No, this thread is about not being idiots and erasing other member's posts for pleasing high post count people.

Goodbye.

With Rebuild, GAINAX and its minions have a really good chance for offering a valid retcon that can make a canon - compliant story possible for LAEM. Wo wo, hold up, Rebuild is not supposed to be canon, Mr. Anno himself has stated he is satisfied with the original series. Furthermore, what's wi...

shes obviously Shinji's cousin who he shouldnt have romantic feelings about yet he cant help himself. I start disliking this Mari thing quite a bit. I might even start disliking it even more than I disliked Shinji's wimpy persona. And some other concepts seem to be placed in there like flyi...

Fighting 12 angels at once would make for an interesting finale but it just wouldn't be Evangelion without something far more disturbing taking place as we saw in EoE. i get the feeling anno judst doesn't like america. Having feelings of nationalism in the situation Japan is in with the USA...

Yes, Ryunosuke Kamiki is a male.

Yeah, just that Shinji isn't, at least in the very manly way.

Wow... Abe is practically a RL dead ringer for Gendo. EDIT: Evidently he's 189cm (6'2") tall, as well. I guess tall Japanese people aren't a myth after all. (This makes me feel much more secure about my random decision to make Akira Katsuragi precisely 189cm long before...

...and the topic of the thread is?

stuff I resent you telling me to reread your post, since I read it several times, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because my post was a bit unclear, and because my class was almost over I didn't respond to the later parts of it. You've got the most compelling argument I'v...

I was just being a pain in the ass when I made my comment, but to elaborate for the sake of moving on: NGE sometimes uses "humans" to refer to us (Lilin, or Homo sapiens ), but there's a broader "WTF?" definition lurking about that incorporates us, Adam, Adam's o...

There is enough reference population within the series to make a comparison though. post-CE Yui is not human in the same sense that Misato, Ritsuko, Shinji, Asuka, Gendo, Fuyutski, Maya and her hypothetical lover are etc. She is also not like post-CE Kyoko, being resident of the sole host EVA body ...

One thing I can mention, though- You say post-CE Yui is not "human" anymore. While I know what you mean and I'm probably just being a pain in the ass :wink:, I should point out that NGE is a little bizarre with how it defines "human" throughout the show -- i.e., all the supe...

My own take on things is that Yui is morally ambiguous; words like "malevolent" and "evil" are grotesque simplifications and do not do justice to the situation or her character in the slightest. The very way that she is portrayed to us, as a woman lacking the slightest sign of p...

I used the word "material", implying samples, not complete organisms. In order to study organisms, bioengineer them, and clone them, you need actual raw material to work with, along with any useful work that's been done before you. And all those samples are scientific treasures, preci...

Dome-style? Like Thunderdome? I'm pretty sure that was Australian, not Greek.

Check your Wernicke. It is a part of a body part

Mother-in-law syndrome or not, she still puts Shinji's best interests before her own. However manipulative she may be, that's all you can really ask of a mother, right? I agree with you, however consider it also under this perspective: Without Shinji, who could pilot shogoki? The dummy plug...

It was either that, or be assassinated and have absolutely no hope for Shinji's future. She has a bleak option and a hopeless option; there's no third option she could've taken that would've saved the world without crushing Shinji's fragile little soul. In the series, it is expl...

He can always have his eyes fixed in the wonderful world of NGE that can recompose bodies out of LCL.

yup

Oh come on, just because he wears glasses it doesn't mean that he should flunk pilot admission!
