Eh? I thought you supported the "one ending/two interpretations" theory. My gut reaction is that the two instrumentality sequences can be joined to form one seamless whole, but I haven't watched EoTV in a while, so I'll hold off on commenting for now. I do, but a conversation with...

What is this "Reticulis" you speak of? After all, in NGE we have Angels who are genetically closer to human than chimps are, and they're spawned from a separate Seed of Life. Truly one of the greatest improbabilities of all time, for something that arised over billions of years of evol...

There were - are - such things as mentulae and cunni . My bad... I was thinking about the two that were imported into English. ^_^; A vagina is something into which a Roman soldier would place his spatha or gladius - another euphemism (vagina -ae f. [a scabbard , sheath, case; the husk of grain...

Technical notes indeed. There are some notes about which parts of the picture to accomplish using cels, and something about silhouetting.

Not "double meaning". I was curious as to whether or not the "popping" effect was based on some sort of logic, not just to "look cool". You never know.

As for genetic compatibilty - well, presumably some Ur-species seeded the galaxy with its own biochemistry and morphological fields :D GAH! NO!! Going by this logic, all species on Earth would be genetically compatible with one another. Despite claims in tabloids to the contrary, this is, of course...

Shinji: This is the truth. The result of everything, is this? Asuka: Out of many truths, this is one. Misato: That's the result you wanted . Shinji: I wanted? Rei: Yes. Destruction, the world where nobody was saved. Shinji: NO. It's that nobody saved me. Ritsuko: Nobody can save you. Ryouji...

Nope, no real need. Simply being able to reform on Earth beside Asuka is convincing enough..... He reformed in his entry plug before ejecting it. It fell into the ocean, he exited and bobbed up to the surface, and presumably swam to shore from there. He had enough time to make some grave markers be...

Well, seeing as Shinji was piloting that which was the medium of Third Impact, perhaps it is exceptional that he did not revert into L.C.L. Actually, he did. I can dig up some relevant threads if you like... Just thought of why we don't see anyone with Keel: maybe because he has no eyes :P well...

Of course. Not many people around who go by the name of "Keel" are there? :D I wonder if "Kiel" is actually ever used as a name. It's a pretty strange thing to name your kid, no? hmmmmmm.... we must get a freeze frame for that, I've always wanted to look at that picture a second...

Thanks :D. This is probably one of the largest EVA forums I've been to, so I'll definitiely be looking through this place. You ought to become acquainted with this place , as well. BTW, I think the blood in Shinji's mouth was the more immediate giveaway that something was up with Misato...

If they give me some crap explanation as per one particular Next Generation episode, I will start running with scissors.

- It is spelled "Keel" Well, if he were a real person and not an anime character, "Kiel" would be somewhat more likely. ;) - Keel is not the Wandering Jew There's a damned good chance he is a Jew, though. In fact, there's a damned good chance all of Seele are radical...

Should have posted the sketch from the animatic; much easier to see there.

Mr. Tines wrote:I'd suggested that once, before now.

Yeah, I had that post in mind when I was writing. Were those "Reptoid Greys" you referred to the same aliens?

Now I'm wondering how these aliens would be genetically compatible with humans.

Isn't the literal meaning of "bukkake" something about splashing with warm water, though? In that interpretation, tears would certainly count. I'll never look at the water-splashing scene from "Berserk" the same way again. However, in this day and age, such usage reminds...

We weren't given a good look at Keel's surroundings. He could well have seen somebody -- who knows? In any case, it's odd that he would melt down without Rei's physical touch; the only people we see who do that are already dead. Or they're Shinji.

If Rei really DID want that, why did she blow her Eva up and become Kentucky Fried Rei?

Gendo went to Antarctica in episode #12.

No.
