Re: Is Rei’s hair literally blue?

I don’t know how many times I have to explain that the only reason I’m even asking this is because this isn’t how Evangelion establishes its world. The only people with crazy hair colors are literal man-made alien hybrids Spoiler alert: in anime, it's always the important characters who have the cr...

Re: Does the NTE lore make anymore sense?

All the information came from supplemental material, namely the NGE2 videogame Video games aren't canon. Not even the parts that were made up by some guy after he interviewed Anno behind closed doors with no audio or videotapes rolling so we will never know what Anno actually told him. We have the ...

Re: Mari is not afflicted with the “Curse of Eva”

My assumption: Mari is literally the daughter or sister of Judas Iscariot, which would make her roughly 2,000 years old. She's naturally immortal because that's just how she rolls. It makes as much sense as any other guess. If memory serves me, the original draft for Q was said to not have Shinji in...

Re: Does the NTE lore make anymore sense?

NGE lore focused on coherent worldbuilding over mythobabble, but explicitly contradicted itself a couple of times, mostly regarding the nature of Adam (which was originally introduced in episode 8 as the first human , not the first Angel). Then the Director's Cuts and EoE came along and retconned a ...

Adam, the Giant of Light, and Ritsuko's Reiquarium rant

From the Literal Translation Project: Humans found a god, and thus, tried to obtain it. As a result, humanity was punished. That was 15 years ago. The god that they found vanished. However, they tried to revive the god themselves. It was Adam. This heavily implies that Adam and the Giant of Light ar...

Re: Could Gendo have triggered Third Impact while Kaworu was alive?

The angel elimination requirement seems to be based on some set-in-stone prophecy in the dead sea scrolls. There is no explanation of why or how this prophecy functions, or if it's FAR instruction manual why they would make it act as a prophecy as well. Yui stated to Fuyutsuki that they knew 3rd im...

Re: Evangelion phenomenon

3)It seems to me that Rei has split personalities. She doesn't. 6)After Fuyutsuki is kidnapped, the committee refers to him as a teacher and I think it's for a good reason. All or some of them could have really been his students at the university. It's unlikely. Gendo consistently refers to them as...

Re: SEELE vs Human Instrumentality Committee

Re: Where Ireul came from

Is it possible that Ireul was planted in HQ during the black out? Possible, but not supported by evidence. SEELE seemed to know about the attack, so I suspect they had something to do with making it happen. Or they have multiple sources of information instead of relying on whatever bullshit Gendo f...

Re: Kaji

NERV is equipped with a holodeck that allows SEELE members in different countries to have Zoom meetings. It only w...

Re: Is Rei’s hair literally blue?

Blue and purple are naturally existing hair colors in the Evangelion universe because it's anime and that's how anime universes work.

What reason does the audience have to believe that there's a more complicated explanation than that?

Re: It's the year of our lord 2022 and I have *finally* watched Evangelion.

Oh god, where do we even start?

First of all, Misato did NOT kill Kaji, and Unit 00 does NOT contain the soul of Ritsuko's mom. I think those are the most important ideas to squash.
