SPOILER: Show

I can't remember, but does Asuka actually show this sort of flexibility at any point in the show? Not that it really matters, because I love that picture regardless.

The high quality ones you are seeing online are ripped from the Japanese DVD, which for some reason has no Western equivalent.

I really hope this means someone else will pick up rights to EoE and we can get a proper re-release outside of Japan. Blu-Ray would be awesome but I'd be totally content just being able to get the same Renewal version that the Japanese have. Personally I don't think EoTV needs upscaling or a...

When you see someone on another forum with the username Thanatos and you think of Thanatos: If I Can't Be Yours. Or when your professor is talking about the concept of Thanatos (which I stupidly never bothered to look up before, but of course is it Freudian) and get the biggest grin on ...

Oh yeah, there's an Asuka Langley Soryu (Asuka's wearing her sundress! :) She wouldn't be too happy about the "Perverts! >///< " staring at her boobs though. ) figure for pre-order on CDJapan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-55168 It'...

That's a great explanation. Easy to understand but it picks up all the important points. My only problems are: The park representing a vagina seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but if other people are seeing it I guess I'll accept it. It's not like there isn't lots of Freudian imag...

Wow, what a boxset. I'd love to get my hands on it even though I wouldn't be able to play the videos at all.

How I would love to go to one of these stores. It would be so much fun just to browse.

Too bad some of the stuff is obnoxiously expensive though. Are Japanese shirts usually like, $70 or are people just paying an Eva tax?

Wouldn't this be completely irrelevant to Gendo anyway? By the time Rei was of an "older age", third impact would have already happened and her job would have been done. So even her creation involved cutting short her lifespan, I doubt it was really a concern to anyone involved.

There isn't much to support it in the text, but I've always had the impression that her university degree was essentially given to her and all of the achievements she brags about were deliberately set up to stroke her ego to help her pilot. It reinforces her self loathing which prompts her ...

I regret the show's erratic sense of what it wants to be. The first and the last five episodes are made as if different conceptions were driving the production staff. NGE would be better if all of the 26 episodes were made as the last ones. I actually disagree. One of my favorite things about t...

I know ambiguity is a defining feature of Eva, but honestly, there are some points where things are very poorly explained and leave too much too fanwanking. Take the episode 24' conversation between Kaworou and Seele, for example. I've read countless arguments of varying types attempting to ...

Misato definitely died. I don't have it with me at the moment but I'm pretty sure if you look closely you can see her body getting destroyed in the explosion. And yet she is in instrumentality so, I don't know if she can come back or not. Instrumentality is pretty vague and I'm prett...

That's a lot of signed stuff! Did you get it all signed at once or did you meet her multiple times? Either way I'm really jealous.

My "collection" consists of only a DVD and poster so I won't even bother taking a picture. Wish I had more stuff though.

Thanks for the info, symbv. That response is pretty much what I would expect people to have thought of the movie. I didn't even like EoE the first time I saw it and was left more bewildered and confused than anything else. I think for many of us, it takes a lot of time for a movie like that to s...

The End of Evangelion is my favorite movie. It's also a pretty crazy movie that tends to shock and confuse first time viewers (myself included) with it's bizarre and disturbing plot and imagery. Still, I think it's a brilliant work of animation that should be up there with all th...

After watching NGE and EoE for the first time I had many questions and ended up using Google to find the Wiki and clear things up. That eventually led to me checking out the forums, which I enjoy browsing from time to time.

I haven't seen it discussed (apologies if I overlooked something), but the final scene of EoE seems to have been directly based on the final scene of Devilman. In particular, the alternate "Last B" scenario is almost identical with the end of Devilman. Anno is reported to have...

Can't say I've ever heard of this until now. I just checked out a few of the songs and I'm a bit disappointed. For whatever reason I just wasn't getting much of an Eva-esque feel from them. Also, like others have said, the rap songs are pretty bad.
