The problem is that it opens another question: we saw the Actual Third Impact generated by the Mark.06 and Lilith amalgam in Thrice, so if we assume that the Cassius impaling Unit 01 was removed to stop that Impact and that as a consequence Unit 01 awoke again and restarted it, then how was Unit 01...

I don't really understand this thing about Shinji being the trigger, maybe it'll be somewhat explained in -46h. We see that every time the impact is resumed (near third, fourth, final), it needs a new trigger (an angel sacrifice to awaken an eva). There's no reason third impact proper would be any ...

I'm not sure if I'm reading your question correctly, but there has been a lot of consideration of the Shikinami twins (see here , there , over yonder , etc.). ——— that's actual third impact right?[/quote] Sure looks like it to me. I had an idea concerning Asuka being on the beach during EvaInfinite...

Shin was was also supposed to come out in 2008, those early schedules should not be taken as an indication of how far they got in production. The only thing they probably completed for the original Q was that preview and an outline, no way they would have shelved a film in post production. Good poi...

Would be cool to have more short or vignettes of the interim, would be a nice format to give a little love to everyone, play with styles and fill some of the story by small touches... Can you make this into a commercially sensible package though ? I'd be curious seeing Tsurumaki and others putting ...

It could be that the cloth is a quickly created defense against the angelic infection, suggesting that Asuka is loaded into whatever Eva this is to face something imminent (like an MP Eva attack or a 3I scenario). My prediction is that -46h will start with N3I being stopped, the fallout from that ev...

I am curious as to whether this will be a long segment or whether it will be more of an introduction to a 2.5 type scenario. Even if it's just stills, or some scenes but not really a full film, even one scene of something larger, I will be satisfied. If this is just part 1 of a series of short films...

Except, you know, Anno forgot to give his wife's representation any character development. I believe there will be exposition once we're more enlightened as to what occurred in the 14 year gap. Interrogation by NERV would be a great way to introduce it. Also, Mari may not have had an Eva to pilot, ...

Is the girl in the picture that Fuyutuski shows Shinji confirmed to be Mari or not? It was confirmed that she was with Gendo and Yui in the past, but the girl in the picture looks way older than the 14 year old Mari we know. The woman looked to be in her 30s. Mari is certainly not physically 14. He...

Very interesting. I think it's likely a combination, as you suggested. Btw, if I'm not mistaken the original Shikinami's soul is inside Evangelion 13 (together with Kaworu) and not Unit-02 I initially thought the same, but I am thinking since the AT Fields is generated from 02 rather than 13, and ap...

It could be that the Advanced series doesn't use the same genetic material; instead of cloning Yui they are cloning Rei, which could after iterations remove that which is Yui and only impart that which is Rei. Beyond human interaction, she is nothing but a hardened soldier. The main difference I thi...

01 still includes Yui, then Rei II. 02 includes the original Shinkinami. The others may not have souls, but there could be something special with their construction; I wouldn't know specifically what that could be. Perhaps Mari could use 02 because she has compatibility with the Princess, as she cal...

I first watched Eva when I was probably 14 or 15. I had learned about it from an IRC room that I frequented. I was on dial-up, so I could only download about 1 episode per-day. I would stay up until the episode finished downloading, then I'd watch it, ruminate on the episode, start up the next episo...

Who is she betraying? Gendo? Fuyutsuki? Seele? If she was a member of the same team and Genfo, Yui, and Fuyutsuki (Gehirn/NERV) and defected with Kaji to form WILLE (or some other double-agent agency), then perhaps the Iscarot is just a "betrayer" term placed on her by Fuyutsuki, or even ...

From the first few minutes it seems to be identical to the former NHK interview. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B09C73MV21/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r.

We always knew there was something strange with Mari. From the moment she parachuted in she's been a mystery, and a lot of that mystery was dissolved in this film. We know that Mari is a contemporary of Yui, Gendo, and Fuyutsuki. It's very possible that she was part of the staff at Gehirn and even N...

So since the script is written and falls in line with the experience as a whole, and 3.0+1.0 is making extreme amounts of money, what are the chances we'll get something like an Evangelion 2.5/2.6 movie or OVA that mirrors the EoE experience while also showcasing major events in the timeskip, fillin...

It's been really nice to see the 3D wonkiness of this first few minutes iron itself out since the first showing. It's also nice to see the extra scenes, which make the whole flow of the battle make more sense and provide some context, in particular to the giant angel-bot ball and how it could even b...

Obviously there has always been plan to release the NTE in theaters. I think if it weren't for C19 this process may have been a bit different, but the delay on international release would probably be the same. While theaters are closed here in the US, iMax seems to still be open in some places. That...

It is a continuous timeline, the only thing that's looping are the characters and events. So it's kinda like a contained loop that was started at 2I and plays out the events we see with slight variations based on the decisions made at the closing of 3I. There are so many elements at play (NERV, SEEL...
