Maya is an asain lesbian thats why she popular :) Probably. But I think the fact that she's shy and .... cute, to an extent, as well as the fact that she's a total nerd has something to do with it. That's why I like Maya, anyway :] Yeah, I mean, the world would probably be less in p...

Well, Monster is a manga adaptation so it probably wouldn't be fair to celebrate it as an anime creation.

Oh, and Otomo is awesome as well. I'll take Akira or even Steamboy over the all the moe-tard otaku BS that seems to be popular nowadays. (I cannot bring myself to watch Lucky Star. ) You are so right! Moe is BS of the highest order. Lucky Star epitomises said BS - the characters all loo...

I've already said at least twice -- earlier in the thread -- that this is bound to change. (Not sure why those posts escaped so much notice considering the amounts of joy they should have inspired, but...) It's probably because you're being so indirect about it - " bound to...

I rather suspect that Maya is one of those people who - assuming she were even aware of it - would try very hard to repress feelings which would more often than not be seen as socially inappropriate. I agree, she definitely seems very timid and shy throughout the series. So the romance novels that ...

Regarding the horn and oni/demon stuff: Anno's original sketch of an Eva (or the earliest I've seen, anyway) depicts two horns, oni-style. http://www.evacommentary.org/images_production/anno_eva-image-sketch.jpg Ugh! That's horrible! In related Unit01's horn news: The horn o...

Strongly hinted? Of course it is! The blushing, the hands touching, the ecstasy in EoE ... surely you can't deny that it's strongly hinted at, at least? 'd suggest merely trying to understand our viewpoint of why this might not be. If you can see the other side of the fence, it's no...

I catch a bit of the english dub on Adult Swim from time to time, unfortunately, for me at least, it kind of highlights the dumber aspects of the series, sort of how it's "okay" to see a Japanese person talk and act this way, but for someone who sounds like myself or at least comes fr...

Do you own all of the Evangelion DVDs and manga, because if not, that might be a good idea for spending money on?

But from what I've read of your posts, you're saying that Shinji IS gay for Kaworu (at least) and that there is no other interpretation. You even shoot down other theories. Why bring this to a forum, where an intent is to debate, when you won't allow yourself to see another way?...

Unless you're one of those who agree with the "she" thing or have otherwise gotten accustomed to the convention, there's a high probability you'll interpret the omnipresent pronouns as pushing a particular viewpoint, and doing it on a part of the site that is supposed to be &q...

Finished my re-watching of Eva with EoE a few days ago. Haven't really been watching that much anime since, but I've got my Afro Samurai set waiting. I watched the first episode of Gunbuster 2 yesterday and I'm going to continue with that - it was awesome!

200? It's still in 140's, but do you mean you're waiting for the dubs? 8) Oh well, I'm probably just confusing it's episode count with Naruto or One Piece, then. Yeah, I'm waiting for the dub, I really find anime to be much more enjoyable dubbed and Johnny Yong Bosch is ...

Did no one read my post? Did no one look at the actual scene? It's completely impossible to tell where Maya's looking. You see her silhouette as GNR starts rising, then when you see her non-silhoued you can tell that she's looking up, but you can't see GNR (minus her hand). ...

Looking through this topic, it seems there's not one other Irish member .... :/

Do any of the older forumites remember any members that were from Ireland?

They couldn't have a lasting relationship, that's for sure. But at the same time, I'm not offended by those who dream otherwise, because shipping is just a way to have fun. Shipping? :/ It's not about shipping, it's about trying to understand their relationship properly. I very ...

I'll join ... for the good of all that is holy and imperialistic, make me a member!

Miyazaki is fuckwin Miyazaki's awesome, but I prefer Oshii, Kon, and Anno. Oshii ... not-so-much. As much as I've tried, I simply cannot 'like' the original GitS movie. It's like Oshii just expected everyone to understand what was going on (he liked to use phrases like "...

The somewhat bizarre way that image is set up leads me to believe that Kaworu in some angelic mumbo-jumbo manner is observing past events, years prior to the continuity of the movies. Wow, I would never, ever have guessed anything like that, even though it makes a lot of sense. Maybe Kaworu will ta...

I couldn't bare to sit through a 200+ ep series with subtitles, so I've been waiting for the DVD releases - which is actually starting this Monday! Manga Ent.'s first volume of Bleach here in UK & Ireland has the first 20 episodes and I absolutely cannot wait to get stuck in!
