She was probably inflating the situation to seem like she was given some sort of privilege. I don't think she actually believed he was thrown out.

Unfortunately, the major flaw of NTE is that it is too Shinji-centric. Any additional character development is diminished by this narrative construction. It's not that there isn't a story without Shinji, but it's far from being in the same level in the plot.

Thank you very much, it was fascinating!

Excellent news! I have already updated the CRC page with due credits to her.

Thanks!

I would like to ask how was the process of adaptation of the lyrics of Komm Susser Tod and Everything You've Ever Dreamed to English and if he had any sort of contact with Arianne. If he did, how was his perception of her interpretation of the lyrics. His musical/artistical influences for his Evange...

There's no indication of such.

Actually, as AXXºN described, Miyazaki was a communist. Until the 90s, more or less. Today he would be best described as a social democrat, or left-wing environmentalist. The fall of the Soviet Union deeply shook his beliefs in the socialist system.

There's this excellent video on the subject.

As someone who jumped at the idea of ​​2.5 as soon as the title got around, I really liked 5/2 as well. It's genius!

Regarding to militarism and promotion of national industry, yes, Anno makes such points very present. Shin Godzilla is quite a example. As I said earlier, it's not for a propagandistic purpose, but as a big amusement park. His passion for trains, aircraft and ships can be seen even in works that are...

The presence of nationalism in Anno's works is quite prominent, but honestly, I've never seen it as a nod to a revisionist agenda like in more recent works (I specifically remember Attack on Titan being banned from China for having a character based on a military accused of war crimes, an issue that...

I'm resurrecting this thread to let you know that I'm putting the translations Riki is doing on the wiki. She's currently working on translating Anno's interview, and I'm putting out the parts as she makes them available. https://wiki.evageeks.org/Evangelion_1.0_Complete_Records_Collection Some inte...

Well, in Revelation 10:1, we have the following: And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and an arch of colored light was round his head , and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. From what I've read, the rainbow appears whenever God i...

I played for a while, it was fun.

The translation is very good, I didn't notice anything that needed a note. Congratulations on your loyalty to the script at work, and thank you!

I just love the symbolism present in the statue. It itself makes no sense in being something we've seen before, but can be a tease of the future content, like the Evas-MP, as like you said. It has the clear resemblance that Ursus cited above. The parallel with Kaworu is very apparent. It sounds like...

Thank you very much for the reply, you raised several significant points! To begin, in the initial 3.0 + 1.0 operation in Paris, the "Vatican Treaty" is cited. This to me always seemed to be a sign that the world, even though it was quite devasted, still preserved a more or less organized ...

So, considering that Rebuild is now over, I think we're free to further discuss what happened during the time-skip. I've gotten used to calling this period as "Evangelion 2.5", as in recent interviews, Anno said he was supposedly open to making or (giving freedom to make) a film dedicated ...

Wow, this one is obscure. Thank you very much for the translation work! I will play it and then post a review here.

Thanks! I am very happy in helping here.

I remember that Madoka's third film figured in the shortlist in 2014, which was a super curious fact. Considering how much marketing this movie is getting from Amazon, I wouldn't really be surprised if it was considered. Being a candidate for the final 5 selected is difficult. Winning just wouldn't ...

Awesome! Thank you very much for sharing it!
