Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
IIRC, the United Nations still exist. The Japanese military still exist, as they're the ones conducting the assault in EoE (or, if I'm not mistaken, trying to deal conventionally with the Angel before Eva-01 trial by fire in episode 1) even if in NGE world they're under the UN purview (as is the Pa...

Re: Does Shinji accept Instrumentality in the TV ending? My argument V Contradicting supplementary material
tl;dr - EoTV is Gendo's Instrumentality plan, EoE is SEELE's Not precisely; the one ultimately pulling the strings is Yui. The very short of the respective plans is that Seele wishes to utilize humanity as a means for their personal gain, to make themselves not quite gods, but close to that; Gendo'...

Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
Then I fail to see what you are arguing for at all beyond semantics. The council, whichever name they go by, was quite clearly made out as a shady operation in the overall visual language, with the color-coded holograms, harsh shadows and overall less-than-trustworthy atmosphere; it also invokes si...

Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
I never said the Jet Alone episode was "planned out". The real answer, of course, is that Seele didn't exist when Jet Alone was written. You are openly contradicting yourself. I am not. If, hypothetically, nothing was planned out (I'm not saying that this was the case, this is just for th...

Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
The translation choice was made deliberately Considering Michael House's comments, this means very little. I strongly doubt the Kant reference was intentional. and even without the name, the HIC is very much built up to be more than just some government officials only thinking of their budget. Only...

Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
"human instrumentality" is a riff on Kant's moral principle that people must not be instrumentalized, that you can't just go around using and misleading people in whichever way you like No it isn't. That's complete bullshit. We know for a fact that Instrumentality meant nothing beyond the...

Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
Was it "Seele" at the time, or just "The Committee?" I forget how the naming conventions played out as the show was produced, I just know that the monoliths weren't used until much later. Not that it means much to the greater plot structure, I suppose... Seele is not named as su...

Episode 21: Cut 119: This briefcase is a reference to an identical one used by Commander Straker in British sci-fi series UFO , the most explicit of many influences the series had on Evangelion . Comparisons could indeed be made between this episode and UFO 's similar episode Confetti Check A-OK . ...

Re: Did Evangelion really run out of budget?
I've seen some interviews to the opposite, do you have any sources for that? I'd love to read them Especially about the toy stuff - I'd always heard that because none of the main sponsors were toy companies, they had a lot more freedom with the Eva designs (hence why they're tall, thin, and unsuite...

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021
I just did some comparisons, and maybe this is already known, but the Japanese BD did not have the original OA for 21-24. It had the edits of the Director's Cut versions, meaning the Asuka image above is not on the BD, the redrawn one is--it's just that certain things were omitted so that it more c...

If you actually read those articles, they don't really have anything to do with his claim. His claim: licensing FMttM is expensive. The articles: licensing is expensive because more deep-pocketed players are getting in the game, treating music rights as an investment, driving up demand, and thus dr...

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021
Per his Twitter bio, he's a news editor at one of the largest anime distributors in the West. That doesn’t mean it’s anything other than speculation. Considering how even one of the largest tech companies in the world couldn't open their purse wide enough for FMttM, I'm inclined to believe him. You...

Re: A little question for non-supporters of "Sequel Theory"
I think, from an out-of-universe perspective, if you accept that the loops exist, then you have to accept that NGE is one of the loops; for what would the purpose of the loops be otherwise? Not to mention it requires the most lore-focused Eva community out there to plug its ears and go "LA LA M...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release
Come to think of it, does the UK ever get dubs in a “British accent”? Only dub I've ever seen from the UK was Arrietty, from Studiocanal. Literally no idea why it exists considering there is another English dub so what's the point in two, but I am glad it does exist. Olivia Colman and Saoirse Ronan...
