Shinji is Ikari-kun to Rei; Gendo is Ikari-kun to Keel ... who's to say that Yui isn't Ikari-kun to Lilith

If it's USan culture, it would be USan etiquette too.

If you have learned the rough meanings of the use of homorifics, then it gives an extra insight into how the characters think of each other.

what was she doing naked in that bathtub in some war torn building? Asuka: Synch rate, zero... Not qualified to be the Second Child... There's no reason for me to exist anymore. Because no one will look at me now. Not Dad, not Mom, not anyone. There's no reason for me to live now. http://ww...

Probably not. Think of the implications for your mother.

Souls appear to hang around the corpse for a while at least - hence the retireval of Ketucky Fried ReiII.

Asuka, actually. Identification with Kozo came more on later reflection.

For an NGE fan-geek I do have an unusual lack of merchandise - just DVDs.

Yui-sama is a "she", you realise.

Because that's proper english grammar, just like how in the dub they don't use suffixes whenever they say someone's name. It's another big-endian/little-endian convention thing, like the way the US quotes month/day (big-endian) while this side of the pond day/month (litt...

Asuka as foster daughter would be out of asense of obligation. Kozo would be someone I could go out and get wasted with, while we had a good rant about women.

But, provided she gave up on the filthy weed, I'd opt for Ritsuko - she goes for bearded guys, after all :P

How is my fandom - well, it has quieted down over the last couple of years, the way that love does. NGE was not quite the first anime I saw, and is far from the last; it isn't the only anime for which I've written fics, but it is the one I wrote because I had to, rather than wanted to. What ...

The Sohryu name would be handed down as the last "real" (i.e. Japanese) surname on the family tree. Kyoko was a scientist, and thus likely for professional reasons would have kept her name unchanged after marriage. That's if Langley hadn't already divorced her before death,...

In the good old days of the Apollo program, they just wore the same diaper for the whole mission.

That would have to be in Japanese. For English, you could try the Literal Translation version

Faußtin wrote:I'm totally confused. Which one is her family name?

Yes, it is confusing.

In Europe or America, it would conventionally be Langley, her father's surname. But as he's a gaijin, in Japan, she'd use what would there be considered to be her real surname, Sohryu.

One of the sequences that benefitted from re-animation for Death - original smiling Rei is a bit muppet-like.

[You seem normal... :D... in my dictionary... :D :P Structured environments like this help; and I've had a long while to develop coping strategies. Not knowing that there might be anything "wrong" (non-neurotypical) with me other than just being clever, I just thought I was so...

The OP was a good argument as to why trying to translate this into the 90-200 minute movie will be difficult at best; I don't see what can be added, and I agree with the general thrust if the argument.

Well we know that both Kensuke and Toujis fathers work at NERV And that Kensuke's mother is dead, and Touji doesn't mention his mother when listing how everyone else in the family is too busy to visit his sister ( http://www.evacommentary.org/episode-03/episode-03A-scene3.html#cut075 &#...
