Don't kinkshame Anno, the man likes hands around necks is all

I like Eva as it explored and dissected mental illness and the human condition, something I myself had been struggling with upon watching it.

Anything that involves developing massive Positron rifles that drain a small country of all it's electricity when fired once.

I've just recently checked out the new IDW series of Sonic comics, and I liked it a lot more than I expected to. I've been hesitant since the Archie series was so beloved to me, but if you liked those I'd definitely not give these a miss. There's potential, for sure.

Are there any fan projects/films of Eva that you really enjoyed, and for what reasons? It can really be anything, a continuation, AU, parody etc. I've been binging a lot of corny Star Wars fan films from late 2000s YouTube and this just sprung into my mind for whatever reason. Feel free to link them...

Just unintentional wording on my part, but she is partly what I was referring to. I think that the vast majority of fans don't want to see Asuka in a relationship with any other cast member besides Shinji, Mari included. I don't think they'll have time to develop or make anything out of it, but I th...

^ Well, so many of us love the Shinji x Asuka angle of things, it does make it a little... weird without it. It'd definitely effect many people's enjoyment or thoughts on the rebuilds, although I stand by that it wouldn't be something I'd be completely against. Anno and co. will do what they want w...

It has elements of Grimdark, but I'd say it stops there in terms of similarities.

I wouldn't say that it's something that rubbed off on me, although his very defeatist and negative personality throughout the show does play on your mental state depending on your current mindset. For example, if one is typically depressive and watches the show, Shinji can potentially have an advers...

I don't think it would be a make-or-break aspect of my enjoyment of the Rebuild series honestly, I'd be indifferent for the most part. Although the loss of the "romantic" dynamic between Shinji and Asuka due to a change in character writing would slightly irk me.

It definitely adds to the overall experience in my personal opinion and allows you to join in more forms of conversation. If you think of and measure them based on their own merits and without allowing the original to sour your experience they're definitely worth while and of quality.

All three is a valid answer to be honest, I'm good with that

I want it so bad ^^^

From the head alone this looks amazing. I imagine that these new "merged" style Evas are getting a lot of effort put into their designs to really exentuate the "final" aspect of the movie.

I would vouch for the theory that there's no physical damage to the eye, so much as it was effected through battle with the angels. There's been some focus brought to the eyes of Unit 02 and Asuka before, I believe this to just be an extension of that small detail. Maybe it'll have more prominence i...

I'm pretty verbal about how much of a Shinji x Kaworu trashboy I am, so the answer for me is simple. Best pair though? Not so sure.

Anno's mindset becoming a part of Evangelion's central narrative and message is incredibly interesting, and Shinji's development leading into our own lives was something oddly beautiful. Characters free of flaws are usually quite boring to me, so I'm happy that it was left open ended as to what they...

The shift in tone was definitely noticeable, but to be honest I welcome it. It's really what keeps me invested, and having comedy pushed in alongside the serious sombre tone wouldn't really feel natural, at least in my opinion.

I can't believe I've just now listened to "Don't Think Twice", I think I get just as hyped about the soundtracks of these games as I do with the game itself!

Taking into account the massive change in Shinji's mental state upon desiring to open up to others and what that signifies, it brought something else to my attention that no one seems to discuss all too much. The series/movie cuts off before we get any true insight into the "new" Shinji wh...
