened to see this thread. There's a link just a page back, mane: Just to keep everything in one place, they posted the video on Hikaru Utada's YouTube channel. https://www.y...

Whoa, where is this coming from? Is it a hypothetical musing or something? I've never heard anything about Rebuild starting off in 2017, rather than 2015. Source for info, please.

Asuka isn't a tsundere, but she's the closest NGE incarnation. A NGE yandere wouldn't have to fit the term 100%. Not to plug my own characters, but I used to have an RP character that was intended to be an NGE!yandere, with a natural, realistic descent into madness, based somewhat on one of my past...

1) Unit-01 vs. Sachiel (NGETV/Rebuild) - Best introduction ever, and one of the best animated fight scenes I'd ever seen in an anime at that time (especially for 1996) 2) Unit-02 vs. MP Evas (EOE) - If the first fight with Sachiel hadn't left such an impression on me when I first saw it when I was ...

1) Asuka Langley Soryu is best girl (Asuka Langley Shikinami is still above the rest though) - I've always had a thing for redheads (some how even since I was like 4 years old, I was always attracted to redheads), especially ones who fit Asuka's personality; thinking about it, her issues with hatin...

Because I love yanderes. Particularly realistic portrayals, which I'm sure NGE would have been able to pull off. Unhealthy co-dependency, separation anxiety, jealousy, obsession, and a desire to bathe in the blood of one's enemies. What's not to love? Mari's already got a bit of the bloodthirsty cr...

I saw NGE air on Adult Swim first when I was 12 years old, I saw maybe 5 of the episodes, including the first two. I thought it looked pretty awesome, but never remembered the name. When I turned 14 and moved to where I had lived when I was a lot younger, the internet was finally getting good enough...

I had a feeling they probably were, thanks for confirming though.

I think your estimations are off, along with the fact that you used the cross-section of the inverted pyramid that was presented in perspective. There is also little sense of distance between the black moon and that inverted pyramid, and it seems like you totally guess that. Another thing is that I ...
