Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise!

I dont know really, i though i would try make things interesting. And like you can talk, the only two people Who can understand what you just said is you (Titus) and me ( Timesplitter 01)
Give you a hint: Its a law saying. ( RES IPSA LOQUITUR )
Anyway found this in a book by Susan J. Napier
Susan J. Napier wrote:In evangelion's darker version, however, such a celebratory coming-of-age fantasy is largely undermined. The sexual transgressiveness and ambiguity that markboth EVA and angel are embodied in a more psychosocial way in general dysfunctionality of the human protagonists. This is clear throughout the series as the focus turns at least as much to the bickerings, sexual angst, and family secrets of the three young mecha polits and their mentors as to the mecha action. Also, as has been shown with Shinji, the characters attitude toward thier hightech body armor is often ambivalent at best. Rather than empowering them, their huge EVAs leave them wracked with pain and deeply vunerable. Far from beinging victory, body armor in this series only leads to physcial and emotional damage.
Indeed, the EVA's can be seen as otward manifestations of the characters own defenses, not only against the world but against each other. Instead of enabling them to feel protected and potentially more capable of human interaction, the EVA's only add to the characters alienation. Thus, while Shinji and his roommate and fellow EVA polit, the striking Asuka Langley, might be expected to develop a romantic attraction for each other, their sexual tension, although clearly evident in some episodes of mutual fumbling, is usually subsumed under Asuka's intense competitiveness as to who gets to lead in combat with the Angels.
..........................
Sheilded in thier EVA armour, Asuka, Shinji, and Rei are incapable of any meaningful interaction beyond competitiveness in combat and the occasional bleak foray into sexual experimentation
This is only a page ( 3/4 of it on the page) about evangelion. There are few other pages that deal with evangelion but the rest of the book is about the culture of anime.
But I thought this would be interesting ( Just a note, I typed this out)
I have too much anime, yet it's not enough. Anime Addict, if it were a drug; I'd be dead.

Mega catch-up post...
I was meaning no-one else at NERV, rather than any of us in the audience; the sentiment that bursts out of her in Complementation
[code:1]Asuka:
You really think you understand me!? You think that you can help me?
That is so ARROGANT! You couldn't possibly understand me!! [/code:1]
directed at Shinji, who is one of the least equipped to say "I have been somewhere near where you have been." Part of the reason that I have, as Reichu put it, a complicated relationship with Asuka, is that in some respects, I think I can.
Not that we get to see much kindness - or more correctly, much sympathy, in the underlying meaning of fellow feeling - being shown her. Aside from the moments with Hikari, where Asuka acts as a girl her age, there's little sense that anyone reacts to the obvious and public warning signs on her CV (like her degree).
That probably isn't a bad model - certainly better than the fact that she reminded me of me.
Shinji/Asuka is a whole separate can of worms...

Hey hey hey, At one point or another i think everyone has tried to understand her, I actually feel kinda sorry for her sometimes.

Hmmm, I think I'll pick it up. It's been a while since I read a physical book! I wish the hardcover was cheaper though. I prefer that instead.
Meh, I bought it, it wasn't that great. Like saying Shinji masturbated over Asuka with a sad look on his face (yes, those are the words she used). We didn't even see his face! Except for when his eyes went :shock: when breasts where exposed. And every example used is cited as comming from episode three, though they come from almost every episode except no. 3.

I just though it had some good points on anime in general
I'll probably grab it just because it's on the topic of anime. I really think that there are VERY few people able to write about Eva related topics in a book that will please this crowd. I'm willing to bet the threads that go on here and AN go far deeper than anything written in a book that wasn't authored by Anno himself.

It has about in total, in the book, no more than 10 pages in total ( I would say closer to about 4 pages).
The thing I typed out is from page 100 of that book.
Of course some of the stuff about eva, she trys to explain is totally wrong. But sometime she gets it right.
