I know that a ton has been written over the years (decades?) on the nature of Shinji/Misato's relationship, and it seems to be commonly accepted that a certain well-known scene in Episode 23/23' depicts Shinji mourning the apparent death of Rei and rejecting Misato's offer of sex. I have read a lot ...

23-063: I love these 'action shots' of Rei in her entry plug, i.e. all the times we get to see her craning her neck to get a better view of the target. Without getting into too much analysis, I see these cuts as kind of humanizing for Rei. We see brief glimpses of her trying , rather than a truly li...

That's a great little catch, and I don't know if anyone's brought that one up before! P.S. I've added you on as a wiki contributor, so you should get a signup email in your inbox. Amazing, thank you! EDIT: I'll begin contributing as soon as I can figure out a few details of the wiki... hopefully so...

Here's one for the OA-vs.-DC guide for episodes 21/21'. Scene 02, cut 009: In the OA edition, Misato removes her ID and handgun together from an interior jacket pocket. The result is a little awkward, as it looks like the two items are fused together. This is fixed in the DC edition, in which Misato...

Requesting wiki editing access -- I'd like to be able to make contributions to the OA-vs.-DC guides.

What would you change about Evangelion? Speaking purely in terms of aesthetics, and disregarding any symbolic significance from the change as it appears in the TV show . . . I really love the design and orange color of Evangelion Unit-00 and would have preferred if they hadn't redesigned its struct...

I just wanted to say how much I love Maya's character in the TV series. Even in the (many) sequences in which an Eva test goes horribly wrong, something about her presence on-screen is kind of calming somehow. Also, the way she adores Ritsuko is, itself, adorable. Seeing how awestruck Maya is watchi...

Consolidated multiple posts into one - Ursus 14-047: I wonder why Misato's HUD appearance here is 'un-mirrored', as if she's talking to the audience. In other scenes [including some before this one that I can't seem to find now] -- e.g. Episode 18, Cut 150 -- the HUD is 'mirrored' so as to be reada...

[addendum] ...which could be interpreted as reinforcing what we've just learned in this episode: she's smitten with Toji.

17-241: Hikari is humming "Fly Me to the Moon" here!

Hi, my name is Sarah (she/her) and I'm new, both here and to Evangelion in general. I am still watching through the TV series -- in fact I'm not particularly far in yet -- but I love it so far. I think one of the main reasons I got into it was this budding obsession with hand-drawn animation and ill...
