Can someone translate Kaworu's last lines for me? My utterly terrible Japanese is interpreting, "Don't look like that. I will wait for you, Shinji" which I know must be wrong.

Well, if we're going full-on tragic with Shinji, why not end 4.0 with having everyone KILLING Shinji and each other to stop Final Impact? Turns out the apocalypse was just people, not supernatural wiggity magic. Gendou's wife-obsessed, Shinji's mommy-obsessed, Rei's the Armageddon gi...

Awesome analysis! As for the "teams," I am a bit of one and two. I think Shinji didn't intend to commit genocide while rescuing Two. That was an accident of the process. I do however believe that it wasn't quite Twue Wove. It was more like Gendou's twisted love. But the differe...

I don't know, I'm starting to feel like Anno learned his lesson. He wanted EoE to break people out of their otaku habits, he wanted it to get people to realize its' better to go out and take risks than hide all the time. Instead it did the opposite. I'd almost say we can expect a &q...

At this point in the movie, I'm surprised Shinji just hasn't just given up and ended himself at this point. He's the living definition of the Kobayashi Maru in that nothing, and I mean nothing ever will come good out of his mere existence. Why does he even bother? This entire world clea...

He does care, but someone who encourages you to choose what you want, only to threaten you with excessive force later? I mean, seriously... Knowing how things are going, it smells like Shinji is indeed getting a reset button in 4.0 However, if he does, we need to find at which "save point"...

-Get your ass raped by space angel -Call for Baka Shinji to save you when you fear for your life -Yui, Shinji's mother and protector, saves your life so that you can save Shinji -Hate Shinji still Typical Asuka. Why am I not surprised in the least? I thought everyone hated Shinji because they b...

Shall we make a "Misato is a bitch" thread? Because I'd rather see EoE Overdrive instead of watching Shinji suffer because he's being himself. He's going to have to think about what he really wants now. His current "wants" have been getting the people he (apparen...

Justified ancients of mu-mu? I love KLF!

No, wait! It's got to be a repeat sign! There's a difference in spacing between a colon and the dots in the repeat sign. Repeat sign's dots are noticeably closer together, and that characteristic is present in the title. Not only that, but if it were a colon, it'd be contained within...

I don't think that's a repeat, I think it's just a colon followed by a bold(final) double bar. Final does seem to make the most sense. Maybe "fine" if we want to get fancy. But I don't think it's a repeat, and it's definitely not a coda. Sorry to be all ana...

Oh btw, the repeat symbol doesn't mean "repeat forever," it just means "go back to this point and do it again" and you get past the repeat symbol once you've repeated. And if that repeat symbol is right at the end of the song, it's more than appropriate to call the mu...

People have complained that the Upload Utopia interpretation of EoTV goes against the message of the series, but the "Shinji can't get a life, so he kills himself" would really be a 180 on the message. Er, no that's not really what I'm saying. Shinji is destroying the world by...

Maybe they're all skulls from reincarnations of the same eva-sized entity?

Not just Japan. Actually, I'm anticipating that Shinji does indeed die, but he does it for altruistic reasons. Maybe his sacrifice is the only thing that will truly save the world. For so long it's been about Shinji, Shinji, Shinji. But the world was basically stable for the entire fourteen...

First seven minutes are first seven minutes. It's an action opener to start off the film. Then you get a slight cliffhanger as it shifts back to immediately after 2.0 and the story goes from there.

The way anno's doing it, you could probably tackle the same themes as in a sequel, but without it actually being a sequel.

Might be he's doing it this way to break convention.

And, what, the art book too? Kind of an expensive hoax, guys.

Hey, pal, this is anime!

Well, there's a history of that in the family, isn't there?
