I wrote a reply about Kaworu and looping (or not), then decided it should be a new topic. Wasn't I a good boy!

Well, Rei's in the list at least.

Edit: Oh, I hadn't realised that the list contained forbidden names as well as permitted ones. What if the name isn't in the list at all?

Does that include the third movie, which was made much later (and fits between the other two, I understand)?

Music for two versions of the end of the world:

Sakura Nagashi, sung by Hikaru Utada at the end of Q.

Walking Through the Empty Age, sung by Yoko Ishida at end of Texhnolyze.

Yes, I do like melancholy music, why do you ask?

I consider this awesome. :D I agree. Even though no one in it looks actually like their original, yet everyone is instantly recognisable because some aspect of their essence has been captured (though Shinji is the hardest to adjust to, I'm finding). As for details - note the image of th...

Well, that's a load of us in our place then. Where did the concept of respectful disagreement end up?

The instruments show the added noise in the system, but it clearly causes no problem to Shinji, which is the point.

it's not like the rules of "synchronization interference" are entirely known or even half-way known. True; but Shinji's thoughts are known to interfere with Asuka's when he is in Unit-02 with her, so two panicking strangers would seem likely to be worse. On the other hand, it ...

With the manga you get the chance to linger over and appreciate details of a type that may flit by in a normal watching of the anime. I particularly like the (heart-rending) softness of the smile Asuka gives Shinji when telling him off for arriving late to the fight with the harpies; and the...

If the man is cute (what?!), then obviously his young son will be even more appealing simply because that's how it works.

Shinji, I say.

Except Shinji - his face looks almost middle-aged...

I've got to episode 15 of Utena; I've written my reactions so far in the thread dedicated to it as it just got bounced. In brief - fascinating, and certainly one to be watched to the end and puzzled over.

I can't comment on the question, because I'm only partway into my first viewing of Utena . To report on my progress, I've finished the first arc (eps 1-13), and watched the next two. The first season was gently intriguing, very nice to watch, and certainly brought up some real my...

Just handy for these guys (yeah, really - you can apply to become a Mars colonist).

Fortunately, though, Rebuild isn't by Gainax...

What will you do if the ending turns out positive!

(I think of you as the forum's Eeyore - I hope you don't mind.)

I am perfectly happy with the argument that Shinji is at Nerv for only a week or so; but this gives plenty of time for the piano scene still to be viewed as an abstraction - which is how it's felt to me from the first time I saw it. And absolute realism in the learning process is in any case sim...

Sure is - but you drew Ran.

I found the source; it was in this forum. See this post and the few following. The last in the thread (on the next page) points at another translation that was used to update the subs.

Some English subs were published at the very end of May. I can't recall the source (looked in the file: it says [EGF], but that's presumably just for the 3.33 part, using the old Github version); anyway, here they are on my server: for God Warrior alone for God Warrior and 3.33 as si...
