Very slim possible Eva 2.0 and beyond speculation but on Ain'tItCoolNews they have an anime update post once a week and they have this huge long figure section (didn't particularly interest me) but among the figures was a statuette for EVANGELION 1.0: YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE of ...

I once heard that Asuka was originally intended to be the "iconic" Eva girl and Anno was surprised when the fanbase rabidly latched onto Rei instead, but I can't recall the SAUCE so it probably isn't true.

Okay...for the record, we aren't considering the "Conglomerate Asuka in the Final Scene of EoE" as a "teach the controversy" thing like Evolution vs Creationism or what have you. "Conglomerate Asuka" is officially WRONG, because her eyes are NOT brown, the cell dra...

My favorite bit from the CoD is when they mistake the angel statue Kaworu sits on for a tree. Trees don't have breasts, guys. Or wings.

I'm kinda burnt out on all the S/A, S/R, S/K pairings, or maybe all of the teen pairings in general. I wish there were more fanworks for the adult characters. I wish the Hyuga/Misato, Fuyutsuki/Yui (shh, don't judge me :p ) or Aoba/Anyone pairings would get more love. Yeah, I'm w...

I love Lilith's redesign. The little twitching feet are so creepy!

I put the trailer on YouTube for those who might want to see it without spoiling Rebuild 01. It looks like a lot of stuff will be covered in Rebuild 02, assuming that the re-used shots from the series are still in the same context (Misato slapping Ritsuko, etc). My guess is that the film wil...

The artwork on the can is definitely fan-made; the original artwork was posted on THAT BOARD some time ago. It's by the same people who did the "Happy End of Eva" doujins. Since it's by a group that makes fanworks, "Kyuuko Hano" is probably just a placeholder name for the...

For anyone curious, I've posted screencaps of the Rebuild 02 trailer (including the new girl) here.

I let my Shakespeare professor borrow my copy of MST3K's Hamlet. I'm trying to convince him to show it in class. Wish me luck. "Oh, man. Me and Horatio got blasted on aquavit — woke up on the express bus to Copenhagen." Enlighten me, oh EGF masses: Just what in the hell is MST3K? T...

I like the new mask. It manages to make Lilith even creepier.

In light of this, can anyone name Touji's little sister? There is no official name, although if my sieve-like memory serves many in the fanfiction community agreed to call her "Mari". Correct; it can be traced back to Andrew Huang's "Evanjellydonut" fanfic. I'd say &...

I'm just happy to have Tabby-Chan.

It's been said that the ending will be new, but not to what degree.

Ahoy! I agree that Anno probably invented this explaination to make the rabid otaku go away. I sincerely doubt he ever said anything like this. It's like the bogus "Barons of Hell" theory. It's one of those false bits of information that circulate without a source other than "...

from "some Spanish website" That would be http://web.archive.org/web/20041206153315/http://www.eltonalteco.net/En/historiaev.php So Shinji and Asuka take bad, just as Adam and Lilith; and however Shinji and Rei were loved, although they never got it to express freely (Well, Rei says i...

Kaji's picture=No. (Imagine Misato or Asuka walking in on that....)

I wouldn't be surprised if those are Misato's clothes.

(It keeps things spicy in their relationship.)

And you thought Kaji's was wierd, Fyutsuki dressing you up as Yui and taking pics

Words fail.

According to Reichu, Bochan became frustrated after translating all the episode scripts and everyone just complained. IIRC, he was also upset that scanlation groups were using his translations of the Eva manga without crediting him. I can't blame him either, though I'm surprised he lasted s...

I don't know about that. The cover to volume 4 ruins any suspense by showing the final outcome.
