@seph is that free?

@heromaster doesn't that degrade the quality, though?

Yes. www.ps3mediaserver.org

If you use the one called Playstation 3 Media Server it's pretty much effortless.

I sincerely disagree. Eating is an important component of human bonding, and for me, focusing on small stuff like this is what makes Eva interesting.

Which, for me, brings up something interesting. If you look at the Shinji's, Rei's, and Asuka's plugsuits, they're relatively the same, just colored differently. But Kawuro's (sp?) and Mari's seem to have these bone-like rib things on the side. We know that Kawuro is...

I don't think they ever say what it is a testbed for though. We still don't have anything to indicate that it is a testbed for the S2 engine, right?

Let me rephrase then: Watch it chronologically, in production order.

This is not necessarily a problem as far as the Evas aren't equipped with the S2 engine (well, for Rebuild we don't have this term and we don't know if the equivalent used in Eva-04 is exactly the same thing, though). For now, I think it's safer to presume that there is no S...

I am thoroughly unfamiliar with hospital treatments and sedatives (contrary to the baffling expertise of some of the contributors in this thread), but I would like to introduce a pair of caveats to this discussion: 1. Do you also know anything about Japanese hospital practice, as medical po...

How bizarre. I always thought it was obvious that this was Anno speaking, not Shinji. I never knew anyone thought of it any other way. If it is Anno speaking, why does he say goodbye to his Mother, who is still alive? Besides, why is the director making an unattributed statement here? It makes no s...

I'd say watch them as the director intended; I.E. as they were produced.

It's probably limited to three because four Evas in one place at one time would carry an above-average risk of Impacty stuff happening. And Seele wouldn't want that to happen before they say "go". I agree with this. Remember that the number of MPE's present seemed very importa...

I still prefer my theory that Rei is the pilot of Unit 08 and Shinji is its resident soul. I've always wanted to see an Eva with those pretty blue eyes... I know you're joking, but I would be absolutely fascinated if they decided to use Shinji's soul for the core of Unit 08, and we got ...

1731298478#397202, at the risk of sounding overly dramatic,you're everything this forum has needed since 2.22 was released. Thank you, and please stay a while ;)

By EoE, Shinji is at the complete end of his rope and isn't equipped to help anyone anymore. And he hates himself for it. In Rebuild, he acts like a self-centered, obsessive prick long before he ever reaches that point. And we're supposed to cheer him on. How exactly is he not at his lowest...

Perhaps we might be intended to see it that away, but most of his dialogue following and even during the incident makes it pretty hard to swallow. e.g. the infamous "Father doesn't need me anymore 'cause of the Dummy System," and the coldly impersonal "I can't just kill s...

ran1, please take this shit to some other thread. This one was actually fairly enjoyable until you brought your usual "listen to me rant about why Rebuild sucks" attitude into it. I'm fine with debating the merits of Rebuild, but please don't do it in every single thread in this su...

I think it'll be like EoE. First half action-heavy, second half inner-world-heavy.

I thought I was the only person crazy enough to suggest that the monoliths had something to do with Angels. Remember, "Seele" means "soul", and where else in NGE do you see monoliths...? Grave markers. OH SHI-- (It gets even more crazy if you consider that the lake is where ...

True, I'd forgotten about that line.

Due to the magic of CGI and more consistency in Rebuild the Evas are officially pegged as 80m. Both the 1.0 and the 2.0 Complete Record Collection books illustrate this quite clearly.
