The biggest problem with Shinji is his inability to read between the lines; he takes everything at face value. He actually believes Asuka wants him to stay away from her in the Wall of Jerico scene. He does not realize she's actually encouraging him to make the wall fall down. In the ep. 15 kiss sc...

The love between Yui and Gendo can be questioned if you consider Yui's actions. Yui was definitely inconsiderate towards Gendo for going through with the contact experiment, leaving her newborn child and husband behind. :rolleyes: Did she know what would happen? This is one of the questions I've tu...

Because she is a girl and girls mature faster.

I honestly thought this was Shinji when the panels came up in social media.

Could the Sailor Moon creator have been alluding to Shinji?

I don't know the date of this episode.

Or, you know.... maybe the horny and depressed 14 year-old just dismissed his conscience and whacked off because he was overcome by arousal and recovered a sense of shame upon completion.

What's annoying is that every existing topic now seems to have its own thread about the new show, but they are all the same.

I keep going to the sections for the original show or the rebuilds and seeing threads about the new upcoming series.

Isn't it about time to create a new section just for that?

I confess I just watched it subtitled in Spanish. I couldn't quite follow, honestly.

There were things I liked in the rebuild series, and I certainly don't regret watching it. That said I agree "mildly" with some of what I read here. To me rebuild is a sort of "dream" version of Evangelion. As in, the whole thing proceeds with the logic of a dream. At least I dre...

It's cool that a virtual institution can last that long.

Very glad these rooms are still here....

Thank you!

I wasn't familiar with the term CSAM but I think I can figure it out. In this sense and perhaps some other ways I guess I wasn't being perfectly true to things I have read or heard. In general there has been permissiveness and a different attitude about sexual content in general, nudity, and specifi...

If I may divert off of this tangent, my point was that for souls to be a part of the instrumentality mind-meld, they seemingly did not have to survive until the instrumentality process began. So perhaps people can run into their ancestors....? That might sound silly, but it would be a really interes...

Seele are plainly human; they turn into LCL during 3rd Impact like everyone else. Though Keel seem to have significant cyborg enhancements. According to the classified information, when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered only the parts of little consequence were released to the public, everything...

They sure did a lot of weird things in the rebuilds. I wasn't entirely clear on that, but at least in the later films the Professor appears to be turning containers or something to euthanize them or whatever. I figured they came to NERV and downloaded their minds into the containers or something, af...

My current feeling is that the rebuilds are only a fun exploration of an alternate universe that rekindles appreciation for the original. That said there were a lot of good parts and it was kind of like "It's a wonderful life" where he sees an alternate universe. I'll watch them again, but...

OK, this is a funny one. Although the show CLEARLY indicates that SEELE are human beings who communicate using distorted audio via holograph group calls (unlike the committee meetings, which are normal holograph calls) there seems to be a large fan contingent who believe that the leaders of SEELE ar...

There might be more than one theory that preserves the information we get in the show. But in any case it's interesting to talk about.

I guess I should say that the context where I found the comment--sorry I don't remember--seemed to fit into a "Japanese people are perverts" kind of vibe that annoys me as a fan of Japanese narratives and media content. Yes there is "dirty" Japanese stuff, but I think Americans t...

Here is the thing, Shinji loses his body but his soul gets a new or restored body, and he remembers it all. So the soul as understood in evangelion does retain memories, and can be fully cognizant in between bodies (as seen during instrumentality) so there is no separate need for memories to copied,...
