I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of outtake from the guy who did the actual dub. I don't know where the clip actually came from, though (stupid ytmnd) so I have no way to confirm that.

That reminds me of a shot of Ryoko from some part of the Tenchi Universe.

Somebody else just posted that bike on the previous page. It's kind of unnecessary, but I mean as far as bikes go it looks kinda cool. . .

Hah, that puts a new spin on "Kozo wants boobies"

Ignorant question: Who is this "Hiro" chick? Is she from Girlfriend of Steel or from one of the spinoff mangas? I don't think she's an original character, just some sort of renamed version of Asuka. For some reason (mostly the hair color) she reminds me of Chii from Chobit...

If anybody actually makes that paper Eva, post some pics. I considered making it, but decided it was too advanced a project. I tend to avoid any papercraft over two or thee pages, and that one has more than that just for instructions. (Similarly, if anybody finds a template for a simplified/smal...

The word I usually see used is "Papercraft." Edit: There's an Eva model here: http://www.strikebbs.host.sk/papermodel.html No guarantee that it's the same one in that pic (in fact, it likely isn't, as that one was painted, and this one prints in color) Originally posted...

image Hahaha, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Nice. The mp3 version of Shinji's rant. I watched Eva with the dub originally, and I'm pretty sure that's not actually Spike Spencer (I wouldn't put it past him and ADV to do something silly like that, but the voice doesn&#...

Ah, wave pattern. I knew it was something... particle-y.

1) Technically, we know that the Adam-angels have... what did Ritsuko call the thing that was very similar to our DNA? I know it wasn't "DNA." 2) Perhaps in the NGE universe there is a closer connection between DNA and knowlege?* Since our race seems to have been created throug...

What was that from? I only watched the NPCs the last couple times I saw Eva, and I don't remember it at all. Was it replaced, or just cut?

I think the main reason this thread went off track is because there isn't much to be said about "the shape of Gendo, his desk, and their reflection." I only brought up the Fruit of Knowlege because people were discussing religious refs and that's been bugging me for a while, and th...

Perhaps this thread is relevent enough to ask this question: The "fruit of life" is generally agreed to refer to the S2 engine; is there any consensus on what the "fruit of knowlege/wisdom" refers to in this context? Biblically, it's the forbidden fruit, the fruit from the Tr...

Yeah, you can't really take them literally. They're just kind of there.

I agree that there's no real anti- or pro- Christian propaganda in Eva, or even any deep meaning to the symbols, but that doesn't mean they aren't clever, at the very least. For example, naming "The First Human" Adam just makes sense, and having mankind decended from Lilith rat...

Yeah, I don't think it was really a hint at her sexuality, I just think it's interesting that the pairings are there from so early on.

I'm not sure how nice it would be, but certainly if this was planned, and not just an off the cuff moment to make her have some major faults like everyone else, then some type of subtle hint would have been great. There's no real hint about her being attracted to Ritsuko, per se, but... In ...

Isn't Aoba the last of the group to go? If so, he may just be freaked out from seeing everybody else explode.
Why there are a bunch of Rei, and why they're naked (none of the others are!) is a different, weirder question.
