So, on my tumblr blog, I've started a series of posts (using this timeline as the template) called "This Day in Evangelion" where I detail the events occurring in Evangelion on the day they occur. The first post is here, detailing the events of today, which are the failed synchronization test with Unit-00 as seen in the flashback at the beginning of episode 5. If anyone is interested in keeping up, all posts are tagged "This Day in Evangelion".

Note, the timeline I am using may not be perfect, but it is the most detailed one I've come across, so I'm going to be using it for my posts. I think we can all accept that a perfect timeline just doesn't exist, and have fun with the closest we can get.

I do like this timeline, as a matter of fact. Hmm, so according to that timeline today's the day Eva-00 goes berserk, Gendo's glasses crack and Rei gets her bandages, and tomorrow's the day Sachi stomps into Tokyo-3.

Actually, going by that timeline Sachiel day won't be until Thursday. Tomorrow is the day Gendo drafts the letter summoning Shinji to Tokyo-3 and Misato sends it along with the picture of herself.

The timeline does make a lot more sense, but man Shinji gets the letter within 24 hours after it's sent?

Looks like I overlooked that. Appropriate that Sachiel should come on a Thursday, since his "Angelic Day" is supposed to be Thursday!

After Rei's injury, I'd imagine they'd want their replacement pilot there as soon as possible. Shelling out the few extra bucks for priority shipping seems like a no-brainer when the alternative is Shinji not being in Tokyo-03 in time for Sachiel's attack.

Oh wow, I didn't even think of that, but you're right. That's another thing the June 22nd date didn't have going for it.

It's the 9th in Japan, which means that the JMSDF tanks should be readying themselves for Sachiel's landfall right now. Sachi should emerge from the ocean soon and the action should start. And Shinji's probably on the train now.

The fun begins! :lol:

The idea of Instrumentality spanning several days, instead of just one, is pretty interesting. NGE2 "feels" to paint it as a timeless, dream/nightmare-like, event.

Hope Reichu gives her 2 cents on her NGE2 interpretation too.

Your thoughts on Instrumentality in-game (if it seems like a timeless event or what else).

The stuff I've translated didn't seem to provide any information on the matter either way.

You've gotten blasted by an N2 mine, had both your arms and half your face ripped off by an angry Eva-01, had your ribcage ripped out and your core stoved in and you finally went BOOOOOM to very little effect...and you're happy? :tongue:

At least he died fighting for what he believed in, rather than living to see it all fail at the end.

I'm using this timeline as a basis. It puts the date of Sachiel's attack on a different date than the June 22nd one everyone was using, but it all seems pretty sound for the most part, and also gives us actual dates for most of the events in the series.
