It doesn't matter, the point of Shikinami is that her entire existance is being an expendable jobber. Both in-universe and in the narrative.

JJK0 sold 150k in the first week so it's just the market being massively down compared to 13-10 years ago.

Idk if "interesting" is the right word, but according to this the booklet contains a deleted scene/unused footage of the Spear of Gaius sequence where it also pierces and destroys the script which I think is at least pretty amusing. It makes sense, after that point of the movie the script...

As for the flirting and hand holding, this is a Japanese work of fiction, a culture where physical contact is usually kept to a minimum, so having a man and a woman (joke?) flirting, the man removing the woman's glasses to tease her before going out holding hands in public is a very loaded behavior...

Coming out from retirement to wish happy 10th birthday to this fantastic movie, which sadly had to be followed up by the biggest entertainment disappointment I've experienced in my life.

Looks like I wasn't making stuff up.

Great for the people who care about the movie.

I won't to spoil, but to a degree I have to say yes after Shin. There is a level of metacommentary and implications in the movie that undermine the very reasons why I like and relate to Eva in the first place, and even if I don't acknowledge them as relevant to NGE and its message, the fact that the...

I've sent the scan to the people who needed it.

So according to my translator buddy, this includes a cut line [EDIT: apparently a mostly different scene from the an earlier version of Part A] by Asuka saying she "can't even have sex". It fits with her not being able to eat or sleep anymore, as an Angel hybrid. No wonder she's so frustr...

I'll try to scan the magazine soon, but the truth it is that I kinda don't care anymore about Shin so I've not been visiting the forum or feeling any desire to know what they have to say about it. Sorry for the delay but I will scan it.

Well, being new doesn't mean that she has to be a super important MC or steal everyone's show; That would just make everyone hate her. Well, she is super important in Shin and she, quite literally , steals everyone's show at the end. Expecting more interactions with a characters that ends up being ...

Eva main characters - what made them unique and relatable + relentless positivity = Mari

I know that I know nothing

he clearly has a lot of pent-up emotions toward him and a lot to say (the possibility of their interactions was the source of a ton of speculation between Q and Shin), yet almost nothing happens during part A, when she had nothing else to do (and did nothing). This makes sense if you consider the e...

As I wrote in my previous long post, anything about Mari would have been appreciated really. What we see in the movie is pretty much an idealization more than an actual character. In a way, she sort of replaced Kaworu in that role by being the completely selfless and supportive character. She is alw...

Well, this is going to help me wait for the movie quite a bit:

Revival is getting a theatrical run next month here

I could photo/scan them later if anyone cares, I just have a real busy schedule so I don't really know when later is gonna be

I bought it via proxy shipping on CDJapan: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-2541176

In total there are 47 pages about Eva, I think around 44 are full pages of interviews so yeah lots of stuff still untranslated.

If we think about the epilogue romantically, Shinji is pretty much the damsel in distress of the story. The only reason we are given as viewers for him to fall for Mari is her being nice to him and her saving him. If the genders were reversed we'd be talking a lot more about this.
