Re: Official Welcome Thread
Greetings all! Given how much I have come to love and appreciate Eva it only seemed right that I ceased my days of lurking and joined up.
I need an Eva to clobber that there Angel!

Re: Official Welcome Thread
I've been lurking around these forums for a while now so I thought it was about time I should actually join. I love Evangelion, and this community seems very nice. I'm looking forward to being here.

Re: Official Welcome Thread
I've been meaning to branch out my online presence, so I figured this would be a perfect place to start.
I'm Kyoko Soryu, which is actually a combination of Kyoko Sakura and Asuka Soryu but just happened to be Asuka's mother's name as well. Her middle name is Zeppelin, and I have a thing for airships and the '30s in general. So that worked out great. I'm generally more active in the Sonic community, despite all the things I love about the franchise now being 15+ years old. I'm mostly still in it for my parody work (link in my signature), which is an absolute blast to do. As a result most of the people I've made friends with online are obscenely talented and make me look bad, but oh well.
NGE was the first "serious" anime I ever got into, and it got me into the medium as a whole. Before then my main experience with anime had been with Pokemon, back in the late '90s. Getting into anime through a deconstruction of one of its popular subgenres is a really interesting way to do it, but NGE has remained my favorite anime of all time and one of my favorite works of fiction ever simply because I have never seen characters I identify with so deeply in anything else. Shinji is basically a male version of myself, and when I was younger I had a wonderfully Asuka-like ego before middle school destroyed what little grip on sanity I was born with.
I'm an aspiring writer, mainly with comedy but I'm equally vested in telling serious stories. It's just given my setup, doing an abridged series of a Sonic cartoon is totally feasible whilst making a serious live action film of some kind just isn't. Film is my true love, and I will yandere on your ass if you try to take her away from me. I'm one of those people who likes Citizen Kane and 2001: A Space Odyssey because they're good movies, not because I feel I'm supposed to.
Anyway, other anime I'm into include Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Cowboy Bebop and Pokemon, which I still unironically like. It's cheesy as hell and I love every moment of it. I also have a secret hidden folder of Yuri stuff, but we don't talk about that.
I have never used a smiley in my life.

At Reputable Dubbing Pictures (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGa4y4V6Ifov9zpZGUOMB5A), I have a Sonic abridged series containing elaborate NGE parodies. For some reason.

Welcome!
I'll admit I have succumbed to the practicality of smileys in rare occasions, but I am very much with you on this. Text is best.
I'm sure Rose would like to know more.

Re: Official Welcome Thread
Well hello hello there.
I've be lurking into this site like a rat at new york or like a pedophile at disneyland.
I am very shy person and now I discovered that I can't do greetings probably.
Well Evangelion was my first anime I've ever finished and it is still my favourite even to this day alongside the monogatari series
My favourite films are:EOE,Breathless and Une femme est une femme.
I LOVE the french new vawe so much it will take me a novel to explain.
I hope I will not be banned or something like that(I know this is a really wierd thing to say but I said it.)

Re: Official Welcome Thread
Heya
Since I watched all Eva stuff, read through the official manga, AU universe stories and even played some spin-off VNs like GoS 1 & 2, I can't get this franchise quite out of my head. When I first started watching NGE earlier this year I couldn't imagine that soon later I'd already buy any corresponding artbooks, ceramic merchandise and even PVC figurines. It's quite crazy how obsessive this stuff can make and nowadays it doesn't surprise me anymore why Eva is such a big deal in Japan.
I've been lurking around this place for quite some time, very constructive discussions are being held around here. Thanks for all your contributions so far!

Re: Official Welcome Thread
hi.
I'm pretty much new but... not really in a sense. I signed up a while ago but never got around to posting. I have been an NGE fan for a long time, I think I first watched it when I was 12 or 13 or something. I'm 27 now, and even though I normally rewatch the series every year or two, I just recently rewatched it after about a 5 year hiatius and realized again how much I love it.
I guess it's nice to meet all of you, and it's especially nice to (re-)discover a forum that is still somewhat active.

Re: Official Welcome Thread
Hey guys, I just got signed up. Well, I've tried joining twice now, the first time was about a year ago with a different email address, but I never could get a verification email to show up. I apparently registered this account back in January of this year, but I had the same issue with never receiving an email, even after resending it over and over. I wanted to discuss something I thought was inaccurate on a Wiki page in the talk section, and found out I needed to be signed up already on the forums and request to have a Wiki account made, so I resent an activation email one more time, and it finally worked!
So, I'm pretty happy. I've been wanting to join in on conversations around here for about 2 years now; I started lurking about 3 years ago, but I didn't do more than look at a few threads until about a year and a half, or maybe up to 2 years ago. I'm planning to make up for all the lost time pretty soon, lol. It'll be nice to meet and get to know everyone.

Yo! Evangelion was one of my earliest anime and this website seems very informative so I thought about registering, this account being the result.
