They were almost certainly built for pilot functionality, then Seele just had them outfitted with Kaworu Dummy Plugs.

Another early sci-fi "influence" in Eva would be the connected short stories of Cordwainer Smith. They take place in the same future history and are collectively known by the name of humanity and para-humanity's shadow government: " The Instrumentality of Mankind ". Not so mu...

I'd say you can take this one all the way back to the "I am I" poem/speech/mantra. Rei was who she was because of the links she formed with others, and back to Ramiel, because she was bonded to the eva. If we're to believe Kaworu that the ATF is really the "light of the soul&q...

I'm seeing a double feature tonight in Kansas City.

I like this chic. VHS rocks for some reason. The colors are truer to life/more vibrant on VHS tape than on DVD. That, and they just make me feel like a kid again. :boingy: Are you just saying that because you didn't like seeing Eva switched to the digital color palate in Platinum? For that reas...

My First copies of D&R and EoE were Chinese. The upside is that I actually got to see Rebirth because of it, instead of just a copypasta of the First 45 min of EOE. No thanks to Manga™.

I am of the opinion that Evangelion will be seriously studied one day in the future... to an annoying and obnoxious end. I remember a quote but I cannot find it that by Maya Angelou that basically said that her greatest fear was one day kids would be forced to memorize her work in high school. I am ...

...and after winning (demolition derby style by destroying all competition) the car will regenerate itself with the driver still trapped inside... Further scarring the random 14 year old.

I just want to be surprised ...again.

I don't like that he says Anno made an error with the second half of the movie. This is pure semantics, but error should mean that he tried to do something and failed, not that he succeeded in doing something that you didn't personally like. I have always felt Eva was made with a specific au...

Wonder how many people who saw it before 2000 got excited/dreaded that year? I remember the day of Second Impact. Not that I expected anything... Is there a reason we are misspelling anniversary? Any way... Woo Hoo! Fifteen years! I can't wait for 20, which incidentally will be in the year 2015

I get the effect from Bejeweled, and occasionally get a hypnagogic flying sensation after amusement park days

Also, props to Salty for being a Dune Fan.

The last fiction book I read was The Rediscovery of Man by Cordwainer Smith It's a collection of his short stories which are mostly in his Instrumentality of Mankind universe. (the Human Intrumentality Project from Eva is a nod to his fiction) Next Fiction I'm reading will be A Canti...

Komm Susser Tod is ridiculously easy to "recognize" as far as its structure etc. goes; it's some Pachelbel's Kanon mixed with Hey Jude From Kanon (to my ear) carries over certain chord progressions and passages, e.g that organ in beginning. Arrangement itself is pretty muc...

I wish the the Akira DVD release had had the previous dub. I miss pointing out Donatello's VA to people.

Also, excited about a Blu-Ray release. My only copy was of dubious (Chinesian) origin.

When I first starting watching Eva, it was available only on VHS tapes and whomever ran the local video store didn't bother trying to get all dubs or all subs, meaning my first time through was an incoherent mishmash of English and Nihongo. When I watch Evangelion by myself, I watch it in Japane...

Because it's not really physically possible. Souls need to inhabit bodies if they're gonna inhabit anything at all, and something PWM if they're gonna project the AT Field offensively. So either way, it looks like this soul needs to inhabit an Adam clone, which always has an anthropomor...

I disagree on the basis of Rei 3's arm falling off and not becoming LCL when her A. T. field was breaking down.
