I see you see I see what Anno did there.
(Once I realized this, my main 'gripe' with Q in general and Shinji's storyline in particular kinda went `poof`...)

Mr. Tines:
Thank you, Sir!
@ Gendo mimicking Kaworu's pose...

Thank you HyperShinchan for sharing all these KawoShin and BBQRei goodies...

Rei eating the book...

:EDIT: Seems to me that Gendo is crying because Shinji has never cooked his favorite foods...

Apologies if this has been said before, but I probably skipped some pages... As we know, Shinji's actions in Jo, Ha, Q basically seem to follow a certain pattern: - Shinji sorta making a decision to pilot Eva - Trauma - Refusal to pilot Eva - Being shown/told some "truth" by another ch...

One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. They all did timeskips. I see, thanks. Oh, Bleach too? Which ones? To cite just a couple of examples within the SF realm, I was thinking for example of series like TTGL and Fafner. Gundam SEED (Destiny) also had a (minor) time-skip (along with mino...

Even after watching Q again I cannot, for the life of me, recall any other hint about the so-called Curse of Eva being given in the movie (aside from Asuka's cryptic line to Shinji). So it seems to me that whether this phenomenon is supposed to be caused by LCL exposure or not is pure fa...

No surprise there... You do love your fembois. :biii: Aww, you know I love my ReiRei!!! Also, not necessarily a bad thing but, the KS romance was less "hands on" (*cough*) compared to the tvseries,　if you know what I mean... Although I cannot say it was exactly subtle ! :lo...

So I guess though its hard to compare, would you say that Q is your favorite out of the three Rebuild movies we have so far? Better than 1.0 and 2.0? I cannot say which one is objectively better, but at this moment in time I would have to say that yes, Q is indeed my favorite. I reached this conclu...

I have seen Q once a week since it came out, for a total of three viewings so far. I think I can say that, overall, I love this movie.

^ Yeah, I was just thinking, when Shinji is taken to the bridge, neither he nor the audience have a clear view of Misato (I think our first clue is her voice). For one thing she is wearing those glasses and the uniform with a hat. She is also standing on a platform up high above him so he do...

Nobody on that bridge was happy to see Shinji, make no mistake. Unless they all appeared to look at him with a very constipated and somewhat alarmed face at the same time for no discernible reason. (If I had to make an analogy, I would say they seemed to look at him the way you would eye a vial ...

I have to say I like Shikinami Asuka, and I do not think ending up with Shinji romantically would do her much good... My impression is that, by the end of Q, Asuka might in some sense have replaced Misato in her role as a "guardian" ー while Misato herself might be well on the way to...

I think if given due space in the next movie, where Shinji presumably gets to hang around Asuka & Mari a bit more, the "Curse of Stunted Growth" might provide some interesting character introspection. Trope kinda reminds me of Claudia in the "Interview With The Vampire" novel...

When I saw the movie, when they said that Shinji's synchro-rate had dropped to zero and told him he did not have to pilot, I was reminded of Rei's line in 2.0: "I will make it so that Ikari kun does not need to pilot anymore". I thought, maybe she is in there and her wish has been ...

The hateful Maya shot I've seen seems to support the repots that they are not happy to see Shinji, not happy at all. I cannot recall Maya being in the same room with Shinji. My guess is, her anger in that scene was directed at the young men whose work she was not satisfied with. I do however re...

My impression is that a lot of the "fairy-tale" elements, such as the piano playing, the ruined city and even the suggestion of a musical duet, may be traced as far back as the early development of the Kaworu character, IIRC (the infamous ep.24 drafts....)

DO WANT!

Fast forward to 2007: Happily Married and as rich (and respected) as Steven Spielberg, Anno decides to revisit the most popular and influential anime franchise of the past decade — but without the depression influencing the story. Anno makes plans to re-tell the story of the Evangelion saga...

Eh? Was Q really largely expected to be a Happier Lighter Eva? Personally, I think I like the somewhat "darker" turn Q might be said to have taken. I guess I might have even liked it to delve deeper into the darkness and the abyss of wtf-ery. Maybe I am just desensitized. Make me cry manly...

Not ruined. I'm -ing it.

Can't wait to see Q again.

My impression was that he was lamenting his own role.
