Jorno I kind if have to disagree with your points above. This is a new movie, it's own film and Shinji is under no obligation or guarantee to do anything in it. It would actually be better, plot wise if he sat this one out while the other characters and the overall story developed on their own. ...

The giant on the moon is indeed Eva-06, but the question is: what was it prior to becoming Eva-06? It can only really be one of three things: 1.) A clone of Lilith. 2.) A clone of Adam. 3.) The regenerated, original Adam. Seeing as how its blood trails down those coffins would indicate s...

Eiji Tsuburaya was a Catholic, hence Mothra's symbol being a cross. In one of his Ultraman shows, all of the Ultramen were crucified... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3211/2727838406_1f73cfb07a.jpg Tokusatsu references seemed more prevalent in Nadia, where the Nautilus is directly based on the A...

I like going back to NGE to find the first six episodes to be an expanded version of 1.0... Then I get to all the filler (Jet Alone, Magma-Diver...) and it's like ugh. Asuka in a fat suit? WTF? I think once Asuka comes in the show turns from riveting to goofy, at least until Bardiel show...

(BTW, Misato's cell phone sounds exactly like King Ghidorah's bell like cry...) This is a reference to the 1966 TV series "Ultraman", where the phone ringer of the Science Patrol also uses this sound effect. If I recall correctly, Anno himself once described Evangelion as ...

Why was it made if only 3 countries even had Evangelions. Or why it wasn't even hinted to in the first movie. Or why nobody sees an inherent flaw in the proposal when, regardless of separate superpowers, the truth of the matter is that all accepted Evas are ultimately built to fight Angels in J...

I don't know how reliable the Japanese Wikipedia is, but: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%B1%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B2%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B2%E3%83%B3%E6%96%B0%E5%8A%87%E5%A0%B4%E7%89%88 They are listing Evangelion Q with a runtime of 110 minutes. I'm not sure where that information...

The most ridiculous thing in 2.0 is Misato's ringtone. And you're not "otaku" unless you got the reference.

Amazon tends to do this with anything they know for sure is coming to BD sooner or later and will sell big when it does. They have pages up for Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and a plethora of other titles that haven't even been announced. Here's a good example of what I mean: http://www....

You know I always did wonder how they lived without actual water in the ocean, unless LCL can substitute for water? Freshwater streams and lakes are not affected. Your bottled water, for example, comes from streams that begin as melting ice in mountain areas. Or at least, that's what they tell ...

Do they actually bother to show Eva-04 before it blows up this time?

In a way I agree, in a way I don't. IMO, the original GunBuster was too short to be a real masterpiece. To me, it felt like some kind of... I don't know... like one of those early films a director makes while he's in film school. It had some great ideas, and was an overall entertaining O...

I understand that. If I felt any other way, I wouldn't even be on an Evangelion forum, I'd be oggling over the garbage (IMO) on Anime Network. My comments were directed primarily towards Luppus who said "if the worst violence if someone falls out of a moving object then I'll...

Good thing that applies to nothing in this thread. :)

Your sarcasm has failed to make you sound intelligent. I understand what made Evangelion great -- the characters. Nadia just has better ones. I was obviously just making a point in regards to the fact that Nadia is not some bloodless family friendly show. Which, I admit, is what I felt it would be a...

After seeing all of Evangelion I felt a void inside me, and the only thing that ever filled it was Nadia. Nadia is a brilliant show, in my opinion it is BETTER than Evangelion by leaps and bounds. And believe me, there aren't a whole lot of things I like more than Eva. Do NOT dismiss this show a...
