Isn't the CI from the PS2 game? I thought all that lore was written under direct supervision from Anno... you wouldn't call the First Ancestral Race "basically a fanfic", would you? I'm lost :???:

What caused the Angels to start attacking after 15 years?

I never really thought about it but... why DID Sachiel suddenly appear out of nowhere and start advancing on Lilith's position 15 years after 2nd Impact? Did it just take that long for Sachiel to mature from whatever Sandalphon-esque "egg" it was gestating in? And then why do all Sachiel's...

Did NERV/SEELE WANT Jet Alone to reach the city and meltdown?

It seems I notice something new every single time I rewatch EVA Jet Alone/A Human Work isn't a great episode, but I'm glad I didn't skip it this time, because after countless watches of the series I finally get what's ACTUALLY happening in this episode, instead of what's just shown to us. An unknown...

Who's face was used for EVA Imaginary?

I just got the 3.0+1.11 BD and I watched through the "Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0+1.0" making-of featurette and I still have no idea how they even made something so goddamn scary and jarring as EVA Imaginary, specifically the giant floating Rei head version of it. Lookin like an edgy late 20...

Re: Hideaki Anno's Bonbori Matsuri Lantern 2022

I've really been hoping for an OVA series tackling the timeskip, there's WAY too much that happened for there to never be anything actually showing it- Unit 01 launched into orbit, WILLE's internal secret formation and revolt against NERV, the 11th Angel, the ACTUAL Third Impact, Kaworu's seeming ti...

Things you didn't notice until later viewings

NTE is fuckin DENSE. Visually dense, and dense with story and dialogue. To the point that unlike where you COULD watch NGE multiple times to get more out of it, you pretty much HAVE to watch all the New Movies more than once to really GET them. I recently saw GKids' theatrical screening of Evangelio...

Re: Why is NGE, despite it's cultural impact across entertainment media, is rated an 8/10 at best among western receptio

It's very divisive, most who watch it love it, but there's also a large portion of the audience who found it pretentious or unintelligible and hate it for that. Hell, I love NGE but I'd still only give it a 9/10 if I had to assign a number, just because the animation can be limited at times and not ...

Re: Indefication of sound

The compression on it makes it sound like it could come from either the audio drama After the End, or more likely, one of the video games. I haven't played much outside of Battle Orchestra Portable and 3nd Impact [which is the best EVA game don't @ me], but if I had to guess, it might be one of the ...

Oh wow, I was just about to make a post griping about GKids never responding to my emails about the missing subtitles on the live-action deleted scene. Well, they just did, and it's confirmed: it was not intended to be missing subtitles. They now have a link where customers can order replacement di...

Japanese EVA memes?

So as far as memes go, what's been some of the historically big Japanese ones? Ones with staying power like how pre-netflix US fans call LCL Tang sometimes or Shinji pulling a prank em John on Asuka in EoE or the ever prevalent and nerd-rage inducing "Shinji get in the robot". Is there a s...

^Yeah, this definitely felt like part of the original plan for the New Movies, remakes of NGE with some new stuff thrown in or reinterpreted

Why weren't the external batteries used more often?

Something I've completely missed on my first like 4 watches is that EVAs have exterior batteries that attach to their shoulder pylons, but they're only ever used during two scenarios I can recall- the battle with Matariel, in which they have to be discarded along with the rest of Units 00, 01, and 0...

Why doesn't Rei live at HQ?

Ep24 shows Kaworu staying in a small bedroom in NERV HQ. Rei II showed no agency until Shinji showed up, she just followed orders, so I doubt she would ask to live independently. Living at HQ would make it easier to keep an eye on her, perform maintenance on her jerry-rigged duct taped body just bar...

Re: Pilot and Evangelion concept illustrations from "EVA FIX - Abnormals in Dairy Life"

Oh man EVA 08 and 13 have such sick designs, 08 looks like if Jet Alone's design was adapted to work as an Evangelion, 13 looks almost like a proto Mk.07 with it's round, basic head.

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

Yup, any time I'm playing something that wasn't written in my country in my language, it always feels like I'm experiencing it through a dirty window. Like I get most of it but I can always feel that it's not entirely the same, I'm missing some stuff inevitably.

I'm not sure of there's any other way to localize the Eva property as a whole while still keeping the subtle differences between the canons, though. ^^ This.
