"Rei has Lilith's DNA" is NGE fanon, as best I can determine. The show doesn't provide a direct statement, but every supplemental source that says anything calls Rei a "copy" -- the same word that's used to describe what the Evas are to Adam. Furthermore, Rei's origins aren't tie...

The specifics of the idea have changed a lot over the past year-plus. Information has been accumulating far too quickly for me to keep the forum up-to-date (it sounds ridiculous, and I wish I were joking; I hate how far behind I've gotten), so I will provide a quick, sloppy, and completely unsupport...

Do we know if Yui & Gendo are in on it together in the rebuild? AFAIK in the original series Yui went off doing her own thing and Gendo was left broken, devising his own plans to try to see her again. Gendo's plans are IMHO one of the more misconstrued aspects of NGE. My impression is that Yui ...

We are clearly presented with the fact that NERV (or Gendou and Fuyutsuki) have become batshit crazy This isn't "clearly presented" at all -- it's a judgment that can be made by an audience member who cannot possibly have all the relevant facts, and not a fact in and of itself. at this po...

You don't have to be "pro"-porn to be against women being given a hard time for participating in the industry. It sounded like you were doing precisely this -- shaming Miyamura -- and so you were asked to clarify your intentions. That's all. You have a pretty notorious and incendiary reput...

They're supposed to fit into Bingo board squares, you know!

Oh, it's basically a bunch of completely substanceless silliness I came up with years ago for fanfic purposes. His comment about Eva-02 being "loathsome" (or maybe he's just talking about Evas in general, but it's more interesting if he's talking about Eva-02 specifically), and the brutal ...

On the plus side, this feeds nicely into my head canon conspiracy that Kiel has a personal beef against Eva-02 and would have probably been pleased to see her get eaten by Gaghiel. In fact, WHAT IF he made his Eva Series a bunch of similarly eyeless things with big mouths specifically so that he cou...

Hopelessromantic made it clear in a recent new topic (that broke one of our main rules so badly it had to go into immediate psycho-hazard containment) that prattling on sanctimoniously about Evangelion while referring to its main theses as hearsay is much easier than actually just sitting his butt d...

Yes, hence why pwhodges used it as an example of actual Shin content that had been been explicitly shown to us.

Clearly. I mean that you could think Kaji was just acting as a covert delivery boy- secret from the crew of the ships, but willingly sent by Kiel to Gendou. My point here, in case it wasn't clear, is that from the Doylean perspective, it doesn't seem that Kaji was thought of as having stolen the em...

When Kaji talks on the phone with Gendo around when Gaghiel attacks, you can see a suitcase in the foreground. This same suitcase is opened at the end of the episode and it has the embryo inside.

It's standard for anime production to specify "3DCG" when referring to rendered 3D assets, so I would guess that you're correct here: it's compositing via computer.

I honestly can't remember the context there, myself. I guess if I have any point at all, it's that you made it sound like there were outtakes on the DVD we could listen to ourselves, when at most it's just AWL imitating a joke MacAvery made during recording.

From the thread Mr. Tines linked to earlier: So, I was watching my Manga Entertainment copy of EoE the other night and noticed another of the fake skylines during the live action portion that's shown before Episode 25'. Which brought me to EvaMonkeys page on the alternate live action sequence; http:...

Adam is intact at Second Impact -- there's a lower body, the staff say that she is walking (i.e. has legs), and Adam's individual steps can be heard. https://wiki.evageeks.org/images/5/53/15_C280A_giant-of-light.jpg Can't comment much on the rest because my idea of how the Spears work is completely ...

^On a related note, there is an outtake in the Manga Entertainment dub where Gendo's VA during the fusion scene had the character wondering where his car keys were as moved his hand inside Rei. There are no outtakes on the DVD, and Gendo's VA didn't participate in the commentary either. You're prob...

Any ideas how they're able to project wherever they want and can choose to be visible only to selected people? The Kaworu episode confused the hell out of me for this reason. It just intensified the question "what the hell ARE Seele?" Episode 24' (the "Kaworu episode") is probab...

Those who left the base before the experiment took tissue samples, I would assume.
