As with EoE before it, I often feel compelled to remind everyone that "standing next to each other in the last scene" is not, in fact, equivalent to last being seen furiously making out in a maternity wedding dress Especially since we've got various staff members stating that the scene was...

Wasn't she actually surprisingly high in the last one?

But in the end she's more of a side character, I wouldn't expect her to make it in if Kaji, Ritsuko & the bridge bunnies don't. that doesnt mean ppl hate her.

that seems to be mixing the og & manga continuities too much. manga kaworu certainly wanted "to be remembered", but the anime one is a different animal & it was the intention for him to be a somewhat idealized figure (so that Shinji would feel inferior by comparision & so that ...

some rly good analysis on the key in here.

as for the original question id say its some part of the dead sea scrolls or indeed what the far call them.

But I think Asuka and Shinjis relationship didn't get well in the original show and Anno wanted to correct that Why would he? You're making it sound like it was unintentional. That was very deliberate! Yes. They hate each other! Yes. Asuka bullies Shinji all the time. Yes, Shinji went WAY too far w...

There is no such thing as enough Ayanamis, that's why they made a whole tank full of her https://i.ibb.co/KzKmrFW/92928889-p0-master1200.jpg https://i.ibb.co/pzQS7hG/92924545-p0-master1200.jpg https://i.ibb.co/FK3KmMC/92434725-p0-master1200.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Xz71wJb/92299665-p0-master1200.jpg htt...

lol. What has Rei I ever done to any of you?

You'd think she poisoned your wells, burned your crops and brought a plague onto your houses

To get back to ship talk - I wouldn't really have considered it before, but AsuKen is kind of growing on me. I used to hate it when ppl just stuck whichever girl they didnt put with Shinji on Kensuke because it came out of nowhere & kind of treating him as a human trashbag for unwanted love inte...

For those curious, this is the newest Newtype character poll released this month: https://i.imgur.com/RfWeaXL.jpeg Rei Ayanami ranked in 5th place for females Shinji Ikari ranked in 3rd place for males Kaworu Nagisa ranked in 10th place for males No other Eva characters ranked. Best girl is back in...

This is more a possible speculation that I think is interesting rather than something I think is 100% the one truth; I am going to assume tree things here but, I admit, not conclusively prove 1.The alternate lifetimes that Kaworu speaks of in TuaT indeed explicitly involved the original series 2. Eo...

As I was plotting everything up to early January in my outline I realized that I fucked up & somehow added an extra 11 days at some point; This is especially embarassing cause it was supposed to be an ominous hint throughout & now I blew it. Sorry for anyone who was expecting some clever plo...

She never came across as particularly blunt either Well, episode 6 for example - Rei stands out for not judging/pressuring Shinji, but neither does she coddle him. "What if I don't wanna pilot the EVA"? "then we do it without you." Bam. Logically stating the consequences, no cus...

I would also speculate that the Shinji/Rei dynamic in 2.0 is down to the unexpected popularity of Rei. That's reading too much into it & probably very far from the creators' actual thought processes. They want to tell a story with themes & emotional beats, not hold a popularity contest. Ass...

I can't believe I haven't mentioned this yet, but: Shinji has permanent scars on his palms. In the OG timeline, it's from Third Impact, when the EVA series pierced EVA 01's hands. But he acquired remarkably identical scars in the rebuild version of the Sahaquiel battle. This was not lost on Kaworu. ...

That looks like Gendo is about to be subjected to either a surprise birthday party or a threesome. Shinji & Rei https://i.ibb.co/PrCDbWm/92797533-p0-master1200.jpg https://i.ibb.co/b10bMp1/91634696-p0-master1200.jpg https://i.ibb.co/X8jdbNT/91945924-p0-master1200.jpg https://i.ibb.co/gw7L9VJ/919...

(2.3.8: MOVING-IN-SLASH-BIRTHDAY-SLASH-PROMOTION-PARTY) I keep thinking back to that one conversation that I happened to overhear. I wasn’t even paying much attention at the time, nor did I realize its full significance then – I was trying to wash the dishes we had used during our breakfast, not to ...

Ah, yes. Gendo must be very concerned. He would much rather set him up with a clone of his wife & then have him witness her demise for shits & giggles.

There is a video clip on tumblr but I don't think it's complete Some things seem to be genuine changes/choices - the like masked Reis being just heads in a tube, the 'new' Rei reading (while the one we got in Q markedly didn't) and the DSS choker scene going very different (Kaworu almost goes alone ...
