I'm not sure why they're even trying to make the live action movie, seeing as the chances of it being successful are rather slim, and look what one failed big budget movie did to Square http://evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/-tongue.gif Really, it's the kind of work that I, personally, d...

I think it's possible that Gendou -initially- approached Yui because of her connections to SEELE, but he fell in love in spite of himself. Yui certainly loved him, despite his flaws -- though I always wondered if she had anything to do with the metaphysical incarnation of EVA-01 that decapitate...

I think so. But Gendo's "love" for her was a blind, depraved love. He didn't care about anything. Pretty much an obsession. Gendo was an arse, like a guy that loves his wife, but beats her up because he's jealous or something. Gendo would "beat up" the whole world. I...

Hmmm... did Yui love Gendo?

we have to relate our definition of love to the question at hand were Asuka and Shinji in love- if Love the wish to reproduce then the answer is yes.

Perhaps love is just something which exists to create a better functioning race of beings (although I personally find that theory to be ultra depressing). Well, in this case, you do understand the physical aspect of love: the necessary second phase to continue propogation of a race of being...

I suppose closeness could be defined as a spiritual symbiotic dependence on eachother. Is love just a spiritual matter then? What about the physical? Symbiotic dependence is usually an occurence to cover up certain defects in an individuals life. I guess this would mean that part of love is admitti...

IMO oneness was a poor choice of words- you can never be truly one with anyone but yourself. However, I believe love represents the closest two people can get to eachother and still mantain their individuality. Good point. But what IS this closeness? Knowing each other's patterns? Liking each o...

Not very useful. Dictionaries are terrible for this sort of thing. Especially that 2nd definition... which seems to saying that Love is a culturally visible form of lust http://evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/-tongue.gif As far as being oneness... this is rocky ground.
