Re: ITT: Share your favorite Random Little Headcannons about cast, tech & events
I headcanon that "puppy boy" was also Mari's nickname for Gendo during their time in college together. Just seems to work and I find it funny.

Re: Best Pair: What Eva Characters Do You Ship?
The moments you cite didn't really jump out at me; it never occurred to me the girl in those flashbacks was Mari. I just figured she and other characters were background characters meant to establish that Yui introduced Gendo to some of her friends and give him some semblance of a social life. A li...

Re: Best Pair: What Eva Characters Do You Ship?
I've yet to watch Nadia, but let's keep it real here; all else held constant, those sorts of things are worse by default when the perpetrator is male. It's all down to the "eggs are expensive, sperm are cheap" reputations of each sex; same reason people feel differently about stalking or ...

Re: Best Pair: What Eva Characters Do You Ship?
Is the "Mari is in her 60s" aspect canon or just a fan theory? I certainly don't recall anything in the movies about her having been that much older than Shinji, though I'll admit I wasn't paying attention very closely. I would say it is canon. I don't buy the idea that the Mari we know i...

Re: Best Pair: What Eva Characters Do You Ship?
getting with Shinji in 3.0+1.0? I think it's great that they found a character to pair him with sans the age gap / authority gap implications of Misato I think Mari is actually worse than Misato in this front, if it is a romantic relationship between them. Mari is probably in her 60s and litera...

Post-Shin Reishin:
Posted on /c/ on 4chan on a Rei thread recently. I thought it was really cute. Can't find the original source though, so if anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Why can't EVA continue with different series like Gundam?
I personally think the best we can hope for is a bit of both. We will probably, if we get more series, which I believe we will, get a few shows with new characters and a few that bring back the OG cast. I doubt Khara would want to completely move on from Shinji and the gang. Sort of off topic, but i...

Rei's Fate in the Manga
Since Shin came out, I have been going back and rereading the Evangelion manga. Something stood out to me that didn't the first time. Which is Rei says after she blows up that she is waiting for Shinji to come back to reality, or at least I assume its literally Rei, unless you believe its metaphoric...

Re: Possible Spinoffs After 3.0+1.0
After watching the Maeda storyboards, I wouldn't mind the staff being able to make some "what if" type manga and make alternative versions of Rebuild. I mean, that's pretty much what the NGE manga did. However, if they ever would do that, then I hope they would never animate it. Personally...

Re: Why Shinji and Mari DID NOT end up as a couple: Explained
It depends a lot on your interpretation of the time and place of the final scene. If it is a timeskip, then yes, they probably are together in my opinion. But if they are still in the Anti-Universe or just got isekai'd into "Neon Genesis," then it is more ambiguous. I personally don't thin...

Re: Eva characters in the Gundam universe.
Its an interesting idea to play around with. I thought of it as someone getting into Gundam. I guess the big question is what the plot would be and if any of the characters would be Newtypes. I could see Rei being a Cyber-Newtype clone. However, I don't really see Asuka as someone like Char. If ther...

Re: Why can't EVA continue with different series like Gundam?
I think we will get for sure new Eva content. I obliviously don't have all the information, but Khara has a huge monetary incentive to keep the Eva train running. For better or for worse, art is often a business. What these new stories and what not will be, I can't tell. Personally, I would love to ...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
After watching it three times and digesting it for awhile, I can't run away from my honest opinion. I didn't vibe with this film and that makes me pretty sad. I wanted to love this movie. I wanted to cry and feel a sense of closure for this era of Evangelion. But it just didn't do that for me. Its a...

Re: Shin Eva leak general
Well, to me, it seems that sometime has passed or that they are in a completely different world. Either way, they are grown up. I don't find it escapist in the timeskip or in the new world, for Shinji to find and befriend new people and move on from his life as an Evangelion pilot.

Could you elaborate what the escapist cliché is? Is it the meeting someone that's not a pilot?

Re: Shin Eva leak general
I know, but even if it isn't romantic, I would still feel it would be better. Like I said, just my thoughts before actually seeing the film.

Re: Shin Eva leak general
I'm not judging the movie, since I will wait till I can finally watch it to do that, but I have read most of the translated script. It got me thinking. With Shin seeming to have the theme of moving on. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the girl Shinji meets at the train station be a completely new...

Re: Shin Eva leak general
The whole Shinji/Mari is the thing that threw me for a loop the most. It just seemed out of no where. But, the way Intermediate O answered the question, it seems much more ambiguous and less concrete than I think some people online are making it out.

Re: Shin Eva leak general
Well, now that it seems most of the leaks are true, I'm cautiously optimistic. It was not what I was hoping for, but I trust Anno enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. Also, it seems foolish to write it off just hearing it on paper. A lot of the things I'm iffy about might be great.
