Also incredibly late. Goodbye, Paul! I find it ironic that I'm saying goodbye to you when I thought, seven years ago, that it would stay the other way around for good.

I discovered NGE in the mid 2000s and the series as a whole changed my outlook on anime and films as a whole - experiencing eva and digging into the deep lore and thematic undertones was a life-changing experience and greatly contributed to my maturity during my teenage years.

After 1.0's release, the years between the rebuilt films were long. I discovered this forum when 2.0 released in Japanese theaters but never deep dived into this community's countless discussions until the 3.0 speculation truly started. Each movie coincided with a phase of my life (NGE middle school, 1.0 and 2.0 high school, 3.0 university and Shin with adult working life) - and looking back on it, the discussions we had on this forum were exactly what I needed to survive the long years of waiting for the next entry.

I wanted to say thanks to this community. With Shin concluding the rebuild saga, I also feel an important phase of my life has now been fulfilled and it's time to move on. I have no doubt eva will live on and lots of media will bless us longtime fans in the future, but for now this is the end of my eva journey and I'm excited to dedicate my time to other new things in my life.

Cheers!

Hi, I found this page on a funny reddit threat about NGE.

This site is interesting for me because I can read theories and see more about evangelion, that's why I was browsing some site to see this stuff.
A friend told me that I won't understood NGE and those things, so I started to see the anime and the movies (NGE + EOE) and this anime liked me too much, I was able to understood a lot of things and make theories it's to fantastic :emogendo: .
I started to watch the rebuilds and I searched in this site more theories and I'll rewatch those because I didn't pay attention to a lot of things hehehehehe, because I saw every rebuild at 12AM or 1AM :D .
I see this forum very friendly with newbies and anyone can send and receive information.
Well, also I can't speak/write English very well, but I try anyway to read and write here.
Also, I have 14th hears old and I live in Venezuela, and a part of my family doesn't like the anime hehehehe, I watched evangelion hidden of my parents hehehehe :D .
At least I found funny and exciting evangelion with those theories, psychology, and teachings ^_^ .

Also, thanks for reading

Btw, how can I put those picture (Or sticker(?) On the post of this forum? Like the Kaworu ones or the Asuka ones

Ello.

Against everything, I'm fine. Lot of things have happened since last I was here, lot of stuff has been watched. Felt like posting here again after years of inactivity and wanted to stroll by memory lane again. Almost comforting that posting here hasn't changed since I last posted.

I'm aware what happened to the site. Also seen the final Rebuild movie, gave me a sense of cathartics knowing that this franchise got a happy ending. Don't push yourself to catch me up on what's happened.

If any of the old timers want to chat and catch up, PMs are always open.

I know this bit is going to piss some people in management but I am willing to go out on strike three and I am out. I just want to appreciate the intense love for anime in general that I had a long time ago and I don't think reviewing constantly on a day to day basis is going to cut it. To Blockio, sorry we could not finish the Gundam Seed Discord marathons we'd embark on but you were my best message board friend and that's something I will never forget.

Goodbye,

LOL! Well you are right about one thing. I think I will experiment how long can I last not posting here. If I make it past a week, I will listen to a J-pop song of your choosing that you consider the worst ever.

Howdy All!

I go by Ave Omnissiah online; I first watched Evangelion about 15 or so years ago, and got back in with the Rebuild series.

My background is one of historic education and military industrial analysis, which has shaped how I view media such as Eva. Just as there is a shift away from the Great Man Theory in historiography, I find the concept of "history from below" can be fascinating in fictional mediums as well- how does the average person experience and influence the events around them?

I first stumbled on the Wiki while working on a project involving running modeling and analysis of fictional employment of real-world systems, which I decided to apply to Evangelion in part due to the detailed portrayal of recognizable defense assets. Once I got started, I decided to share the fruits of my labor with the community that had made it so much easier, so look forward to that in the coming weeks!
