Re: What would Shinji be like if he were raised by Gendo and Yui?

I don't think it was meant to be, though, Blockio. It seems to me like an interpretation based on some experience of his. It may well be that it doesn't work this way. But I know that I've come up with so much more ridiculous models to explain my particular qualities to myself while struggling with ...

Re: Toji vs Kaworu (who is better as a friend?)

Firstly, I guess in that part I talked more about relationships between antagonists. We normally assume that antagonist means an enemy, but in reality it's actually just that this other character currently has a conflict with the main (or another) character. Basically all the relationships Shinji ha...

Re: Pre-Episode 1 timeline headaches - Gendo & Rei's injuries

Idk about that there is even more to the inconsistency other than the 3-week comment and 22 days before flashback title's discrepancy. It seems to me that, other than this, Anno had covered the imperfections of the prearranged script's changes well enough. Unit 01 wasn't activated, but they could've...

Re: What do you think Asuka has a degree IN?

I'm gonna say she has one philosophy, got heavy into Nietzsche at a young age. Oh, finally. Finally.

Re: Pre-Episode 1 timeline headaches - Gendo & Rei's injuries

2. Gendo was injured during EVA-00's activation test, suffering full-thickness burns on his hands that resulted in severe scarring. However, these injuries are several weeks old, since he's almost always seen wearing his iconic white gloves right from the start of the series. I don't know what's wr...

Re: Toji vs Kaworu (who is better as a friend?)

I think one element that, oddly, wasn't mentioned and that should be mentioned, is the unique situation with Kaworu. As far as I saw, he didn't really know how to interact with other people, at least not in practice. He could be pleasant, but the way he acted wasn't really the way you would expect m...

Re: Toji vs Kaworu (who is better as a friend?)

I guess I'm sorry that I'm not giving a proper and detail response, as mostly I don't disagree with anything in particular regarding character views. Toji is somewhat perceptive and noble for an average teenager, definitely a better friend than Shinji could've expected to get at that point, much les...

Re: Are Rei II and Rei III considered the same characters by fans of evangelion/Rei?

In very short, no, they are considered basically different characters AFAIK. Not to say they don't have a common throughline. It's also not entirely the same opinion between the fans in regards to what memories exactly she has - some think she has some more understanding of her previous-previous lif...

Re: Is Rei human?

I mean, I agree with almost everything Kendix said and would have to think what more to add. It's just that, I have a little thought experiment in mind. The idea probably was already explored in some piece of fiction, maybe I simply remembered the concept. But still, just imagine for a minute. Futur...

Re: QMisato (knowingly???) spreads a myth about Gendo raping Rei

Rei may be someone in a human body, but she isn’t a human being. She’s a construct of someone’s idea in an attractive human body. It is the process of growing and learning and experiencing that makes us an individual. Rei hasn’t had that. What is your reference for this? Based on what I saw, she ha...

Re: Should I recommend/introduce Evangelion to someone already deep in misery?

Depends on her character, and whether she likes to think about people and how they work (not that far from that to thinking about the characters imo, as in Eva they appear a lot like real people at times). It's possible she will relate to one of the main characters strongly - from my experience, tha...

Re: QMisato (knowingly???) spreads a myth about Gendo raping Rei

They had damage done to them. They didn’t have their personality and memories uploaded to them. I don’t know. If my daughter brought home a clone to date and marry, not sure I’d feel like - oh yeah, that’s a human. I get that many are confused by the sexual attractiveness of Rei or whatever. She’s ...

So a clone, who is killed, and then recreated, and then dies again, and is recreated a third time - implanted with the same memories as the first... everyone here agrees that’s a human? Not the same memories as the first, but as the one who died before but whos memory was copied some time earlier. ...

Re: QMisato (knowingly???) spreads a myth about Gendo raping Rei

If a dog gained self awareness and the ability to speak, would it therefore be human? Agree with most of the responses to ZeroNow.

@AdamMalkovitch the story of your relationship with Eva and writing is pretty inspiring and relatable to me.

Geez, I've just realized Shinji must've slept through Asuka's birthday. Remember how he was in Unit 01 for a month. And HIP seemed to be planned for the new year's eve-first day of the year. And there were barely a few weeks between Kaji's death and EoE, sooo... One more thing to blame the baka for....
