Unlike NGE, in Rebuild there were 4 Adams that landed on Earth instead of the 1 in NGE. But their nature were nevertheless the same, they were counted collectively as a Seed of Life. But due to the law set by the First Ancestral Race that only 1 Seed of Life should awaken on a planet, the Adams wer...

The Fate of Destruction is also the Joy of the Merge

For the life of me, I will never understand people that view the timeskip as Rebuild's biggest mistake and not its most vital and redeeming feature. Yeah, for me Rebuild is almost synonymous with the timeskip. It's what gives it it's own sense of identity and makes it it's own 'thing'. Without the ...

I think the cut storyboards only show the bloodstain hitting the Moon with no object-either Mark.06 or Cassius. hitting the Moon- storyboard scan with translation (by Reichu with link to Evageeks) https://www.reddit.com/r/evangelion/comments/440erg/blood_stain_on_the_moon_evangelion_222_storyboard/

Personally I'd prefer if they didn't make something like an OVA, but explored these ideas in manga or even experimental short films like Until You Come To Me. I would fear an OVA would be treated as a required interquel to watch, and would undermine the dramatic point of the timeskip, and most the g...

There's a Flood diagram, extremely faint, as the background image of page 13 of the original series proposal document: Dies Microcosmicus, Nox Microcosmica by Robert Fludd from his Utriusque cosmi maioris scilicet et minoris metaphysica, physica atqve technica historia https://wiki.evageeks.org/File...

That drawing may not be a Seraphim, but a ... Cherubin, which is the guardian of the Eden, just like the Adams are the guardians of the gate. So this is not any particular being, but only a symbol marking the entrance to the Minus Universe. Also, considering that Asuka calls Evangelion 13 "God...

I don't think there's anything indicating a reset occurs or has to occur (esp after EOE)Think of like an 'all this has happened before, all this will happen again' type of story.

I'm not sure there's any indication Kaworu's just been born. His coffin lid appears already open and the conversation with Kiel feels more like he's updating him on the schedule than speaking for the first time. If you're an angel living on the moon sleeping/resting in your birth coffin doesn't seem...

As a practical example take Adam: In NGE and the CI, Adam is a Seed of Life created by the FAR, progenitor of the Angels who arrives on Earth in the White Moon but enters stasis when Lilith crashes on Earth. At 2nd Impact Adam goes boom- it's body is reduced to an embryo and the soul is placed in a ...

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 METAFICTION" whenever something from NGE ...

It's really hard to distinguish what's going on between a loop and a multiverse. I believe that the main question is whether or not NGE is included and how it happened. We have evidence of constant continuity, like calendar dates, which are ridiculously advance,... What would be missing is,...

For the sake of sanity I'm going to assume Yui's -02004 grave marker was an earlier idea of what the different dating system would be, and will be changed by the only thing more powerful than the Spear of Gaius- a different home release production cut# - though when trying to find a screenshot of th...

Personally, I just don’t see how it’s satisfying to interpret this stuff on a literal, in-universe level of “OMG it’s ALL CONNECTED in a BIG MULTIVERSE OF EVA!!!” rather than to appreciate it as a metafictional device that uses in-universe time loops as a metaphor for the real-world iterations of t...

I thought that line was a reference to the Fifth Adams/Evangelion 13, but after these discoveries that may not be the case, because Asuka calls that unit "God's Eva" and a "guardian angel" is not the same as a "God". I think I should have specified more that the ADAMs ...

Yeah, I don't think there's any kind of systematic Kabbalistic/Blakean mythology behind it, but it seems the backstory would be some sort of amalgamation of the Eden narrative from Genesis with the myth of Lilith and her offspring. Just re reading the chapter in Genesis: i) God plants Eden with lots...

it's a fairly common theme in sci fi anime that the Ship is in some way of ancient contruction or recovered technology: Yamato- the series takes place in 2199 (so the ship's about 260 years old then), it's wreck is exposed by the Gamilas attack dissipating the oceans and it's fitted to fly with the ...

The entriety of Non Non BiyoRei in the country side.

Not something actually in the movie, but when Eva Imaginary emerged from the gates and it's mask began to slide off for second I thought we were really about to get Giant Naked Gendo.

Anno ramming the Wunder like Misato right into Concurrency Theory there

I think I should have said that although the lanted cross might be Lilith's (and associated with the ADAMs crosses) I don't think Lilith and the ADAMs are a connected being, but this was something more like the appearance of the crosses and Calvary is more like a visual 'sign' of the succesive impac...
