:( It's sad going to an Eva panel at conventions; I expect they'll get filled up, so I get there early. And then the room ends up being a bit barren instead.

When I read through ALL of the threads in the Evangelion Discussion forum.

I just wanted to reiterate what a great panel you ran! Seriously surprised that most of the people in the audience had never watched the show, though. That's good because hopefully they'll start watching it after this weekend (if they can handle it ;) ) but I was expecting tons o...

I found the mind rape scenes to be among the most enjoyable in the series. Same here. I had a sick love for the brutality and I've never seen anything like that depicted before; too many works are more interested in the action and would completely reject the idea of going into characters' m...

I relate to both Shinji and Asuka. I'm introverted like Shinji, have his lack of self-worth, his fright and compulsion to run away from things. I have Asuka's temper (perhaps I'm even MORE hotheaded than her); I think so much less of other people; I feel like I hate everyone at t...

Who said anything about friendship? she could be your own personal pedophile. That suggestion doesn't really appeal to me, considering I'm a heterosexual female! :grin: The way I see it, having an obsession with Asuka when I'm older won't be that big of a deal for me. It's like ...

They're pretty much stating flat-out that we're in for a completely new story and character relationships. And that Asuka will play a new/different role this time around.

Reading that scares me. Eep!

-The montage in episode 9 showing Asuka and Shinji growing closer before the angel battle, and the actual battle afterwards. -Asuka's Mind Rape. As for EoE: -Asuka fighting the MP Evas, then getting defeated. -Shinji's reaction to the mangled Unit-02. -The Instrumentality bit, especially the...

True! But she's eleven years older than me...I'd prefer a friend closer in age, ha ha.

I wonder if sometime into the Rebuild, some light will be shed on this.

I'm inclined to say it's Asuka, even though she reached a real turning point when she realized her mom had been guiding her all along. Maybe after that, without all that happened afterwards, she would have gotten much better. Before that, though, she went through the mind rape, was in a cata...

Maybe the fact that she: -Made her 4 year old son watch her "die". -Left her son by himself on a deserted planet while she's all "WHEEEE" in space. -Ate her husband. (Some people liked Gendo.) -Intentionally caused the "tang"ing of all mankind. -Looks like ...

I didn't have an insane reaction. I can't remember how I felt about it, but I feel like I was dazed. I watched everything in the span of three days: woke up, watched, went to sleep, repeat. After it was over, I didn't think "WTF?" like most people, just "I need to know mor...

I've read the whole thread. I still don't get the vibe that Misato wanted to or was going to have sex with Shinji if given the chance. In 23, when she puts her hand over top of his and says "This is all I can do for you", I felt that it was innocent and she was establishing contact...

None of them. Same here. As much as I love Asuka, I don't think I could handle being around someone like that in real life. At least, if she's pulling the outward confidence act. I think we could bond when we're down because we're both mentally ill, but who wants to base a friendshi...

If you'd asked me a month ago, I would've said Rei, but I've become tolerant of her. Funnily enough, I don't hate the characters that are meant to be hated (SEELE, Gendo). It's as though since I know that's their purpose, I can't feel strongly against them. Don...

Schools in our area had a two hour delay just because of the Superbowl...except for us.

I was so tired of hearing people driving down the street honking their horns.

And I guess setting cars on fire is a new way of celebrating.

I laugh when Rei's arm falls off in EoE.

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to the series, just watched it for the first time over the summer. I believe someone gave out a spoiler in the middle of my viewing (can't remember what it was) and I yelled at them for it. They replied, "This anime is so old that it's long overdue ...
