Re: How bad of a captain was Commander Ikari?

A good leader knows how to bring the best professionals closer. He's the commander , not the cheif of operations. Gendo chose Misato because he knew she was better than anyone for that particular job. But, at the end of the day, he's still her boss. Exactly. If I could travel back in time to 2003 I...

Re: Can an Evangelion have the soul of the pilot's father?

I got it! Unit-00 contains the soul of Yui's mother! I always liked the theory that is has Naoko inside it since that paralells and contrasts with Asuka's mother being in unit 02: Asuka's mother loved her in life but tried to kill her in a fit of madness before killing herself, and Naoko tried to a...

Re: How bad of a captain was Commander Ikari?

Everything I've seen of Gendo Ikari's skills indicates that he is a cunning and Machiavellian schemer but not a good tactician. The old "Evil Ambassador Gendo" meme is on the money: Gendo is a great schemer but a poor warlord.

Re: Can an Evangelion have the soul of the pilot's father?

Let's not forget that Shinji is absorbed by Unit 01, and he's male. The storage of a male soul in an Eva is not an issue. The requirement of a mother-child bond to motivate the pilot is largely for thematic reasons, not a limitation of the fake technology.

Re: Is Rei’s hair literally blue?

I sometimes think it is a psychological tactic form Gendo to further alienate her from normal people and increase his control of her through social isolation.

Re: Tv documentary to air about the last 4 years of Anno and production of shin eva

It's interesting that he made a point about Moyocco at the screening since that was a moment that stuck with me too. But I was more taken aback by how supportive she seemed while Anno was kinda...not reacting to her at all in a weird and cold way? I thought her support was a bit childish in it's ex...

Re: Shin Eva General: Reborn

Regarding Mari and Asuka specifically, I also don't like the epilogue splitting them in a way. Asuka not only loses her old/new love but also her best friend for basically a lifetime. Mari is clearly far more attached to Asuka than to Shinji. Valid and relevant. They wrote themselves into a corner....

Baby Asuka https://i.imgur.com/kyaTDCT.jpg Beautiful wholesome image. Text says: danke das du geboren bist thank you for being born Presumably in reference to both Asuka's physical and her spiritual rebirth. Though maybe Kyouko is thanking Asuka for deciding to live?

Re: Tv documentary to air about the last 4 years of Anno and production of shin eva

Apparently (according to posts on 2ch) the scene where Asuka force-feeds Shinji is a dramatization of an incident when Moyoco had to force Hideaki to eat, after he'd given up doing so because of his depression. Get you a woman who will refuse to allow your suicide. That event also throws light on w...

Re: Shin Eva General: Reborn

Or maybe the rebuilds should have been a 26-50 episode anime? That's always been my opinion: the movie format simply does not allow the depth of the TV series. I would have liked longer episodes as well, the 50 or so minute length of a "one hour" TV episode in the Us (minus commercial tim...
