Yep, just rearranging that one line from the End of Eva DVD.

Due to using Allison Keith for Misato, she naturally has the mistranslated line in EoE that goes like this: "Mankind was created from a being called Lilith, just like Adam was." I've had a thought that with some careful manipulation of the line, I can instead make it: "Mankind was cr...

The landscaping would be recent, but if Lilith has been there the whole time, then yes, the Geofront is where the first humans were created, and they could well remember it as a paradise after they were sent out to populate the rest of the planet.

Terrestrial life is descended from Lilith and ate the Fruit of Knowledge. Angels are descended from Adam and ate the Fruit of Life. Eva's mythology hinges on this setup. Interpreting Misato's words literally requires a bit of mental gymnastics and fine print redefining what an "angel" is....

Unless you count the multiple Rei-sized bodies growing out of Lilith. It's not explicitly stated that they're developing Rei clones, but it's certainly a sign that could lead one to speculate in that direction.

I'm starting from the Platinum and EoE DVD subs, but will be making a few tweaks. A few tweaks? Well, that's turned out to be something of an understatement. The probably final version of Episode 24 with my new subtitles is available now; if anyone would like to check it out, PM me. I've done the f...

As much as Rei can be considered the First Child. The two of them have different qualifications for piloting Evas than all the other pilots and potential pilots, but they certainly can pilot them.

Episode 26 cut 287: UrsusArctos: I'm curious to know what all the Japanese text says. The Japanese text is the shooting script (or whatever you call the animation equivalent) for the current scene - shots 281 to 287. The top row describes what the shot should show, from right to left (but don't put...

Each episode actually has two different titles in the original Japanese broadcast, a Japanese one early on and an English one around the middle of the episode. In some cases ADV and Netflix may have translated the Japanese titles a bit differently. Which title I prefer varies depending on the episode.

In End of Evangelion, SEELE complain about an Eva once again interfering with their plans. To me, that sounds like something that's happened more than once before. Unit 00 disposing of the Lance would probably count as one instance; could Unit 01 killing Kaworu be another? Are there any other instan...

Khara's Subs do translate most of the extra 5.1 Dialogue in the background that ADV didn't. Most of it is background noise that I think is best left untranslated - adding subtitles draws excessive attention to it and distracts from the foreground dialogue. I am including a few extra lines that were...

Ah, I'll definitely look at incorporating that into my subs, then - thanks.

Thanks! I'm starting from the Platinum and EoE DVD subs, but will be making a few tweaks. "I love you" is staying (there's an optional episode 24 to go with the original 21-23), and "just like Adam was" will definitely be fixed. I'll be comparing with the blu-ray subs for other s...

I haven't seen Ratatouille, but this is fun

one interesting bit about kaoru and the third impact almost happening in ep24 is revealed in the manga: gendo says that even if the kid had made contact with giant lilith it wouldn't have initiated instrumentality, as he was missing the most important thing: lilith's broken heart... now what does l...

3)Lilith's soul is inside Rei because during Yui's "contact experiment", which happened while Eva-01 and Lilith were still fused*, something went wrong, leading to this switch. It's kinda like the scifi trope of brains switching bodies, just more convoluted. Lilith ended up in what was le...

Thanks!

The four-and-a-half minute version of "Fly Me To The Moon" on the Japanese blu-ray features some Japanese speech from around 1:30 to 2:00. Does anyone know what it says?

Maybe she asked for freedom to leave her place of work, to be out of reach of surveillance and away from people in general. I find it hard to imagine Rei making a demand like that. It seems more likely that it was Gendo's idea - have her living offsite like a regular staff member so she doesn't aro...
