I'll chime in here: "Seele" is basically NGE's version of the Illuminati, or FreeMasons. A religious-cult-like, well....Illuminati-like power cabal that are the real ones "pulling the strings" behind international politics. They've been around since at least the end o...

How does 24 change this?

welcome the idea is that in the twist ending of Rebuild of Eva 1, there's still what appears to be blood splattered on the Moon from the death of the Rei/Lilith hybrid during End of Eva. On top of that, the oceans are LCL-colored throughout the movie, and further, *depending on the translation* ...

My doubt is that, how can Kaworu be an Agnel if he was created by SEELE? Wouldn't that imply that SEELE can just go around and make Angels? Plus, I thought Kaworu was full Angel because he could synch with the EVA perfectly, unlike Rei whose only part Angel and cannot. the difference is that Ka...

...Misato said it was impossible after reading Nerv's secret files.

That's kind of sort of Rei's character arc; she's afraid that she's just either a clone of Yui; or, that she's just Lilith living in a new body. ...but not here, not entirely anyway. I don't think she necessarily knows about either on more than a subconscious level until 24....

yes and no I have long pondered what exactly it meant that Kaworu is both the Angel "Tabris" and the "vessel of the soul of Adam" either way, he's identical to Rei the result *I THINK* is that Kaworu is both the first and last Angel: surely, he doesn't consider himself to...

it is IMPOSSIBLE for Angels to co-exist with humans, sadly, so he had to kill himself sooner or later; and they might have stopped Shinji from trying to kill him later. It was his chance.

maybe I should ask Google as my primary resource for answers to serious questions about "Evangelion"?

"Our fathers were our models for God. So when our fathers bailed, what did that tell you about God?" -- Fight Club

the link is not working for me now;

given that AnimeNewsNetwork publicly posted it, and it was apparently supposed to be private but someone stumbled on it, the FUNimation people may have taken it down

I won't pretend to be an authority on Fight Club , but that quote is about self motivation and breaking from societal norms, not any of the generational issued V mentioned previously. Shinji v is a v is living with Misato: "We're a generation of men raised by women...is another woman, ...

Christmas (Xmas) Hentai Evangelion, the name of that sculpture.

I used to think that was some sort of inside joke.

you're ignoring the Fight Club-esque commentary on generational issues in post-WWII Japan which Anno has openly stated is part of the series. That is, Anno's Boomer generation are just "children", the older generation rebuilt Japan, they didn't do anything (Anno is speaking...

It does? We have only a single cut of information to go by here. And all we can see is that most of Kiel's body is cybernetic. We don't know why, we just know that it is. Therefore, you really can't look at that cut and go, "Oh, Kiel replaced most of his body with cybernetics becau...
