Re: 3.0 CRC in development!

Boy, it's almost May. Did they give up? I'm reasonably interested in the Yoko Taro anime. Still haven't gotten around to playing Nier. Frankly, we should probably focus on moving forward rather than making sense of Shin. Sadly, even though I still consider Q my favorite movie, I'm of the opinion th...

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

But then Shin has, like, Asuka and Mari, alone, talking, Asuka and Kensuke, Toji with his family, and Misato and Ritsuko talking, and those scenes are pulling double-duty because they're essentially making up for lack of exposition in Q. In the scene with Misato and Ritsuko, for example, they both ...

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

Q has the script force everyone be mad at Shinji just enough for him to flee to Gendo. It's intended to be confusing for Shinji but it's also confusing to the viewer as well. I mean... That was the point. Most of the NTE movies are seen from Shinji's perspective, with the only exception being HA, w...

It's a bit incomplete on its own without the next one to deliver the "punchlines" but its arguably where the Rebuild really got brave & dared to do unique shit that pisses ppl off. I am happy that the rebuilds wanted to be brave and try something new. Q has the script force everyone b...

Re: On Getting the most out of the Shin/Redbuild series

The opposite of closure is what I got. The closure that is not earned, that is cheap and unsatisfying, is what I got. In that moment, I understood that I'm different from the majority of people who watch anime, and probably different from the majority of EVA fans. I never needed more content. I nev...

Re: 30th Anniversary short written by Anno at celebration event in Japan

She never says being a mother and having a family is not for her, It's an established character trait she doesn't want kids (episode 22). The only mothers she has known before then is the shell of her biological mom who killed herself and a doll in her place, and her step-mom who presumably is the ...

Re: Ghosts of Evangelion

While I'm still reading this story, I find it very engaging. And sadly, all too realistic a portrayal of PTSD, at least with my experiences. One note that my pedantic nature will call out: German chocolate cake is not from Germany! It was named after Sam German who developed the type of chocolate us...

Re: 30th Anniversary short written by Anno at celebration event in Japan

I always thought her desire for romance (at least in the way she pursued it) was just something she did to "fill the void"/ attention getting, not the underlying fundamental need. (which is pretty uncontroversial when you say it about Kaji) Which isn't to say she can never have a boyfrien...

Re: 30th Anniversary short written by Anno at celebration event in Japan

Although it is supposed to be Soryu, it kind of doesn't work. In NGE, the emphasis was on replacing your identity with your skill, hobby, or job—piloting EVA. When Soryu could not pilot anymore, she collapsed; that was all she had, and without piloting, she was ready to starve herself and die. In t...

Re: 30th Anniversary short written by Anno at celebration event in Japan

If you notice adult Asuka in the train scene (same on where Rei has that outfit), she is wearing a business suit. Definitely not a housewife. Soryu won't be a housewife either. She also notices Misato and Kaji - both dead at this point in the story since Soryu explicitly references the end of EoE -...

Parallels between Shinji and Asuka's journey as the show ends

A show observation I've been mulling over is that Shinji and Asuka go through some of the same story beats and themes at the end of the show, but Asuka hits her beats first. ⋅  Attempted suicide: Asuka in 24 and Shinji in 25'. ⋅  Anger at the Other "not being there for them&...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

As people have pointed out, Mari is an anomaly; she's new and doesn't have that much interaction with Shinji before this, and it's not even a romantic scene. I think Anno did not want Shinji walking off alone, and walking off with Asuka/Rei/Kaworu would make fans who ship Shinji with other character...

Re: Introduction, Toxicity of AsuShin and other things

- the last movie poster we see A/S with their backs turned to the viewers looking into the distance. Granted, can't see their faces, but we can see their BODY LANGUAGE. Neither of them seem tense, they seem relaxed. Almost at peace with each other. A rather positive scene and also the last thing we...

Re: Evangelion's 30th Anniversary

∆ Sounds like an awesome experience. :) It was. Honestly I didn't quite realize how big Evangelion was in Japan (and still is) until I visited. The exhibition sold out. One of the theaters in Ikebukuro was airing Evangelion 3.33 and the showing was packed. Obligatory EVA: https://i.imgur.com/yAFS6x...

Re: So what did Asuka see in Kaji?

When I was attending the "All of Evangelion" exhibit at Mori, there was a large cell of Kaji - it may have been from 17, or perhaps him kissing Misato in the elevator from 9. I remember two women standing near it talking - clearly friends, and if I had to guess their age, it would be early...

New here. I attended one of the "All of Evangelion" showings - the one at the Mori Arts Center in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. Really nice venue, large 01 overlooking Tokyo (Mori is on the 52nd floor and we had quite a view.) A large number of people of all sorts, definitely not just what you'd ...
