I guess my main beef with the manga over all is that it introduces all these changes to the storyline and the characters, yet seems afraid to commit to and build upon them. The ending could really just be seen as the ultimate expression of this. To elaborate: It is not only the ultimately inconseque...

So I guess this is the tropic in which to do a post-mortem on the manga ending? I have already mentioned that I didn't like it, so I felt like giving some more in-depth reasons: The ending is a huge anti-climax and quite frankly lazy and phoned-in as hell. It is basically the straightest possibl...

Man, what a lazy cop out! My opinion on the manga has gone from "Meh." to "Really?!" I mean; as much as people called and are still calling EoTV a cop out, at least it tried to hold on to and convey the series' main message. You can't say the same for the manga. This just...

Tobias Fünke: NERV's analrapist! Shinji: "I... I can't. I'm no good. I can't pilot EVA if all I do is hurt and kill people. I thought I had no choice but to pilot EVA, but I was just lying to myself. I'm not worthy of piloting an EVA, because I don't understand anything....

I think that Kluge from Evangelion Genocide was a good example of how to write a villain.

He was a vicious, cutthroat bastard that despised Gendo because he saw him as a competitor. He was not particularly deep, but it worked out really well.

On the question of to what degree Shinji can qualify as blameless; I really can't help but view his actions in the end of 2.0 and how they are treated in 3.0 as something akin to that scene from Spec Ops: The Line: (Spoilers) http://youtu.be/-b7TaLjdXMc It might be that I am biased becau...

"Get your hand out of my arse, you bloody tosspot!"

Heh. Might as well play along: A puppet version of Mari as Franklin Delano Bluth . Instead of playing her like an offensive black stereotype, Kaji plays her like an offensive British stereotype. Also it sets up the obvious Rebuild joke: "In an effort to hip up his act, Kaji had briefly introduc...

No, the Eva universe at large is not ruined for me, but my view on the Rebuild universe has turned into "bad, until proven otherwise", and I really regret having this view, but 3.0 really does not sound promising to me. There is a difference between going of the rails and going over the ed...

These mentions of LCL as the cause of the age delay; is it the official explanation for "The Curse", or is it just a fan theory?

Well, my perfect ending to the series would be Shinji dying from a heart attack at the age of 93 after encountering a kid wearing a bird mask.

Rei-centric crossover by Max "HotDiggedyDemon" Gilardi.

They are probably trying to tap into the Brony demographic and their delicious, disposable income.

To speculate a bit on the kids question, I think that Asuka, without any professional help to overcome her traumas, would probably act quite cold and distanced towards her children, and outright resent them at worst. With Shinji, it would probably depend on quite a few factors. In the case of a daug...

I could actually imagine a long term relationship between the two being quite healthy, if a sufficient amount of therapy was involved.

On the other hand, I could also easily see it turning to Antichrist 2: Chaos Reigns Again.

Man, Gendo looks SO DAMN HAPPY about getting rid of his beard. That is fricking scary...

"The Captain" by Leonard Cohen. I think the a lot of its themes fits well with Misato's goodbye to Shinji in EoE. Now the Captain called me to his bed He fumbled for my hand "Take these silver bars," he said "I'm giving you command." "Command of what, there...

"Gendo Ikari might be claiming to be upholding YOUR interests, but did you know that he is ruining a government agency with a bloated budget for YOUR hard earned tax money? An agency which holds an exclusive MONOPOLY on warfare against the angels. An agency which relentlessly holds down private...

I don't think that it was genuinely mean-spirited. The guy is a self-admitted Eva fan just as he is a self-admitted Yu-Gi-Oh fan.

I was hanging out with a friend who had rented Collection 0:1 and 0:2 from the local video store. He started watching it while I was reading some of his comics. Eventually I joined in around the second half of episode 4, and stayed on for episode 5 and 6. At this point I was hooked. The next day I w...
