I just mean that all events surrounding the final fish meal feel confusing did they take place in series current timeline? Was it a flashback? Or what? Huh? All events took place in the current timeline, with Sanetoshi heavily working his mindfuck magic on Masako. Mario talking in grandpa Natsumes ...

So one part of my is saying "I'm still not sure which of our leading ladies is playing the role of Asuka in this flick." For the strongest analogy, i nominate Ringo, by virtue of being a high-strung, neurotic bitch (cute^_^) with inferiority complexes, an age inappropriate cru...

I thought about that. But to me, it seemed more like she was commenting that she "didn't mind the smell" meaning it wasn't as favorable a scent to her as Shinji's. Also it'd be strange for her to remember a smell like Asuka's from childhood; but far be it for me to cal...

A late reply: Later on, we learn that Asuka and Mari know each other. Their's is a rivalry reborn right when they meet again. When Mari gets inside the cockpit of Unit-02, she comments that it smells of someone else, but doesn't recognize the smell. Nothing conclusive, but this does imply th...

Rei clones? I thought they were the pilots. can you provide me with a link to the storyboards? Here's a link, from gwern's Eva archive. Just to chime in on the whole Kaworu should have had more screentime/buildup thing: i think the suddenness of his appearaence is a big part of what makes h...

^ What's more, if my ears do not deceive me, Pipe Smoking Bastard v2.0 happens to be voiced by Tachiki Fumihiko (also Ringo's dad, and Gendo). If that is so, then i'm convinced that having him say "Shinji" (as in "belive", i guess) about a dozen times ...

I'm not sure what you're referring to as Eva-esque, care to elaborate? Well, for example, while Ringo and Yuri are chilling in the bathhouse, there are lots pans, tilts and stillshots over objects of the nearby environment (vending machines, lamps, bags, spacious interiors) while th...

Yuri having a still burning lesbian crush on Momoka (if i got it right, i only watched it raw) certainly puts an interesting spin on her relationship with Tabuki and how she kept Ringo away from him. I have to admit, i didn't see this one coming. I wonder if Sputnik Sweetheart has anyth...

Some late replies: Ah, Unit 02 β it was. If this were a tv series I would agree with you that Unit 07 would be something we never see that winds up getting scrapped, but I don't think Anno will pull that. He already conned us out of Unit 04 (again), and what with seven being the num...

^ Unit-02 β, if i recall correctly. What i'm getting at is that the parts that would have been used to make 07 will be used to fix 02. The situation at the end of 2.22 is pretty dire, at least as far as fielding an Eva that is capable of fighting Angels but isn't really valuable goes, s...

^ Ten buck says Eva-07 will be used to repair Eva-02.

I'd say Sanetoshi is more likely to be the goddess than Momoka after what we've seen. It's not Momoka who saved Himari in order to prolong their suffering. And the story is already calling a manly man "Mary", so why can't the goddess be a fabulous bishie? Genderjuggling: i...

Was this episode the end of Ringo's arc? She really seemed to change by the end of this. With her narrating the preview for Ep. 14, going on about how everything as she knew it was a lie, i guess she is heading towards a new arc. So, Sanetoshi wants to use the Human Instrumentality Project Survival...

Goodness gracious me! HAPPENED HERE Reference overloaded surreal incest Prometheus. You know, same old same old. Ikuhara continues to be ballsy with proding the Aum Shinrikyo incident, the "no, it was bombs and not nerv gas" ploy be damned. And oh yeah, flawless directing, mindblowing art...

Still, i guess it was made by fans/a fan. *shrug*

Reading about Anno recognizing the fact that the movie is impossibly packed for it's running time, not to mention that it more often than not conveys things in a sleight of hand way, actually reassures me as far as him knowing what he is doing goes. I guess this is a good thing.

Fandom area seems like the logical choice. Not exactly a music video, but still cool.

Well not so fast. Only the date etc is referred to but never it is ever mentioned it is about the sarin attack, and many in 2ch still prefer to have the jury out. A mention can't really be considered a hint anymore when it provides such strong points of reference. Case in point, the event the 2...

You misunderstood me. What i was getting at is that the episode didn't hint, that is, provide a bit of possibly relevant information about the attack: the charaters were flat-out talking about it, in plain conversation.

Most of the talks in 2ch for this episode is the hint at the Sarin attack incident on Tokyo Metro. Hint? More like, head on tackling. Nice episode. Loved the way how Masako's rambling about love being little more than a game of chemicals was immediately explored with Ringo frog-poisining Tabuki. Al...
