I think we analyse in the same way. The only difference is that you seem to cut the author out of the process. Primarily this is because we none of us have Anno to hand to answer all our questions - we have Anno's statement of intent , which does help elucidate what's going on here http://w...

Ritsuko refers to it as the S2 engine (same Kanji as for a diesel engine) even while Shogouki is gulping it down in bloody chunks.

He reacted completely differently to Misato in ep#23, when she was offering to comfort him in the only way she knew how.

ZOMG!!!111oneoneone, those binary sequences are obvious refrences to the angels! :twisted: 350 doesn't divide up between 16, 17, 18 or 19 - various totals one can give for the Angels, either not counting Tabris as separate from Adam, counting humanity as the 18th or even adding both halves of t...

@SEELE 08
One (1) scene; in which Shinji is blushing bigtime.

a real one, not a fan made one, and a serious one with alittle bit of comedy The difference between "real" and "fan-made" is slight - since GAINAX were a bunch of otaku who got together producing short animations for the SF conventions they attended, the original could be accuse...

I think basing your analysis on what you think you know about the author's subconcious workings & mental state is a bad way to go about deconstructing a creative work. No - rather we start with what was said and how; and work from that to see what it implies about itself. Statements by the ...

Something like this, perhaps?

In terms of the literary analysis issues - there is a differentce between what an author means to say, and what the text actually says - all subtleties, side-bands and subtext that decorate the conscious intent. Tines come now you don't beleive this BS do you? I'm not going to dismiss it out...

The text is a history of GAINAX with various NGE names substituted - one of the 2nd Impact report documents we get a brief glimpse of is similar.

As for the mysterious 350-bit string - I've never seen anyone attempt a cryptanalysis of it.

Eat=(in this context) ingest the S2 organ, like Yui-sama did to Zeruel in ep#19. - and thereby not be limited by battery life concerns.

There can only be one reply to that

But Shinji saw Kaworu naked, I think Shinji would have noticed a couple differences if he was a girl, unless he's one of those girls who has a wangdoodle and is flat. Sure, Shinji would have - but we don't get any confirmation. In the shower scene we see a distant stick-figure, a hand, and ...

-SEELE is an ancient organization (which I highly doubt, the geopoliticol make-up is far too modern, very post WWII, UNish) Some of the material in the various Groundwork of Eva books referred to the organization under the name Essene - which would tie in well with the whole Qabala-influenc...

Phoenix Feet wrote:That test type footage suggested that as well.

That is Lilith as surrogate mother, or something more vegetative yet; the Evangelions are explicitly described as scions (Bunshin) of Adam in EoE.

I would say only distantly related - and take the manga as suggetive of what might fill in gaps where the anime is completely silent e.g. when Ritsuko was accosted by the MiBs

Well, although we never got a look, during the shower scene Shinji would have spotted if he had a core to contain it, and would presumably have reacted to seeing it.
