Who originally created the whole concept? Was it the creator of the Manga series or Anno who created the Anime series? Basically what I'm asking is who originally created Neon Genesis Evangelion? Besides my linked page of resources, you should really read the TNM: http://www.gwern.net/docs/2002...

I have, at long last, transcribed the entire damn thing: http://www.gwern.net/docs/2004-okada

Enjoy.

Sounds like the Atlantic interview to me too.

That's more of Toji entering/taking a peek at Shinji's Hell Train dream conversations. What I'm referring to is Shinji actually visiting Toji at the hospital like Hikari does Again, ambiguous. When Touji asks, Hikari specifically mentions that Shinji was in the same hospital but left be...

Doesn't episode 19 deliberately leave that ambiguous with the dream stuff?

Alright, no doubt I'm an incredibly late Slowpoke on this, but I'm not the only one that noticed that the blood red stripe across the moon is the same as the one in the finale of EoE, right? It has been much discussed. The main counter-point is that it leads to Lilith and it's wildly to...

And then Anno finally gets to make the EoE scene with the Evas fighting in a snowy wasteland!

I'd appreciate you looking into that - I have no idea who Crider is/was and I don't like taking his word for it.

I see Sadamoto still is indulging in his 'I'll only draw one eye and let's everyone pretend the bangs really do cover up the missing eye!'

Whatever they pay him...

Probably Sailor Moon herself, given Misato's character design.

That, or one of the Outer Senshi - http://eva.onegeek.org/pipermail/oldeva/1999-January/024692.html

Careful there Sgt! The last time I talked about betting, the admins had aneurysms and nearly banned me.

Hikari? Er... have you seen the translation of the draft for the scene?

I don't know if it's really that weird, people can live wherever they want, for example I read that Yuko Miyamura is also living in Australia or am I wrong? Well, for Miyamura I have solid information: ANN articles, people posting here with audio recordings etc. Australia is where I expect ...

OK, truth time: the person was someone claiming to be Arianne: http://www.gwern.net/komm-susser-tod#comment-443744763 hello...i am arianne the singer mentioned above...i sand kst and everything you've ever dreamed....i am in the middle of working on a new version of KST!! i hope you will like it...

Ah, I guess that's it. Thanks!

I have been told by a certain person that a new version of 'Komm Susser Tod' is in the works. The obvious inference for why a song from 15 years ago would get a rework is that it will be used in Rebuild, which would be quite interesting. Does anyone know anything which might bear on this? Co...

Possibly you saw the other 2005 Azuma thing, http://www.japansociety.org/resources/content/2/0/5/4/documents/azuma_mcgray%20interview.pdf which covers much of the same ground.

"Otaku Unmasked: The Life, Death and Rebirth of Japan’s Pop Culture" http://www.japansociety.org/otaku_unmasked 30 November 2005, Japan Society; Douglas McGray, Hiroki Azuma, and Dai Satō [Hiroki Azuma] ...When I was about twenty-five, Evangelion became a huge phenomenon. I don’t know...

There are some interesting overlaps One of the things I am particularly struck by is that we all know the Komm Susser Tod scene is right before Shinji causes everyone to go tang, right? And here we have a pretty clear allusion to part of episode 25, and what is the dialogue *after* Misato tells him...

Not too terrible an analysis.

But Sachi, what do you make of the draft EoE version of the scene and the differences from the final version?
