Now that I think about it penpen was also in instrumentality. You know what would be really funny, if penpen had a psychological analyzation sequence like all the other characters when he went into instrumentality. If I ever get the urge to write a weird eva fic, that's probably what it would be about.

Yeah, all the fish he ever ate could show up and call him "murderer".

That doesn't matter. It still weighs on the subconscious. Even wise lil' Lisa Simpson began to fall victim to sins she herself did not commit:

This makes me remember something I was thinking during a trip through the algey vally when tripping on hospital's happy pills. What stereotypes of common anime Eva has? I thought of the harem and mecha type. Anything else?

odd loveable pet


Whats really funny is that gainax is the only anime company( besides Ghiblie of course) that can make animal mascot characters that I actually like. I mean if it were any other anime the best I could do is tolerate the presence of an animal character like Ryohki for example. Or worse curse their very existence like I do with pikachu and especially hamtaro.

But what's simply amazing is that I dont think theres a single gainax animal mascot I dislike. I mean I really liked ebichu, given my history with hamtaro I didn't think it would be possible for me to ever like an anime hamster but Ebichu ended up being one of my fave characters. I also like penpen and that parrot from melody of oblivion. Hell even that deformed aligator thing from the woefully awful gainax anime "He is my master" was fun, that aligator was about the only thing I liked about that show.

Don't forget Misato's opinion on why Kaworu allowed himself to be killed--in the end, he had less will to live than Shinji. This could be consistent with Kaworu's own explanation, but it's interesting she would phrase it in a more personal way. The irony is that since Misato's job was not only to fight the Angels but direct the Children, she had the opportunity to view Shinji and Kaworu in the same balance. It makes the ending of #24 even more startling than the first time.

Misato was wrong; it is not at all consistent with Kaworu's explanation. Hell even Shinji knew she was wrong.

It could certainly be said that Misato was correct. Kaoru did have less of a desire for life, as evidenced by his lack luster approuch to merging with Lillith, who he thought was Adam at the time. He seemed deeply sympathetic towards those wacky lillim and was verbally expressing self doubt. "Must those born of Adam return to Adam" blah blah blah. However, it seems to be only one of several factors that led him to his final decision.

It seemed to me that Misato was once again projecting, as she often did throughout the series. One final time, she voiced an opinion that reflected her personal feelings -- in this case, hatred for the angels -- without regard for the feelings of those around her. At that final moment, she seemed to represent everyone who would never understand the level of friendship Kaoru and Shinji had, because they hadn't witnessed it first hand.

That said, there can be only one way to end the manga...




Shinji comes back, finds Asuka, and the two make their way down a lonely beach together... and come upon Kaoru's head. ;_;


...not that head, fangirls! o__O
Kaji: Commander Ikari, I've come to give you mysterious objects and say cryptic things.

Yes, that would go a long way towards redeeming the manga. Manga Kaworu must DIE!!!

Well I don't dislike manga kaworu like most of you , but it'd be damn funny if this happened, I can just imagine Asuka walking down the beach, and she steps on something odd and squish, its dark so she can't see what it is, so she bends down and takes closer look then after a moment of silence we hear an ear piercing scream.

That would be so incredibly awful and wrong, but for some reason the ideas pretty funny to me. Maybe someone should write a fanfic where Asuka finds kaworus severed head :o

That's like...a MAJOR scene. I don't hate Kaworu, but I don't love him either (unlike most female Eva fans XD), but I definetly think his death was an important part of the series.

Or you make some of laugh in joy.

Plus to pass the time Shinji and Asuka can have some fun and kick his head around a bit. I am sure both of them would find this an entertaining past time.
