Given that brains are 60% fat, and fat dissolves into an oil as it melts, a melting brain should be clear fluid with chunks, which wouldn't look like foam. The only other guess I have is it's the cerebrospinal fluid, but that should look like water. We'd gonna have to argue hard core artistic licenc...

Rei dos have a prog knife I think! I the battle against Sahaquiel? Yeah, it's either Sahaquiel or maybe Matarael but either way it's the only mission where she uses it. It's also only in NGE, with Rebuild omitting her Prog Knife entirely. Also, Asuka's knife seems woefully inefficient because of th...

I always thought that the bubbling flesh is supposed to show that the lance replica was glowing hot when entering and caused the flesh to boil I mean I guess it's technically possible the Lance was superheated to a temperature that would render flesh (based on the bubbling it's less boiling and mor...

@ACGT-Samael: The brains looking like "couscous" as you mentioned is something I've got absolutely nothing for. Even the damned MP Evas have normal-looking brains. About the irises, there's a reason you can't see them anymore: https://wiki.evageeks.org/images/0/0c/M25_C563_anim.gif (I lov...

Here's an interesting one for you... Somebody I spoke to recently interpreted Kaworu (and to a lesser extent Rei) as an allegory for gender dysphoria. The long and short of it is they both seem to express a certain level of unhappiness based on a feeling of being in the "wrong" body, since...

The "stylized black" argument mainly pertains to colors like blue being used as highlights . This doesn't even work for Misato's hair (which we had a long and painful thread about at one point...) since both the base color and the highlights are clearly purple. Now, take another look at E...

A tidbit oft information: the DNA oft a human is roughly 2 meters long. 99% oft that is rubbish with no value in terms oft information to make stuff. It only exists because it can copy itself very well. Info out of :" A short story about everything" a book from 2003 If the source for that...

I'm still not sure there's anything too weird about Unit-02's skin. I always assumed that it's supposed to be more of a true black in-universe, and the use of a more blue shade is to allow better detail and contrast, like how Misato's hair is slightly purple instead of true black when all other actu...

Oh christ I do my best to forget that page exists. So many of my misconceptions about Evangelion came from that page, it's probably the worst place to go to learn anything about Evangelion other than the internet in general. The writer is clearly a surface level fan, insisting that EoE was Anno's r...

Amusingly enough, whoever wrote Shinji's character profile for TV Tropes apparently drew a connection between the clenching and the psychosomatic pain of Unit-01's arm being broken by Sachiel, believing it to be him subconsciously reassuring himself it's still there. I don't think that's really the ...

Re:Unit-02's blood: I've always just assumed the Doylist answer of "red blood wouldn't show up on red armour so they used purple based on that common misconception deoxygenated blood turns purple". Genetic modification is definitely a possibility with the Evas, though based on what we see ...

I think it's just safer to say the Eye Beams are just a use of the AT-Field in an offensive manner, much like the Fist-Cube blast prior to that, and Unit-01's awakening simply allowed it to use them.

- I agree that the real teeth being covered by the jaw armor doesn't actually make any visual sense. It's certainly a visual cheat, but since they keep doing this until the moment in episode 19 when the red interlocking "teeth" are abruptly gone and the real teeth are visible, I'd assume ...

There's no indication of a textural difference on Eva-01's forehead, so I always just took it to be a paler patch of skin with a couple of eye-like spots, and not something ossified. As for the nostrils, those are the four holes in front of the eyes. These are positioned higher on the other Evas fo...

Looking at these images all I can think is Unit-01 has the same occified mask between its eyes as Sachiel has for a face. What is it supposed to be, her nose? As for the way it was drawn in Episode 2, it looks to me like the animators decided to give her cheeks of some kind, since later episodes est...

I have my doubts if she did really ended up as a spiritual godly being, I mean, being a God often seems pleasant, but EVA doesn't play it as a good thing... Issue of whether or not that's true aside, something being good or bad has no bearing on its veracity. The union of Adam and Lilith created a ...

Such a relaxing sound btw.

How long until this is a fandom reaction macro? (For context.)

At the risk of adding fuel to a wildfire, my twisted brain recently noted that Unit-04 has a very similar colour scheme (based on official merchandise) to the Mass Production Evas, whose numbers begin at 05 (ie the one immediately after 04). Now that may just have to do with the fact white is a colo...

Ah, so Unit-01 is self-actualised enough to retain its own form, but the ME Evas are not, and so they're easily swallowed by Lilith's Ego Boundary. That does make sense, though now I'm just confused as to how that was intended to play into their interaction with Unit-01. It's a bit frustrating becau...

...how can they not have souls though? Ritsuko made pretty clear they need souls to actually function. Also given the whole "soul helps shape the body" deal not having souls should prevent them from changing shape like that. Of projecting AT Fields at all.
